BS
Manager at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Good solution for finance in general but falls short on the manufacturing side
There is room for improvement when it comes to reporting and the manufacturing piece in general. I would like to see more of a complete solution with the operations end of the business, namely the quality management system and the production pieces. It's very good at project costing, cost accounting, accounting and finance in general. Where it falls short is the manufacturing side. Overall, the solution is very difficult to use and learn. The learning curve is difficult. Also, the GUI and user interface are not intuitive.

Decades of use have delivered secure, customizable control for public sector operations and finance
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

"It is very good at project costing, cost accounting, accounting and finance in general."
"The stability of the solution is fine."
"What I like is that we can have multiple web services created and multiple consumers can use them together without any interruption or downtime."
"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market."
"It's very fully featured. It has more features and more configurability than SAP."
"Because the UI is so easy to use, it makes our work processes flow more efficiently, which, of course, impacts cost and time savings."
"We find the Campus Solutions very valuable."
"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."
"I love Oracle support."
 

Cons

"Overall, the solution is very difficult to use and learn. The learning curve is difficult. Also, the GUI and user interface are not intuitive."
"I wasn't part of the team that originally implemented it, but I was involved in upgrades. I think it was extremely difficult."
"Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is one of the most expensive systems in the HCM area, so if the organization has budget limitations, then I would not recommend this system."
"It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development."
"PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration."
"I think the inventory part it should be simplified. There is a lot of shuffling through pages, which creates a lot of problems for our users."
"Mobility isn’t the greatest."
"The solution could have better processes and automation, or features that allow for a paperless environment."
"The reporting needs to be improved."

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.
