Oracle HCM Cloud Reviews

The primary use case for Oracle HCM Cloud is in a retail environment.

The product's most valuable feature is the centralization of data. It gives information on activities in the company and gets people to interact as well.

There could be a way to reduce clicks and make it less complicated from the users' perspective. Additionally, there needs to be familiarity mixed in with novelty. It could be collaborative as well.

The product is working perfectly in terms of stability.

We have around 25,000 Oracle HCM Cloud users.

Oracle has been extremely helpful in guiding me as a product trainer.

A third-party vendor did the initial setup. They encountered difficulty with the implementation to some extent.

The product could be more affordable.

I advise others to experiment with the platform. Most people think that using this system is complex.

It's a management system that keeps track of all the essential things. It is a great tool and has a lot of potential. I rate it a seven out of ten.

We provide solutions to customers, such as Oracle HCM Cloud.

We have one financial institution customer that we are in the process of implementing the solution. 

The solution is used for finances, procurement, and for everything HR.

The most valuable features of Oracle HCM Cloud are the easy ability to customize the solution and applications. Additionally, the solution updates the solution 

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 is not integrated well into Pakistan's industries.

Within the past year, I have utilized Oracle HCM Cloud.

The solution is reliable and stable.

The cloud version of the solution is quicker than the on-premise.

Scalability is not required, but it is scalable. However, there are plenty of modules if a company wants to purchase them.

The support could improve to provide companies with migration assistance. The response time for the support from Oracle HCM Cloud is good.

I have used other solutions, such as SAP SuccessFactors.

We have a lot of data to implement in a large banking environment making the process difficult. It can take approximately two to four months. In smaller environments the implementation.

The is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly.

I would recommend this solution to others.

This is the solution we are currently using and we would like to encourage others to implement it as well. With half of our team working from home, it is important for our HR staff to be accessible through the cloud. There is no need for them to physically come to the office as they can easily access their service apps and dashboards remotely.

I rate Oracle HCM Cloud a nine out of ten.

I use the solution for goal management, performance management, recruitment, and other core HR management processes.

I found all of the features to be valuable. Since it is an integrated solution, it brings speed and efficiency to the business process.

Each business has its own unique process for performance evaluation. We work with templates, but the templates in Oracle HCM Cloud are a bit rigid. Once we are done working on a template, we can't change it unless we create a new one.

Creating a new template is feasible. We can create a duplicate template and edit it. However, our clients consider creating new templates to make updates as a challenge.

Some of the functionalities are cast in stone. When businesses have a unique way of doing something, and we tell them that they have to do it in a certain way in Oracle, it gives rise to arguments since they want enough room to accommodate their old processes.

I have been using the solution for the past four years.

The solution is stable. Most of the instability is due to our network connectivity.

The solution is scalable. We had an engagement session with Oracle support, where they explained that they could add some patches to accommodate huge numbers of users. If the number of users increases, we can contact Oracle, and they will do some modifications for us.

Sometimes they provide the solution. Sometimes, the individuals who respond to the SRs do not have the knowledge to help us with our request. It leads to more communication back and forth and causes delays. We could tell they were trying to get their heads around our request. Other times, you get lucky and get people who understand your issues and give you a straight-up solution.

From a functional perspective, the initial setup wasn't a difficult task. However, from a technical perspective, there is a bit of integration involved. I would rate the setup difficulty a seven out of ten.

If we want to learn to implement the solution, we should acquire knowledge about both the technical and functional aspects of the solution. Some of the functionalities or tasks we need to perform are intertwined.

We may do something on the functional side, but then we might realize that we also need to do some technical work. So, it is good to know both aspects, which takes time and effort.

The deployment took us six months. A third-party team did the deployment.

The solution’s pricing is high.

I specialize in HCM. The solution is cloud-based. It gives us a heads-up about interruptions. We cannot just be functional consultants. We must know the technical aspects. From an implementer’s point of view, some businesses want the solution but don't have their processes streamlined. So it becomes a problem, and we end up spending a lot of time on the project. Before choosing a solution, it would be good to do the groundwork by testing the client’s business process and streamlining it as much as possible.

Apart from my reservations about the performance module, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We were using Oracle HCM Cloud for many tasks, such as procurement, and supply chain risk management.

The most valuable feature of Oracle HCM Cloud is its integration.

