Kishor Namburu - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlines HR operations and reduces management through valuable self-service features
We used Oracle HCM Cloud for HRMS to access without a perpetual license. We aimed to transition employees to the cloud because Oracle planned to stop support for E Business Suite by twenty twenty-five. We wanted to test and understand how Oracle HCM Cloud would support our business needs It…
Thomas Göbel - PeerSpot reviewer
A user-friendly solution that can be used for recruitment, performance management, and organization management
The solution is quite complex with all of the requirements that we have as a big company. When we get information about some task to do in Workday Human Capital Management, it's not easy to find it. The solution should focus more on user experience and less on the technical side.

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.

"All the features are good."
"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."

"In terms of ERP, it's a good product. It's convenient."
"Workday Human Capital Management is a user-friendly solution."

It’s designed to handle most tasks automatically. I rate it a nine out of ten. The solution is highly scalable. I rate it an eight out of ten. This solution consistently supports its customers through its implementation partners or sales support. The setup is designed to be user-friendly and straightforward.

"Workday Human Capital Management's most valuable feature is self-service."

Cons

"Oracle's technical support is generally satisfactory yet lacks flexibility and rapid response times."
"In the next release, I would like to see a new recruitments module. I would like to see the preboarding so that it sends out integrations through personal email. That would be very useful."
"The solution could improve by having better integration between on-premise and the cloud. It can be difficult and time-consuming to migrate our applications and interfaces."
"Oracle should have different bundles to provide access to courses. Then, we would be able to increase our knowledge on how to use Oracle applications."
"Occasionally there are problems with stability."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"Once we are done working on a template, we can't change it unless we create a new one."
"The product needs to keep improving the integration tools and the tools to load the data - that whole mechanism - in order to allow for flexibility in the configuration."
"The tool has certain shortcomings when it comes to its integration capabilities with other systems in our company, making it an area where improvements are required."
"It would be good if the solution provided more extensive training sessions."
"The solution should focus more on user experience and less on the technical side."
"The solution should enhance its flexibility and promptly incorporate the brainstormed ideas into the upcoming releases. Typically, after their brainstorming session, it takes one or two update cycles for the changes to reflect in the tenant."
"We have had issues with respect to incidents."
"Currently, the product's payroll feature works only in four countries. It should work for more countries."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
"On average, it's not a cheap solution."
"According to the Turkish market, the pricing is a little bit expensive."
"The contract for one of them will be extended for three years and for another one for two years. One of them is paying monthly, and another one is paying per quarter. I don't know about the third one. So, it differs."
"I haven't personally dealt with the cost details, but based on client feedback, Oracle HCM Cloud is considered expensive due to additional support costs on top of licensing fees."
"The solution is expensive."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
"There is a subscription to use this solution, and there can be additional fees."
"The solution’s pricing is better than SAP SuccessFactors."
"Each module comes with an additional cost. It operates on a mid-price model. So, there is an additional payment for each module needed. The solution might be costlier for smaller companies, making it more suitable for mid to large-sized enterprises."
