Q&A Highlights
Question: Feedback on SumTotal Talent.
Answer: I see them less in recent new contracts for larger organisations, which are typically won by the other ones mentioned in Q2. From what I have seen from Sumtotal, it is a fine LMS but may be a bit old fashioned with less appealing learning experience. Other attention points are availability of experienced consultancy services in your area and the integration with other modules in the Talent suite, as some of these have been acquired, so integration may be an issue.

Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Our overall evaluation of Oracle HCM Cloud as a general ledger tool is mixed. It is a comprehensive and versatile piece of software.""The technical support is very good.""The product's most valuable feature is the centralization of data.""It's highly stable because the system is totally managed by Oracle, Oracle provides 99.9% availability for the system uptime.""The tool's implementation has resulted in significant time savings, ranging from 30 to 50 percent across various processes. Oracle HCM, particularly its payroll functionality, has proven to be highly valuable for our organization. Additionally, the ability to implement various customizations has proven valuable. The robust nature of Oracle HCM Cloud ensures high accuracy.""The most valuable feature of Oracle HCM Cloud is the dashboards, customization, and configuration.""It is very user-friendly. Most of the UI is very intuitive so you don't need to follow a course to follow it up.""The initial setup or implementation process of the solution is fine. The deployment process took place in two days. So, once one has the runbook and everything in place, it is not that difficult."

Cons
"The recruitment aspect is good, but it's new and it still needs some enhancements. In the future, we hope it will be similar to Taleo.""An employee needs training to apply for leave, something as simple as that. They shouldn't need training materials or user guides to navigate the system. We're moving towards empowering users, especially with end-user-facing systems. People should be self-reliant and not need to rely on manuals. Oracle HCM Cloud is very old-school in this regard.""Occasionally there are problems with stability.""The solutions could improve by having better performance. There are times when we have experienced some delays. The reports could be quicker.""I was part of a program I went to where I had a discussion on the latest innovation of the Oracle HCM. I think some of the newer technology innovations, such as gamification and consumerization are areas that could be improved.""Oracle needs to make some sort of support repository that is up to date.""The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules.""In some cases, the price may be lower depending on what is negotiated."
