We performed a comparison between Oracle HCM Cloud and SAP HCM based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: PeerSpot users feel Oracle HCM cloud is the slightly better option. Oracle offers very intuitive dashboards, is easy to configure and customize, and is very fast. It is a cloud solution, so it can scale super easily and can be used securely anywhere at any time. Oracle updates the solution regularly with new robust features, making it very competitive in the marketplace. Many users feel SAP HCM can be a bit bulky and slow, and there can also be a steep learning curve to getting the solution up to speed.

"The technical support is very good."
"Robust and very dependable."
"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."
"I like that it is mobile responsive and you can work directly with the vendor on specific requirements that you might have."
"The most valuable features in Oracle HCM Cloud are the employee and manager self-services."

"The user interface is the solution's most valuable feature. It makes it easy for us to use."

"Although the performance management is good, it could be improved as its functionality is quite basic."

"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."
"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."
"In some cases, the price may be lower depending on what is negotiated."
"The implementation of the solution can be a bit difficult. They should make it easier. If it could be as simple as the SuccessFactors implementation that would be ideal."

"It needs a lot of end user training as it is not intuitive at all."
