PeopleSoft Reviews

PeopleSoft is an ERP and provides the software that gives a whole view of a company. From the delivery of raw materials and output from manufacturing plants to distribution, sales and accounting. It provides a unified view and a single source of truth for enterprises. We have 10 clients and those 10 clients have many users who use this solution.

It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features. For example, we are doing load balancing and it does this perfectly. When more people need to use the system, Oracle Cloud infrastructure automatically scales up the ERP deployment so that it can handle millions of people using it.

This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support.

We have been using this solution for four years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scaleable solution due to the fact that it is cloud based. If the demand increases, the backend servers are able to detect that and scale automatically.

The technical support for this solution is good but it is expensive. You have to subscribe to tech support. If you don't subscribe and pay, you don't get support. 

Positive

The initial setup is quite complicated. It requires knowledgeable and experienced people to set it up. It took a whole day to set up and two or three days for training of end users. 

This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user. 

I would recommend this solution to other users. That being said, I would rate Microsoft Dynamics ERP higher than this solution. Microsoft products are better suited for small-scale businesses. 

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten. 

PeopleSoft is an HR management system.

The solution has benefited our organization, it has allowed us to be able to manage employees' information in the system.

PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it.

One of the areas that could improve is the capability of utilizing mobile for some of the self-service activities that are missing. They are running on the older platform. What is happening is people are focusing on the cloud. PeopleSoft is a good provider and should into the cloud. That could be an advantage for them. Customers would not have to go find another solution that is a completely different platform that has different functionality altogether.

The solution is not that effective for mobile devices.

I have been using PeopleSoft for approximately 10 years.

PeopleSoft is stable and reliable.

The scalability is good for PeopleSoft.

We have approximately 6,000 people using this solution.

This solution is being extensively being used in my organization and we will increase usage as needed.

The technical support is average.

I would rate the technical support of PeopleSoft a three out of five.

The implementation is not difficult. The full deployment takes approximately one year.

We used consultants for the implementation of the solution. The solution requires a fair bit of maintenance and we have a five to ten-person team that looks after it.

My advice to those thinking about implementing this solution is it is a dying technology. If anybody wants to implement something similar they should be looking for new systems.

Oracle is not investing much into PeopleSoft. They are not enhancing it. However, they are doing some kind of change but it's not significantly enough, which could significantly help their business users.

I rate PeopleSoft a seven out of ten.

PeopleSoft is our HR system. We used it for everything at my old company, including performance appraisal, leave application, employee, master database. This company only uses the performance management module, so we do goal-setting and appraisals through PeopleSoft. 

Mangement also plans to adopt the compensation module. They are currently only using a small part, but they want to use the full module.

Applications for employee leave used to be a problem. Now employees can check their own leave balances and apply for leave accordingly. The leave application automatically flows to the manager, and the manager can approve it also online. Employee performance appraisals are documented online, and past appraisals can be retrieved if needed. 

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.

I've been using PeopleSoft since 2011.

PeopleSoft is highly stable. They are still using the system.

Many businesses have been added, so PeopleSoft is highly scalable. We have 8,000 employees, but my previous company was a huge global organization with thousands upon thousands. 

Since I joined this organization, I haven't contacted Oracle support, but we implemented Oracle HRMS in my last company. This was back in 2005 or 2007. At the time, IBM was an implementation partner, and we interacted with Oracle's tech team. We went to Bangalore to meet them, and they were quite helpful.

I've worked for different companies, and each had its own ERP solution. My previous company was using Aramco, but they switched to Oracle. Then I another company with no HR system, so everything was manual, but they implemented SAP. 

I joined my current company in 2011, and they were using PeopleSoft, but they merged with another firm that was using SAP. Now we have a hybrid system. Some of our modules are SAP, and others are SuccessFactors or PeopleSoft. We're also using Cornerstone OnDemand for training, learning, and development. 

I rate PeopleSoft 10 out of 10. 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. PeopleSoft is intuitive, so no one needs to be taught how to use the system. It's self-evident, like Facebook or Twitter. SAP is a little more technical, and you need to understand coding.

PeopleSoft is used for human capital management in my organization. It can manage a lot of business areas, such as payroll, time and labor, and absences.

The solution is very good and we have been using it for a very long time keeping us organized.

PeopleSoft is a good core system. It has a lot of functionality. They frequently update the solution and recently they have added some good enhancement features for higher education. We just switched to the new fluid interface and that is working very well for us. It is very good.

Employees can use PeopleSoft to input their time and their own absences. Additionally, they can look at their paychecks and configure their direct deposits.

PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration.

I have been using PeopleSoft for approximately 30 years.

The solution is very stable, it is a senior or mature solution.

PeopleSoft is scalable. We are decreasing employees versus increasing right now, but it has worked well for us. We are using the solution extensively in our organization. We plan to increase usage.

We have approximately 9,000 employees using the solution in my organization.

The product strategist from PeopleSoft is very good. I have not contacted the support myself but I have heard they are good.

We have used other systems in the past. The organization is a University and we have been here for a long time.

The initial implementation is complex. Everything is complex when you first start using a new system. If someone tells you it is not complex, they can not be telling the truth. However, the most recent upgrade from 9.1 to 9.2 was pretty good.

When we first implemented the solution we used consultants but recently we did the upgrade of the solution in-house. We saved a lot of money.

We have an IT team of four who do the maintenance, checkups, updates and patching. Additionally, they answer user help requests. We have an additional three or four developers and administrators that help out during projects.

We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately.

We did a complete evaluation of other solutions, such as cost and customer responses, and we determined PeopleSoft was best suited for us as a University.

