Streamlines HR operations and reduces management through valuable self-service features
We used Oracle HCM Cloud for HRMS to access without a perpetual license. We aimed to transition employees to the cloud because Oracle planned to stop support for E Business Suite by twenty twenty-five. We wanted to test and understand how Oracle HCM Cloud would support our business needs It…

Provide performance management and HR operations but lacks AI capabilities
Using PeopleStrong, uploading modules, and downloading reports was very easy. The process was hassle-free and user-friendly. We use PeopleStrong for performance management and HR operations, such as storing data and handling documentation when a new person joins the company. For learning and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup or implementation process of the solution is fine. The deployment process took place in two days. So, once one has the runbook and everything in place, it is not that difficult."
"It is a configurable, scalable solution."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is fast reporting."
"This solution is user friendly and can be used on a mobile phone without a computer."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is essential for security needs and especially for payroll. The payroll feature is very good."
"It is simple to use and can streamline processes because it does not require further development."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based tool."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
"The mobile responsiveness is strong."
"It is priced low."
"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."
"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."
"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."
 

Cons

"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."
"HCM's analytics features could be improved."
"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."
"Cloud learning can be improved."
"There needs to be familiarity mixed in with novelty."
"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."
"Occasionally there are problems with stability."
"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."
"The global scalability and support could improve."
"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."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."
"The data traffic cost is expensive. The solution can scale up beyond my imagination, but the cost can rise up easily."
"The price for Oracle HCM Cloud is expensive in Iran, but in other countries, such as Turkey, it can be reasonably priced."
"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."
"Though I cannot comment on the solution's cost, a fixed cost is involved based on my understanding. The cost multiplies based on the number of users."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"I don't know how much it costs, but I know that everything is included. We don't pay anything extra apart from the licensing fee."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
