Saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules
The most valuable feature is the module integration, which saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules. The user interface has improved significantly. The current client redesigns work centers per subsidiary business unit, making navigation more intuitive and easier for end users. Reporting and analytics capabilities have greatly improved.
Henrik Aminoff - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool to manage HR master data in a single system that needs to improve on the API front
As a developer, I can say that some of Sympa HR's back-end functionalities, like the API systems, aren't fully fledged or modern enough, a downside of which Sympa is aware. My previous company had some kind of relationship with Sympa, and I used to attend meetings with Sympa's development teams regarding Sympa HR's API integrations in and out.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's a mature product."
"It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features."
"The breadcrumb approach to navigation in PeopleSoft is good. nVision is also a good supplement."
"PeopleSoft automatically generates code, making it easier to integrate with third-party or internal systems."
"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"PeopleSoft allows you to schedule upgrades and inform users beforehand. This gives your IT team time to manage the implementation and minimize disruption."
"Scales up very well."
"One of my favorite features of Sympa HR is its customization options. You can tailor it to meet your specific needs, which is really beneficial for HR processes."
"Sympa HR was helpful since it helped me manage HR master data in a single system."
 

Cons

"In my opinion, it needs more performance, maybe something technical related, because it's very slow for us and even small activities take a while."
"There can occasionally be complexity in the initial setup."
"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."
"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."
"The Time and Labor module is not that flexible."
"I would like to see it become available again in Mexico."
"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."
"The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great."
"As a developer, I can say that some of Sympa HR's back-end functionalities, like the API systems, aren't fully fledged or modern enough, a downside of which Sympa is aware."
"Sympa HR has some fundamental issues like allowing multiple leave applications for the same dates. That needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"Check all options before a decision is made."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"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."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
