Dupty Chief Information Technology Officer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
The self-service helps increase employee loyalty
The reporting could use some improvement. It doesn't shorten the data that it displays to the employee. At the moment you have to scroll through all of the results in order to find what you are looking for. Another improvement that should be implemented in the next release is the appraisal. For the appraisal model, we have to go to another solution because the one included is not supporting us in our needs.

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

"This solution increases the employees' loyalty to the organization since everything regarding their salary, health, insurance, etc. is there, and the employees can also check to see what activity is done on their files."
"The most valuable feature for us is the integration between the HR Payroll and Financials modules."
"PeopleSoft is easy to understand, where any end user that is logged in can easily navigate through the menus."
"I think it's a very strong, solid product, very mature."
"The most valuable feature is ERP application information."
"Stability-wise, it is a good tool."
"We use a lot of typical cases from PeopleSoft, for example, solutions for security, business performance, monitoring processes, and a lot of training."
"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 integration between Human Capital Management (HCM) and PeopleSoft is an important feature."
 

Cons

"The reporting could use some improvement."

"I would like to see it become available again in Mexico."

"I am not satisfied with this solution because its performance is not good."
"It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development."
"There are some small things I'd like changing, but the big thing that needs work is their technical support."
