Oracle HCM Cloud is easier to use than Oracle ETS. Everything is included on one page, and we no longer need to do workarounds. For example, creating elements, eligibility profiles, and formulas is much easier.

General Manager - Software Solutions at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
Very comprehensive with the additional capability for a balanced scorecard
Pros and Cons
- "Offers a good balanced scorecard capability."
- "The interface could be more user friendly."
What is most valuable?
This is a very comprehensive solution, covering every aspect of the HCM profit cycle and the life cycle. It's got from hire to fire. It also has the additional capability for a balanced scorecard, which is a key component of any company evaluation. That comes as part of the balanced scorecard concept, as part of a strategy process within the HCM product portfolio. It's a huge benefit to anyone taking up the Oracle HCM solution.
What needs improvement?
I think the interfaces could be improved because when you're going into the landing page, the interfaces look a bit blunt when they could be more user-friendly. I'd like to see some additional modules around direct integration into healthcare devices. If you have a lot of wearable devices wher the information could be directly put into the system it might be able to predict the probability that someone might go on sick leave, for example. Health and wellness could be incorporated into the system and it would be good to see integration with the wearables within the product. I'd also like to see more integration with AI.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using this solution for close to four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This is a stable product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is easily achieved because it's on cloud.
How are customer service and technical support?
The technical support of Oracle is extremely good because they have a defined platform, and everything is clear. One area that could be improved is when requests are made and they move it across different time zones over the period of a day. In the morning, it might go to Asia and if the issue hasn't been solved by the end of the day there, it gets shifted to Europe which can be frustrating.
How was the initial setup?
With the correct knowledge, the setup is relatively straightforward. It's not a download and install solution like MS office so you need people who know the product. And it's not a difficult process to configure the module because the options for customizations are standardized within the solution itself. The process and procedures for getting the add-on, or the additional functionalities included in the solution are clearly defined in terms of how the customization would work within that solution. You need to have a technical, functional consultant to do the configuration, customizations or any additions that might be required.
What other advice do I have?
I rate this solution eight out of 10.

Better Agility/Flexibility In HR But Navigation Needs Improvement
What is most valuable?
Reporting.
How has it helped my organization?
Better agility/flexibility in HR organization, with more insights into the organization.
What needs improvement?
Clarity of navigation. Currently, navigation is all jumbled up. It's one way for self-service, different for manager self-service, different for an administrator. Even if the functions are different, navigation has to be consistent.
For how long have I used the solution?
Since release, around six to seven months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Very few.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
No.
How are customer service and technical support?
Bad, four out of 10. Very slow to respond to issues, requires a lot of work from the HR team just to give them all the details. For every issue you have to upload at east five to six documents, replicating the whole scenario; and then, still, it is usually painfully slow.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
PeopleSoft. The switch was due to a cloud/digital push.
How was the initial setup?
Complex. Proper documentation, training, and user materials were not available.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Pricing is competitive.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Workday, SAP SuccessFactors.
What other advice do I have?
Focus on training and materials from your implementation manager.
