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 performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"The tool provides a lot of options."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"The solution is very helpful as it allows us to optimize and consolidate all the data for talent management."
"The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"The solution has a great payroll engine."
"Performance appraisal might be the most valuable feature for us."
"Job data is a valuable feature."
"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."
"The recruiting is most valuable. It saves time in having easy and fast applicants tracking as well as candidates' contact plus pipeline management."
"PeopleSoft allows you to schedule upgrades and inform users beforehand. This gives your IT team time to manage the implementation and minimize disruption."
"Its user interface is impressive."
"A valuable feature is HCM."
"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 is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality. Some customers use it for its finance module."
 

Cons

"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"training and performance could be improved."
"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"In future releases, it would be useful to see reporting lines of all the team members in our business to understand who reports to whom."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"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."
"Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved."
"The Work Center feature in PeopleSoft is a step in the right direction in consolidating someone's role-based interaction with the system. This enhanced functionality streamlines workflows and improves efficiency."
"Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework."
"The solution could have better processes and automation, or features that allow for a paperless environment."
"The support is medium quality through the Oracle support portal. It's neither exceptionally good nor particularly bad."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Meta4 requires annual maintenance that needs to be paid for."
"From a cost perspective, I think this is a well-balanced option."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"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."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
