Featured Reviews

CEO at a consultancy with 1-10 employees
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.

Offers extensive features for efficient operations in small to midsize businesses
The solution is very good. However, for very small companies, maybe a cloud service is better. Other software like QuickBooks may work well if you do not have many employees and require simple invoicing and inventory. This software, though, is a bit more advanced compared to QuickBooks, offering flexibility, multi-user capability, and options for application development. It connects directly to the database for reporting or external systems, which is beneficial for companies needing more advanced features. However, if I need a very complex system, Sage might not be suitable. Overall, I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We're able to do far better data collection using CRM; far better than anything we had in the past."
"The most valuable feature for us is the integration between the HR Payroll and Financials modules."
"Customer service is good."
"PeopleSoft is easy to understand, where any end user that is logged in can easily navigate through the menus."
"The ability to fully customize it for our needs is huge and is by far the most valuable feature for us when it comes to HR management."
"I love Oracle support."
"Stability-wise, it is a good tool."
"HR/payroll is integrated with Financials, so we don't have to enter data in two places."
"For me, it is a ten because I did not have any problems or issues."
"The product provides consistent updates and upgrades."
"Regarding the cost, it is cheap. I pay a one-time fee instead of a monthly license fee per user."
"The warehouse module is imperative in keeping our records up-to-date because we have multiple locations."
"The technical support is very good."
 

Cons

"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The support is medium quality through the Oracle support portal. It's neither exceptionally good nor particularly bad."
"Processing speed and user-friendliness."
"Mobility isn’t the greatest."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"It needs a better interface on the financial side because there have been more improvements to the RMS interface than the financial one."
"There should be more analytics, monitoring analytics, and also machine learning should be incorporated into the core product."
"Global payroll could be easier to use."
"The vendor stopped supporting the solution on the Linux platform."
"We're definitely looking at a new system because everything in this product needs improving."
"Updating incorrect information takes a specific process to correctly back out the error to fix it."
"While the software may not be very expensive, it lacks many advanced features found in other software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check all options before a decision is made."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"The pricing is reasonable."
