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."
"We haven't had a single issue with stability, and we've been using it for more than three years."
"The most valuable feature is fast reporting."
"HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is its ease of use - it's interlinked, so you can drill down into information."
"In terms of ERP, it's a good product. It's convenient."
"The solution's most valuable features are all the human resources aspects and access management, as well as the talent review. The solution's talent management is very, very good."
"I like that it is mobile responsive and you can work directly with the vendor on specific requirements that you might have."
"It's highly stable because the system is totally managed by Oracle, Oracle provides 99.9% availability for the system uptime."
"The initial setup or implementation process of the solution is fine. The deployment process took place in two days. So, once one has the runbook and everything in place, it is not that difficult."
 

Cons

"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
"Exposure to users on the volume or utilization of servers and memory is necessary. Currently, when users hit the threshold, the system experiences a slowdown."
"The absence management can use some improvement. Due to all the flexible working, the part with work schedules could be a little bit more flexible."
"Occasionally there are problems with stability."
"Oracle should have different bundles to provide access to courses. Then, we would be able to increase our knowledge on how to use Oracle applications."
"In the next release, I would like to see a new recruitments module. I would like to see the preboarding so that it sends out integrations through personal email. That would be very useful."
"What's not working that well at the moment is the information flow between the different HR modules. This can be improved by Oracle."
"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 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
"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 of Oracle HCM Cloud could improve. However, everyone would like the price of a solution they are using to be less expensive."
"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"There is a subscription to use this solution, and there can be additional fees."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly."
