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.

Can accomplish more with this tool than with a website or shared drive, yet reporting is weak
A large percentage of our employee base is remote at client locations. A web-based VMS allows anyone to access our catalog, and to work on their professional development, 24/7, regardless of location. I am a single system admin for over 600 users. I can accomplish much more with this tool than with a website or shared drive that doesn't have reporting, assignment, and other capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The customizations allow us to come up with a lot of complex labor rules. In the Philippines, there's a lot of different kinds of rules you need to be in compliance with. The solution offers up a lot of flexibility and customization that is perfect for our region's requirements."
"This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful."
"I like the speed of the processing and how easy it is to use."
"I think it's a very strong, solid product, very mature."
"We've had a really excellent customer experience with it because of two main features -- it's easy to upgrade and it interfaces well with other systems."
"One of the best on-prem ERP systems on the market with robust features."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the HR suite; it is the leading vendor for human resources in the market, so for me, the HR and payroll features are the biggest flagship of the PeopleSoft product."
"The most valuable feature of PeopleSoft is the functionality that allows the ability to find all the data about employees that are needed."
"SilkRoad support has been very responsible and helpful."
 

Cons

"PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration."
"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."
"Agile system configurations to accommodate business dynamics."
"The API integration could be better."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"Technical support is not very good and needs improvement in the area of speed in responding to issues."
"The problem we have is the customization. We've gone a bit overboard with customization. That’s problematic during upgrades, which is a common problem with PeopleSoft."
"The biggest disadvantage with things like PeopleSoft is that they do continuous support and fixes and upgrades. You get to choose when you want to implement that upgrade. However, in order to keep up, you have to upgrade."
"The ability to view and report on, then manage data is not very robust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive."
"The solution is priced per module."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"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."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"Check all options before a decision is made."

Questions from the Community

What are the differences between Oracle HCM Cloud and PeopleSoft?
Although both are solutions to manage HR, their differences make each one suitable for different companies. Oracle Cloud HCM is a platform for connecting all human resource processes in your organ...
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.
What needs improvement with PeopleSoft?
More delivered artificial intelligence functionality in operations and finance would be helpful.
