Saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules
The most valuable feature is the module integration, which saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules. The user interface has improved significantly. The current client redesigns work centers per subsidiary business unit, making navigation more intuitive and easier for end users. Reporting and analytics capabilities have greatly improved.

It's so easy to use that a customer can easily understand the process with zero knowledge of the system
Ramco is user-friendly. The UA is excellent and so easy to use that a customer can easily understand the process with zero knowledge of the system. We can easily walk a new user through the user guide. For each ESS MSS, I can log in to the ESS access. And documentation is available. Ramco doesn't charge much when customers request custom KPI calculations and other custom features. Workday and SAP impose a high charge. Ramco's bots are excellent, whereas Workday doesn't have an automated system and is only now developing a mobile app.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Stability-wise, it is a good tool."
"A valuable feature is FSCM."
"The most valuable feature is the module integration, which saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules."
"It's great for helping users deal with their supply chain."
"The most valuable feature for us is the integration between the HR Payroll and Financials modules"
"The most valuable feature is IDE."
"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"Ramco is user-friendly. The UA is excellent and so easy to use that a customer can easily understand the process with zero knowledge of the system. We can easily walk a new user through the user guide. For each ESS MSS, I can log in to the ESS access. and documentation is available."
"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."
"Payroll processing is very easy. SQL rules can be attached to any pay elements."
"In general, the solution is very flexible and can be configured in multiple ways."
"The performance management system is really good."
"Ramco HCM stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements."
"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."
 

Cons

"Regarding technical support, they often discourage using PeopleSoft and push for Oracle. Many support staff are offshore and don't understand the system well."
"I would like to see a better UI."
"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."
"Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework."
"The solution could have better processes and automation, or features that allow for a paperless environment."
"PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems."
"Often support just asks people to install a lot of upgrades. Sometimes they don't really give you clear details as to why you need to upgrade. They just say, "You need to upgrade this because there's a newer image, etc". They never really give you the reason underlying why you are having errors."
"The support is medium quality through the Oracle support portal. It's neither exceptionally good nor particularly bad."
"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."
"The mobile app and web page user experience could be more user friendly."
"The mobile app for this solution could be improved as it lacks many features."
"The talent management and performance appraisal modules could use some improvement."
"Ramco could be a bit faster and offer more use cases. A prime aim is to get analytics and this is lacking in Ramco. This lack of reporting is one of the reasons we are moving away from using Ramco."
"The product itself sometimes feels inconsistent because it comes with bugs."
"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 entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing costs of PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft is not very expensive, so I feel it is an affordable product."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"The tool is expensive."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"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."
