Newcomers benefit from automation and user-friendly integration
PeopleSoft is affordable for existing customers only, not for new customers. The popularity is declining for several reasons. Resources are moving to cloud solutions such as Workday cloud. Even though it is the same Oracle environment, professionals are transitioning due to challenges in availability, scalability, and resource allocation. When there are limited hiring opportunities for a particular technology, professionals must consider switching technologies either internally within their organization or personally. If a project ends and someone is placed on bench without new opportunities, they often need to switch to technologies with more market demand. Currently, resources are frequently moving to other ERP systems such as Workday, SAP, Mulesoft, and Salesforce, as there are numerous ERP systems in the marketplace.

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

"PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality, and some customers use it for its finance module."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"Having a complete enterprise solution where all the reporting is in our own centralized system is great."
"The user interface that I use is very intuitive, it’s to the point of what I want to use it for."
"Its user interface is impressive."
"The recruiting is most valuable. It saves time in having easy and fast applicants tracking as well as candidates' contact plus pipeline management."
"The financial capabilities are great."
"I think PeopleSoft is a good tool for HR administrators; it's easy to navigate compared to the other ERPs, the management of the tool is straightforward from the employee's perspective so the employee experience is good, and PeopleSoft is intuitive so no one needs to be taught how to use the system."
"SilkRoad support has been very responsible and helpful."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement would be that it's quite difficult to learn how to use this product, and the documentation provided isn't helpful in giving you practical advice."
"Processing speed and user-friendliness."
"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We needed to do a lot of integration with third-party applications in order to get the functionality that we needed. The API integration could be better."
"There are a couple of areas for improvement, including better overall performance as well as an even quicker update process so that we have as minimal downtime as possible."
"If there is another release, they should look at going to mobile computing to stay competitive."
"The turnaround time is a little long."
"The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great."
"The ability to view and report on, then manage data is not very robust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
