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."
"For example, any time you need to search information for any employee, you do not need to navigate through different screens and menus."
"This solution has the potential of making life easier, so it is just a question of adaptation to it."
"If the organization has complex needs that require constant changes based on business changes and has a solid IT department, there might not be a better solution than PeopleSoft."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"Customer Service: Excellent, since Oracle support is always available."
"The synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner."
"I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."
 

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."
"The API integration could be better."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"I wasn't part of the team that originally implemented it, but I was involved in upgrades. I think it was extremely difficult."
"Mobility isn’t the greatest."
"We needed to do a lot of integration with third-party applications in order to get the functionality that we needed. The API integration could be better."
"An area for improvement would be PeopleSoft's global payroll capabilities, which could be easier to use."
"The solution could improve by offering PeopleSoft site licenses. Currently, Oracle is pushing for everyone to transition to the cloud, but clients are discontent with this approach. Offering new PeopleSoft site licenses would be the most beneficial for our clients."
"There are a couple of areas for improvement, including better overall performance as well as an even quicker update process so that we have as minimal downtime as possible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"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 licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"The solution is priced per module."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."

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.
