"We haven't had a single issue with stability, and we've been using it for more than three years."
"What I like most about Oracle HCM Cloud is that I didn't see any area that needs to be dramatically improved. I also appreciate that it has good integration with other Oracle products. The process of integrating Oracle HCM Cloud is rather explanatory. I also found the Oracle library to be helpful. As Oracle HCM Cloud is quite a robust solution, I like it versus other solutions. I like the people at Oracle."
"In general, functionality is fine."
"Oracle is a strong option for purchasing or procurement."
"Since it is an integrated solution, it brings speed and efficiency to the business process."
"What I like best about Oracle HCM Cloud is that its configuration is okay. I also like it in terms of updates. Product updates that take place from time to time improve Oracle HCM Cloud. What I also found valuable in the product is that since it's on cloud, you can work with it from any place."
"It is very user-friendly. Most of the UI is very intuitive so you don't need to follow a course to follow it up."
"In terms of ERP, it's a good product. It's convenient."
"Compared to other on-premise solutions, the first advantage of SAP SuccessFactors is that it is a SaaS-based solution."
"It is a scalable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"SuccessFactors' most valuable feature is performance management."
"Flexible with a lot of good features."
"The interface is user-friendly. It is very simple and intuitive, so it's good."
"One of the most wonderful features is the ability to customize the modules and workflows. So far, we've done a fair bit of customization and it is helping us a lot and really adds to the value we already get from SuccessFactors."
"Talent Acquisition and Learning features are best in class."
"The best features that were working well for us was the Goal Management and Performance Management. They were the most valuable to our organization."
"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."
"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."
"I was part of a program I went to where I had a discussion on the latest innovation of the Oracle HCM. I think some of the newer technology innovations, such as gamification and consumerization are areas that could be improved."
"Lacks relevancy for the current generation."
"In some geographies, you might not find specific localizations. For example, here in Turkey, we can use all Oracle Cloud modules except for payroll. The Oracle payroll module isn't localized for the Turkish system. So, we need to integrate a separate, localized payroll solution with Oracle HCM."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"The recruitment aspect is good, but it's new and it still needs some enhancements. In the future, we hope it will be similar to Taleo."
"I think there is room for improvement in user friendliness. In my experience, users are sometimes confused about how to use the solution."
"SAP SuccessFactors needs to improve the LMS and performance management."
"Visual representations, in the form of graphs and charts, can be added. This is beneficial for both management and employees. Upon accessing the system, they should generate graphical representations on their dashboard. These visuals illustrate aspects such as company-wide training progress and current company training status. The information encompasses both company-related data and personal profiles. This approach makes it convenient to grasp the company's profile along with individual information."
"We encountered challenges with the tool's integration with third-party applications and deployments."
"SAP SuccessFactors can improve the recruitment module and artificial intelligence features. More powerful analytics are needed."
"Overall, the documentation could be improved, and I think the learning management module needs to include more capabilities when it comes to matching an organization's particular learning approach."
"There is an area of improvement in integrating SuccessFactors with different platforms."
"There are some limiting aspects to this product."
