Oracle HCM Cloud Reviews

The UI has helped us decrease the cost of training our users to use different aspects of the system. It’s very modern and has aspects that the users are familiar with from other sites, like Amazon or Apple, so the tool is very simple for them.

I personally tried implementing this HR functionality in another Oracle product called E-Business Suite, but it didn’t have a good adoption because of the user experience. So, we were early adopters on this and we’ve moved forward with different versions.

Integration. We still have Oracle E-Business Suite in other business areas, so integration of HCM Cloud into it would be an improvement.

Also, they should be working towards making the back end simpler for IT.

I've used it for almost three years.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

We haven't scaled it since it was implemented.

7/10.

7 to 8/10.

We were using another solution from Oracle, and switched because of the more modern architecture and better user experience.

It's very straightforward, very simple. Coming from another Oracle tool, they’ve done a great job simplifying the setup and the steps for performing the setup. It was very simple because it’s cloud-based.

We did it internally. We have a team of experts.

I think it’s pretty straightforward. I would advise others to make sure that they have a plan in place and that they’re prepared before they sign the contracts. Since it’s cloud, once you sign the contract the clock will start ticking and you’ll start playing. Getting ready, preparing for the project, and working with the Oracle Sales team on the contract is very important to save some money.

We didn’t compare with other products. We’re an Oracle shop.

Have a knowledgeable partner who knows your HR processes. Don’t select a partner just because of their technical skills with the product or knowledge of the product.

The payroll module.

Its integrated modules allow for more seamless business processes.

The user interface is not conducive to high volume data entry.

I've been using it for 16 years.

The biggest issue with the latest release is specifically with implementing the payroll module. It has had some issues with local taxes, and it didn’t calculate taxes at all for Pennsylvania or Ohio.

None, as it’s pretty stable. Being hosted by Oracle, the uptime is pretty good.

No issues encountered.

8/10. As an implementer at one of their premier partners, and knowing the people I know at Oracle, I get pretty good customer service. If we need to escalate an issue we can typically go straight to someone in development.

6/10. They sometimes have difficulty accurately troubleshooting issues.

No, I’ve always worked with Oracle.

It’s complex. That’s what keeps me employed – there’s a whole industry of consultants who are implementing Oracle. It is complex to configure.

I am the implementation partner, so I do the implementations.

Here’s the one thing – don’t let Oracle tell you to implement something just because they threw it into the purchase to sweeten the deal. All too often, I see customers where, during the negotiations for the licensing, Oracle will throw in such and such module – like Oracle time and labor – and the customer feels obligated to implement it, when they don’t really need it as maybe they already have a good in-house solution.

Make sure that your systems integrator-partner knows the product

For me personally, the most valuable is the account management suite. They're constantly developing it.

Oracle moved the solution to the cloud from on-site. This is more cost-effective for us as a subscription service rather than as a licence-based solution.

The mobile capabilities need to be improved. It would be good for our workforce to be able to access the information from mobile devices and respond to requests. The product is still in development, but the mobile capabilities are still better than their eBusiness suite, and we are happy with it for now.

We're still finding some issues, and third-party apps that need using with our systems. There's still a lot of development to be done, but they are constantly adding new features and modules. Currently, if Oracle doesn't have a solution, we can find a vendor who does.

I've used it for about three years.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered yet.

We're scaling up on the cloud, and it's getting there.

They're fairly quick with their responses, 8/10. Every time we need a modification done, we need to speak to them.

They're on top of things, 8/10 as there's always room for improvement.

We previously used several different Oracle solutions, mainly converged systems. We wanted to have everything in one system, and are currently planning on importing our accounting into it.

It was complex because we have several systems that needed integrating into the cloud system. With the API we use, this was done and it works well. There was also a lot of process change, because instead of tailoring the system to fit the process, we had to tailor the processes to the system.

Most of the development was controlled by Oracle. The implementation itself though was done in-house with help here and there from a consultant.

Work the best price you can, and tailor the product for your company to get the best price.

We didn't as we already had experience with Oracle, and wanted to move to their subscription service.

Now there's a couple of other companies have it, as well as some consulting companies that do, so get advice from them.

Oracle HCM Cloud is easier to use than Oracle ETS. Everything is included on one page, and we no longer need to do workarounds. For example, creating elements, eligibility profiles, and formulas is much easier.

Oracle should have different bundles to provide access to courses. Then, we would be able to increase our knowledge of how to use Oracle applications.

I've been using this solution for two years.

It is a stable solution.

On a scale from one to ten, with one being bad and ten being the best, I would rate technical support at seven.

Neutral

I would advise you to use Oracle HCM Cloud as it is a user-friendly solution. On a scale from one to ten, I would give an overall rating of seven to this solution.

I work with Oracle HCM Cloud for HR operations. It supports global HR for most countries and handles everything—hiring employees, managing absences, payroll, performance management, goal management, learning, and compensation.

Recruitment, talent management, and payroll are the most important features of talent management, especially in the Middle East, where I work. Performance management includes objective settings, performance evaluation, talent review, and succession planning. It also covers goal cascading, setting objectives, performance evaluations, and midyear reviews for performance improvement.

The tool should allow more customization for specific requirements. Some processes could be streamlined, and certain features in specific modules must be added.

I have been working for eight years. 

The difficulty of implementation depends on the customer's requirements. Middle Eastern customers can be challenged as they often want customized solutions. I'd say implementation is neither very easy nor very difficult.

I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.
