885,728 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have found Oracle HCM Cloud very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is definitely scalable. We started with a specific entity and now we have moved all four thousand in the group onto it. You do not have to start over again because it provides a global route, which you can reuse in your implementation.
How are customer service and support?
You do get regular access to resources from Oracle. You have a customer portal where you can exchange with other customers and with technical people. We have regular engagements with the CSM. We have access to resources on their website and there are webinars all the time. It is just a matter of how you organize internally to make time for it and stay up to date. You can subscribe to learning courses and receive certification. You are able to maintain that certification.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were using an on-premises solution as they moved to the cloud so did we.
How was the initial setup?
I would not say it was either straightforward or complex. It was a change and like all changes, people need time to adjust. When you have been using specific software for ten years and you change it is not in human behavior to always jump and welcome change. I would say that overall, we had a slow but gradual welcome from the employees. It is a journey. You always continue to grow and develop with the new releases. During this pandemic, so many things have changed and employees are constantly looking for experiences that come closer to what you get on a retail store app.
What about the implementation team?
The way Oracle article works is that they would partner with implementation partners, so we would naturally go in that direction. It was a mix in the beginning. We definitely hired implementation partners and intuition partners. We work side by side with them so that we could, ourselves, build skills internally. Four years later, we are definitely more competent in many areas and at the same time, we still do consult. We have implementation partners on very specific projects where it is required.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend taking the time to really discover the product that is being offered. There are a lot of products and features available. Take that time to really understand how they all bundled together before you decide. In addition, the sequence in which it is recommended to implement the different modules is important. I would rate Oracle HCM Cloud a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

Partner at a non-tech company with 51-200 employees
Integrates well, and is reliable
Pros and Cons
- "In general, functionality is fine."
- "Oracle HCM Cloud is a stable solution."
- "In some cases, the price may be lower depending on what is negotiated."
- "In some cases, the price may be lower depending on what is negotiated."
What is our primary use case?
I work for a consulting company. I work with clients who have or are in the process of implementing those systems. I do not use them myself.
I do not have a reselling license. This is an independent consulting firm, and our clients occasionally ask us for advice on ERP systems.
I do not use ERP systems. I work with clients who use ERP systems. I haven't used any ERP system in the last 12 months. ERP systems are used by my customers.
What is most valuable?
In general, functionality is fine. I don't have any specific functional areas that are an issue.
I don't have any issues with the integration.
What needs improvement?
In some cases, the price may be lower depending on what is negotiated.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Oracle HCM Cloud is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Oracle HCM Cloud is scalable.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I do some work with different systems from time to time, such as SAP ERP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Oracle E-Business Suite.
I am also familiar with Workday.
I've never used any of them. I'm not an end-user. I'm aware of what they're capable of. I understand the process to implement them. I understand the types of issues that must be addressed, but I have never used an ERP system as an end-user.
What about the implementation team?
You will require the assistance of a system implementor.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon. It's difficult to say that pricing needs improvement, because it depends on what is negotiated and whether you get a good price or not.
What other advice do I have?
Oracle HCM Cloud is a part of Oracle Cloud Fusion. There are many parts such as Financials, Project Accounting, and more.
You need to have a good, clear design done upfront, and that is well understood by the business. You will need a good system implementation partner. And you must have some level of control over not making changes to standard products. Keep it as close to the standard as possible.
I would rate Oracle HCM Cloud an eight out of ten.

IT Manager at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Has much room for improvement in all the modules
Pros and Cons
- "We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable."
- "We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable."
- "The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules."
- "The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules and we are not wholly satisfied with it."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for people management. We also use it for employee and manager self-service, as an HR module and as a tool for measuring goals and performance. We use the learn module and talent management. We also use the rewards, composition module.
What needs improvement?
The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules and we are not wholly satisfied with it. The goal in performance, compensation, learn module, core HR and employee and manager self-service should all be addressed.
The initial setup was complex.
I would not define the solution as being stable, but as being adjusted. When it comes to the issue of stability, we find the solution to be fading out and must adjust it to the application.
