Overall Satisfaction with Oracle HCM Cloud
We implemented Oracle Cloud products as of December 31, 2018. We implemented HCM, ERP, and EPM. We are a global company and are using the various modules for all of our employees throughout the world. The initial problem we were trying to solve was a replacement of our Finance system as we were using a product that was old, out of date, and no longer supported. As we started to research modern ERP systems, it became clear that we could also replace our budgeting systems, and our payroll system. So the approach quickly changed to multi pillar. As a result of the go live of Oracle, we were able to sunset around 20 different systems that we were using to solve these business problems.
- Payroll is easy to use and works well. Workflows have automated many processes.
- HCM is fully integrated - Core HR, onboarding, absence management, time and labor, payroll, learning, and hierarchy. This same data is shared across ERP and EPM.
- New digital assistants will make it very easy for our employees to get quick answers 24/7 to their problems.
- Mobile enabled pages make it easy to access all the functions of Oracle Cloud anywhere in the world (I logged in while on vacation in Spain).
- Delivered Oracle reports don't have enough parameters to limit data that is returned. For example, for our payroll, the Payroll Costing report for one pay period returns too many rows for Excel.
- OTBI is both easy to use and hard to use. If you don't know the exact field name, you cannot report on it.
- Workflows are overly complicated to create
- Payroll is not a part of HR in our company. The delivered roles and functions are making it difficult for us to get our jobs done - we are having to give inappropriate HR roles to payroll, and right now, HR cannot see ANY payroll data (even though roles are split between user roles and data roles - we cannot get this to work).
- Of all things, direct deposit maintenance is overly complicated. Easy to create an initial account - very hard to update it (this is true for both users and payroll).
- Workday Human Capital Management, ADP Workforce Now, ADP ezLaborManager, ADP SmartCompliance, Lawson (Intentia), BlackLine, ADP Enterprise eTIME, Concur Travel and Expense and Certify
Great improvement on most packages. Oracle Expenses is not as advanced as Concur, and our users miss that package.
