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."
"It is a configurable, scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of Oracle HCM Cloud are the easy ability to customize the solution and applications. Additionally, the solution updates the solution"
"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."
"Robust and very dependable."
"The technical support is very good."
"The product's most valuable feature is the centralization of data."
"The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback."
"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."
 

Cons

"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
"There should be more digital assistance included, like chatbots."
"Although the performance management is good, it could be improved as its functionality is quite basic."
"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 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."
"The performance and reaction time can be improved."
"The UI needs improvement."
"Oracle's technical support is generally satisfactory yet lacks flexibility and rapid response times."
"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
"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
"On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."
"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 price for Oracle HCM Cloud is expensive in Iran, but in other countries, such as Turkey, it can be reasonably priced."
"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."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
"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."
"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on an annual license."
