Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is IDE.""This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful.""PeopleSoft is scalable.""I often say that PeopleSoft's greatest feature is how customizable it is.""The integration between Human Capital Management (HCM) and PeopleSoft is an important feature.""The feature that I have found most valuable is having the sources so that you're able to adapt the product to your needs. That was a big benefit.""The synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner.""The solution's scalability is good."

More PeopleSoft Pros →

"I guess I would say maybe that it is a more robust system.""The reporting features are also very valuable because, on top of 300+ reports available on the system, you can also customize quite a number of reports.""The solution's initial setup was straightforward.""The most valuable feature of Sage People is the integration with our payroll system.""Sage makes all the information accessible, like pulling a file because an employee needs something ASAP. It's all in the system. It's easy to find old reports if I need them for payroll purposes. It might take days to do some of this work by hand.""The solution provides the ability to trace back records, is reliable, makes life easy, and is secure.""The most valuable features of Sage People are the reports that are useful for decision-making and the API that can be integrated well. Additionally, the solution can be accessed from mobile devices onto the cloud.""Without a doubt, the most valuable aspect of this solution is the reports, as it offers endless possibilities for report customization. You can easily build any report you can imagine with this system."

Cons
"I would like to see better support, bug fixing, and documentation.""PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate.""Global payroll could be easier to use.""There can occasionally be complexity in the initial setup.""The area that could be improved is the upgrade process, it's not the easiest. Oracle stopped supporting our version. So we have to move either to the cloud or work in a non-supported situation. That was certainly a disadvantage. That's also the reason why we decided not to stay with Oracle. Now we are moving to SAP.""In my opinion, it needs more performance, maybe something technical related, because it's very slow for us and even small activities take a while.""On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements.""Parsing of CVs is productive but accuracy can be improved."

More PeopleSoft Cons →

"The user interface is not great.""There were a couple of things that we wanted to customize, but we couldn’t do it ourselves.""Right now, Sage doesn't seem to have what we are looking for when it comes to managing HR tickets. In my previous experiences with other HR software, we had to buy another solution to obtain this functionality, and it would be a great feature for Sage to consider adding. For an HR system, Sage would do very well to include it.""In my opinion, the performance management module of this system could use improvement as it falls behind compared to other specialized performance management platforms.""The budget module does not work. Sage People need to maybe make it more user-friendly.""Its stability could be better.""Its technical support could have been better.""The integration with our payroll system could improve. However, it is managed by another company."

  • More PeopleSoft Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I believe we pay licensing on a yearly basis, but I can't comment on the total amount that we pay on licensing."
  • "From an SME standpoint, I wouldn't necessarily describe it as expensive. However, for the average startup, it may not be affordable since our current annual expenditure on the system, which supports approximately 210-220 users, amounts to approximately £15,000 to £18,000."
  • "The cost of Sage People varies depending on the financial resources of the organization. While it may be affordable for middle-level companies, it may be more challenging for young companies to bear the cost."
  • "There is other software on the market that can do similar functions to Sage People that could be better in price. Some solution allows you to do your payroll processes by month or by the process. Small companies could benefit by using another solution."
