Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Workday, Oracle and others in Talent Management."The most valuable feature of PeopleSoft is the functionality that allows the ability to find all the data about employees that are needed."
"PeopleSoft has been fairly reliable for us. We haven't had any issues with stability."
"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."
"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."
"It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features."
"The recruiting is most valuable. It saves time in having easy and fast applicants tracking as well as candidates' contact plus pipeline management."
"A valuable feature is FSCM."
"The new version of this solution is very scalable."
"SAP HCM can handle a large number of employees. We can easily process payrolls and check the arrangements, and the client can also check the performance of the employees. Additionally, it has some advanced features."
"All our employee data, like performance and payroll, is managed through SAP HCM."
"The user interface is the solution's most valuable feature. It makes it easy for us to use."
"The most valuable feature, in my view, is the level of exceptions or error messages that come back when something goes wrong."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten...It is a stable solution."

"The most important feature is the ability to follow up on the yearly performance of the team. It's very good for management to understand how people are performing."
"SuccessFactors' best features are talent management and HR Analytics."
"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."
"Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved."
"I would like to see better support, bug fixing, and documentation."
"The solution could improve by offering PeopleSoft site licenses. Currently, Oracle is pushing for everyone to transition to the cloud, but clients are discontent with this approach. Offering new PeopleSoft site licenses would be the most beneficial for our clients."
"The implementation of PeopleSoft is quite complex and is not as easy as other cloud products such as SuccessFactor or Workday."
"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."
"Initial setup can be complex without training or use of consultants."
"I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner."
"There are already success factors for the cloud solution which cannot be integrated into S/4 HANA."
"A better user interface and greater AI integration are crucial."
"The extensibility of the integration could be improved."
"SAP HCM could improve by having more resources and making it more user-friendly. It is complex."
"The speed of technical support can be improved."
"Its reporting feature could have customization options."
"SAP HCM cannot integrate with other third-party applications. One of the drawbacks we encounter with SAP HCM, specifically in payroll management, is the limitation regarding changing payroll areas within the same month. For instance, if an employee transitions from staff to non-staff status during the month, we face difficulties because the system doesn't allow us to change the payroll."
"I'm currently working for a state-owned government company, and we need to follow some standards and regulations. We also have a strategy to be followed. Sometimes the template and the format are not available in the SAP HCM, so we have to work around this limitation. The tax also sometimes changes in my country, and we have to redo everything to change the payroll calculations, benefits, and things like that. The talent management feature can be improved. It is currently very simple in SAP HCM. SAP is also very hard to integrate. In terms of monitoring, there are no monitoring tools, but as long as we take care of the disk capacity, there is no problem."
"Forms cannot be edited once submitted."
"It is not that user-friendly. It can be made more user-friendly."
"The product doesn't have a modernized look and is not very user-friendly like other products."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is too high."
"SuccessFactors feels rigid. It should be more streamlined. Also, the interface design is outdated and needs an upgrade."
"Everything, including the provisioning dependency, should be moved to the instance, and coding should be kept to a minimum. Wherever possible, coding should be minimized, and everything should be a drag-and-drop."
"We would like to see improvement in the initial launch of the product, as it is currently quite slow."
"They should be more user friendly and give us more tools to make it more flexible."
