Decades of use have delivered secure, customizable control for public sector operations and finance
I have just completed three assessments: one on inventory demand planning, another on using artificial intelligence to bring supplier contracts in portable document format directly into PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft works both internally as well as with third-party products that integrate seamlessly with PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft operates both from a need-to-know-only basis as well as being able at the same time to do group purchase and realize large quantity purchase discounts. My clients have used marketplaces, and it is really industry-specific whether they use one or not, or if there is even one available. I would rate this product nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I would recommend the solution. It's very stable and scalable, which makes it a reliable solution."
"PeopleSoft FSCM provides for order management, SCM, human capital management, and CRM, making it a comprehensive ERP system compared to others."
"The financial capabilities are great."
"I've worked with HR, payroll, benefits, time and labor, health and safety, and every module. I've also worked on different modules for the education, health, and financial sectors. My 25 years of experience cover different industries and implementations. I've also worked in the public sector, which is a bit different. I implemented PeopleSoft for the state of Massachusetts, covering 168 schools, colleges, and universities."
"It's great for helping users deal with their supply chain."
"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 breadcrumb approach to navigation in PeopleSoft is good. nVision is also a good supplement."
"The most valuable feature is that it's wide and broad and it does about everything anybody needs in a major organization from a back-office systems point of view."
"The Performance Manager, Recruitment manager, and the Payroll and HR core functionalities are the most valuable aspects of this solution."
 

Cons

"The solution's initial setup is not straightforward."
"I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner."
"The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great."
"If they could provide reports for various organizations, especially global ones. Currently, the report fields are mostly US centric, and do not support other regions."
"Reports can definitely be improved."
"Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved."
"Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements."
"Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it."
"The learning development functionalities has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"The product's cost depends on the number of people in your company or the number of paychecks processed. They charge based on these factors, plus a maintenance fee. I'm not sure about current pricing since Oracle took over."
"Check all options before a decision is made."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for PeopleSoft?
The pricing is customer-specific, so I am not generally privy to what the pricing for licensing is. However, generally, I think PeopleSoft is certainly cheaper than cloud solutions.

More delivered artificial intelligence functionality in operations and finance would be helpful.
