Featured Reviews

IanCampbell - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Ikbel Zammit - PeerSpot reviewer
Makes processes including calculating costs, accessing inventory information quickly, validating offers, and extracting data easier
I use Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management to digitize our processes. I put our work and the opportunities on the platform, validate financial offers, and manage fees from transport and financial management.  I also use the system for record-keeping of client information and work…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The new version of this solution is very scalable."
"The breadcrumb approach to navigation in PeopleSoft is good. nVision is also a good supplement."
"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"I like the speed of the processing and how easy it is to use."
"It's great for helping users deal with their supply chain."
"It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features."
"The most valuable feature for us is the integration between the HR Payroll and Financials modules"
"I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."
"The initial setup is not complex. The deployment process was relatively straightforward."
"The interface is rich in features, allowing efficient management of business operations."
"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 accounting part and the procurement part are most valuable. It is a very good system with workflows and notifications."
"The solution is parameterized so it naturally has the ability to parameterize, configure, and adapt to various organizational procedures."
"The most valuable feature of Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management is the business intelligence module. Additionally, report consolidation, cloud access, and analysis are useful."
 

Cons

"Areas that need improvement are the add-ons to the fluid pages and additional features in SCM and finance, both functionally and technically."
"The solution could improve by offering PeopleSoft site licenses. Currently, Oracle is pushing for everyone to transition to the cloud, but clients are discontent with this approach. Offering new PeopleSoft site licenses would be the most beneficial for our clients."
"Scalability is not there in PeopleSoft. Its performance and resilience are also very bad. When you're trying to stretch it, it breaks. It is not resilient. It is also not stable. It is stable as far as data is concerned, but the infrastructure is not stable."
"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."
"PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems."
"My developers want to use more HTML instead of the specialized tool, PeopleTools because, they say, it's better from a user perspective."
"The ease of integration needs improvement."
"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."
"The solution does not have a solid, out-of-the-box API architecture that is supported."
"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."
"It is not suitable for corporate or manufacturing companies. For example, it's challenging to use it for a manufacturing company."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is 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."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"The solution is priced per module."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is not expensive."