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

I have been using Oracle HCM Cloud for approximately eight years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. The solution is best suited for mid-sized to large companies.

I have previously used NetSuite and SAP Business One.

The initial setup of Oracle HCM Cloud is complex. It is complex for coding and creating. The solution is highly flexible and has many features with the configuration making it more complex than the NetSuite. The configuration setup takes time.

The price for Oracle HCM Cloud is expensive in Iran, but in other countries, such as Turkey, it can be reasonably priced. 

There are times when the deployment requirements can change and in some cases, we need to have a lot of customization and personalization. This can increase the time the project takes and the cost of the project. 

There are some projects where we need third-party software. For example, in a large Turkey and Dubai company, we use the time and labor inside Oracle, but for the others, we didn't use them. We have to create it in-house or we can buy the missing tool from another company. The integration from these third-party companies costs money.

We make a lot of effort in finding what is the best suitable solution for a company. I would recommend others to do their best and research what solution best suits their company's use case and proceed from there. 

I rate Oracle HCM Cloud a nine out of ten.

In my current company, we are using Taleo for recruitment. However, Taleo is not used as completely. It's more used by the end user. Here, we are using the solution for global HR, payroll, self-service, and absence management. We are using it as a full-fledged product.

While it is a beautiful solution in terms of design, we are facing some issues on the payroll side. When payroll processing, we are getting rising service requests and we are getting delayed responses from support. It can take 20 to 30 days to get a solution. 

I'm working on SaaS environment and we are not able to build some business condition validations like validations.

For example, if you use a business trip request feature, we are having some validations, yet we have to check the budget availability. We are capturing that budget availability yet we are not able to do the consolidation and documentation. It's not seamless. 

The application design is beautiful. The applications pages and navigation are very clear.

It is very easy to set up and implement. 

It's not very stable. We have been getting many bugs.

We're not receiving the proper support.

We're having issues with business validation features. 

I've been using the solution for almost four years. 

We're hoping there will be more stability by the end of the year. Right now, it is unstable, and there are bugs. We've dealt with them since day one. That said, many bugs have been resolved. It's getting better. Right now, I'd rate the stability at a six or seven out of ten. 

The solution is scalable and compatible in terms of expanding outward. It's not a problem. 

Technical support is not good. Even if we rate the severity and the need is high, they won't reply fast. They aren't available 24/7. We've done many escalations and they just aren't quick to respond. For example, when something is going wrong with payroll, that's something that needs to be fixed fast. And yet, they just don't move on it. 

The setup is real easy. When compared to the previous version, it's quite simple. Of course, users need to understand a little bit of mapping. That will take some time to understand. For me, it has taken more than one hour to get that complete data flow under mapping sorted out.

Since I am confident with the setup, I can jump right into production. I'm not doing development; I'm just doing setups.

Sometimes there is maintenance. For example, the customer will need some enhancements. There might need to be reporting extensions added. However, it's manageable. It's not a big issue if maintenance needs to be done.

I don't have any visibility on the pricing or licensing. 

I'm a developer and lead consultant. 

I'm currently working with the latest version of the solution. 

In comparison to other solutions, this product is very beautiful. It's a pretty good product overall. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for Oracle Taleo. We use it as part of the hiring process and to enter an employee's information. 

The solution has a user-friendly interface. It is easy to see data and transactions. The solution is easy to use. 

Its drag-and-drop reporting is great. It's simplified many things for us. 

We have found the initial setup to be easy. 

The solution is stable.

It can scale. 

Oracle releases each quarter based on enhancement requests and adds more features with applications.

Oracle needs to make some sort of support repository that is up to date. I've been dealing with some documentation that didn't mention a resolution in a 22D release. The documentation should make a note of issues and when they were resolved. It can be confusing for customers if Oracle isn't clear.

I've used the solution for around two years. 

Navigation and appearance-wise, there is a bit of instability as users can get very confused as to where things are or what to do. The applications have been completely redesigned, and it is disorienting. 

The solution is scalable. It's easy to expand. I'd rate the ability to expand seven out of ten. 

Technical support is pretty good. We are mostly satisfied with the level of assistance we get. 

Positive

The solution is straightforward and very simple. It's not overly complex. 

We did start with requirement gathering and making documentation for the client's requirements. After that, we finalized the document and started the CRP phase to make configurations. After that, we move over to production. 

It is super-easy to maintain the solution.

