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.

Offers strong HR features but recruiting module needs essential improvements
The analytics and reporting aspect in Personio for the recruiting part was below expectations compared to some other applicant tracking systems. It is clunky and cannot be tailored to specific needs. The reporting and analytics for the recruiting part are insufficient. The ability to filter applications based on filtering questions added to applications was missing in recruiting. Other recruiting software performs this function much better. Keyword searches within applicants' resumes in the database within recruiting were not possible. I brought this up with the Personio account manager and was told it was on the development list, but these are essential features for any recruiter. I would advise companies looking for an ATS and considering Personio to get a separate recruiting piece of software that can interface with Personio instead.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a very comprehensive solution, covering every aspect of the HCM profit cycle and the life cycle."
"Business intelligence is integrated with the product and gives real-time information about employees and processes for managers, who can have their analysis delivered in any way (dashboards, table reports, analysis, charts, etc.) with no development cost."
"The best feature of the product is the middleware where it allows you to create a project and all the required and the optional tasks come pre-configured."
"The most valuable feature is fast reporting."
"The UI has helped us decrease the cost of training our users to use different aspects of the system, as it is very modern and has aspects that the users are familiar with from other sites, like Amazon or Apple, so the tool is very simple for them."
"Since it is an integrated solution, it brings speed and efficiency to the business process."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is essential for security needs and especially for payroll. The payroll feature is very good."
"I am using Oracle HCM Cloud for human resources management and we have found it to be a very good fit."
"As an HR tool, Personio is really good; it is straightforward adding your organizational structure through it with the accounting codes so you can interface with many accounting modules and payroll modules."
"Personio provides an opportunity to set up structure with certain steps, creating a clear interviewing process, which resulted in hiring better candidates faster because having a system in place is better than having none."
 

Cons

"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."
"I would like to see more direct access for both human resources and employees without so many screens to navigate."
"The performance and reaction time can be improved."
"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve by adding AI and more offline capabilities."
"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."
"It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based."
"I rate the technical support of Oracle HCM Cloud an eight out of ten. There is some room for improvement."
"Based on my experience with the support, I would rate the technical support as really not up to the mark."
"The analytics and reporting aspect in Personio for the recruiting part was below expectations compared to some other applicant tracking systems."
"Personio is not scalable as an ATS, and I struggle to work with it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."
"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on an annual license."
"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 an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."
"I don't know how much it costs, but I know that everything is included. We don't pay anything extra apart from the licensing fee."
"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."
