Simplify and streamline complex business processes, and good integration capabilities but lacks predictive capabilities
An area of improvement could be around automation and predictability. However, I'm sure Microsoft is already thinking about incorporating AI co-pilot features, which should be coming soon. The end person who will be looking at the report is the CFO, and CFO isn't just interested in static reports but in predictive information. Ideally, SL could use data from ERP, and CRM to provide some level of prediction. CoPilot is plugged into Dynamics, it'll be a plus and even a huge selling point over other solutions that are there in the market because now we have a component of AI. We can also give you some level of prediction. Even if it starts with a 15% confidence level, a CFO will take that because it still allows them to increase their bets to a certain extent. So, that's something that I I will look forward to whenever Microsoft introduces it.

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

"If I put myself in the customer's shoes, it's easier to use. Reporting would be a very valuable feature."
"The solution has provided a good return on investment by ensuring our financial and operational information is accurate and timely."
"The solution has many helpful features, the stability is very good, its performance is reliable, the solution is extremely useful for e-commerce companies, the compliance has been very useful, the solution is quite stable, the scalability is good, and it is pretty easy to set up."
"It's pretty easy to set up."
"In general, this solution is user-friendly and also performs well."
"The most valuable feature is the module integration, which saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules."
"We find the Campus Solutions very valuable."
"PeopleSoft is easy to understand, where any end user that is logged in can easily navigate through the menus."
"PeopleSoft is a stable solution and it has a lot of functionality."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of PeopleSoft is the functionality that allows the ability to find all the data about employees that are needed."
 

Cons

"The licensing of the solution should be adjusted; the policies aren't ideal and they should make it easier to understand because right now it's too confusing."
"An area of improvement could be around automation and predictability."
"The product's primary improvement area would be its batch processing system."
"The solution needs to work on its mobile technology. We're hoping in the next version we're working on implementing, 9.2, will have more of this."
"The turnaround time is a little long."
"I would like to see a better UI."
"PeopleSoft lacks integration capabilities."
"Areas that need improvement are the add-ons to the fluid pages and additional features in SCM and finance, both functionally and technically."
"I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner."
"PeopleSoft is affordable for existing customers only, not for new customers."
"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If the value proposition is clear for the customer, they won't see it as an expensive solution. A solution becomes expensive when it doesn't do what it promises."
"The licensing costs were reasonable."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"The tool is expensive."
"Check all options before a decision is made."
"The solution is priced per module."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"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."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
