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 Cloud's most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly."
"The solution has good accessibility; it's easy to use and not very confusing."

Cons

"Cloud learning can be improved."
"Occasionally there are problems with stability."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"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 product is comparably complex to install and deploy properly."
"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."
"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve by adding AI and more offline capabilities."
"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."
"It would be good if the solution provided more extensive training sessions."
"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."

"The solution should focus more on user experience and less on the technical side."

"We have had issues with respect to incidents."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"I don't know how much it costs, but I know that everything is included. We don't pay anything extra apart from the licensing fee."
"On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."
"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."
"The solution is quite expensive for small and medium-sized companies."
"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."
