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

"The feature that I have found most valuable is having the sources so that you're able to adapt the product to your needs. That was a big benefit."
"I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features."
"If the organization has complex needs that require constant changes based on business changes and has a solid IT department, there might not be a better solution than PeopleSoft."
"The most valuable feature of PeopleSoft is the functionality that allows the ability to find all the data about employees that are needed."
"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 most valuable feature for us is the integration between the HR Payroll and Financials modules."
"It provides a very stable platform for us to support key applications, including Procure to Pay, HR/Payroll, AP/AR, Fixed Asset, and Financial Reporting."
"This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful."
"The ability to have a whole system with SilkRoad works well, as we can manage most of the functions of an HR department."
"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

"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."
"Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it."
"Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is one of the most expensive systems in the HCM area, so if the organization has budget limitations, then I would not recommend this system."
"The solution needs to work on its mobile technology."
"I would like to see it become available again in Mexico."
"My developers want to use more HTML instead of the specialized tool, PeopleTools because, they say, it's better from a user perspective."
"I think the inventory part it should be simplified. There is the GR, or good receipt note, which is the time that the materials comes in, and the work days, etc. There is a lot of shuffling through pages, which creates a lot of problems for our users. They don't know which page to go to, where to create a GR, or where to create a stock entry. In other words, all the information is very daunting. It's very easy for people to understand and get a better clarity over it."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"The setup was straightforward while working with the implementation team. However, it was time consuming."
"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 product is designed for smaller companies, so scalability is an issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"The tool is expensive."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing costs of PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft is not very expensive, so I feel it is an affordable product."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
