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.
Mahmoud Paridehpour - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Stability-wise, it is a good tool."
"The customization and catering to our specific needs have helped."
"PeopleSoft is a good core system. They frequently update the solution and recently they have added some good enhancement features for higher education. We just switched to the new fluid interface and that is working very well for us. It is very good."
"I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."
"It is a customizable product. We can customize it based on our needs, which is one of the features that I like about PeopleSoft. As far as financial accounting is concerned, the user interface is very good. You can also configure Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
"This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful."
"Its user interface is impressive."
"I like the speed of the processing and how easy it is to use."
"Regarding the cost, it is cheap. I pay a one-time fee instead of a monthly license fee per user."
"The product provides consistent updates and upgrades."
"The technical support is very good."
"For me, it is a ten because I did not have any problems or issues."
 

Cons

"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."
"The Time and Labor module is not that flexible."
"Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements."
"The UI and user experience are not great, and it's not as feature-rich as today's systems. Furthermore, our implementation does not include all the components we need, like payroll or some other functions."
"Regarding technical support, they often discourage using PeopleSoft and push for Oracle. Many support staff are offshore and don't understand the system well."
"I would like to see better support, bug fixing, and documentation."
"If there is another release, they should look at going to mobile computing to stay competitive."
"I would like to see a better UI."
"While the software may not be very expensive, it lacks many advanced features found in other software."
"While the software may not be very expensive, it lacks many advanced features found in other software."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced per module."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"The product's cost depends on the number of people in your company or the number of paychecks processed. They charge based on these factors, plus a maintenance fee. I'm not sure about current pricing since Oracle took over."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"The pricing is reasonable."
