Comprehensive solution for SCM but requires add-ons for fluid pages
I would like to see a chatbot in PeopleSoft as part of artificial intelligence. Moreover, there are already a few things in the cloud. In the market, all companies and entities are moving to the cloud, whether it is Oracle cloud or AWS cloud. The cloud is the most secure platform where we can also have Fusion. Few companies have migrated from PeopleSoft to Fusion or Oracle Cloud, or AWS cloud based on their organization's requirements. Some organizations are moving from PeopleSoft to upgrade their tools or application versions, while others are moving from PeopleSoft to HCM Cloud if they are into HCM. The cost of the product depends on the enterprise's size, and some enterprises are moving in quantity due to the current market. Additional areas that need improvement are the add-ons to the fluid pages and additional features in SCM and finance, both functionally and technically.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"In general, functionality is fine."
"We haven't had a single issue with stability, and we've been using it for more than three years."
"It is a configurable, scalable solution."
"HCM solution that's easy to set up and scale, with good data integration and technical support."
"I like the interfaces, and they are fine. I would like to see more interfaces."
"Oracle HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly."
"Its drag-and-drop reporting is great."
"The most valuable features of Oracle HCM Cloud are the easy ability to customize the solution and applications. Additionally, the solution updates the solution"
"PeopleSoft is an amazing solution. Its users can have total control of the system, including PeopleCode, Application Engine and Component Interface, along with many other tools delivered by PeopleSoft."
"We use a lot of typical cases from PeopleSoft, for example, solutions for security, business performance, monitoring processes, and a lot of training."
"Its user interface is impressive."
"It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is having the sources so that you're able to adapt the product to your needs. That was a big benefit."
"I would recommend the solution. It's very stable and scalable, which makes it a reliable solution."
"Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market."
"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."
 

Cons

"Once we are done working on a template, we can't change it unless we create a new one."
"From the feedback that I get, the functional side of the payroll could be improved."
"Oracle needs to make some sort of support repository that is up to date."
"The compensation module needs further automation."
"The tool should allow more customization for specific requirements. Some processes could be streamlined, and certain features in specific modules must be added."
"I would focus on making high volume recruitment more bulky."
"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."
"I rate the technical support of Oracle HCM Cloud an eight out of ten. There is some room for improvement."
"I would like to see it become available again in Mexico."
"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."
"We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."
"Agile system configurations to accommodate business dynamics."
"Areas for improvement include implementing/upgrading tools and documentation. The Oracle support website can be difficult to navigate."
"I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner."
"PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"The contract for one of them will be extended for three years and for another one for two years. One of them is paying monthly, and another one is paying per quarter. I don't know about the third one. So, it differs."
"The solution is expensive."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is pricey, but price-wise, it's now more competitive than in the past year. Here in Central Europe, people also look at the pricing, but Central Europe falls under the UAE and Abu Dhabi in terms of headquarters, management, and strategy, but those states don't care too much about the pricing. Pricing is a significant factor in choosing a solution. In the past, Oracle HCM Cloud was compared to the SAP solution, the largest competitor and up to thirty percent higher in price. Now, Oracle HCM Cloud has a price increase of five to ten percent, which could be pricier than SAP now, but it's a more competitive product nowadays and comparable to SAP."
"According to the Turkish market, the pricing is a little bit expensive."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"The tool is expensive."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"The solution is priced per module."
