Featured Reviews

AanilaNanda - PeerSpot reviewer
Human Resources Intern at a government with 10,001+ employees
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.
Vertika Srivastava - PeerSpot reviewer
Customer Success Manager at a tech consulting company with 1-10 employees
Has required customization been difficult to implement and user experience remains a concern
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. I find Odoo being more user-friendly, and making changes there is more accessible. Being Odoo partners allows us to make changes. In Zoho People Plus, we were just on a subscription basis, so it was not possible to make any changes based on the company's requirements, which made it a little difficult. As far as security or anything else is concerned, Zoho People Plus was also good, and many companies use it. We find Odoo a little better and user-friendly compared to Zoho People Plus. For time tracking, we were using Clockify, and we were using Jira and other products. Time tracking in Odoo is much more convenient and user-friendly compared to Zoho People Plus. We decided to switch because it was not very compatible with our system. Our employees were not comfortable. It was not as user-friendly as Odoo is. We became Odoo partners, which made it a better shift from Zoho People Plus.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find Oracle HCM Cloud very useful for gathering data or information, with its best benefit being data integration."
"I rate Oracle HCM Cloud nine out of ten."
"The solution has good integration with other applications."
"I like that it is mobile responsive and you can work directly with the vendor on specific requirements that you might have."
"I am using Oracle HCM Cloud for human resources management and we have found it to be a very good fit."
"The most valuable features of Oracle HCM Cloud are the easy ability to customize the solution and applications. Additionally, the solution updates the solution"
"The core part and the talent management part are most valuable."
"I work in Saudi Arabia, the localization is most valuable as this solution has localized the payroll and they are providing the same service to HR with the core HRMS system without budgets procuring separately."
"Zoho People has valuable features like simplicity in use and ease of configuration."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its analytics part."
"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."
 

Cons

"The UI needs improvement."
"In some geographies, you might not find specific localizations. For example, here in Turkey, we can use all Oracle Cloud modules except for payroll. The Oracle payroll module isn't localized for the Turkish system. So, we need to integrate a separate, localized payroll solution with Oracle HCM."
"The user interface, as well as the interfaces between modules, should definitely be enhanced."
"From the feedback that I get, the functional side of the payroll could be improved."
"It would be very nice if we were able to roll back transactions from data that was loaded with the data loader."
"The solutions could improve by having better performance. There are times when we have experienced some delays. The reports could be quicker."
"The data uploading part and backup could be better. They are a bit complex."
"An employee needs training to apply for leave, something as simple as that. They shouldn't need training materials or user guides to navigate the system. We're moving towards empowering users, especially with end-user-facing systems. People should be self-reliant and not need to rely on manuals. Oracle HCM Cloud is very old-school in this regard."
"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

"I am not normally involved in the product's pricing since it normally involves the packages that a user chooses. Pricing differs based on a case-to-case scenario and client-to-client basis."
"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 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."
"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 high."
"The price for Oracle HCM Cloud is expensive in Iran, but in other countries, such as Turkey, it can be reasonably priced."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"Zoho People Plus has a very competitive pricing model. The pricing part is tier-based, and it is eight Euros per user."
