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.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"There are several new features in the PeopleSoft tool set that I've found particularly valuable, such as grid control and related actions."
"Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market."
"I love Oracle support."
"Because the UI is so easy to use, it makes our work processes flow more efficiently, which, of course, impacts cost and time savings."
"PeopleSoft is a very solid and robust product."
"The solution allows us to explore the databases and enables people to properly develop their work."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"PeopleSoft FSCM provides for order management, SCM, human capital management, and CRM, making it a comprehensive ERP system compared to others."
"Technical support is excellent."
"Simple to use Easy setup Cloud-based Easy foundation setup (companies, locations, employee data, etc.) Employees can log in from any internet browser No local installation and support is required."

Cons

"I wasn't part of the team that originally implemented it, but I was involved in upgrades. I think it was extremely difficult."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"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."
"Technical support is not very good and needs improvement in the area of speed in responding to issues."
"The support is medium quality through the Oracle support portal. It's neither exceptionally good nor particularly bad."
"The ease of integration needs improvement."
"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."
"The Time and Labor module is not that flexible."
"The product is designed for smaller companies, so scalability is an issue."
"I think the ATS should be able to auto-generate a decline letter when you move thru dispositions or when you close a requisition."
"The setup was straightforward while working with the implementation team. However, it was time consuming."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"The solution is priced per module."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
