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.
"We haven't had a single issue with stability, and we've been using it for more than three years."
"In terms of ERP, it's a good product. It's convenient."
"The core part and the talent management part are most valuable."
"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."
"The most important function is definitely managing the employee and employer staff system. This module allows the company to see information about its own employees. It's crucial for our organization, along with talent management."
"All the features are good."
"It is a configurable, scalable solution."
"I like that it's easy to use and flexible."
"It's a fully consolidated system. All the transactions and configuration are co-located in one fully in-memory system, so there is no need to go to different data sources (multiple DBs) to pull data; it’s all in one place."
"Workday is a secure product."
"The software is easy to learn and use. When compared to SAP HR and SAP HCM, the tool is easy to access and understand. We have a hierarchy and structural connectivity in Workday. There is a certification for the solution and when we do it, we become the certified partners of the company"
"Workday is easy to use. Timesheet and resource management are also easy."
"The payroll and benefits engine is the most valuable Workday solution in my opinion. It is also easy to access."
"We like the fact that this solution is very user-friendly, with a straightforward user interface."
"It's intuitive, a very usable tool and it's easy to find the data you're looking for."
"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."
"I think they should have a larger data center in China, which would significantly increase the access speed from my current workspace."
"I would like to see more direct access for both human resources and employees without so many screens to navigate."
"Visually, Oracle HCM Cloud needs improvement. For example, the employee portal looks rather old, so it would be awesome if Oracle refreshed its design or if the portal looked more modern. Oracle HCM Cloud works, but visually, it needs improvement."
"We're not receiving the proper support."
"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 interface could be more user friendly."
"Oracle HCM Cloud could improve by adding AI and more offline capabilities."
"I would really like to see a more robust timekeeping solution in Workday. Currently, most organizations are using Kronos for timekeeping and Workday for HR data. They then integrate Workday with Dimensions to manage time-related activities and payroll processing."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"The navigation of Workday is good but could be better."
"One potential feature that could be added is the ability to streamline business processes through quick tips and guided tours. This would allow for a smoother and more guided experience for colleagues as they navigate through different processes and steps. It would be similar to a guidance system or a step-by-step tutorial that could be added after the business process to guide users through it."
"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."
"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."
"It has missing functionalities. Specific countries, like Germany, didn't have the option to do payroll. Now we need to look for another product for HR."
"The finance module of this solution is not great and needs improvement."
