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

"I think that it's stable. I don't believe that there are any issues."

"The application design is beautiful."

"This solution is user friendly and can be used on a mobile phone without a computer."

"Recruitment, talent management, and payroll are the most important features of talent management, especially in the Middle East, where I work. Performance management includes objective settings, performance evaluation, talent review, and succession planning. It also covers goal cascading, setting objectives, performance evaluations, and midyear reviews for performance improvement."

"It is a configurable, scalable solution."

"Its drag-and-drop reporting is great."

"This solution has localized the payroll which is a good thing."

"All the features are good."

More Oracle HCM Cloud pros

"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."

"The mobile responsiveness is strong."

"It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature."

"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."

"The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks."

"It is priced low."

"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."

"The UI and UX are fantastic."

Cons

"HCM's analytics features could be improved."

"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."

"I was part of a program I went to where I had a discussion on the latest innovation of the Oracle HCM. I think some of the newer technology innovations, such as gamification and consumerization are areas that could be improved."

"I rate the technical support of Oracle HCM Cloud an eight out of ten. There is some room for improvement."

"I think they should have a larger data center in China, which would significantly increase the access speed from my current workspace."

"The compensation module needs further automation."

"Occasionally there are problems with stability."

"It is a cloud solution, so we cannot do much customization. However, if you have a past license, you can do the customization, but unfortunately, we don't have a past license. If we had that, we would have been 100% happy."

More Oracle HCM Cloud cons

"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."

"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."

"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."

"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."

"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."

"The global scalability and support could improve."

"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."

"They could improve talent management capabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is high."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"The is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly."

"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."

"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."

"Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."

"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."

"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."

More Oracle HCM Cloud pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The product has reasonable pricing."

"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
