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.

Cons

"I think they should have a larger data center in China, which would significantly increase the access speed from my current workspace."
"Lacks relevancy for the current generation."
"It is a cloud solution, so we cannot do much customization. However, if you have a past license, you can do the customization, but unfortunately, we don't have a past license. If we had that, we would have been 100% happy."
"The user interface, as well as the interfaces between modules, should definitely be enhanced."
