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.

Head - HR Transformation (APAC) at a recruiting/HR firm with 10,001+ employees

Reliable and loaded with features, but the UI is outdated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 Ramco HCM looks outdated and is not as intuitive as it should be.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.

Ruth Baker

HRIS Implementation Consultant at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees

A highly scalable product that provides excellent dashboard and reporting features

The initial setup is easy. We need to be technically savvy. We need to have experience with HR systems to be involved in the setups. For someone who's never had an HR system before, it's going to be very overwhelming. The solution has got a lot of functionalities, which is brilliant. It is 90% customizable. We can configure it exactly as we want it. We would definitely need someone with HR systems experience to understand the backend. We can configure the back end as much as we like. We can also do it once we’ve gone live with the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this product is the HR suite; it is the leading vendor for human resources in the market, so for me, the HR and payroll features are the biggest flagship of the PeopleSoft product."

"Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market."

"I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."

"A valuable feature is FSCM."

"I love Oracle support."

"PeopleSoft is easy to understand, where any end user that is logged in can easily navigate through the menus."

"This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful."

"Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market."

More PeopleSoft pros

"It is a complete HCM suite from hire to retire that streamlines business requirements."

"Ramco HCM stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements."

"Ramco HCM's performance management system is really good and supports assessments, appraisals, and more."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Ramco HCM pros

"It is easy to see all the information we have for a person across two screens, and reports are easy to run, view, amend, and add."

"The solution provides the ability to trace back records, is reliable, makes life easy, and is secure."

"The solution is beneficial overall."

"The reporting features are also very valuable because, on top of 300+ reports available on the system, you can also customize quite a number of reports."

"Compared to the other system that we were using, I think Sage is more friendly. As an administrator, Sage's dashboard is visually friendly and many tasks are easier to accomplish. Another feature that we've liked since we started using Sage is the reporting. With the other system, we needed to configure a lot of things manually when it came to reporting, but with Sage the reporting tasks are much simpler."

"Without a doubt, the most valuable aspect of this solution is the reports, as it offers endless possibilities for report customization. You can easily build any report you can imagine with this system."

"The report builder and dashboard builder are very, very good."

"The most valuable feature of Sage People is the integration with our payroll system."

More Sage People pros

Cons

"I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features."

"An area for improvement would be that it's quite difficult to learn how to use this product, and the documentation provided isn't helpful in giving you practical advice."

"We struggle with release notes."

"The problem we have is the customization. We've gone a bit overboard with customization. That’s problematic during upgrades, which is a common problem with PeopleSoft."

"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."

"Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements."

"The reporting needs to be improved."

"If there is another release, they should look at going to mobile computing to stay competitive."

More PeopleSoft cons

"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 entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically."

"The product itself sometimes feels inconsistent because it comes with bugs."

"Ramco could be a bit faster and offer more use cases. A prime aim is to get analytics and this is lacking in Ramco."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"They can improve the configuration time because it takes more time than other products to configure the system."

More Ramco HCM cons

"The integration with our payroll system could improve. However, it is managed by another company."

"Right now, Sage doesn't seem to have what we are looking for when it comes to managing HR tickets. In my previous experiences with other HR software, we had to buy another solution to obtain this functionality, and it would be a great feature for Sage to consider adding. For an HR system, Sage would do very well to include it."

"Its technical support could have been better."

"Its stability could be better."

"There were a couple of things that we wanted to customize, but we couldn’t do it ourselves."

"The budget module does not work. Sage People need to maybe make it more user-friendly."

"The user interface is not great."

"The automation in Sage People could improve. The solution is the best used for data storage but the automation could be better to have more functionality."

More Sage People cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."

"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."

"There are no additional costs for licensing."

"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."

"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."

"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."

"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."

More PeopleSoft pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"I believe we pay licensing on a yearly basis, but I can't comment on the total amount that we pay on licensing."

"From an SME standpoint, I wouldn't necessarily describe it as expensive. However, for the average startup, it may not be affordable since our current annual expenditure on the system, which supports approximately 210-220 users, amounts to approximately £15,000 to £18,000."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"We have to purchase the solution's license to use it."

"Its cost is moderate for a multi-group licensing model."

"I think it's reasonably priced. But in comparison to other systems, I would choose them over Sage People, regardless of their prices."

"There is other software on the market that can do similar functions to Sage People that could be better in price. Some solution allows you to do your payroll processes by month or by the process. Small companies could benefit by using another solution."

PeopleSoft is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it has a lot of functionality and is customizable.

"PeopleSoft is a good core system. It has a lot of functionality. "They frequently update the solution and recently they have added some good enhancement features for higher education.
