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.

Newcomers benefit from automation and user-friendly integration
PeopleSoft is affordable for existing customers only, not for new customers. The popularity is declining for several reasons. Resources are moving to cloud solutions such as Workday cloud. Even though it is the same Oracle environment, professionals are transitioning due to challenges in availability, scalability, and resource allocation. When there are limited hiring opportunities for a particular technology, professionals must consider switching technologies either internally within their organization or personally. If a project ends and someone is placed on bench without new opportunities, they often need to switch to technologies with more market demand. Currently, resources are frequently moving to other ERP systems such as Workday, SAP, Mulesoft, and Salesforce, as there are numerous ERP systems in the marketplace.

Quotes from Members

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

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."
"The most valuable feature is IDE."
"I often say that PeopleSoft's greatest feature is how customizable it is."
"In general, this solution is user friendly and also performs well. There are two types of forms. One is a standardized form, which you can define things into. The other, you can customize so more repetition can be done in an even manner. That way, it can be designed for what the public or user actually wants. It's not very tough for any person, or layman to understand exactly what the screen requires one to do."
"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."
"PeopleSoft has been fairly reliable for us. We haven't had any issues with stability."
"A valuable feature is HCM."
"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it."
 

Cons

"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."
"With big companies, it takes a long time to run when it comes to the reporting part."
"I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner."
"The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved."
"It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development."
"Parsing of CVs is productive but accuracy can be improved."
"The support is medium quality through the Oracle support portal. It's neither exceptionally good nor particularly bad."
"PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration."
"The implementation of PeopleSoft is quite complex and is not as easy as other cloud products such as SuccessFactor or Workday."
"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."
 

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."
"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."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"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."
"The tool is expensive."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