PeopleSoft is a stable solution and it has a lot of functionality. Additionally, it has good product strategist and user input support.

I rate PeopleSoft a nine out of ten.

This solution is our primary HCM product. We use it for core HR, payroll benefits, time, labor, Regs, and Legs.

You can meet the business needs of any of our Stakeholders.

I love how easy it is to customize. I often say that PeopleSoft's greatest feature is how customizable it is.

We are in the process of migrating from PeopleSoft, Oracle HCM Cloud, and Taleo.

Their greatest challenge is how customizable it is because the more you customize, the more the total cost of ownership increases.

We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product. We chose Workday, and we are in the process of implementation.

I have been working with PeopleSoft since 1995.

We are using the most up-to-date version. 

PeopleSoft no longer has true versioning. They do PUM upgrades and we stay current with our PUM upgrades.

We have not experienced any issues with the stability of PeopleSoft.

PeopleSoft is a legacy product and I feel that they have effectively taken care of customers who want to stay on PeopleSoft. From that perspective it is scalable, but certainly not modern. It was created in the early 90s.

I refer to our business partners as clients but they are internal. I am their IT, strategy, and planning. I work with our business strategy teams for the technology enablement of their business needs.

We have 85,000 users.

Because it's on-premises, we don't rely on Oracle for support. We have our internal team for production support.

I am also using Oracle Taleo, Oracle HCM Cloud, and Ceridian.

Ceridian was a great product, but we made a company change and the new company used PeopleSoft. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

Oracle doesn't charge us for all of our customization's but we have an in-house development team that does the customization.

Given that it's a legacy product, there's not a lot of people who are looking to deploy PeopleSoft. We will be moving to a modern solution.

There are no additional features that I would recommend and that it is a legacy product.

Because it is not a modern tool, I would rate PeopleSoft a six out of ten. It was built on 1990s technology.

I've put in project costing and/or P2P systems for places like the European Investment Bank and IFAD.

PeopleSoft is a fantastic solution. It's deployable in the cloud. 

It's very fully featured. It has equal in feature/function and more configurability than SAP.

The customization is great. Also, you can change it significantly without having to write much code. That's a big benefit for multinational organizations. 

It's very stable.

Technical support is decent.

The solution is incredibly scalable.

It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development so that, basically, you don't have to write any code like with Salesforce. 

It's pretty much fully featured right now. They're mostly bringing out small improvements to existing features and then expanding the product set.

I've worked with the solution for 25 years. I worked with the solution up until six months ago. 

The solution is extremely stable. 

The solution scales well. It's extremely scalable - so much so that it's the only thing that can handle high volume customers like Amazon with their millions of employees. 

Technical support was great. It's still okay. 

I'm also familiar with SAP, which doesn't have as many configuration capabilities. I'm also familiar with Workday.

Peoplesoft is your own instance. You're not stuck in a multi-tenant deployment where you have no control over the features or the functionality.  PeopleSoft, due to the fact that it's your own instance and even in the cloud, it's not run as SaaS. With PeopleSoft, have complete control over what you're doing, so you can customize and change a lot. Even in the cloud it runs as single tenant PaaS which gives a lot of advantages. 

It's quite straightforward to implement the solution. There are a lot of configuration choices; however, it's very simple and straightforward when you understand what you're doing.

The time it takes to deploy with any of these systems is based on the client, not the software. If you have a client that knows what they want to do, it's quite easy. It's quite quick. However, it just depends on the mindset of the client. Do they work in an agile way, or are they still stuck in waterfall? A lot depends on the experience level and maturity of the customer's processes.

There's always maintenance. Oracle releases two or three service packs a year to upgrade. They went from a big release model to a small service pack-driven release model. There are now functions and new features that get dropped in every six months or every four months. You have to be aware of that if you want to take advantage of the new stuff. 

If you are running an financial institution or project-driven organization, there is no better solution than PeopleSoft. 

Overall, I would rate the solution nine out of ten. 

I focus on financial supply chains and treasury modules in PeopleSoft. They're used by every one of my clients. Additionally, I have clients that use campus solutions and use payroll. The footprint is much larger than what I service.

PeopleSoft plays a crucial role in executing daily operations, generating reports, and managing procurement processes.

All the features of the solution are integral to the functionality. Additionally, the navigation customization is beneficial.

The solution could improve by offering PeopleSoft site licenses. Currently, Oracle is pushing for everyone to transition to the cloud, but clients are discontent with this approach. Offering new PeopleSoft site licenses would be the most beneficial for our clients.

The needs and preferences vary for each industry and client, but a recurring request has been for improved data analytics capabilities. The work centers have provided a useful tool for customizing the navigation, however, I believe the code needs to be optimized to increase efficiency. Clients often have demanding workloads, and when they all have customized work centers, it puts a strain on the system.

I have used PeopleSoft for approximately 22 years.

I rate PeopleSoft a ten out of ten.

We use PeopleSoft for most of the modules. For example, we use it for all our job data for all of our employees, E-recruit, time and labor, and performance.

The most valuable feature of PeopleSoft is the functionality that allows the ability to find all the data about employees that are needed.

PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate.

I have been using PeopleSoft for approximately three years.

PeopleSoft is a stable solution. We haven't had any glitches or disruptions in utilizing it. They do updates fairly regularly and that usually seems to be beneficial.

The scalability of PeopleSoft is very good.

We have over 10,000 employees and all of the employees utilize the solution in some way.

I have previously used Oracle Taleo and it's far superior to the E-recruit feature in PeopleSoft. There's more functionality in Oracle Taleo than there is in E-recruit.

My advice to others is for them to do their research before they choose a solution.

I rate PeopleSoft a six out of ten.
