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.

Simplicity in configuration enhances performance management discussions
Zoho People has valuable features like simplicity in use and ease of configuration. The performance management feature is particularly good as it provides flexibility in managing performance cycles. It allows the measurement of various aspects like KPIs, goals, and competency skills. It also helps in plotting the nine-box grid, which is crucial for performance and talent management discussions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am using Oracle HCM Cloud for human resources management and we have found it to be a very good fit."
"The initial setup or implementation process of the solution is fine. The deployment process took place in two days. So, once one has the runbook and everything in place, it is not that difficult."
"Since it is an integrated solution, it brings speed and efficiency to the business process."
"The solution has new features like AI-embedded solutions that are very useful for helping customers gain a lot of new insights."
"In terms of ERP, it's a good product. It's convenient."
"The product's most valuable feature is the centralization of data."
"The valuable features of Oracle HCM Cloud are the frequent updates, if there are any discrepancies, we consult with our record directly and they come up with the solution for the betterment of the cloud."
"The solution's scalability potential is very good, and we have more than 1,000 users ourselves."
"We are quite satisfied with Odoo; we are able to add modules or apps whatever we require based on our company's requirements on our own."
"Zoho People has valuable features like simplicity in use and ease of configuration."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its analytics part."
 

Cons

"The performance and reaction time can be improved."
"The UI needs improvement."
"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."
"Exposure to users on the volume or utilization of servers and memory is necessary. Currently, when users hit the threshold, the system experiences a slowdown."
"The solution could improve by having better integration between on-premise and the cloud. It can be difficult and time-consuming to migrate our applications and interfaces."
"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve by adding AI and more offline capabilities."
"The user interface is not conducive to high volume data entry."
"Customer service is bad, four out of 10. Very slow to respond to issues, requires a lot of work from the HR team just to give them all the details."
"The only challenge is if you are a European business based in Asia and you want to have your data on an EU server, it is a nightmare."
"We decided to switch because it was not very compatible with our system. Our employees were not comfortable."
"There is also a need to improve the accessibility of historical employee data, making it as seamless as some other systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product could be more affordable."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"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."
"The solution is quite expensive for small and medium-sized companies."
"The solution is expensive."
"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."
"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
"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."
"Zoho People Plus has a very competitive pricing model. The pricing part is tier-based, and it is eight Euros per user."
