Oracle HCM Cloud Reviews

I work in Saudi Arabia, the localization is most valuable. This solution has localized the payroll which is a good thing. They are providing the same service to HR with the core HRMS system without budgets procuring separately. Performance talent management, Oracle performance management, and recruiting were different before. Previously, it was video recruiting and onboarding, now they have integrated it into a complete solution.

Cloud learning can be improved. There should be better integration with courses from other platforms. The courses should be able to be brought into the system and available for the user's software company.

In a future release, Oracle needs to provide a tool that is easily customizable. It also requires a lot of effort trying to develop in Oracle Cloud. There should be a visual builder tool like they provide for Oracle customer for visual customer services. This visual builder is a similar type of service for all applications that is available and it would be much better.

I have been using this solution for approximately six years.

The solution is stable.

Most of our clients are medium to large scale businesses.

I have found the technical support to be helpful. Most of all the support services are good.

The implementation can take up to six months. This time depends on what module is being installed. For example, if a company is implementing a finance supply chain HCM and they want to deploy all the rest of the resources at the same time it will take five months maximum.

The solution is expensive.

I rate Oracle HCM Cloud an eight out of ten.

It has many use case like HR administration, recruitment management, performance management, learning, ...

It is very user-friendly. Most of the UI is very intuitive so you don't need to follow a course to use it. Of course you have one single UI regardless of your roles, so you don't have to log into separate applications depending on whether you're HR or just a normal employee. The solution evolves quickly (4 major updates per year)

Sometimes implementation documentation is a bit behind. Some customers like to manage things themselves after the initial implementation and they find that a bit difficult.

Also -but I think that this is the case for all solutions with such a functional extent- you feel that different teams are working on the different modules, but this is normal because everybody has their own specialization.

In the next release, I would like to see a some further updates to the recruitment module. I would like to see the preboarding extended so that it sends out notifications through personal email. That would be very useful.

It's fairly stable.

it's very scalable. You can request more users to be added. You don't have to pay extra for scalability, but of course, you pay for a number of users that are using this system. If you're having a tremendous increase in the users, then, of course, you end up by paying more. (If you would have an on premise solution you might need to have your servers expanded in this case so that would cost you too).

The technical support depends. Overall, they're good. You've got some that are really, really good and you've got some that are less good. It depends on who you get and how well you describe your issue. If your issue gets to the wrong team, then, of course, then it seems like the team isn't helping but it's because you didn't describe it properly. 

The initial setup is straightforward. Some customers make it complex. Every customer thinks they're something special and some customers realize in the end that the most basic features would have been better for them than all the complex things they wanted initially. They're used to telling the developer, "We want this that way" and that's not the way it works in the cloud. This tends to make things more complicated. It is not that difficult. You do need some technical background for formulas and stuff, but it's not rocket science. Some customers make it more difficult than it should be.

The time it takes to deploy depends on how many modules and special cases you want. Typically things differ from country to country, different sites have different rules behind it. The time it takes to deploy all depends on how complicated you make it, how many countries you want to do, and how many modules you want to implement.

My advice would be: Keep it simple. Make sure that your customer is aware of the processes in the solution and show them those before asking them what they want.

Make sure that the customer understands what there already is so they don't start freewheeling. 

I would rate it a nine out of ten.

• Employee and manager self-service
• Online performance review
• Talent management capability
• Mobile capability

• The ability to update your information online from any device is invaluable
• Performing performance reviews online
• Removing the need to use paper
• Giving the data to produce the analytics

These weren't possible before we had this system.

Time Management solution. The native mobile application TAP is in great need of improvement. Apparently, a new version is coming in R12, so we look forward to seeing this.

I have been using this for four years.

In the early releases of the solution, we definitely experienced stability issues. But since R9, the stability has improved considerably. The mobile app TAP is still quite unstable and needs lots of improvement.

We have not encountered any scalability issues.

I would give technical support rating of 3.5/5.

In the beginning, it was poor. Over the last two years, support has improved greatly.

It still needs improvement. Often, it takes a long time for support to respond. They sometimes move issues between countries and shifts. Mostly, the support is good, though.

