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

"Microsoft Viva Insights is integrated with Outlook and SharePoint. It helps me to reply and attend all scheduled meetings."
"The customization and catering to our specific needs have helped, with obvious benefits as the streamlining process is accelerating and it aids me from an auditing perspective since it's all system-driven and cannot be altered."
"Customer Service: Excellent, since Oracle support is always available."
"The support I have received from PeopleSoft has been excellent."
"The customization and catering to our specific needs have helped."
"PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality, and some customers use it for its finance module."
"I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the module integration, which saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules."
"PeopleSoft HCM is a mature, flexible and robust product."
 

Cons

"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
"Reporting was our biggest challenge that was not "delivered" by PeopleSoft."
"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."
"There are load also issues with OSB, and it doesn't provide logs."
"PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems."
"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."
"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."
"Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements."
"The implementation of PeopleSoft is quite complex and is not as easy as other cloud products such as SuccessFactor or Workday."

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.
