Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We use a lot of typical cases from PeopleSoft, for example, solutions for security, business performance, monitoring processes, and a lot of training.""I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features.""The time system is what we get the most benefit from.""The most valuable feature for us is the integration between the HR Payroll and Financials modules""The solution's scalability is good.""The breadcrumb approach to navigation in PeopleSoft is good. nVision is also a good supplement.""PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality. Some customers use it for its finance module.""It's very fully featured. It has more features and more configurability than SAP."

"The graphical view of connections between different transactions is a valuable feature of the solution.""The solution offers a structured view and is useful for the top management. The top management finds it organized and structured. It is stable and gives you fewer headaches as an IT manager.""The documentation part and the user manuals provided by SAP are quite comprehensive.""It's very powerful and very complete.""I like that it's stable.""We have been happy with the command line interface of SAP Business One.""We bought all licenses for the whole package in the very beginning, and now we're just paying for 404 licensed maintenance. It's a standard fee. Of course, we still pay partners for implementation.""This is an all-in-one ERP solution for small businesses. Everything is linked. Once you have this, you have all the features available in SAP. You have PR, inventory items, journal entry, and project management features."

Cons
"The solution could have better processes and automation, or features that allow for a paperless environment.""Parsing of CVs is productive but accuracy can be improved.""The Work Center feature in PeopleSoft is a step in the right direction in consolidating someone's role-based interaction with the system. This enhanced functionality streamlines workflows and improves efficiency.""The implementation of PeopleSoft is quite complex and is not as easy as other cloud products such as SuccessFactor or Workday.""The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great.""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.""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.""I would like to see a better UI."

More PeopleSoft Cons →

"There are issues with inventory management and quality management.""The solution needs to have comprehensive visibility into the entire sales-to-purchase cycle, enabling businesses to monitor SO-PO relationships, track order progress, and generate insightful reports.""They have a web client now. It primarily does sales. They just added purchasing. It'll be far more effective when I have inventory and financials as well into the web client version.""The extension of dashboards into mobiles is something which SAP Business One has to improve on.""The solution could improve by having some added authentication, such as SAP CC or SAP S4HANA.""Our business has grown beyond the capabilities of Business One. We need a bigger ERP solution, and therefore we are moving away.""We would like a mobile version of this for sales exhibits, etc. We would also like more personalization features to personalize it for our organization.""Our customers often request concurrent licensing, which is not available with SAP Business One. Adding this option would be beneficial."
