ROI

Sentiment score
4.5
Deel streamlines HR, reducing payroll admin and onboarding time, saving on legal fees, and enabling cost-efficient global hiring.
Sentiment score
6.2
Companies using Oracle HCM Cloud experience varying ROI with benefits in efficiency, streamlined operations, and improved employee satisfaction.
We have definitely seen a positive return on investment, mainly through time savings, reduced compliance risk, and avoiding the cost of setting up local entities.
Business Operations Specialist at SSL.com
The qualitative gains are also considerable, as by giving us flexibility and agility to work with and hire talent around the world easily, without needing to create entities and without needing to take care of local laws, we can manage all of this with a single person in our company.
Co-Founder & President at B-CUBE.AI S.R.L.
The people and culture team does not have to answer questions about what was paid or when it will be paid, and employees can resolve some doubts themselves.
Operations Manager at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
It is time-saving in payroll processing.
Technology Consultant at Clarinox Technologies Kenya
The ROI is more about easing operations rather than quantifiable metrics.

Room For Improvement

Deel users seek improvements in system integrations, customer service, customization, payroll, invoice management, and onboarding processes.
Enhancements needed for UI, integration, payroll, data processing, customization, training, cost reduction, and recruitment functionalities.
We need to have the background check results within the stated timeframe since we require them for our audits and documentation as an HR department.
Business Operations Specialist at SSL.com
I struggle with reporting because we have contractors, Employer of Record employees, and global payroll employees, and I would simply love to be able to pull a pay report that includes all three employee types, which is still not possible, and that has been my biggest issue with Deel.
People Operations Manager at PetDesk
That approach would allow for more objective and data-driven competency mapping across global teams.
Manager, People Operations at Siena AI
Instead of uploading documents, a default integration with local government authorities would simplify onboarding.
Head Of Information Technology at SAISOFT
Standardizing the exposure of functionalities within the application as external interfaces could enhance integration capabilities.
Application Developer at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
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.

Oracle HCM Cloud offers competitive pricing with discounts, though it may be costly for SMEs; negotiate for optimal costs.

For pricing, we got the basic plan, which covers managing contracts and payments, and that has been acceptable for us so far regarding pricing and fees.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been very transparent.

Oracle HCM Cloud pricing is a bit expensive compared to newer solutions.

I feel the pricing for Oracle HCM Cloud is market competitive; other products are in the same range.

The pricing is not bad, however, it is not affordable for everyone, especially in Africa.
Technology Consultant at Clarinox Technologies Kenya
 

Valuable Features

Deel streamlines global hiring with automated payroll, compliance, and HR functions, enhancing efficiency and employee experience across countries.
Oracle HCM Cloud is praised for its modern UI, analytics, HR functions, mobile access, and seamless updates enhancing productivity.
Deel has positively impacted my organization by making it easier to find the best talent in the world, no matter where they may be.
Vice President at Hibou Corp.
For example, month-to-month, when you see the invoice, there is a small indication whether the amount you need to pay has gone up or gone down, and it gives you a full breakdown of why and what changed and what specific part of the cost increased.
Founder & COO at echo3d
The best features Deel offers are its core product offering that enables us to work with people in countries where we don't have an entity, which has really opened the doors to global talent for us that we wouldn't have been able to access otherwise and enabled us to do this legally and compliantly.
People Operations Lead
The most valuable features of Oracle HCM Cloud are its ease of setup, being ready for consumption, talent management, and workforce management applications.
Technology Consultant at Clarinox Technologies Kenya
This makes operations easier, and Oracle has excelled in this area with Fusion Explorer.
Head Of Information Technology at SAISOFT

Featured Reviews

Petra Valjak - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of People&Culture at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
Unified HR platform has streamlined global hiring, reduced onboarding work, and improved reviews
There are some minor things that I am looking forward to seeing improved in Deel, such as employment types. For example, I hire a lot of interns and there isn't a specific employment type for intern. There are employment types for direct employee, contractor and similar, but nothing for interns. There is a way to work around it by saying an intern is actually a direct employee and then implementing a custom field, but it would be really good if there was a general field to recognize interns as a part of the workforce. That is something that comes to mind. I think there are still some things that Deel will improve over time and then I will be happy to give it a 10 out of 10. Given the fact that it is still a fairly new HRIS system, there are minor improvements that can be made from that perspective of purely admin work, for example, correcting data in the fields once you import them when changing a salary. If I input one salary incorrectly, I need to import another line. I cannot just correct the previous field, which some of the other HRIS systems allow. This way, on one hand I have full tracking of all the logs so I am not missing if someone corrected something or did any changes, but on the other hand, it also remains visible in the logs. Even if it is a small human error, there is no way to make it very well structured and polished when I am drawing, for example, a historical report of all the salary changes. Such things are minor improvements that I believe would come over time. Once those are implemented, it would be a 10 out of 10.
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.
