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.

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 features most important to me are the web solution, the web interface, and the integration with other ECM products."
"I love how easy it is to customize."
"PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality. Some customers use it for its finance module."
"It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features."
"The most valuable feature is the module integration, which saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules."
"PeopleSoft is scalable."
"Because the UI is so easy to use, it makes our work processes flow more efficiently, which, of course, impacts cost and time savings."
"I think PeopleSoft is a good tool for HR administrators; it's easy to navigate compared to the other ERPs, the management of the tool is straightforward from the employee's perspective so the employee experience is good, and PeopleSoft is intuitive so no one needs to be taught how to use the system."
"The accounting part and the procurement part are most valuable. It is a very good system with workflows and notifications."
"The initial setup is not complex. The deployment process was relatively straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management is the business intelligence module. Additionally, report consolidation, cloud access, and analysis are useful."
"The accounting part and the procurement part are most valuable; it is a very good system with workflows and notifications."
"Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management has helped by making processes such as calculating costs, accessing inventory information quickly, validating offers, and extracting data easier."
"The solution is parameterized so it naturally has the ability to parameterize, configure, and adapt to various organizational procedures."
"The interface is rich in features, allowing efficient management of business operations."
 

Cons

"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."
"It needs a better interface on the financial side because there have been more improvements to the RMS interface than the financial one."
"The bugs are always in the latest release, so I always tell my client to be one release behind, let somebody else find all those bugs, and their response time in fixing those bugs sometimes takes a little while."
"Initial setup can be complex without training or use of consultants."
"There are many areas in this product that can be improved, especially in regards to the EPM side since they have different products doing that."
"I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner."
"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved."
"Its implementation process is kind of complicated. If the person implementing it doesn't know what he is doing, the system can have many issues. Sage X3 is just an accounting system. As compared to Oracle E-Business Suite, it does not cover a lot of functionality. It doesn't have the payroll, lease management, and HR modules. Oracle E-Business Suite is better than Sage X3."
"Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management could improve the search functionality. For example, if I was to search for a transaction from last year it would be difficult to accomplish. I have to scroll through to find what I am looking for. The approach should be more similar to Quickbooks where when you search for something it takes you directly to the searched item."
"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."
"Sage X3 is just an accounting system. As compared to Oracle E-Business Suite, it does not cover a lot of functionality."
"The solution does not have a solid, out-of-the-box API architecture that is supported."
"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."
"It is not suitable for corporate or manufacturing companies. For example, it's challenging to use it for a manufacturing company."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"The solution is priced per module."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"Check all options before a decision is made."
"The cost is not expensive."
"The price of this solution is expensive. However, it depends on the number of branches used. The price can be upwards of $40,000 annually."
"The solution delivers the same capabilities of SAP or Oracle at about 30% to 40% of the cost."
"It is very cheap. There are no additional charges, but the problem is that you have to acquire an additional supporting system such as a budgeting system. You will have to implement the integration and maintain two systems. So, you need to pay for the license of that budgeting system and this one. You also need to pay the license for the payroll and integration. There are all these integrations that you have to pay for."
