Newcomers benefit from automation and user-friendly integration
PeopleSoft is affordable for existing customers only, not for new customers. The popularity is declining for several reasons. Resources are moving to cloud solutions such as Workday cloud. Even though it is the same Oracle environment, professionals are transitioning due to challenges in availability, scalability, and resource allocation. When there are limited hiring opportunities for a particular technology, professionals must consider switching technologies either internally within their organization or personally. If a project ends and someone is placed on bench without new opportunities, they often need to switch to technologies with more market demand. Currently, resources are frequently moving to other ERP systems such as Workday, SAP, Mulesoft, and Salesforce, as there are numerous ERP systems in the marketplace.

Simple, easy to access and interface is quite user-friendly.
PeopleStrong is good. The only thing is that they have complete SaaS-based solutions. But sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect. This does not exist right now because we have a separate portal for PeopleStrong. They have been logged in via SSO. But if we want to integrate it via API in the current people system, that feature is not available right now.

Pros

"Job data is a valuable feature."
"It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features."
"The most valuable feature of PeopleSoft Procurement is the completely end-to-end integration of the procurement process."
"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"This is a good product and I recommend it, although it depends on the use case for the business."
"I like its wide variety and its use in many applications; receivables, payables, general ledger."
"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."
"This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful."
"It is priced low."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."

Cons

"The ease of integration needs improvement."
"Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework."
"We needed to do a lot of integration with third-party applications in order to get the functionality that we needed. The API integration could be better."

"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"I wasn't part of the team that originally implemented it, but I was involved in upgrades. I think it was extremely difficult."

"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."

"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."