I don't deal with licensing and cannot speak to the exact cost.

We are an Oracle partner and an implementer. I'm an Oracle, HCM, and cloud consultant.

We're working with the latest version of the solution. 

I'd recommend the solution to other users. It's easy to use. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I use the Oracle Learning Cloud and it is a really easy solution to work with. I can take all my courses online, offline and after the solution is updated. All my progress gets tracked. Different learning paths for certain topics are provided and Oracle relates courses across certain topics. 

For my manager, it is easy to understand my progress and how I have advanced. The solution offers good performance management that can be used to facilitate growth discussions with managers. 

This solution is user friendly and can be used on a mobile phone without a computer.

Although the performance management is good, it could be improved as its functionality is quite basic. The metrics could be improved as well as the solution's ability to integrate with other solutions. 

I have been using this solution for four years.

This is a very stable solution. We have not experienced any issues. 

This is a scalable solution. 

I would rate the support for this solution an eight out of ten. They have different ways to raise tickets and a number to call but they aren't always easy to reach. 

Positive

I was not involved in the initial setup but I believe that it is easy based on my team's experience. When setting up the solution for customers, we have teams of three including a project manager, functional consultant and a technical consultant. 

Those considering using this solution should have a clear idea of exactly what they are looking for and follow good processes when it comes to setting it up. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten because it is a really good solution with small areas of improvement. 

We used Oracle HCM Cloud for core HR, such as training, career planning, workflow, documentation, and performance management. We used a local solution to cover other functionalities linked to the local legislation, so Oracle HCM Cloud, being a global solution, couldn't cover the rest of the functionalities. In Central Europe, for payroll and local attendance, local solutions need to be used.

What I like most about Oracle HCM Cloud is that I didn't see any area that needs to be dramatically improved.

I also appreciate that it has good integration with other Oracle products. The process of integrating Oracle HCM Cloud is rather explanatory.

I also found the Oracle library to be helpful.

As Oracle HCM Cloud is quite a robust solution, I like it versus other solutions. I like the people at Oracle.

Visually, Oracle HCM Cloud needs improvement. For example, the employee portal looks rather old, so it would be awesome if Oracle refreshed its design or if the portal looked more modern. Oracle HCM Cloud works, but visually, it needs improvement.

There's nothing specific I'd like added in the next release of Oracle HCM Cloud. Of course, you always have electronic signatures or various levels of electronic validation and advanced payments, but those are more for service-based solutions. Oracle HCM Cloud is also service-based, but it's different from other solutions with specialties; for example, one solution could focus on electronics, while the other could focus on advanced payment. For Oracle to include electronic validation into Oracle HCM Cloud, for example, wouldn't fit the company structure.

My experience with Oracle HCM Cloud is three to six months because I took part in its implementation. I wasn't an end-user, but I got accustomed to using Oracle HCM Cloud because I did an integration with it.

Oracle HCM Cloud is a stable product.

Oracle HCM Cloud is a scalable product.

I haven't contacted the technical support team for Oracle HCM Cloud.

The initial setup for Oracle HCM Cloud is neither complex nor easy. It's in the middle because it depends on your requirements and inclusions.

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.

I can't recall the version of Oracle HCM Cloud I implemented, but it was the version between October 2021 to June 2022.

The product was deployed on the cloud, and the local application was on-premises.

Oracle HCM Cloud requires maintenance. Every application requires maintenance, even SaaS, because you still need an administrator who can communicate with support. In Central Europe, you'll find local solutions with better maintenance and support models than what Oracle offers. Oracle is a huge company that has its policies. Oracle-accredited implementation companies in the Czech Republic need to be better.

My company is a partner of Oracle.

I'd give new or potential users of Oracle HCM Cloud the same advice I'd share on other software, HCM, HRRS, or ERP solutions. A coherent and in-depth analysis has to be made, with all the requirements well-defined. Otherwise, the customer will be eaten alive by any implementation company. After all, Oracle HCM Cloud is a global solution, and Oracle has its policies and standards based on good practices, especially in terms of implementation. If you don't define your requirements well for Oracle HCM Cloud, you'll get the standard setup from the implementer, which you may not need at all, or you may want some changes that would cost you a lot. Knowing your complete requirements and communicating those to the implementation team, even at the local level, is essential, or the whole solution would be very pricey.

My rating for Oracle HCM Cloud is eight out of ten.
