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

"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."
"I would recommend the solution. It's very stable and scalable, which makes it a reliable solution."
"The most valuable feature for us is the integration between the HR Payroll and Financials modules."
"I often say that PeopleSoft's greatest feature is how customizable it is."
"The most valuable feature is IDE."
"PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it."
"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."
"PeopleSoft automatically generates code, making it easier to integrate with third-party or internal systems."
"SilkRoad support has been very responsible and helpful."
 

Cons

"More/better reporting tools and ease of testing effort."
"It requires more technical expertise to weed through code and see what’s happening behind the scenes to actually deliver a solution that the end user is happy with."
"The product is not intuitive, and finding the right candidate can be arduous."
"I would like to see a better UI."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"PeopleSoft lacks integration capabilities."
"Mobility isn’t the greatest."
"The ability to view and report on, then manage data is not very robust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"Check all options before a decision is made."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."

What needs improvement with PeopleSoft?
More delivered artificial intelligence functionality in operations and finance would be helpful.
