Comparison Results: SAP SuccessFactors is the winner in the comparison. According to reviews, SAP SuccessFactors appears to be a more mature and powerful solution. Oracle HCM Cloud does come out on top in the ease of deployment category, however.
"Our overall evaluation of Oracle HCM Cloud as a general ledger tool is mixed. It is a comprehensive and versatile piece of software."
"We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable."
"The initial setup or implementation process of the solution is fine. The deployment process took place in two days. So, once one has the runbook and everything in place, it is not that difficult."
"We haven't had a single issue with stability, and we've been using it for more than three years."
"The solution's scalability potential is very good. We have more than 1,000 users ourselves."
"HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is its ease of use - it's interlinked, so you can drill down into information."
"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 most valuable features of the solution are the core HR, absence, payroll, and recruitment modules."
"The performance of the solution is very good."
"Easy to use and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of SAP SuccessFactors is that it is a full suite of applications to enable your employees. Additionally, it has good integration with S4 HANA. Our payroll solution is from SAP and the integration becomes much easier when using SAP SuccessFactors."
"The most valuable feature is the onboarding module, which enables candidates to fill in their details online and smoothly transitions data from the recruitment module into the SAP database."
"SAP SuccessFactors, in my opinion, is the best cloud-based HR solution tool for any size business."
"The overall functionality of the solution is very good."
"The tool has a unique talent management platform."
"It's a uniform user interface."
"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve by adding AI and more offline capabilities."
"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."
"Exposure to users on the volume or utilization of servers and memory is necessary. Currently, when users hit the threshold, the system experiences a slowdown."
"Lacks relevancy for the current generation."
"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."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based."
"There have been cases involving a lot of re-implementations and frustrations within clients where they have the workbook sessions, the workbook workshops and things like that. And I think that doesn't really go down well because the workbooks are very technical and, a lot of times, very confusing for the client."
"Language settings in the solution need to be improved."
"SAP SuccessFactors can improve the recruitment module and artificial intelligence features. More powerful analytics are needed."
"There is not much scope for enhancements, personalization, or customization with the cloud-based variant of this solution, which could be improved."
"SAP SuccessFactors is working on making beneficial changes but they are not fast enough. They can improve by making the improvements or updates quicker. Additionally, the user interface could improve, it is not something you want to return to when compared to a solution similar to Instagram."
"The Reporting/Analytics and User Interface need improvement."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"The back end for the administration and the front end is too overtly complex and it's not aligned with our operations and learning needs."
