Oracle HCM Cloud and Oracle Taleo compete in the HR management software sector. Oracle HCM Cloud seems to have the upper hand due to its comprehensive HR lifecycle management and flexibility, despite being pricier.
Features: Oracle HCM Cloud offers a comprehensive suite covering all HR aspects, with built-in analytics, mobile capabilities, and a self-service interface allowing HR consolidation. Oracle Taleo focuses on specialized recruitment features, pre-screening capabilities, and easier recruit tracking.
Room for Improvement: Oracle HCM Cloud needs to enhance mobile functionality, simplify integration and payroll, and reduce total cost of ownership. Oracle Taleo should update its user interface, enhance recruitment features, and improve data integration.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle HCM Cloud supports Public, Private, and Hybrid Cloud deployment but receives mixed service reviews. Oracle Taleo, available on Public Cloud and on-premises, is noted for quicker customer service but faces challenges in technical support.
Pricing and ROI: Oracle HCM Cloud is considered expensive but offers good value due to its integrated functionality, including upgrades. Oracle Taleo has unique pricing, like charging only for active users, appealing to those focused on recruitment.
It is time-saving in payroll processing.
The ROI is more about easing operations rather than quantifiable metrics.
Oracle provides robust technical support, with regular updates every six months or quarterly.
I have been facing an issue with Journeys, and I had raised a couple of SRs, but unfortunately, there has been no solution until now.
Oracle's technical support is generally satisfactory yet lacks flexibility and rapid response times.
We do get updates every quarter regarding our experience with the technical support and customer service team because they let us know about product feature developments.
You can't scale HCM on Fusion Cloud as a standalone service.
For larger enterprises, Oracle Taleo may not stand out due to other available tools in the market that offer more features and scalability.
While I have not seen any downtime, the system can be slow at times.
When it comes to overall stability and performance, there are prior communications about downtime on Saturdays for developments.
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.
Instead of uploading documents, a default integration with local government authorities would simplify onboarding.
Standardizing the exposure of functionalities within the application as external interfaces could enhance integration capabilities.
I cannot compare certain things or implement some automations that require a lot of manual intervention when initiating, generating, and calculating offers.
Oracle Taleo could also enhance customization options to better suit enterprise clients who typically engage in long-term contracts.
AI-assisted search can help in the sourcing platform, which would be an added advantage compared to Oracle Taleo.
I feel the pricing for Oracle HCM Cloud is market competitive; other products are in the same range.
Oracle HCM Cloud pricing is a bit expensive compared to newer solutions.
Licensing costs were also a consideration, particularly regarding contractors.
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.
Oracle HCM Cloud's workforce analytics has helped me in refining my business strategies.
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.
This feature enables seamless scheduling without the back-and-forth communication, improving efficiency in our talent acquisition process.
The advantage I see is the presence of the industrial Taleo stack, which is beneficial for large-scale companies handling a higher load.
The user support from Oracle Taleo is great for creating custom workflows.
