What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is reliable and stable.

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and support?

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

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used other solutions, such as SAP SuccessFactors.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Pros and Cons
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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. 

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

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. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

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.

Integrates well, and is reliable
Pros and Cons
  • "In general, functionality is fine."
  • "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.

Good at building to client's needs with a robust roadmap and an all-around solid product
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback."
  • "The product needs to keep improving the integration tools and the tools to load the data - that whole mechanism - in order to allow for flexibility in the configuration."

What is most valuable?

They've really taken the best of breed from another product. With the products that they're using, like HCM and Finance, they're very solid. 

The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback. 

What needs improvement?

The solution is still quite young, as a cloud service.

They just need to keep enhancing, listening to the customers, and enhancing the business needs of the customers. They need to really get their student administration system out. They need to get that done so that we can purchase that and implement it.

All systems are still growing, and they're enhancing those. I can't say really a specific area of functionality, or feature is lacking. It goes back to overall just listening to the clients and the business needs and enhance from that.

The product needs to keep improving the integration tools and the tools to load the data - that whole mechanism - in order to allow for flexibility in the configuration.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been working with the solution for four or five years at this point. We're new to the cloud.

How are customer service and technical support?

In general, the company is very good at receiving feedback and improving on their solution.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution has a SaaS licensing model.

What other advice do I have?

We are a partner and have a relationship with a vendor.

As we use the cloud deployment model, we are always on the latest version of the solution. You don't have a choice. It automatically updates everything regularly.

This application is a software as a service model. Oracle hosts this. It's on their infrastructure. I'm not sure where they have their own infrastructure, however.  

I would rate this solution at an eight out of ten. It's my understanding that they are still enhancing a lot of things and there is still a lot of growth ahead for the product.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

I have completed many projects in human capital and human resources using Oracle HCM Cloud. This is across multiple countries and industries and for areas including workforce deployment, absence management, business intelligence reports, and human capital management.

Oracle HCM is a stable product.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Prior to HCM Cloud, I worked with the Oracle E-Business Suite. I have not worked with products from other vendors.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward and user-friendly. The length of time required for deployment depends on the modules that are being implemented. Implementing the servers will take approximately four months.

Our in-house team implements Oracle HCM for our clients. We have five people in the company who work with Oracle.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price. The pricing is very good.

What other advice do I have?

This is a good product and I recommend implementing it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

  • "I think that it's stable. I don't believe that there are any issues."
  • "From the feedback that I get, the functional side of the payroll could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

Simplifies the management of users and roles into a single UI

Oracle Cloud Applications Release 12 included many new areas of functionality.  One in particular has had a major impact (positive) on those of us who implemented the product for our customers. This feature is called the  "Security Console".

Since the earliest releases of Oracle Cloud, the security has been managed by the Fusion Middleware products Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) and Oracle Authorization Policy Manager (APM).  Whilst extremely powerful tools for managing user accounts and role based access, the tools required a level of knowledge beyond standard application configuration.  They were also displayed through a separate UI to the main applications and configuration of security rules involved using multiple screens and UIs.

Leading up to Release 12, Oracle has done a lot of work to transition onto a tool called the "Security Console".  This tool is embedded in the application and is intended as a "one-stop shop" for security configuration. By Release 12, this transition is virtually complete.

Now, the Security Console allows us to see the holistic view of all aspects of functional and data security using a visual tool. We can focus on parts of the security configuration and drill down towards detailed privileges or up towards users. The Security Console includes functionality to copy roles and create custom versions, to add/remove functional data privileges, and to view detailed analytics about roles and role usage.

It has simplified the management of users and roles into a single UI and is a great advance for implementers and system administrators alike.

UPDATE (January 2018)

Now that Release 13 (17D) is available, we are seeing a move towards a completely unified and simplified UI.   This will be based on a concept of 'Mobile First' in which the UI design is first constructed for mobile and then other devices (such as PCs) inherit the same style of UI.   We think this is going to make for a great user experience.
