We performed a comparison between PeopleSoft and SAP ERP based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."In general, this solution is user friendly and also performs well. There are two types of forms. One is a standardized form, which you can define things into. The other, you can customize so more repetition can be done in an even manner. That way, it can be designed for what the public or user actually wants. It's not very tough for any person, or layman to understand exactly what the screen requires one to do."
"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 most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"The new version of this solution is very scalable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market."
"The most valuable features are the claim management."
"Control and governance are the best features."
"The payroll solution and the localization for advances are valuable."
"It meets our requirements for what we need it to do in the manufacturing industry."
"It is a stable solution...Our company has experienced a return on investment using the solution."
"The most valuable feature of SAP ERP is the financial module, pre-configured packages, and plenty of features. The solution is updating and adding new features that are helpful."
"The solution has made the most significant impact on our human resources function, specifically in HR operations and HR analytics. One feature of SAP ERP that I found most valuable is its use of codes for accessing specific functions."
"I have found all the modules related to finance valuable, such as account management and HR. The entire suite is very useful."
"Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it."
"There can occasionally be complexity in the initial setup."
"Agile system configurations to accommodate business dynamics."
"It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development."
"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."
"Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements."
"I would like to see a better UI."
"Areas that need improvement are the add-ons to the fluid pages and additional features in SCM and finance, both functionally and technically."
"Presently, the solution's interface is not intuitive."
"The problem with SAP is that whenever there is a modification, or if a new field needs to be added, they charge tens of thousands, hundreds, or even two hundred thousand dollars. That is not anything in which I am really interested. For instance, consider a single-use case. I have to enter the root causes for a certain operation or failure. That option does not exist anywhere in SAP, not in manufacturing, not in logistics, not in anything. It is completely missing. The root cause analysis is very common across industries, yet SAP does not offer this option. A line field or a metaparticle, for example, was delayed. If you have the choice to input the warehouse operator or if the person who submitted the document has the opportunity to enter, this has been postponed for N, X, Y, or Z reasons."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of user experience."
"There should be better support provided to be able to migrate to S/4HANA easier."
"It could be more flexible, and the company should be able to adapt the system. Not the other way around. It's very rigid and difficult to change. Reporting could also be better."
"It needs to incorporate the new features from the SAP S/4HANA release, such as, utilizing data processes, which is quite nice."
"In previous generations, SAP was stable and the roadmap was very predictable, but currently it's very difficult."
"The system is very big. It is not exactly user-friendly, due to the fact that it's so massive and complex."
