Featured Reviews

Prashant Shetty - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool to help manage global payroll that needs to improve the area of customization after its implementation
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. With ADP GlobalView Payroll, if I have to scale up the operations, one of the practical challenges I would like to highlight here is that in the post-implementation phase, if there are any new system enhancements or customization requests, it takes a lot of time to work with ADP to implement such changes. In the present time, every business has to operate in an agile manner, but I think that when it comes to the area revolving around change and control, there is a cost involved in ADP, and it comes as part of ADP's global contract. Most of the time, users may find that the prices quoted are not reasonable to justify the efforts involved from ADP's end. Most of the companies that fall under the category of Fortune 100 use ADP GlobalView Payroll, especially in the APAC region and Europe. The good thing with ADP GlobalView Payroll is that its system can be integrated with any HR system, like Workday or SAP SuccessFactors, since the integration is very seamless because many companies use global HR systems.

Saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules
The most valuable feature is the module integration, which saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules. The user interface has improved significantly. The current client redesigns work centers per subsidiary business unit, making navigation more intuitive and easier for end users. Reporting and analytics capabilities have greatly improved.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Good solution if you want simple, static systems."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"If someone wants a good payroll system with a good presence in the APAC region and Europe, then without a doubt, ADP GlobalView Payroll falls at the top of the list of best tools."
"PeopleSoft is easy to understand, where any end user that is logged in can easily navigate through the menus."
"I've worked with HR, payroll, benefits, time and labor, health and safety, and every module. I've also worked on different modules for the education, health, and financial sectors. My 25 years of experience cover different industries and implementations. I've also worked in the public sector, which is a bit different. I implemented PeopleSoft for the state of Massachusetts, covering 168 schools, colleges, and universities."
"The breadcrumb approach to navigation in PeopleSoft is good. nVision is also a good supplement."
"I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features."
"PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it."
"The most valuable feature for us is the integration between the HR Payroll and Financials modules"
"It's great for helping users deal with their supply chain."
"The customization and catering to our specific needs have helped."
 

Cons

"With big companies, it takes a long time to run when it comes to the reporting part."
"Projects tend to take longer because ADP wants to manage everything."
"The portal where employees log in to check their weekly tax statements is called ADP ESS, an area where improvements are needed."
"Regarding technical support, they often discourage using PeopleSoft and push for Oracle. Many support staff are offshore and don't understand the system well."
"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The area that could be improved is the upgrade process, it's not the easiest. Oracle stopped supporting our version. So we have to move either to the cloud or work in a non-supported situation. That was certainly a disadvantage. That's also the reason why we decided not to stay with Oracle. Now we are moving to SAP."
"If there is another release, they should look at going to mobile computing to stay competitive."
"The ease of integration needs improvement."
"The biggest disadvantage with things like PeopleSoft is that they do continuous support and fixes and upgrades. You get to choose when you want to implement that upgrade. However, in order to keep up, you have to upgrade."
"Often support just asks people to install a lot of upgrades. Sometimes they don't really give you clear details as to why you need to upgrade. They just say, "You need to upgrade this because there's a newer image, etc". They never really give you the reason underlying why you are having errors."
"I would like to see it become available again in Mexico."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe that ADP GlobalView Payroll is an expensive solution."
"If users consider the license of the solution, then it is an expensive tool."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"The product's cost depends on the number of people in your company or the number of paychecks processed. They charge based on these factors, plus a maintenance fee. I'm not sure about current pricing since Oracle took over."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"Check all options before a decision is made."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing costs of PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft is not very expensive, so I feel it is an affordable product."
