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.

The self-service helps increase employee loyalty
The reporting could use some improvement. It doesn't shorten the data that it displays to the employee. At the moment you have to scroll through all of the results in order to find what you are looking for. Another improvement that should be implemented in the next release is the appraisal. For the appraisal model, we have to go to another solution because the one included is not supporting us in our needs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The core part and the talent management part are most valuable."
"Their technical support is okay; I don't have any problems with the Oracle support part, and they are of great help."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is scalable, and Oracle is spending a lot of effort in research and development to increase scalability and speed with the high demand for mobile usage, with approximately 30,000 users using this solution in my organization."
"The newer Redwood team is more client-focused and this is very valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle HCM Cloud is its integration."
"HCM solution that's easy to set up and scale, with good data integration and technical support."
"As Oracle HCM Cloud is quite a robust solution, I like it versus other solutions."
"It's highly stable because the system is totally managed by Oracle, Oracle provides 99.9% availability for the system uptime."
"This solution increases the employees' loyalty to the organization since everything regarding their salary, health, insurance, etc. is there, and the employees can also check to see what activity is done on their files."
 

Cons

"I think it could use more features, perhaps artificial intelligence, since that's becoming more prominent in the world, and it's not yet implemented in HCM."
"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 would like to see more flexibility in integration interfaces for different functions."
"There needs to be familiarity mixed in with novelty."
"It is a cloud solution, so we cannot do much customization. However, if you have a past license, you can do the customization, but unfortunately, we don't have a past license. If we had that, we would have been 100% happy."
"Cloud learning can be improved."
"The GUI interface should be more user-friendly."
"The performance and reaction time can be improved."
"The reporting could use some improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
"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 cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
"There is a subscription to use this solution, and there can be additional fees."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price for Oracle HCM Cloud is expensive in Iran, but in other countries, such as Turkey, it can be reasonably priced."
