The features that are most valuable are auto-triggers for activities, an integrated portal, and automated student status changes. There is nothing that will help with standards-based grading.
* CampusPortal is in need of an update: This is coming later in 2017. * Clock hour programs work OK in CampusVue, but they are not setup as well as credit programs * Grading is centered around letter grades. There is nothing in CampusVue that will help with standards-based grading.

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

"CampusNexus Student provides everything needed in an SIS."
"The fact that it's an all-enterprise solution is the most valuable feature to me."
"It's great for helping users deal with their supply chain."
"PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality, and some customers use it for its finance module."
"The time system is what we get the most benefit from."
"Once you get the feel of it and learn how to use it, the ease of use and performance are the most valuable features."
"One of the best on-prem ERP systems on the market with robust features."
"Having a complete enterprise solution where all the reporting is in our own centralized system is great."
"PeopleSoft is a good core system. They frequently update the solution and recently they have added some good enhancement features for higher education. We just switched to the new fluid interface and that is working very well for us. It is very good."
 

Cons

"CampusPortal is in need of an update: This is coming later in 2017."
"Regarding technical support, they often discourage using PeopleSoft and push for Oracle. Many support staff are offshore and don't understand the system well."
"There are many areas in this product that can be improved, especially in regards to the EPM side since they have different products doing that."
"The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved."
"We've had to build all our data warehouses and datamarts in order for PeopleSoft to do the detailed reporting that we need."
"My developers want to use more HTML instead of the specialized tool, PeopleTools because, they say, it's better from a user perspective."
"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."
"One of the areas that could improve is the capability of utilizing mobile for some of the self-service activities that are missing. They are running on the older platform. What is happening is people are focusing on the cloud. PeopleSoft is a good provider and should into the cloud. That could be an advantage for them. Customers would not have to go find another solution that is a completely different platform that has different functionality altogether."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"The solution is priced per module."
"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."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."

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.
