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 features in Oracle HCM Cloud are the employee and manager self-services."
"Oracle HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the core HR, absence, payroll, and recruitment modules."
"I like that it is mobile responsive and you can work directly with the vendor on specific requirements that you might have."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is easier to use than Oracle ETS. Everything is included on one page, and we no longer need to do workarounds. For example, creating elements, eligibility profiles, and formulas is much easier."
"The core part and the talent management part are most valuable."
"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."
"Oracle is a strong option for purchasing or procurement."
 

Cons

"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
"The recruitment aspect is good, but it's new and it still needs some enhancements. In the future, we hope it will be similar to Taleo."
"The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules."
"I think they should have a larger data center in China, which would significantly increase the access speed from my current workspace."
"The customization of the solution presents many challenges."
"The data uploading part and backup could be better. They are a bit complex. Oracle is continuously changing it from one functionality to another. It's a bit unstable right now, and it's basically on the backend data upload part. If I have to upload, for example, data for 100 employees, it's a bit of a challenge for an end-user. It can be difficult if you're not a technical person and an end-user like me. I administer the platform, and if I get a request to upload and I'm not a technical person, then I'm just lost. I have to do some research and then complete the task. But it's evolving, and I hope it's more user-friendly in the future. In the next release, I would like a more stable mobile application. The current version isn't very stable. It takes time to open, and although they have come up with new UI pages, a few open areas need to be addressed. I would also like to see more robust and user-friendly data uploading techniques that would be helpful for end users like us. We don't have a technical background, and we just want to upload the data for our day-to-day operations."
"The tool should allow more customization for specific requirements. Some processes could be streamlined, and certain features in specific modules must be added."
"From the feedback that I get, the functional side of the payroll could be improved."
"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve in its integration with access control devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is a subscription to use this solution, and there can be additional fees."
"According to the Turkish market, the pricing is a little bit expensive."
"The is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."
"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."
