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 solution's scalability potential is very good. We have more than 1,000 users ourselves."
"It is a configurable, scalable solution."
"We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable."
"The most valuable feature, in my view, is the level of exceptions or error messages that come back when something goes wrong."
"When you maintain your data in SAP, you can generate any kind of HR report with one click."
"We have managed to consolidate our payroll for all India operations on this platform."
"The integration between the different models like personnel administration, work management, payroll, and time management are the most valuable and key features."
"It simplifies everything for human capital management, and all users can do self-enrollment for leaves and those kinds of things. The employee self-service feature is quite a powerful feature for me. You can install it on your mobile phone or iPad and do your employee service activity there."
"The master data where most of the reports were run from was the most valuable. We were quite satisfied with this module."
"They have some interesting features in the learning space."
"It's very suitable for large, multi-geography companies but also very suitable for medium companies with multi-geography operations."
"The initial setup is straightforward. However, it is more complex than Oracle Taleo because it has a lot more features have complexity."
"I believe what could be improved is the EX portion of Oracle HCM Cloud and how it can more easily integrate with other tools."
"The data uploading part and backup could be better. They are a bit complex. Oracle is continuously changing it from one functionality to another. It's a bit unstable right now, and it's basically on the backend data upload part. If I have to upload, for example, data for 100 employees, it's a bit of a challenge for an end-user. It can be difficult if you're not a technical person and an end-user like me. I administer the platform, and if I get a request to upload and I'm not a technical person, then I'm just lost. I have to do some research and then complete the task. But it's evolving, and I hope it's more user-friendly in the future. In the next release, I would like a more stable mobile application. The current version isn't very stable. It takes time to open, and although they have come up with new UI pages, a few open areas need to be addressed. I would also like to see more robust and user-friendly data uploading techniques that would be helpful for end users like us. We don't have a technical background, and we just want to upload the data for our day-to-day operations."
"The GUI interface should be more user-friendly."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."
"The product needs to keep improving the integration tools and the tools to load the data - that whole mechanism - in order to allow for flexibility in the configuration."
"We have received some unfavorable feedback regarding Oracle HCM Cloud's performance. This has led us to investigate alternative solutions. In my own experience, I have struggled with the slowness of the cloud assessment and the overwhelming complexity of the software's robust architecture. I have reservations about sharing any positive experiences I may have had with the solution."
"The extensibility of the integration could be improved."
"The setup comes with a set of challenges as well."
"It is a bit tedious and manual to work with."
"Its reporting feature could have customization options."
"The product's license is very expensive."
"SAP HCM's long and tedious transactions can be improved."
"It would be very helpful for our company if a new version was released with the ability to contain all of the things that we have newly introduced in our company."
"It takes a long time to apply an update patch to the system."
