"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."
"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 is IDE."
"SAP S4HANA provides a solution towards a green industry. They keep making a different version of the solution to meet the needs of different industries, such as automotive and utilities."
"A robust product with integration between all modules."
"I find everything I need in S4/HANA."

"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved."
"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."
"The API integration could be better."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"While the solution contemplates a competitively priced model, its pricing could be cheaper."
"It is simple to implement SAP S4HANA. If you are already in this type of environment, then the transition is not very complex. However, if you do not then it can be difficult."
"If I can highlight one point that could be improved, when we talk about other ERPs, like Oracle, nowadays these ERPs provide free integration with other ERPs. For example, there is an API for banks integrated into every tool and every product form requires that bank integration in order to give real time data into the ERP. But SAP is charging a lot for that particular bank integration scenario and I think it should be free because other ERPs are providing this feature built in to the ERP. People always ask us about the integration and how much it will cost to go with that solution, so people are thinking about this."
"I have found the solution to be stable but it could improve."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Items that impact the TCO should be improved because the solution is very complex to integrate and keep running."
"The solution is complex technically because both an old and a new path exist."
"Technical support has been declining. They aren't as responsive as they used to be."