I rate the technical support as a four out of ten.
The product features and functions and the GUI (graphical user interface) should all be fundamentally improved. There are many features that are absent from the solution. The data is not synchronized and this is evident when an employee transfers from one location to another.
The visibility of data is not synchronized in the goals and performance module, which translates into a lack of visibility when it comes to the details. By way of example, I cannot see my performance rating or the details from the previous year or quarter in my position as line manager.
I am forced to go with and open multiple screens and windows.
The learn module lacks flexibility for gauging the accuracy of the completed learning or the assignment details. It has many limitations.
There is much to be improved when it comes to employee and manager self-service.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Oracle HCM Cloud for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would not define the solution as being stable, but as being adjusted. When it comes to the issue of stability, we find the solution to be fading out and must adjust it to the application.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable.
How are customer service and support?
I rate the technical support as a four out of ten.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was complex.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation was handled solely by a record team, with the implementation partner being the record office.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team. As there is a team that is responsible for this, I cannot specify any one individual to whom this question should be addressed.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Oracle HCM Cloud as a three out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Account Manager at Qualogy
The HCM Core (incl. Self Service and Absence management) is very complete, user friendly , scalable and stable.
Pros and Cons
- "The core part and the talent management part are most valuable."
- "Their technical support is okay; I don't have any problems with the Oracle support part, and they are of great help."
- "The absence management can use some improvement. Due to all the flexible working, the part with work schedules could be a little bit more flexible."
- "The absence management can use some improvement. Due to all the flexible working, the part with work schedules could be a little bit more flexible."
What is our primary use case?
I'm helping customers with using the product. We are a reseller and implementation partner, and we also support customers with the maintenance of the product. It is being used for core HR absence management and goal and talent management. We are currently also exploring the integration with a payroll system.
One of our customers is using version 21C, and two other customers are using version 21D. It is absolutely cloud-based.
What is most valuable?
Talent management is good to find top-performers and make improvement plans for and with other workers
What needs improvement?
The absence management can use some improvement. Due to all the flexible working, the part with work schedules could be a little bit more flexible.
We were demonstrating the reporting tool, and there was one competitor that had a solution that was not yet included in Oracle. Its reporting tool is fine. We had to do a presentation, and there was some other company doing a presentation of a specific reporting tool, and they were able to show a window in a window. That feature was very impressive, and that's not yet possible within Oracle. It might get added in the future. It is nice when you have a kind of dashboard with a graph, and you can easily compare it with another graph.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with and using the product since it has been on the market.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Its stability is okay. That's not a problem.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Its scalability is also not a problem. If your business is growing and you get more employees, you just pay a little bit more contribution. The subscription will change. That's not a problem.
One of the clients has only 300 workers using the system, and the other one has something like 18,000 or 19,000 workers using the system. They do have plans to increase the usage.
How are customer service and support?
Their technical support is okay. I don't have any problems with the Oracle support part. They are of great help.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
They switched from another product to Oracle. A client has a combination of an HR and payroll product, and they are currently considering moving to Oracle HR for the core application and then integrating with the payroll provider.
How was the initial setup?
I was involved with one of them, and it was quite straightforward. It was not that complex. Another one was done with another partner company and Oracle consulting, and that was a little bit more complex due to many countries and localizations that had to be used, especially as per all the local regulations for absence management, entitlements for all the employees, and stuff like that.
The environment was available within a few days. That was not a problem. The entire implementation was something about three to four months.
In terms of maintenance, for the smallest one, it was one worker doing it part-time. For the other one, it was a little bit more complex because they are in many countries. So, they have a kind of a global team, and they have local people working on it. The third client has something like three people for the payroll interface and maintenance of the system.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
What other advice do I have?
I would advise others to try to stay with the best practice business flows as much as possible. Try the standard product as much as possible before considering to make small changes that are required by one or two people. One of my customers had a requirement of making customizations to the forms, such as removing fields, but after a year or so, they suddenly realized that those fields could be very useful. They had to be enabled again. So, it's better to stay with the standard product and provide correct instructions for the users.
I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.