We had a paper-based system.

We implemented the solution for other customers, so it was straightforward. But it's not something that could be set up without an implementation partner.

Buy the product at Oracle year-end because you get bigger discounts.

We are closely linked to Oracle, so we chose Oracle.

Use the right implementation partner and ADOPT rather than ADAPT. Take the solution as it is delivered and don’t try to adapt it to your needs.

Our primary use case is for employee self-service, leave of absence, and when they leave.

The most valuable feature for me is fast reporting. If the data has been put correctly within the system, uploaded, or transferred, then it will be able to give us the correct information as we report. The one thing that I have noticed is whatever you put in the request, it is fast to get you the information.

I would like to make sure that the screens that we are working on, do not  require us to have so many steps and layers of screens and that we could go straight to the point. I am referring to both human resources and employees. 

I have been using Oracle HCM Cloud for the past year.

The system is stable. Sometimes we get a breakdown message but that can be due to a lack of electricity and generator issues and not necessarily a fault in the solution itself.

We currently have over one hundred individuals using the program.

I would rate Oracle HCM Cloud an eight on a scale of one to ten.

We have roughly 4,000 customers using Oracle HCM Cloud.

There are a lot of features. I cannot say which is the most valuable. All of them complete each other.

There should be more digital assistance included, like chatbots.

The manager should have more control over direct and indirect reports. In short, the user experience and the user-interface need to be enhanced — especially for management.

I have been using Oracle HCM Cloud for four years.

This solution is very stable. I would give the stability a rating of 90%.

It's in the cloud, so, scalability-wise, you cannot control it; however, I can say that it's very flexible.

The technical support is very good.

Before we started using Oracle HCM Cloud, we used an in-house, customized solution.

I set it up myself. The initial setup is not complex, but it's not simple either, it's somewhere in between. 

On average, it's not a cheap solution.

Make sure that the person who implements it really knows the product.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight. I would give it a higher rating if they improved the UI and user experience, and reduced the price.

We're primarily using the solution for expansion purposes.

The solution's most valuable features are all the human resources aspects and access management, as well as the talent review. The solution's talent management is very, very good.

The dashboard is easy to use and the interface is very flexible.

The features available in EBS should be available on the cloud as well. When these features are not available on the cloud, it's hard to convince customers to migrate. 

The solution needs to allow for more integrations and customizations.

The stability of the product is very good. Sometimes, however, it depends on the network and bandwidth, because it is a cloud-based solution.

We haven't had to contact technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's cloud-based, which makes it easy. We don't have to do anything on hardware; we simply buy the license and start configuring.

Our licensing is renewed on a yearly basis.

We use the cloud deployment model. All Oracle HCM models are only available on the cloud.

Oracle has opened up their solution to allow for anyone to make enhancement requests. Oracle will analyze these requests, and, if it's feasible, they may work to implement the request in new builds.

I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

I mainly use HCM Cloud to manage the timesheet to access our payroll and see current roles.

HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is its ease of use - it's interlinked, so you can drill down into information.

HCM's analytics features could be improved.

I've been using Oracle HCM Cloud for nine years.

HCM Cloud is pretty stable, and we get clear communication when updates are going to cause outages.

HCM Cloud is scalable.

I previously used SAP.

I would give HCM Cloud a rating of nine out of ten.

All nine product modules have been implemented.

All the features are good. It is primarily focused on recruitment core, HR management, and performance goals.

The price is high, and other products in the market are about 30% less expensive. They should have stronger goals and performance integration in the next release.

We have four years of hands-on experience with Oracle HCM Cloud.

Occasionally there are problems with stability because it's new. We have issues when we implement and run time.

It is a scalable product, and it does not require much maintenance. We have a team of three that manages the solution.

I rate the technical support a six out of ten. They do not have continuity on a ticket, and different people can manage the same request.

The initial setup is fairly straightforward. I rate the setup a ten out of ten.

It can cost over a million dollars to set up Oracle HCM Cloud on a large project.

I rate this solution a three out of ten.
