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…

Offers a very competitive pricing model but needs to offer flexibility
In my company, we are going down with the implementation service because it is too much of a hassle. If you are supporting European-based companies being located in another location, Zoho is not flexible. As a vendor, you cannot support European business in Asia. You need to be a European vendor to support European business in Asia, and I gave Zoho feedback already that it doesn't make sense as the European vendor who's not on the ground in Asia does not understand the requirements in Asia. As per Zoho, the European vendor makes a joint venture with a local vendor in Asia, and then they do the project together, but I feel that no customer will pay for such complexity. The only challenge is if you are a European business based in Asia and you want to have your data on an EU server, it is a nightmare. The tool should offer more flexibility in areas like attendance. Its features are okay. The solution needs more reporting tools. I should be able to choose where to store the data since, as a European business, you are obliged to store your data in Europe.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has new features like AI-embedded solutions that are very useful for helping customers gain a lot of new insights."
"Robust and very dependable."
"I like the interfaces, and they are fine. I would like to see more interfaces."
"In terms of ERP, it's a good product. It's convenient."
"This solution is user friendly and can be used on a mobile phone without a computer."
"I think that it's stable. I don't believe that there are any issues."
"The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback."
"Offers a good balanced scorecard capability."
"Zoho People has valuable features like simplicity in use and ease of configuration."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its analytics part."
 

Cons

"The tool's configurable side allows you to have more flexibility, but at the same time, it creates a lot of confusion that still has to do over so much of the configuration, which are areas that are conflicting in nature."
"The data uploading part and backup could be better. They are a bit complex. Oracle is continuously changing it from one functionality to another. It's a bit unstable right now, and it's basically on the backend data upload part. If I have to upload, for example, data for 100 employees, it's a bit of a challenge for an end-user. It can be difficult if you're not a technical person and an end-user like me. I administer the platform, and if I get a request to upload and I'm not a technical person, then I'm just lost. I have to do some research and then complete the task. But it's evolving, and I hope it's more user-friendly in the future. In the next release, I would like a more stable mobile application. The current version isn't very stable. It takes time to open, and although they have come up with new UI pages, a few open areas need to be addressed. I would also like to see more robust and user-friendly data uploading techniques that would be helpful for end users like us. We don't have a technical background, and we just want to upload the data for our day-to-day operations."
"Visually, Oracle HCM Cloud needs improvement. For example, the employee portal looks rather old, so it would be awesome if Oracle refreshed its design or if the portal looked more modern. Oracle HCM Cloud works, but visually, it needs improvement."
"Oracle needs to make some sort of support repository that is up to date."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"In some cases, the price may be lower depending on what is negotiated."
"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."
"The only challenge is if you are a European business based in Asia and you want to have your data on an EU server, it is a nightmare."
"There is also a need to improve the accessibility of historical employee data, making it as seamless as some other systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is high."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"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."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."
"On average, it's not a cheap solution."
"Zoho People Plus has a very competitive pricing model. The pricing part is tier-based, and it is eight Euros per user."
