Provides unified access to multiple HR functions and reduces navigation effort
I am generally satisfied with the talent management capabilities in Oracle HCM Cloud, but as I mentioned, there are certain pages that really lag sometimes and there are a lot of bugs in talent management. Before, when it had a responsive UI, it was fine, but after it switched to Redwood, I feel there are bugs, and the functionality stated in the documents is not accurate. It takes some time to get that feature, and we need to raise product SR or ask in the community how it works. It's not easily understandable, especially in the talent management area. One potential area of improvement for Oracle HCM Cloud is that it lags. It takes time to reflect the pages, and the loading time now requires us to wait for the page to load. Earlier, we used to click and see the page immediately. However, now we need to wait for it to get loaded, which can be frustrating when working in a fast mode.

We benefit from built-in automations like notifications and standard processes, but customer support needs improvement
Learning Sympa HR was a mix of basics that were easy to grasp and some aspects that required more understanding due to customization. While it adapted to some of our specific needs, there were still areas that needed further tailoring, especially in integrations with other systems like Zoom. Currently, we're not using AI features in Sympa, but we're considering it as a future project to automate manual tasks in HR, although we're mindful of data privacy concerns when integrating AI tools with confidential personal data. I would rate Sympa HR at a seven out of ten. While it has some fundamental issues like allowing multiple leave applications for the same dates, it also offers a nice user experience. I would recommend it with reservations. If you're clear about your needs and can manage some shortcomings, it's a good option. However, if you require more reliable system support, you might want to explore other alternatives.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Recruitment, talent management, and payroll are the most important features of talent management, especially in the Middle East, where I work. Performance management includes objective settings, performance evaluation, talent review, and succession planning. It also covers goal cascading, setting objectives, performance evaluations, and midyear reviews for performance improvement."
"It's highly stable because the system is totally managed by Oracle, Oracle provides 99.9% availability for the system uptime."
"The product's most valuable feature is the centralization of data."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based tool."
"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
"It is a configurable, scalable solution."
"The newer Redwood team is more client-focused and this is very valuable."
"It has simplified the management of users and roles into a single UI and is a great advance for implementers and system administrators alike."
"One of my favorite features of Sympa HR is its customization options. You can tailor it to meet your specific needs, which is really beneficial for HR processes."
"Sympa HR was helpful since it helped me manage HR master data in a single system."
 

Cons

"I rate this solution a three out of ten."
"We have received some unfavorable feedback regarding Oracle HCM Cloud's performance. This has led us to investigate alternative solutions. In my own experience, I have struggled with the slowness of the cloud assessment and the overwhelming complexity of the software's robust architecture. I have reservations about sharing any positive experiences I may have had with the solution."
"Exposure to users on the volume or utilization of servers and memory is necessary. Currently, when users hit the threshold, the system experiences a slowdown."
"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve by adding AI and more offline capabilities."
"I rate the technical support of Oracle HCM Cloud an eight out of ten. There is some room for improvement."
"Oracle's technical support is generally satisfactory yet lacks flexibility and rapid response times."
"It would be very nice if we were able to roll back transactions from data that was loaded with the data loader."
"HCM's analytics features could be improved."
"Sympa HR has some fundamental issues like allowing multiple leave applications for the same dates. That needs improvement."
"As a developer, I can say that some of Sympa HR's back-end functionalities, like the API systems, aren't fully fledged or modern enough, a downside of which Sympa is aware."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product could be more affordable."
"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."
"Though I cannot comment on the solution's cost, a fixed cost is involved based on my understanding. The cost multiplies based on the number of users."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
"According to the Turkish market, the pricing is a little bit expensive."
"The data traffic cost is expensive. The solution can scale up beyond my imagination, but the cost can rise up easily."
"The price for Oracle HCM Cloud is expensive in Iran, but in other countries, such as Turkey, it can be reasonably priced."
"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."
