Easy to set up with a nice UI and is capable of expansion
Pros and Cons
- "Its drag-and-drop reporting is great."
- "Oracle needs to make some sort of support repository that is up to date."
What is our primary use case?

Its drag-and-drop reporting is great. It's simplified many things for us.
We have found the initial setup to be easy.
The solution is stable.
It can scale.
What needs improvement?
Oracle releases each quarter based on enhancement requests and adds more features with applications.
Oracle needs to make some sort of support repository that is up to date. I've been dealing with some documentation that didn't mention a resolution in a 22D release. The documentation should make a note of issues and when they were resolved. It can be confusing for customers if Oracle isn't clear.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for around two years.

This solution is user friendly and can be used on a mobile phone without a computer.

Sales manager SW CEE at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
Stable, scalable, and has good integration with other solutions; its integration process is easy
Pros and Cons
- "What I like most about Oracle HCM Cloud is that I didn't see any area that needs to be dramatically improved. I also appreciate that it has good integration with other Oracle products. The process of integrating Oracle HCM Cloud is rather explanatory. I also found the Oracle library to be helpful. As Oracle HCM Cloud is quite a robust solution, I like it versus other solutions. I like the people at Oracle."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
We used Oracle HCM Cloud for core HR, such as training, career planning, workflow, documentation, and performance management. We used a local solution to cover other functionalities linked to the local legislation, so Oracle HCM Cloud, being a global solution, couldn't cover the rest of the functionalities. In Central Europe, for payroll and local attendance, local solutions need to be used.
What is most valuable?
What I like most about Oracle HCM Cloud is that I didn't see any area that needs to be dramatically improved.
I also appreciate that it has good integration with other Oracle products. The process of integrating Oracle HCM Cloud is rather explanatory.
I also found the Oracle library to be helpful.
As Oracle HCM Cloud is quite a robust solution, I like it versus other solutions. I like the people at Oracle.
What needs improvement?
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.
There's nothing specific I'd like added in the next release of Oracle HCM Cloud. Of course, you always have electronic signatures or various levels of electronic validation and advanced payments, but those are more for service-based solutions. Oracle HCM Cloud is also service-based, but it's different from other solutions with specialties; for example, one solution could focus on electronics, while the other could focus on advanced payment. For Oracle to include electronic validation into Oracle HCM Cloud, for example, wouldn't fit the company structure.
For how long have I used the solution?
My experience with Oracle HCM Cloud is three to six months because I took part in its implementation. I wasn't an end-user, but I got accustomed to using Oracle HCM Cloud because I did an integration with it.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Oracle HCM Cloud is a stable product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Oracle HCM Cloud is a scalable product.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't contacted the technical support team for Oracle HCM Cloud.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup for Oracle HCM Cloud is neither complex nor easy. It's in the middle because it depends on your requirements and inclusions.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Oracle HCM Cloud is pricey, but price-wise, it's now more competitive than in the past year.
Here in Central Europe, people also look at the pricing, but Central Europe falls under the UAE and Abu Dhabi in terms of headquarters, management, and strategy, but those states don't care too much about the pricing.
Pricing is a significant factor in choosing a solution. In the past, Oracle HCM Cloud was compared to the SAP solution, the largest competitor and up to thirty percent higher in price. Now, Oracle HCM Cloud has a price increase of five to ten percent, which could be pricier than SAP now, but it's a more competitive product nowadays and comparable to SAP.
What other advice do I have?
I can't recall the version of Oracle HCM Cloud I implemented, but it was the version between October 2021 to June 2022.
The product was deployed on the cloud, and the local application was on-premises.
Oracle HCM Cloud requires maintenance. Every application requires maintenance, even SaaS, because you still need an administrator who can communicate with support. In Central Europe, you'll find local solutions with better maintenance and support models than what Oracle offers. Oracle is a huge company that has its policies. Oracle-accredited implementation companies in the Czech Republic need to be better.
My company is a partner of Oracle.
I'd give new or potential users of Oracle HCM Cloud the same advice I'd share on other software, HCM, HRRS, or ERP solutions. A coherent and in-depth analysis has to be made, with all the requirements well-defined. Otherwise, the customer will be eaten alive by any implementation company. After all, Oracle HCM Cloud is a global solution, and Oracle has its policies and standards based on good practices, especially in terms of implementation. If you don't define your requirements well for Oracle HCM Cloud, you'll get the standard setup from the implementer, which you may not need at all, or you may want some changes that would cost you a lot. Knowing your complete requirements and communicating those to the implementation team, even at the local level, is essential, or the whole solution would be very pricey.
My rating for Oracle HCM Cloud is eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

Integrates well, and is reliable
Pros and Cons
- "In general, functionality is fine."
- "In some cases, the price may be lower depending on what is negotiated."
What is our primary use case?
I work for a consulting company. I work with clients who have or are in the process of implementing those systems. I do not use them myself.
I do not have a reselling license. This is an independent consulting firm, and our clients occasionally ask us for advice on ERP systems.
I do not use ERP systems. I work with clients who use ERP systems. I haven't used any ERP system in the last 12 months. ERP systems are used by my customers.
What is most valuable?
In general, functionality is fine. I don't have any specific functional areas that are an issue.
I don't have any issues with the integration.
What needs improvement?
In some cases, the price may be lower depending on what is negotiated.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Oracle HCM Cloud is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Oracle HCM Cloud is scalable.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I do some work with different systems from time to time, such as SAP ERP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Oracle E-Business Suite.
I am also familiar with Workday.
I've never used any of them. I'm not an end-user. I'm aware of what they're capable of. I understand the process to implement them. I understand the types of issues that must be addressed, but I have never used an ERP system as an end-user.
What about the implementation team?
You will require the assistance of a system implementor.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon. It's difficult to say that pricing needs improvement, because it depends on what is negotiated and whether you get a good price or not.
What other advice do I have?
Oracle HCM Cloud is a part of Oracle Cloud Fusion. There are many parts such as Financials, Project Accounting, and more.
You need to have a good, clear design done upfront, and that is well understood by the business. You will need a good system implementation partner. And you must have some level of control over not making changes to standard products. Keep it as close to the standard as possible.
I would rate Oracle HCM Cloud an eight out of ten.

Good at building to client's needs with a robust roadmap and an all-around solid product
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback."
- "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."
What is most valuable?
They've really taken the best of breed from another product. With the products that they're using, like HCM and Finance, they're very solid.
The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback.
What needs improvement?
The solution is still quite young, as a cloud service.
They just need to keep enhancing, listening to the customers, and enhancing the business needs of the customers. They need to really get their student administration system out. They need to get that done so that we can purchase that and implement it.
All systems are still growing, and they're enhancing those. I can't say really a specific area of functionality, or feature is lacking. It goes back to overall just listening to the clients and the business needs and enhance from that.
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've been working with the solution for four or five years at this point. We're new to the cloud.
How are customer service and technical support?
In general, the company is very good at receiving feedback and improving on their solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution has a SaaS licensing model.
What other advice do I have?
We are a partner and have a relationship with a vendor.
As we use the cloud deployment model, we are always on the latest version of the solution. You don't have a choice. It automatically updates everything regularly.
This application is a software as a service model. Oracle hosts this. It's on their infrastructure. I'm not sure where they have their own infrastructure, however.
I would rate this solution at an eight out of ten. It's my understanding that they are still enhancing a lot of things and there is still a lot of growth ahead for the product.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
