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.

Simplicity in configuration enhances performance management discussions

Zoho People has valuable features like simplicity in use and ease of configuration. The performance management feature is particularly good as it provides flexibility in managing performance cycles. It allows the measurement of various aspects like KPIs, goals, and competency skills. It also helps in plotting the nine-box grid, which is crucial for performance and talent management discussions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle HCM has a great reporting platform, OTPI, with drag-and-drop functionality. I can design my own reports without relying on the technical team. This empowers HR users to create reports based on their needs, which is a huge advantage."

"Oracle HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly."

"The initial setup or implementation process of the solution is fine. The deployment process took place in two days. So, once one has the runbook and everything in place, it is not that difficult."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle HCM Cloud is its integration."

"Since it is an integrated solution, it brings speed and efficiency to the business process."

"It is a configurable, scalable solution."

"We have not had any issues with the stability of this solution."

"The feature I find most valuable in Oracle HCM Cloud is 'Journeys'. This feature is widely used across clients for onboarding, offboarding, and other automated tasks without manual intervention."

More Oracle HCM Cloud pros

"We are quite satisfied with Odoo; we are able to add modules or apps whatever we require based on our company's requirements on our own."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its analytics part."

"Zoho People has valuable features like simplicity in use and ease of configuration."

Cons

"Although the performance management is good, it could be improved as its functionality is quite basic."

"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."

"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."

"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."

"The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules."

"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."

"There needs to be familiarity mixed in with novelty."

"The initial setup is straightforward. However, it is more complex than Oracle Taleo because it has a lot more features have complexity."

More Oracle HCM Cloud cons

"There is also a need to improve the accessibility of historical employee data, making it as seamless as some other systems."

"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."

"We decided to switch because it was not very compatible with our system. Our employees were not comfortable."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"On average, it's not a cheap solution."

"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."

"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."

"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."

"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on an annual license."

"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."

"The data traffic cost is expensive. The solution can scale up beyond my imagination, but the cost can rise up easily."

More Oracle HCM Cloud pricing and cost advice

"Zoho People Plus has a very competitive pricing model. The pricing part is tier-based, and it is eight Euros per user."
