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.

Saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules
The most valuable feature is the module integration, which saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules. The user interface has improved significantly. The current client redesigns work centers per subsidiary business unit, making navigation more intuitive and easier for end users. Reporting and analytics capabilities have greatly improved.

Pros

"The solution has provided a good return on investment by ensuring our financial and operational information is accurate and timely."
"If I put myself in the customer's shoes, it's easier to use. Reporting would be a very valuable feature."
"It's pretty easy to set up."
"The customizations allow us to come up with a lot of complex labor rules. In the Philippines, there's a lot of different kinds of rules you need to be in compliance with. The solution offers up a lot of flexibility and customization that is perfect for our region's requirements."
"The most valuable feature is IDE."
"It's great for helping users deal with their supply chain."
"PeopleSoft has been fairly reliable for us. We haven't had any issues with stability."
"It is a customizable product. We can customize it based on our needs, which is one of the features that I like about PeopleSoft. As far as financial accounting is concerned, the user interface is very good. You can also configure Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
"I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."
"It's a mature product."
"A valuable feature is HCM."
 

Cons

"The product's primary improvement area would be its batch processing system."
"The licensing of the solution should be adjusted. The policies aren't ideal. They should make it easier to understand. Right now, it's too confusing."
"An area of improvement could be around automation and predictability."
"The solution's initial setup is not straightforward."
"Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"Areas that need improvement are the add-ons to the fluid pages and additional features in SCM and finance, both functionally and technically."

"Regarding technical support, they often discourage using PeopleSoft and push for Oracle. Many support staff are offshore and don't understand the system well."
"Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements."
"Tools and UI could be enhanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced per module."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"Check all options before a decision is made."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."

"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
