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."
"Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market."
"PeopleSoft is scalable."
"I love how easy it is to customize."
"The solution allows us to explore the databases and enables people to properly develop their work."
"PeopleSoft automatically generates code, making it easier to integrate with third-party or internal systems."
"PeopleSoft is well integrated and has excellent tools to enhance or amend according to business practices."
"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."
"With the way that my agency uses PeopleSoft, the most valuable feature of it is the ability it gives us to track our contracts and the release against those contracts."
 

Cons

"The reporting could use some improvement."
"First-level support is poor, but second-level support has been fantastic."
"In my opinion, it needs more performance, maybe something technical related, because it's very slow for us and even small activities take a while."
"Tools and UI could be enhanced."
"Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved."
"PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems."
"We struggle with release notes."
"I would like to see better support, bug fixing, and documentation."
"There can occasionally be complexity in the initial setup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."

"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"The tool is expensive."
"The solution is priced per module."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
