Valda Coelho - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhancing HR engagement with effective development but could benefit from AI-driven improvements
The primary feature I appreciate about the solution is the information connection, allowing us to have a full employee life cycle visibility over the platforms. It also enables the creation of interactions between employees, launching communication campaigns that raise engagement. From the HR side, the most valuable features are the Learning Management Systems (LMS) that allow providing a personalized service in terms of development, where each employee can choose and architect their development plans. The second valuable feature is the autonomy each employee has to update their personal data. In terms of talent management, it helps design development processes, backups, and clearly view the criteria for those backups being achieved.

Capable of consolidating data from all countries and providing access to any employee information across locations but poor user experience
Oracle HCM Cloud definitely has a lot to improve from a user experience perspective. The platform is huge and feature-rich, but is it truly appealing to an end user? Is it a two-click solution? Does it match current market trends in user experience? No, it has a lot of catching up to do. For example, is the screen catchy for an employee to see their details or access essential information? No. The user experience is zero. An employee needs training to apply for leave, something as simple as that. They shouldn't need training materials or user guides to navigate the system. We're moving towards empowering users, especially with end-user-facing systems. People should be self-reliant and not need to rely on manuals. Oracle HCM Cloud is very old-school in this regard. It's still stuck in the "PeopleSoft" mentality instead of focusing on a user-friendly experience for employees and managers. So, the user experience needs a major overhaul. So, to summarize, it needs to be more user-friendly and present key information on the login screen. In future releases, I would like to see employee dashboards. Oracle HCM should come up with ready-made employee dashboards, like very simple ones. Right now, an employee dashboard or a manager dashboard, but these should be readily available. You shouldn't expect a customer to go and design something they need. There are a few basic things any employee or manager in any company would want to see. One of the best things would be a very simple org chart. Now, the org chart is quite poor on Oracle. There are applications that focus only on org charts and look really good, giving a lot of details about a team and its employees. But Oracle's org chart is bad, so to be specific, they should improve it a lot.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very helpful as it allows us to optimize and consolidate all the data for talent management."
"The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"It helps to optimize some workflows and provides reporting capabilities."
"From the HR side, the most valuable features are the Learning Management Systems (LMS) that allow providing a personalized service in terms of development, where each employee can choose and architect their development plans."
"Performance appraisal might be the most valuable feature for us."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"The solution has a great payroll engine."
"HCM solution that's easy to set up and scale, with good data integration and technical support."
"Absence management, self-release, self-service, and raising help desk issues are particularly valuable."
"I would recommend Oracle HCM Cloud to others."
"The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback."
"The application design is beautiful."
"This product can greatly improve handling of human resources and efficiency."
"The most important function is definitely managing the employee and employer staff system. This module allows the company to see information about its own employees. It's crucial for our organization, along with talent management."
"In terms of ERP, it's a good product. It's convenient."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"training and performance could be improved."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"The data uploading part and backup could be better. They are a bit complex. Oracle is continuously changing it from one functionality to another. It's a bit unstable right now, and it's basically on the backend data upload part. If I have to upload, for example, data for 100 employees, it's a bit of a challenge for an end-user. It can be difficult if you're not a technical person and an end-user like me. I administer the platform, and if I get a request to upload and I'm not a technical person, then I'm just lost. I have to do some research and then complete the task. But it's evolving, and I hope it's more user-friendly in the future. In the next release, I would like a more stable mobile application. The current version isn't very stable. It takes time to open, and although they have come up with new UI pages, a few open areas need to be addressed. I would also like to see more robust and user-friendly data uploading techniques that would be helpful for end users like us. We don't have a technical background, and we just want to upload the data for our day-to-day operations."
"I rate the technical support of Oracle HCM Cloud an eight out of ten. There is some room for improvement."
"Cloud learning can be improved."
"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."
"We're not receiving the proper support."
"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."
"I would like to see improvements in the user experience, specifically reducing the number of clicks required to achieve desired outcomes. Additionally, enhancing the look and feel of the front end and allowing for a greater level of configuration would be beneficial. Its pricing should be less."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From a cost perspective, I think this is a well-balanced option."
"Meta4 requires annual maintenance that needs to be paid for."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I am not normally involved in the product's pricing since it normally involves the packages that a user chooses. Pricing differs based on a case-to-case scenario and client-to-client basis."
"It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
"The is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly."
"The price of Oracle HCM Cloud could improve. However, everyone would like the price of a solution they are using to be less expensive."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is pricey, but price-wise, it's now more competitive than in the past year. Here in Central Europe, people also look at the pricing, but Central Europe falls under the UAE and Abu Dhabi in terms of headquarters, management, and strategy, but those states don't care too much about the pricing. Pricing is a significant factor in choosing a solution. In the past, Oracle HCM Cloud was compared to the SAP solution, the largest competitor and up to thirty percent higher in price. Now, Oracle HCM Cloud has a price increase of five to ten percent, which could be pricier than SAP now, but it's a more competitive product nowadays and comparable to SAP."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
