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.

Reliable and loaded with features, but the UI is outdated
The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically. When I give a new employee, aged 19 and recently graduated, the solution, they are not enthused to use it on a daily basis. Ramco HCM looks outdated and is not as intuitive as it should be. I want to create an easier experience for new generations who come to work with me, with fewer scrolls, clicks, and pages to navigate. The optimization should be available with the minimum number of clicks. This is why I believe UI/UX is the most important element. I would love to see an intuitive web interface for the app, which would enable each user to easily manage and govern their data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very fully featured. It has more features and more configurability than SAP."
"It provides a very stable platform for us to support key applications, including Procure to Pay, HR/Payroll, AP/AR, Fixed Asset, and Financial Reporting."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"PeopleSoft is a stable solution and it has a lot of functionality."
"In general, this solution is user-friendly and also performs well."
"It's great for helping users deal with their supply chain."
"The most valuable feature is the module integration, which saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules."
"If the implementation is without modification for any of the modules, it’s really simple using their QiK tool; the implementation takes around 2-3 months to go live."
"It is a time-saving solution, saving a lot of time for our clients by eliminating manual errors in salary calculations and removing the need for a help desk team through its chatbot that instantly handles employee queries about payslips, leave balance, and holidays."
"It is a good product, and it is suitable for different client requirements. It has customization options and flexibility. You can customize a report or configure the workflow based on your requirements. Everything is there in the product, and you can customize it as per your requirement. Our clients found the automation of the payroll, leave attendance, and onboarding modules the most valuable. The Time and Attendance module is fully integrated with this solution and supports multiple data entry modes, such as barcode, biometric device, fingerprints, and face reading. Its core HR module includes features like movement, expense management, exit, and separation. The compensation and benefits module includes features like welfare, retirement, and superannuation. It also has analytical tools. You can create a real-time report based on your requirements. You can also publish that report in different formats, such as Excel, PDF, HTML, etc. It has a chatbot feature, which is using machine learning and natural language. You can ask questions about your leave balance, attendance, or things like that, and you will get an immediate reply from the chatbot. It also supports approval through email."
"Ramco HCM is a stable system that doesn't have downtime or fluctuation issues. It can also take large volumes and scale up very fast."
"Ramco delivers value for a simple straight out-of-the-box solution."
"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"Ramco HCM's performance management system is really good and supports assessments, appraisals, and more."
"Payroll processing is very easy. SQL rules can be attached to any pay elements."
 

Cons

"PeopleSoft lacks integration capabilities."
"I think the inventory part it should be simplified. There is a lot of shuffling through pages, which creates a lot of problems for our users."
"It needs a better interface on the financial side because there have been more improvements to the RMS interface than the financial one."
"The UI and appearance of People Soft needs a lot of upgrading and modernization."
"PCM, the procurement side, is weak and is far from the strongest product."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"Technical support's gotten weaker over the years."
"It requires more technical expertise to weed through code and see what’s happening behind the scenes to actually deliver a solution that the end user is happy with."
"I would like to see the flexibility to create reports suitable to the company because the standard reports from Ramco are so conservative."
"The one area where I would like to see some improvement would be the mobile app and web page user experience which could be more user friendly."
"I would say that there is a lot of room for improvement. They should improve their consistency; the product itself sometimes feels inconsistent because it comes with bugs."
"The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically."
"There were so many bugs in the older releases."
"One area for improvement in Ramco HCM is its UI, which could be more intuitive. Another area for improvement in the system is that it can be challenging to make some modular-based changes to it."
"The talent management and performance appraisal modules could use some improvement."
"They can improve the configuration time because it takes more time than other products to configure the system. It could be because they are managing this single product for all countries, but it would be good if they improve the implementation time because we need to implement the solutions within a timeline. They should provide some kind of auto-configuration so that the system can be configured and implemented within a certain timeline. Implementors should have a provision to configure the system in a short time. There should also be an option to move the setup or configuration from staging to production to save time. These types of automation should be there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"The tool is expensive."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"The product's cost depends on the number of people in your company or the number of paychecks processed. They charge based on these factors, plus a maintenance fee. I'm not sure about current pricing since Oracle took over."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"This solution is priced in the middle compared to other solutions on the market."
"Their customized solution is pretty expensive but much cheaper than its competitors."
"I am not aware of the price because I was working in the implementation team, but pricing is generally based on the requirement, modules, headcount, and country."
