Comparison Results: Oracle HCM Cloud comes out on top in this comparison. Compared with Workday, it is easier to deploy and it receives higher marks for its pricing and support.
"Oracle HCM has a great reporting platform, OTPI, with drag-and-drop functionality. I can design my own reports without relying on the technical team. This empowers HR users to create reports based on their needs, which is a huge advantage."
"The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback."
"We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the support for mobile devices."
"I like that it is mobile responsive and you can work directly with the vendor on specific requirements that you might have."
"It's highly stable because the system is totally managed by Oracle, Oracle provides 99.9% availability for the system uptime."
"It is a configurable, scalable solution."
"Robust and very dependable."
"Workday is easy to use. Timesheet and resource management are also easy."
"Workday is a secure product."
"This product is leaps and bounds above the competition. Part of the reason is that it is built with modern technology. It has no legacy coding in it at all."
"It is easy to use and straightforward."
"The product is useful for storing employee records."
"There is a lot of scope for customization with this solution"
"We use this solution to manage financials, payroll and recruiting."
"Workday is highly intuitive from a customer experience perspective. It was effortless for us to understand what to do even though we didn't have any related training. It was easy to use without guidance."
"There needs to be familiarity mixed in with novelty."
"Cloud learning can be improved."
"It would be very nice if we were able to roll back transactions from data that was loaded with the data loader."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"The solution could improve by having better integration between on-premise and the cloud. It can be difficult and time-consuming to migrate our applications and interfaces."
"Oracle should have different bundles to provide access to courses. Then, we would be able to increase our knowledge on how to use Oracle applications."
"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."
"The user interface, as well as the interfaces between modules, should definitely be enhanced."
"The finance module of this solution is not great and needs improvement."
"It's possible that the way things are integrated could be improved"
"I'm not sure they have added this feature yet, but there should be a cellphone version, so we do not need to do it on a laptop. I'd like to log in on a cellphone and have the same features. I'm not sure if that is already available or if it's on the roadmap, but that would be a great feature."
"Setting up reports can be a bit tricky."
"It is very unique as compared to other tools in terms of the employee master data and how it is organized. That's why sometimes the information needs to sit in two different systems because, in Workday, it is organized differently. This issue is not related to benefits. It is more or so related to how you categorize employees. I don't think this is a problem that could be solved. Workday is aware of this. It is one of those kinds of situations that you just got to live with."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"The UI, UX (user experience) is very bad. It is not very interactive."
"This solution could be improved by providing user-level access to customization capabilities. Users currently rely on more technical teams to customize reports, for example."
