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.

Simple, easy to access and interface is quite user-friendly.
PeopleStrong is good. The only thing is that they have complete SaaS-based solutions. But sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect. This does not exist right now because we have a separate portal for PeopleStrong. They have been logged in via SSO. But if we want to integrate it via API in the current people system, that feature is not available right now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Job postings and links to job boards are very helpful for talent acquisition."
"In terms of ERP, it's a good product. It's convenient."
"We haven't had a single issue with stability, and we've been using it for more than three years."
"The most valuable features in Oracle HCM Cloud are the employee and manager self-services."
"The solution has good integration with other applications."
"Oracle HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Oracle HCM Cloud are the easy ability to customize the solution and applications. Additionally, the solution updates the solution"
"We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable."
"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."
"It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature."
"The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
"The mobile responsiveness is strong."
"It is priced low."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
 

Cons

"It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based."
"I would like to see improvements in the user experience, specifically reducing the number of clicks required to achieve desired outcomes. Additionally, enhancing the look and feel of the front end and allowing for a greater level of configuration would be beneficial. Its pricing should be less."
"Occasionally there are problems with stability."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
"The global scalability and support could improve."
"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."
"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"The price of Oracle HCM Cloud could improve. However, everyone would like the price of a solution they are using to be less expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
"The data traffic cost is expensive. The solution can scale up beyond my imagination, but the cost can rise up easily."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
"The is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly."
"On average, it's not a cheap solution."
"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
"The pricing is reasonable."
