PeopleStrong Reviews

We use it for our payroll system. We have use cases around the recruitment system with PeopleStrong itself. So, it is one additional service of PeopleStrong.

I like that it is simple and easy to access. Its interface is quite user-friendly.

It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature.

Moreover, PeopleStrong's mobile app and platform accessibility are good. The only thing is that it doesn't have API integration. If we want to integrate a feature within our app, okay, that part of the capability is not there. Otherwise, it works as a standalone app or a mobile app. That's fine, that's good. It has all the features.

PeopleStrong is good. The only thing is that they have complete SaaS-based solutions. 

But sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect. This does not exist right now because we have a separate portal for PeopleStrong. They have been logged in via SSO. But if we want to integrate it via API in the current people system, that feature is not available right now.

It is a stable product. We are an old customer of PeopleStrong. So, it has been stable for us. 

We have around 10,000+ employees. 

The customer service and support are good. We had some contracts to clear. Based on that, you can add emergency support – all of which you must pay for. 

So, if you need some sort of emergency support, then you have to pay. For 24/7 support, then you have to pay. 

So, based on the service you expect, it's the same with every vendor, wherever you interact. So this is standard, the support is standard.

Positive

The initial setup is easy. The interface is quite comfortable. The only point is that the API-based integration is not there.  

The pricing is reasonable. 

Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

I would recommend using it for other businesses. It is a simple, reasonable, and user-friendly tool. The good thing is that because our organization is India-based, the data center and engineering are also managed in India. So, the security front is also meeting compliance. Security, easy to use, and cost-wise reasonable – these are all good reasons.

Using PeopleStrong, uploading modules, and downloading reports was very easy. The process was hassle-free and user-friendly. We use PeopleStrong for performance management and HR operations, such as storing data and handling documentation when a new person joins the company. For learning and development, we use Cornerstone.

PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly. It should be able to create graphics and content using AI. We need a solution where learning paths can be created for everyone.

I have been using PeopleStrong for one year.

I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.

It is a bit complex to expand. 2000 users are using this solution.

I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

You will have direct contact with whom you can reach out and get your solution.

Positive

To set up a process, it's important to note that PeopleStrong is their product. The PeopleStrong LMS is developed by the PeopleStrong company. If someone wants to use PeopleStrong, they need to contact the PeopleStrong team to purchase a license for the desired duration and then use it accordingly.

It is priced low.

I rate the product’s pricing a three out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

It offers multiple options since it’s a comprehensive platform. You can detail any session and create custom reports tailored to your needs, rather than relying solely on pre-generated reports.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

It was used for core HR software on the core HR module. We also used it for performance management as well as leave and attendance.

The mobile responsiveness is strong, and during the pandemic, we could check the biometrics and focus on using PeopleStrong. Everything else is put together as well. The entire leave, expense and attendance could be done from PeopleStrong. Expense claims were also a feature that we used in PeopleStrong, and it was useful. It could be done from a mobile, but people typically wouldn't file an expense from a mobile and would use a laptop. The best thing was it was equally responsive on mobile and desktop.

They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems. The same is true for their expense and payroll, but those challenges date back to pre-2019, and there were upgrades which they later streamlined. So I'm unsure if those challenges still exist. The version was more stable towards the end of when we used it eight months ago.

Career management and succession planning could be included in the next release, but it may have been added since the last time we used it.

I used this solution eight months ago, and we have used it for three years. It was deployed on AWS.

I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

We have 50,000 plus employees using PeopleStrong. It was easy to scale, and we scaled up reasonably well. We seamlessly moved from physical systems to completely system-based access during the pandemic without any impact.

The initial setup was difficult. There was a different team implementing it, and I knew the group IT team that led it. So I have no firsthand experience with the setup. The difficulty can be rated between five and six. The deployment took around six to seven months for the beta to work fine and the modules to work. Certain modules were introduced within four months, so the core HR module came up in the initial three to four months, but the rest took longer. So the entire end-to-end implementation took around six to seven months.

It has a huge ROI if you're looking at an Indian customer. If you compare it to any global products, there is a very good ROI.

We chose PeopleStrong because we tried multiple HRMS systems before that, and none were stable or had end-to-end functionalities. PeopleStrong had those functionalities, and it was the most mobile-responsive system we had from an evaluation standpoint. It worked, and the mobile responsiveness was spot on.

I rate this solution a nine out of ten because it is strong from a cost perspective with ROI, and from a functional feature perspective, they have end-to-end features. It also integrates well and works on mobile.

Regarding advice, I would recommend it to others. However, it might be challenging to implement at first, but the product works well. It integrates well with the major ERPs, like SAP and anything that can process a REST API. It's a capable solution and will work with any large organization with 50,000 to 100,000 employees.

We use the product for recruitment purposes. It helps us with onboarding and exit management.

The software reduces the cost of investment for recruitment. It provides a good data quality for incentives. We can deliver a consistent workflow experience for our candidates.

