Hitesh Kunchakuri - PeerSpot reviewer
A reasonably stable and scalable tool to manage human resources, payroll, and expenses of a business
There are multiple options in the product that are improving quarterly by considering the user feedback Oracle receives from its multiple clients. I am not exactly sure about the improvements made in the product since I have not been working with the solution for the past four to six months. The area where employees' personal and contact information is called the person management section in the HR module of Oracle Fusion Service, has shortcomings where improvements are required. Sometimes, there are some issues with the areas around national identifiers in the product, so our company has to add multiple national identifiers. Though a person from the USA works in some other country, and that person has every valid document of the residing country, the product sometimes gives some trouble to access the information. The product's option to upload payroll data doesn't work seamlessly. It would be great if there was an option to do internal calculations in the product since sometimes, in our company, we have to calculate all the fields manually in Excel and then upload them in the application.

Case management feature is valuable but the pricing is expensive
I would like to suggest the solution but it really depends on your specific requirements, your business use cases and future plans. There is a significant investment involved in this solution and therefore it is very crucial to reevaluate your future necessity including automation potential and modernization plans. I would suggest that you select any kind of solution and explore alternatives of similar functionalities at a lower cost. This might help you to achieve more with less. In my experience, I would rate it between seven to eight because it offers robust capabilities. But please be aware that other BPM tools are emerging with similar features at a lower cost. Pega CRM is perceived as bulk care compared to order tools, as many of its capabilities are potentially underutilized. I would rate it 7 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to learn."
"It supports various APIs and connectors, enabling seamless communication with other systems, including both Oracle products and third-party applications."
"Oracle offers a wide range of applications, each capable of delivering significant value to our business."
"The product's most valuable feature is an efficient fusion of finance and HR modules."
"Stable and scalable with good technical support."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that a company can maintain all of its HR data without any issues."
"Everything is managed by Oracle, so they have security in place."
"It offers a seamless experience with quick deployment—eliminating prolonged implementation and installation processes."
"The case management feature is really valuable."

"The solution is very easy to use."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"We can effortlessly manage the data within it, and it offers ease of use and high flexibility to present the data across various vendors."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pull information about the customer on-the-fly so they feel the interaction is more personal."
"Pega offers a clear parent-child case relationship that's easily created and maintained. Dependencies can be configured, where reaching a specific stage in a parent case automatically triggers a child task in a child case, while the parent case remains on hold until a certain condition is met before moving forward. This configuration allows multiple users to work on cases in parallel. Many of these settings are readily available within Pega case settings. Overall, Pega's case management is unparalleled compared to other options."
"Great flexibility and its locking mechanism enable multiple users to work on the same case seamlessly."
 

Cons

"Oracle Service Cloud could improve the integration for older platforms."
"Lacks the ability to deploy custom code for customization."
"The vendor must provide a user-friendly mobile application."
"Delivering the solution to clients can be quite complex and requires highly trained technicians with expertise."
"The product's option to upload payroll data doesn't work seamlessly."
"The dependency on the dollar makes these products more costly during disruptions in currency parity, especially in countries like Pakistan."
"Oracle counts users for licensing purposes, regardless of their roles or usage patterns. This process could be better."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"The UI should be improved."
"The solution has room for improvement around decisional and real-time data analysis."
"Price is always a concern for many organizations. They often think Pega is expensive, and sometimes they don't fully understand the pricing model."
"There has been a common acknowledgment among customers that this solution is an expensive tool and they often opt for cheaper tools like Comodo"
"For many of the clients, they have a separate system or separate layer of UI and a separate layer of the business rules engine, which Pega has taken care of in the recent releases."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive."
"The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications."
"The UI is lagging and needs to be improved."
