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

"Microsoft Viva Insights is integrated with Outlook and SharePoint. It helps me to reply and attend all scheduled meetings."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based tool."
"For me personally, the most valuable is the account management suite, and they're constantly developing it."
"I like the interfaces, and they are fine. I would like to see more interfaces."
"HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is its ease of use - it's interlinked, so you can drill down into information."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle HCM Cloud is the dashboards, customization, and configuration."
"The application design is beautiful."
"As Oracle HCM Cloud is quite a robust solution, I like it versus other solutions."
"It is very user-friendly, and most of the UI is very intuitive so you don't need to follow a course to use it, with one single UI regardless of your roles so you don't have to log into separate applications depending on whether you're HR or just a normal employee."
 

Cons

"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."
"From the feedback that I get, the functional side of the payroll could be improved."
"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve by adding AI and more offline capabilities."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced."
"The mobile capabilities need to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"I think they should have a larger data center in China, which would significantly increase the access speed from my current workspace."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of Oracle HCM Cloud could improve. However, everyone would like the price of a solution they are using to be less expensive."
"I don't know how much it costs, but I know that everything is included. We don't pay anything extra apart from the licensing fee."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"The data traffic cost is expensive. The solution can scale up beyond my imagination, but the cost can rise up easily."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
