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.

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

"The customization and catering to our specific needs have helped, with obvious benefits as the streamlining process is accelerating and it aids me from an auditing perspective since it's all system-driven and cannot be altered."
"The support I have received from PeopleSoft has been excellent."
"The customizations allow us to come up with a lot of complex labor rules; in the Philippines, there are many different kinds of rules you need to be in compliance with, and the solution offers a lot of flexibility and customization that is perfect for our region's requirements."
"The time system is what we get the most benefit from."
"Our end process is going through multiple procure-to-pay systems, so the most valuable feature of PeopleSoft is the collaboration that it provides between our procurement/purchasing and accounts payable."
"PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it."
"I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."
"The customization and catering to our specific needs have helped."
"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."
"For me, it is a ten because I did not have any problems or issues."
"The technical support is very good."
"The product provides consistent updates and upgrades."
"The technical support is very good."
 

Cons

"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"This is an area I would warn others about. I've worked on several implementations and there's a long period of time within which PeopleSoft needs to be implemented."
"I think the inventory part it should be simplified. There is the GR, or good receipt note, which is the time that the materials comes in, and the work days, etc. There is a lot of shuffling through pages, which creates a lot of problems for our users. They don't know which page to go to, where to create a GR, or where to create a stock entry. In other words, all the information is very daunting. It's very easy for people to understand and get a better clarity over it."
"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."
"PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration."
"The ease of integration needs improvement."
"Data might get lost, for instance."
"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."
"The vendor stopped supporting the solution on the Linux platform."
"While the software may not be very expensive, it lacks many advanced features found in other software."
"We're definitely looking at a new system because everything in this product needs improving."
"While the software may not be very expensive, it lacks many advanced features found in other software."
