Featured Reviews

IanCampbell - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The support I have received from PeopleSoft has been excellent."
"In general, this solution is user-friendly and also performs well."
"Customer Service: Excellent, since Oracle support is always available."
"The fact that it's an all-enterprise solution is the most valuable feature to me."
"We're able to do far better data collection using CRM; far better than anything we had in the past."
"There are several new features in the PeopleSoft tool set that I've found particularly valuable, such as grid control and related actions."
"The customization and catering to our specific needs have helped."
"The most valuable feature of PeopleSoft Procurement is the completely end-to-end integration of the procurement process."
"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 technical support is very good."
"The warehouse module is imperative in keeping our records up-to-date because we have multiple locations."
 

Cons

"I would like to see it become available again in Mexico."
"The solution needs to work on its mobile technology. We're hoping in the next version we're working on implementing, 9.2, will have more of this."
"Areas for improvement include implementing/upgrading tools and documentation. The Oracle support website can be difficult to navigate."
"Parsing of CVs is productive but accuracy can be improved."
"I would like to see improvement in the UI."
"The UI and appearance of People Soft needs a lot of upgrading and modernization."
"The problem we have is the customization. We've gone a bit overboard with customization. That’s problematic during upgrades, which is a common problem with PeopleSoft."
"There can occasionally be complexity in the initial setup."
"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."
"Updating incorrect information takes a specific process to correctly back out the error to fix it."
"We're definitely looking at a new system because everything in this product needs improving."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"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."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"The pricing is reasonable."
