Abdul-Rauf - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager Payroll Services & Operations at Meshsol Technologies
Simplifies payroll processing and reduces the need for extensive marketing efforts while providing scalability, compliance, and excellent stability
I believe there is room for enhancement in the scope of services. We encountered challenges at times in clearly defining it, particularly because the firewall domain is extensive and demands localization for this service. Consequently, there is occasional confusion regarding whether a service falls under the standard category or is considered an add-on. I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension.

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

"The ability to have one reporting for all countries is valuable."
"The product allows you to create and manage shared services centrally even in small countries."
"The product is good, user-friendly, and effective."
"The advantage was that ADP Streamline was inherently designed to serve as a marketing engine for the company."
"I like the reporting feature as it allows me to generate reports independently without relying on a payroll consultant."
"The most valuable feature was that everything was in one system."
"They are very strong in terms of having a central regional system, where a regional person can see and monitor the calendar for each different country and know what stage they are in, if the process has been finalized and approved, and if the process has gone back to the bank, all monitored regionally."
"HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is its ease of use - it's interlinked, so you can drill down into information."
"Its drag-and-drop reporting is great."
"Job postings and links to job boards are very helpful for talent acquisition."
"In my opinion, one of the most useful features in Oracle HCM Cloud is that we currently have so many things on the same screen—we don't need to click so many times to get the answers; on the same screen, we get a lot of information, which is really helpful."
"The integration capabilities of Oracle HCM Cloud are valuable, particularly its support for managing global HR operations, including absence management, talent management, employee recruitment, and performance evaluations."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle HCM Cloud is the dashboards, customization, and configuration."
"It has simplified the management of users and roles into a single UI and is a great advance for implementers and system administrators alike."
"Offers a good balanced scorecard capability."
 

Cons

"We had to scrap plans to integrate Brazil because it was not doable."
"Having more clear guidance on design and training would be beneficial."
"They could improve the service relationship manager (SRM), because they have an SRM which is not familiar with Simple."
"The pricing is high as compared with other products in the market. For a small service that is out of scope, it has a huge service charge."
"The UI could be improved to be a bit more modern or trendy because it looks old-fashioned compared to other systems."
"The product is not quite up to our expectations."
"The reporting tool could be improved as it currently is just a data dump and much manipulation is required."
"I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension."
"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."
"I was part of a program I went to where I had a discussion on the latest innovation of the Oracle HCM. I think some of the newer technology innovations, such as gamification and consumerization are areas that could be improved."
"The tool should allow more customization for specific requirements. Some processes could be streamlined, and certain features in specific modules must be added."
"One of the challenges that we've discovered is that for some things like report modifications, whenever Oracle provides a new release, they will overlay certain customizations that you have, and then it becomes a real hassle to re-customize for our needs."
"Our ROI is okay but it's not in line with what we would like to see or have going forward and that's the challenge. If I want to get a good ROI, I have to invest in improvements."
"The interfaces could be improved because when you're going into the landing page, the interfaces look a bit blunt when they could be more user-friendly."
"The implementation was complex. We needed a third-party Oracle partner to help us to set up the solution."
"Based on my experience with the support, I would rate the technical support as really not up to the mark."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The amount we pay is not low, and it is not high. It is average."
"Our company had a standardized pricing model based on the number of employees."
"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."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"Though I cannot comment on the solution's cost, a fixed cost is involved based on my understanding. The cost multiplies based on the number of users."
"The product could be more affordable."
"The price of Oracle HCM Cloud could improve. However, everyone would like the price of a solution they are using to be less expensive."
"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."
"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."
