Overall Satisfaction with Oracle HCM Cloud

Oracle Cloud HCM is being used globally as a single source HR system. There are many benefits that we have realized and our customers see in this space:
  • Move to CapEX spend.
  • Enhanced mobility.
  • World-class business process configurations.
  • Advanced UI and good process navigation.
  • Agile and flexible product capable of handling growing company requirements.
  • Better Business Process
  • Advanced Analytics
  • Enhanced mobility features
  • Better cost solution
  • Payroll
  • Benefits module
  • Training and Learning application
  • Using it for incentive compensation
  • Better and innovative approval workflows
  • Analytics
It is much superior. We were using an Oracle on-premise solution so this was an obvious choice.
Also, now that we have used it for 1 year I feel that we have nearly got even with our implementation cost.
With the changes in Lear and Recruitment, my liking for this product has greatly improved.
[Oracle HCM Cloud is well suited] for small and mid sized customers looking to modernize their HR systems.

Implementation, Adoption, and Customer Service

The rating is based upon our current level of support. The overall experience has vastly changed since we moved into product paid support.
'Also, with Oracle going with the model of quarterly patches, it makes sense to have the product company provide support to the overall application thereby eliminating the problems of bugs.

Evaluating Oracle HCM Cloud and Competitors

Yes - It replaced the on premise PeopleSoft application.
Primary reason was because we wanted to standardize our application across functions / regions.
Also, cloud is a great way to keep up with technological advancements
  • Product Features
  • Product Reputation
  • Prior Experience with the Product
  • Positive Sales Experience with the Vendor
  • Analyst Reports
Product features are the most importatnt thing as being part of IT my KPI is to ensure that my organization gets the best solution at the cheapest price.
I would have asked for more references and use cases from the product vendors.
Sometimes things seem obvious in the sales demo but are not so simple during implementation

Oracle HCM Cloud Support

ProsCons
Quick Resolution
Knowledgeable team
Kept well informed
Immediate help available
Support cares about my success
Poor followup
Problems left unsolved
Escalation required
Need to explain problems multiple times
Slow Initial Response
Yes - Yes, the cost of paying premium support pays for maintaining the application.
Having a native support also means that you can have better resolutions for your SR and support requests.

Also, there is a dedicated support network which keeps us updated with upcoming changes and enhancement on the products and other services that are available for existing users.
Yes - It is much better now. Previously, when we were using the default support the resolution times were much higher.
Also, there was no access to dev support which caused us delays,

With paid support the overall experience is much better with faster resolution times.
There was a scenario where our Pay calc was not getting finalized.
We raised an SR and oracle identified a specific issue in our pay data which was causing this issue.
This was over and above what they needed to do and was a good experience.

Using Oracle HCM Cloud

After the initial training's, it was quite intuitive to use the application.
The application is based upon best practices and the overall flows are quite logical.
The train stop approach also ensures that users understand where they are in the process cycle. Also, the number of clicks have been greatly rationalized to ensure that there is more streamlined experience.
ProsCons
Like to use
Easy to use
Well integrated
Quick to learn
Feel confident using
Unnecessarily complex
Inconsistent
  • Mobility
  • Reporting Requirements
  • Workflows
  • Adding new configurations
  • Any customization (PaaS)
  • Migrations between instances
Yes - The mobile interface is nice and is provided via their Oracle HCM cloud App.
The interface is still nascent and is evolving. Currently limited functionality is available under self service and that area needs lot of enhancements.
The newer modules like learning have better pages. I believe Oracle will greatly enhance the remaining in the upcoming releases.