The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities.

They could improve talent management capabilities. The sales support services could be better. From the product's perspective, it could be even more stable.

The platform's search features could be enhanced by using AI to make it more relevant. They need to improve reporting and analytics features. Additionally, they need to work on integration capabilities with other products in the ecosystem.

We have been using PeopleStrong since 2022. At present, we use the latest version.

I rate the product's stability an eight out of ten. It is a stable software. We encountered a few integration-related problems, making it unstable.

The product is scalable for single entity business. We experience issues while conglomerating it with multiple businesses or geographies.

Comparing PeopleStrong to leading products like Oracle and SuccessFactors offers cost advantages.

However, compared to smaller products, it is a holistic solution from a pricing point of view. They are working on the user interface, AI-based features, etc. They should overcome the challenges of the implementation process, which is currently under-delivered.

The initial setup has moderate complexity. It involves standardizing the process across the board, integrating it with the existing HRM system, and aligning the agreement and timelines within the team. We followed a structured software development process involving phases like requirements gathering, design, configuration, testing, and deployment. It took us about nine months to complete and required a team of eight to ten executives to work on the implementation. It isn't easy to maintain.

The product generates a return on investment within a year.

The product has reasonable pricing.

Others wanting to buy PeopleStrong should understand and validate the critical functional requirements of their businesses before signing up for the product. They need to assess its integration capacity. I recommend others to look at it from a holistic perspective where you can use all the modules integrated into one suite. If you must manage international operations, ensure no issues while connecting with different geographies.

I rate the product a seven out of ten.

I used the solution for my entire employee data needs. We have the entire ESS and MSS via PeopleStrong.

The UI and UX are fantastic. I don't need to return to the site to finish my transaction. The least number of clicks I need is two.

PeopleStrong can improve by adding a little more flexibility. 

The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level.

I have been using the solution for one and a half years.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

We have around 1,500 people using the solution.

We selected PeopleStrong as our solution of choice through the RFP process.

PeopleStrong is the same feed, in the material as HCM. As long as we know why we need the solution, and what we want to do with it so we know how to track and measure its implementation and utilization, any HCM should make sense.

We use this solution for the entire employee lifecycle management from recruitment to onboarding to retirement.

The solution is deployed on cloud.

Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system.

It's user friendly for employees and covers almost all of the HR functions.

They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat.

I have been using this solution for one year.

The stability is very good.

It's easily scalable for any number of people.

We have needed some technical support. If we require a certain customization, it means we need technical support from PeopleStrong because our IT people alone can't do that.

We evaluated a few products. We found that PeopleStrong's support system is very good. The support people are easily approachable and very helpful.

It is not very straightforward. We needed to implement it with support from IT because it requires a certain configuration.

PeopleStrong helped us with implementation. They have experts in each domain.

It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee.

I would rate this solution 7 out of 10.

It would be a 10 if they added more features like video chat and some sort of collaborative platform for employees. 

Before implementing PeopleStrong, HR and the company should have a full understanding of their roadmap for implementation as well as their HR processes.

We are looking at implementing the whole HR process, including training, employment, and the payroll system.

The training is good. You can complete it online, without coming into the office. It provides reports on how many people have taken the training.

The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks.

Better facilities for complying with the GDPR data privacy act would be helpful because this is something that is difficult for us.

It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity.

I have been working with PeopleStrong for approximately a year.

To this point, PeopleStrong has been stable. We haven't had any problems. However, stability is dependant on the connection to the internet. This product needs to be connected to the internet to work and sometimes, because of the network connectivity in the Philippines, we have instances of instability.

We have approximately 5,000 users.

I have not personally been in contact with technical support. Our IT and HR teams have been coordinating with them.

In my previous company, I used PeopleSoft for approximately three years.

I was not personally involved with the implementation. The deployment is quite hard because there are a lot of things to consider, especially with respect to accessibility.

We just implemented PeopleStrong and I will be conducting an IT audit to compare it against PeopleSoft. I am looking at the differences between the two and trying to determine the benefits of PeopleStrong.

This is a product that I would recommend. In my previous job, one of the difficult parts was having external access to processes like hiring, employment, movement, promotions, and performance evaluations. These things were only accessible internally. With PeopleStrong, you will be able to do all of those things while working at home.

In summary, this is a good product and at this time, there are no features that I have found missing. However, there is room for improvement and I have not explored all of the features and functionalities.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We are using PeopleStrong Alt for recruitment, onboarding, and exit.

PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good.

I have been using PeopleStrong Alt for approximately one year.

The global scalability and support could improve.

The installation is complex.

The vendor did the implementation of the solution.

There is an annual license required for PeopleStrong Alt.

My advice to others is to make sure you have your priorities straight. For example, are you looking for something which is more stable, scalable at the cost of a bit more user experience or vice versa? Have your priority inline before you choose a product of this type.

I rate PeopleStrong Alt a seven out of ten.
