Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 3, 2024

Oracle HCM Cloud and Ramco HCM compete in the human capital management sector. Oracle HCM Cloud has the upper hand due to its comprehensive features, BI tools, and regular updates that enhance its offerings.

Features: Oracle HCM Cloud offers account management, payroll, and consolidation of HR functions. It includes real-time analytics and social capabilities, with BI tools for data visualization. Ramco HCM provides user-friendly innovations like Mail It and Thumb It, ensuring seamless third-party integration and robust payroll configuration, focusing on automation and flexibility.

Capable of consolidating data from all countries and providing access to any employee information across locations but poor user experience

Oracle HCM Cloud definitely has a lot to improve from a user experience perspective. The platform is huge and feature-rich, but is it truly appealing to an end user? Is it a two-click solution? Does it match current market trends in user experience? No, it has a lot of catching up to do. For example, is the screen catchy for an employee to see their details or access essential information? No. The user experience is zero. An employee needs training to apply for leave, something as simple as that. They shouldn't need training materials or user guides to navigate the system. We're moving towards empowering users, especially with end-user-facing systems. People should be self-reliant and not need to rely on manuals. Oracle HCM Cloud is very old-school in this regard. It's still stuck in the "PeopleSoft" mentality instead of focusing on a user-friendly experience for employees and managers. So, the user experience needs a major overhaul. So, to summarize, it needs to be more user-friendly and present key information on the login screen. In future releases, I would like to see employee dashboards. Oracle HCM should come up with ready-made employee dashboards, like very simple ones. Right now, an employee dashboard or a manager dashboard, but these should be readily available. You shouldn't expect a customer to go and design something they need. There are a few basic things any employee or manager in any company would want to see. One of the best things would be a very simple org chart. Now, the org chart is quite poor on Oracle. There are applications that focus only on org charts and look really good, giving a lot of details about a team and its employees. But Oracle's org chart is bad, so to be specific, they should improve it a lot.

It's so easy to use that a customer can easily understand the process with zero knowledge of the system

Ramco is user-friendly. The UA is excellent and so easy to use that a customer can easily understand the process with zero knowledge of the system. We can easily walk a new user through the user guide. For each ESS MSS, I can log in to the ESS access. And documentation is available. Ramco doesn't charge much when customers request custom KPI calculations and other custom features. Workday and SAP impose a high charge. Ramco's bots are excellent, whereas Workday doesn't have an automated system and is only now developing a mobile app.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are the core HR, absence, payroll, and recruitment modules."

"It is a configurable, scalable solution."

"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."

"I think that it's stable. I don't believe that there are any issues."

"The solution's scalability potential is very good. We have more than 1,000 users ourselves."

"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."

"Absence management, self-release, self-service, and raising help desk issues are particularly valuable."

"This solution has localized the payroll which is a good thing."

More Oracle HCM Cloud pros

"Payroll processing is very easy. SQL rules can be attached to any pay elements."

"In general, the solution is very flexible and can be configured in multiple ways."

"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution."

"It is a good product, and it is suitable for different client requirements. It has customization options and flexibility. You can customize a report or configure the workflow based on your requirements. Everything is there in the product, and you can customize it as per your requirement. Our clients found the automation of the payroll, leave attendance, and onboarding modules the most valuable. The Time and Attendance module is fully integrated with this solution and supports multiple data entry modes, such as barcode, biometric device, fingerprints, and face reading. Its core HR module includes features like movement, expense management, exit, and separation. The compensation and benefits module includes features like welfare, retirement, and superannuation. It also has analytical tools. You can create a real-time report based on your requirements. You can also publish that report in different formats, such as Excel, PDF, HTML, etc. It has a chatbot feature, which is using machine learning and natural language. You can ask questions about your leave balance, attendance, or things like that, and you will get an immediate reply from the chatbot. It also supports approval through email."

"Ramco HCM is a stable system that doesn't have downtime or fluctuation issues. It can also take large volumes and scale up very fast."

"The performance management system is really good."

"Ramco is user-friendly. The UA is excellent and so easy to use that a customer can easily understand the process with zero knowledge of the system. We can easily walk a new user through the user guide. For each ESS MSS, I can log in to the ESS access. and documentation is available."

"Ramco HCM stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements."

Cons

"Legal local legislation integration could improve."

"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve by adding AI and more offline capabilities."

"The interface could be more user friendly."

"Lacks relevancy for the current generation."

"It would be very nice if we were able to roll back transactions from data that was loaded with the data loader."

"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."

"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."

"The solution's approvals hierarchy or employee hierarchy needs some improvement and more flexibility."

More Oracle HCM Cloud cons

"The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically."

"One area for improvement in Ramco HCM is its UI, which could be more intuitive. Another area for improvement in the system is that it can be challenging to make some modular-based changes to it."

"Ramco could be a bit faster and offer more use cases. A prime aim is to get analytics and this is lacking in Ramco. This lack of reporting is one of the reasons we are moving away from using Ramco."

"The mobile app for this solution could be improved as it lacks many features."

"The mobile app and web page user experience could be more user friendly."

"The talent management and performance appraisal modules could use some improvement."

"They can improve the configuration time because it takes more time than other products to configure the system. It could be because they are managing this single product for all countries, but it would be good if they improve the implementation time because we need to implement the solutions within a timeline. They should provide some kind of auto-configuration so that the system can be configured and implemented within a certain timeline. Implementors should have a provision to configure the system in a short time. There should also be an option to move the setup or configuration from staging to production to save time. These types of automation should be there."

"The product itself sometimes feels inconsistent because it comes with bugs."

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 product could be more affordable."

"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."

"On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."

"The solution’s pricing is high."

"Oracle HCM Cloud is pricey, but price-wise, it's now more competitive than in the past year. Here in Central Europe, people also look at the pricing, but Central Europe falls under the UAE and Abu Dhabi in terms of headquarters, management, and strategy, but those states don't care too much about the pricing. Pricing is a significant factor in choosing a solution. In the past, Oracle HCM Cloud was compared to the SAP solution, the largest competitor and up to thirty percent higher in price. Now, Oracle HCM Cloud has a price increase of five to ten percent, which could be pricier than SAP now, but it's a more competitive product nowadays and comparable to SAP."

"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on an annual license."

"The data traffic cost is expensive. The solution can scale up beyond my imagination, but the cost can rise up easily."

More Oracle HCM Cloud pricing and cost advice

"I am not aware of the price because I was working in the implementation team, but pricing is generally based on the requirement, modules, headcount, and country."

"This solution is priced in the middle compared to other solutions on the market."

"Their customized solution is pretty expensive but much cheaper than its competitors."
