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

"Its drag-and-drop reporting is great."
"This solution is very stable."
"The core part and the talent management part are most valuable."
"I like that it is mobile responsive and you can work directly with the vendor on specific requirements that you might have."
"Oracle HCM Cloud adds the latest features on a quarterly basis to the cloud, which makes it very easy for customers to adapt to the new features."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based tool."
"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."
"As a cloud solution, it's definitely scalable."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced."
"It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based."
"I believe what could be improved is the EX portion of Oracle HCM Cloud and how it can more easily integrate with other tools."
"Oracle needs to make some sort of support repository that is up to date."
"The UI needs improvement."
"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."
"In some cases, the price may be lower depending on what is negotiated."
"Personio is not scalable as an ATS, and I struggle to work with it."
"The analytics and reporting aspect in Personio for the recruiting part was below expectations compared to some other applicant tracking systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly."
"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on an annual license."
"The solution is quite expensive for small and medium-sized companies."
"On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."
"According to the Turkish market, the pricing is a little bit expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
"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."
