Featured Reviews

reviewer951189 - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Has many features in need of improvement, including its monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support
The solution has many areas in need of improvement. I cannot cite just one or two. These include management, monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support, by way of example. A checklist should be included and the user interface should be addressed. The solution has a function which allows one to give feedback for every employee and to do so overall. The visibility, GUI and features involved in the feedback function are not up to snuff. Employee service details are an issue.
IanCampbell - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at a consultancy with 1-10 employees
Decades of use have delivered secure, customizable control for public sector operations and finance
I have just completed three assessments: one on inventory demand planning, another on using artificial intelligence to bring supplier contracts in portable document format directly into PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft works both internally as well as with third-party products that integrate seamlessly with PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft operates both from a need-to-know-only basis as well as being able at the same time to do group purchase and realize large quantity purchase discounts. My clients have used marketplaces, and it is really industry-specific whether they use one or not, or if there is even one available. I would rate this product nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We use the solution for employee and manager services and person management and employee records."
"The solution is stable."
"I think PeopleSoft is a good tool for HR administrators; it's easy to navigate compared to the other ERPs, the management of the tool is straightforward from the employee's perspective so the employee experience is good, and PeopleSoft is intuitive so no one needs to be taught how to use the system."
"If the organization has a sufficient budget and wants to manage talent and support business objectives, then this is the answer."
"The customizations allow us to come up with a lot of complex labor rules. In the Philippines, there's a lot of different kinds of rules you need to be in compliance with. The solution offers up a lot of flexibility and customization that is perfect for our region's requirements."
"However, I definitely enjoy working with the software as I have been working with them for so long."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"There are several new features in the PeopleSoft tool set that I've found particularly valuable, such as grid control and related actions."
"If the organization has complex needs that require constant changes based on business changes and has a solid IT department, there might not be a better solution than PeopleSoft."
"Its user interface is impressive."
 

Cons

"The solution has many areas in need of improvement, including management, monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support."
"There are load also issues with OSB, and it doesn't provide logs."
"Upgrades are lengthy and costly."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"There could be more adaptability of the system."
"The solution needs to work on its mobile technology."
"The solution needs to work on its mobile technology. We're hoping in the next version we're working on implementing, 9.2, will have more of this."
"In my opinion, it needs more performance, maybe something technical related, because it's very slow for us and even small activities take a while."
"My developers want to use more HTML instead of the specialized tool, PeopleTools because, they say, it's better from a user perspective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."

"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."

What are the differences between Oracle HCM Cloud and PeopleSoft?
Although both are solutions to manage HR, their differences make each one suitable for different companies. Oracle Cloud HCM is a platform for connecting all human resource processes in your organ...
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for PeopleSoft?
The pricing is customer-specific, so I am not generally privy to what the pricing for licensing is. However, generally, I think PeopleSoft is certainly cheaper than cloud solutions.

More delivered artificial intelligence functionality in operations and finance would be helpful.
