Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 4, 2024

Oracle Taleo and Ramco HCM are competing products in the human capital management sector. Ramco HCM seems to have the upper hand with its extensive HR suite, flexibility, and mobile capabilities, compared to Oracle Taleo's robust recruiting module but slower performance.

Features: Oracle Taleo offers a robust recruiting module, ease of use, and extensive configuration capabilities. It integrates modules such as goal management and onboarding, with regular updates enhancing functionality. Ramco HCM provides a comprehensive suite covering recruitment, payroll, and performance management. Unique features like Mail It and Bot It streamline HR processes, while the mobile app capabilities enhance versatility.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Taleo users report slow response times, performance issues, and the need for improved reporting capabilities.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle Taleo offers on-premises and public cloud deployment choices, with generally well-regarded support services, though technical support is mixed. Ramco HCM provides a hybrid deployment model, but its customer service sometimes lags in response times and effectiveness compared to Oracle's.

Supports recruitment workflows effectively but requires better AI search and mobile capabilities

Oracle Taleo lacks AI right now when everyone is transitioning into AI. It is very limited with a single word search. A chatbot could be added to Oracle Taleo as most of the current existing tools have. Career site redirection could be more advanced with the user interface.AI-assisted search can help in the sourcing platform, which would be an added advantage compared to Oracle Taleo. The filters are good, but when trying to use a Boolean search or customize search options, it only takes a limited selection of keywords. AI could help in more advanced search capability, which might be a drawback for Oracle Taleo. Additionally, creating campaigns and bulk messaging is lacking.Regarding the mobile-friendly candidate experience, there are better options from other tools. You are limited to the approval part. Difficulties arise when wanting access to applications or dashboards connected to Oracle Taleo or viewing the transition on mobile.When it comes to stability and performance, there are prior communications about downtimes on Saturdays, but there are some issues during weekdays which are faced occasionally. The scalability aspect is not quite scalable.

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.

"The Talent Acquisition and Headhunting features are good."

"It is easy to use. Requisition management and pre-screening are the two most valuable features."

"The stability of the solution is good."

"Oracle Taleo's integration capabilities are good."

"The solution's most valuable features are the OCR, single source of truth, and simplicity of the workflows."

More Oracle Taleo pros

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

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

"The performance management system is really good."

"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."

Cons

"When it comes to the scalability aspect, I do not find it scalable."

"Oracle Taleo felt a bit outdated, and we didn't use it for every step of the candidate process. We mainly used it to track job IDs, create job requisitions, and add candidates when making an offer. It wasn't very user-friendly for moving candidates through different stages of the recruitment lifecycle."

"It would be beneficial if Oracle Taleo included AI-based CV screening, rather than just keyword matches."

"The solution should be more intuitive and user-friendly when navigating the different pages within Oracle."

"It would be ideal if we could integrate the solution with Olympia. It would be helpful if we could add another support desk for an IT person. It would be great if the product was more interdisciplinary and could include IT."

"The bulk recruitment feature does not work well."

"Lacks some systems that we need."

"For larger enterprises, Oracle Taleo may not stand out due to other available tools in the market that offer more features and scalability."

More Oracle Taleo cons

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Taleo is an expensive solution."

"Whether you pay annually or on some other payment schedule depends on the license model you choose. Typically, clients pay a yearly subscription."

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

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

"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."
