Has a simple interface, is easy to use, and has good stability

It's really easy to use and has a simple interface. The networking could use improvement. One to three years. Stability is good. Scalability is just fine. We have fifty users, most of them are admin roles. Their technical support is very good. They are very helpful. The initial setup was…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Poor user experience."

"Do it."

"Technical side: The level of detail (building blocks) in configuration (setup) makes it scalable and secure on a functional level, as well as on a data level."

"It's really easy to use and has a simple interface."

"The flexibility in configuration is this product’s most valuable feature."

"The advanced scheduler helps to ensure proper staffing."

"It is very user-friendly. Most of the UI is very intuitive so you don't need to follow a course to follow it up."

"As a cloud solution, it's definitely scalable."

"The Talent Management solution is one of the best available in the market, and even other areas, like Core HR and Compensations, are highly customizable for a cloud product."

"Oracle HCM Cloud is scalable, and Oracle is spending a lot of effort in research and development to increase scalability and speed with the high demand for mobile usage, with approximately 30,000 users using this solution in my organization."

"The technical support is very good."

"Its drag-and-drop reporting is great."

"What I like best about Oracle HCM Cloud is that its configuration is okay. I also like it in terms of updates. Product updates that take place from time to time improve Oracle HCM Cloud. What I also found valuable in the product is that since it's on cloud, you can work with it from any place."

"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."

Cons

"Licenses are expensive."

"The networking could use improvement."

"Poor user experience. Web based, but requires old version of Java on the desktop which is a security nightmare."

"The setup was complex."

"Customer Service: 3/10 Technical Support: I would give technical support a rating of 3/10. A lot of the time, their technical support person did not understand the issue."

"In regards to the technical support team, sometimes they are busy and sometimes from the company point of view, you need to track someone specific instead of direct support."

"Learning Management on cloud is relatively new and has scope for improvement."

"Oracle should have different bundles to provide access to courses. Then, we would be able to increase our knowledge on how to use Oracle applications."

"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 solution's approvals hierarchy or employee hierarchy needs some improvement and more flexibility."

"We have received some unfavorable feedback regarding Oracle HCM Cloud's performance. This has led us to investigate alternative solutions. In my own experience, I have struggled with the slowness of the cloud assessment and the overwhelming complexity of the software's robust architecture. I have reservations about sharing any positive experiences I may have had with the solution."

"The GUI interface should be more user-friendly."

"The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules and we are not wholly satisfied with it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is expensive."

"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."

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

"On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."

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

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

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."

"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."
