Optimize talent management with modular features but needs better reporting
There are difficulties regarding the reporting part. While we have some reporting functionalities, they are not powerful or deep. For instance, the coverage report on a specific effective date provides data effective on the day of the report, which is a significant limitation. Additionally, the available APIs, both inbound and outbound, are not well-developed, preventing the creation of accurate interfaces with other systems. There is also a need to review the reporting infrastructure to build a data lake that would allow customers to access data regardless of the effective date of the information. Moreover, the silos between the different modules need to be removed. Ideally, one would want a report that provides information at the same time from performance and compensation.

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

"The solution is very helpful as it allows us to optimize and consolidate all the data for talent management."
"It allowed us to fully automate payroll/salary processing for 6000 employees, and this is now operated by only three people."
"It is the most complete and customizable solution on the market."
"Recently, support has been excellent."
"Performance appraisal might be the most valuable feature for us."
"It helps to optimize some workflows and provides reporting capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"The tool provides a lot of options."
"The synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner."
"The allocation tool is probably the most valuable feature for us in PeopleSoft."
"Customer Service: Excellent, since Oracle support is always available."
"The ability to fully customize it for our needs is huge and is by far the most valuable feature for us when it comes to HR management."
"The beauty of using the on-premises solution is having customizations according to business requirements, because business requirements are not always aligned with the out-of-the-box product."
"It’s a very robust and mature product, and perhaps it’s the first HCM product that came out onto the market."
"A valuable feature is FSCM."
"The customization and catering to our specific needs have helped."
 

Cons

"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"To put it bluntly, the e-Mind product is obsolete older technology, and has no upgrade path for the new PeopleNet product."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"Reporting (although it doesn't always work as intended)."
"training and performance could be improved."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"The UI and user experience are not great, and it's not as feature-rich as today's systems. Furthermore, our implementation does not include all the components we need, like payroll or some other functions."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."
"First-level support is poor, but second-level support has been fantastic."
"We struggle with release notes."
"Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved."
"The quality of service has gone down after Oracle took over and this can be restored, and scope for online search could be improved."
"Mobility is an area that has evolved a lot in recent years at PeopleSoft, so I think it would be an area of product improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From a cost perspective, I think this is a well-balanced option."
"Meta4 requires annual maintenance that needs to be paid for."
"The solution is priced per module."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"The tool is expensive."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
