Optimize talent management with modular features but needs better reporting
There are difficulties regarding the reporting part. While we have some reporting functionalities, they are not powerful or deep. For instance, the coverage report on a specific effective date provides data effective on the day of the report, which is a significant limitation. Additionally, the available APIs, both inbound and outbound, are not well-developed, preventing the creation of accurate interfaces with other systems. There is also a need to review the reporting infrastructure to build a data lake that would allow customers to access data regardless of the effective date of the information. Moreover, the silos between the different modules need to be removed. Ideally, one would want a report that provides information at the same time from performance and compensation.

Provides unified access to multiple HR functions and reduces navigation effort
I am generally satisfied with the talent management capabilities in Oracle HCM Cloud, but as I mentioned, there are certain pages that really lag sometimes and there are a lot of bugs in talent management. Before, when it had a responsive UI, it was fine, but after it switched to Redwood, I feel there are bugs, and the functionality stated in the documents is not accurate. It takes some time to get that feature, and we need to raise product SR or ask in the community how it works. It's not easily understandable, especially in the talent management area. One potential area of improvement for Oracle HCM Cloud is that it lags. It takes time to reflect the pages, and the loading time now requires us to wait for the page to load. Earlier, we used to click and see the page immediately. However, now we need to wait for it to get loaded, which can be frustrating when working in a fast mode.

"The is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly."
"The solution is expensive."
"I haven't personally dealt with the cost details, but based on client feedback, Oracle HCM Cloud is considered expensive due to additional support costs on top of licensing fees."
"Though I cannot comment on the solution's cost, a fixed cost is involved based on my understanding. The cost multiplies based on the number of users."
"I don't know how much it costs, but I know that everything is included. We don't pay anything extra apart from the licensing fee."
"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."
"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
