Review summaries and opinions

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

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.4
Oracle HCM Cloud customer service is praised for responsiveness, while technical support receives mixed reviews due to occasional inefficiencies.
No sentiment score available
PeopleStrong's technical support is essential for customizations, offers good service, and requires payment for emergency or 24/7 assistance.
Oracle provides robust technical support, with regular updates every six months or quarterly.
I would rate customer service a seven because it takes a process to reach a real person, often involving chats with AutoChat first.
 

Room For Improvement

Sentiment score
5.1
Oracle HCM Cloud needs improvements in mobile, UI, integration, payroll, performance, AI, customization, user experience, and geographic localization.
Sentiment score
5.4
PeopleStrong seeks GDPR compliance, improved integrations, enhanced flexibility, and AI-driven features for better performance, analytics, and talent management.
Instead of uploading documents, a default integration with local government authorities would simplify onboarding.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Oracle HCM Cloud offers exceptional scalability, easily supporting medium to large enterprises with seamless adaptability and configuration enhancements.
Sentiment score
8.0
PeopleStrong effectively scales for large organizations, though challenges arise with geographical expansion and complex entity structures.
You can't scale HCM on Fusion Cloud as a standalone service.
 

Setup Cost

Sentiment score
3.5
Oracle HCM Cloud pricing is competitive but costly for small businesses, with discounts and negotiations impacting final costs.
No sentiment score available
PeopleStrong's annual license is economically priced per employee, rated around 3/10, deemed affordable and suitable for enterprises.
Oracle HCM Cloud pricing is a bit expensive compared to newer solutions.
The pricing is not bad, however, it is not affordable for everyone, especially in Africa.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
Oracle HCM Cloud is praised for robustness and stability, despite occasional interface challenges, receiving high reliability ratings.
Sentiment score
8.0
PeopleStrong is stable and consistent, but can be unstable in regions with poor internet, affecting integration temporarily.
While I have not seen any downtime, the system can be slow at times.
 

Valuable Features

Sentiment score
8.0
Oracle HCM Cloud offers modern UI, AI solutions, and comprehensive HR features, enhancing data accessibility and user experience.
Sentiment score
8.4
PeopleStrong excels in customization, mobile responsiveness, UI/UX, offering HR functions and training tracking but lacks API integration.
This makes operations easier, and Oracle has excelled in this area with Fusion Explorer.
The most valuable features of Oracle HCM Cloud are its ease of setup, being ready for consumption, talent management, and workforce management applications.

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.
