Featured Reviews

reviewer951189 - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Has many features in need of improvement, including its monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support
The solution has many areas in need of improvement. I cannot cite just one or two. These include management, monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support, by way of example. A checklist should be included and the user interface should be addressed. The solution has a function which allows one to give feedback for every employee and to do so overall. The visibility, GUI and features involved in the feedback function are not up to snuff. Employee service details are an issue.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the solution for employee and manager services and person management and employee records."
"The solution is stable."
"In general, functionality is fine."
"As a cloud solution, it's definitely scalable."
"Recruitment, talent management, and payroll are the most important features of talent management, especially in the Middle East, where I work. Performance management includes objective settings, performance evaluation, talent review, and succession planning. It also covers goal cascading, setting objectives, performance evaluations, and midyear reviews for performance improvement."
"The application design is beautiful."
"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."
"It is designed in such way that end users can do their jobs without knowing much technical details."
"Oracle HCM Cloud offers subscription based services to system that includes web based interface, and mobile and ipad application."
"Its drag-and-drop reporting is great."
 

Cons

"The solution has many areas in need of improvement, including management, monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support."
"Sometimes implementation documentation is a bit behind."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"In some cases, the price may be lower depending on what is negotiated."
"I would like to see more direct access for both human resources and employees without so many screens to navigate."
"The data uploading part and backup could be better. They are a bit complex."
"It is a cloud solution, so we cannot do much customization. However, if you have a past license, you can do the customization, but unfortunately, we don't have a past license. If we had that, we would have been 100% happy."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is quite expensive for small and medium-sized companies."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."
"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
"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."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
"The price of Oracle HCM Cloud could improve. However, everyone would like the price of a solution they are using to be less expensive."
