Featured Reviews

Abdul-Rauf - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager Payroll Services & Operations at Meshsol Technologies
Simplifies payroll processing and reduces the need for extensive marketing efforts while providing scalability, compliance, and excellent stability
I believe there is room for enhancement in the scope of services. We encountered challenges at times in clearly defining it, particularly because the firewall domain is extensive and demands localization for this service. Consequently, there is occasional confusion regarding whether a service falls under the standard category or is considered an add-on. I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension.
IanCampbell - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at a consultancy with 1-10 employees
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

"They are very strong in terms of having a central regional system, where a regional person can see and monitor the calendar for each different country and know what stage they are in, if the process has been finalized and approved, and if the process has gone back to the bank, all monitored regionally."
"The most valuable feature was that everything was in one system."
"The advantage was that ADP Streamline was inherently designed to serve as a marketing engine for the company."
"I like the reporting feature as it allows me to generate reports independently without relying on a payroll consultant."
"The product allows you to create and manage shared services centrally even in small countries."
"The product is good, user-friendly, and effective."
"The ability to have one reporting for all countries is valuable."
"The financial capabilities are great."
"A solid and mature product."
"PeopleSoft automatically generates code, making it easier to integrate with third-party or internal systems."
"The recruiting is most valuable, as it saves time in having easy and fast applicants tracking as well as candidates' contact plus pipeline management."
"The technical support is very robust and I am satisfied with it."
"The new version of this solution is very scalable."
"However, I definitely enjoy working with the software as I have been working with them for so long."
"PeopleSoft FSCM provides for order management, SCM, human capital management, and CRM, making it a comprehensive ERP system compared to others."
 

Cons

"The UI could be improved to be a bit more modern or trendy because it looks old-fashioned compared to other systems."
"Having more clear guidance on design and training would be beneficial."
"The pricing is high as compared with other products in the market. For a small service that is out of scope, it has a huge service charge."
"The product is not quite up to our expectations."
"I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension."
"The reporting tool could be improved as it currently is just a data dump and much manipulation is required."
"We had to scrap plans to integrate Brazil because it was not doable."
"They could improve the service relationship manager (SRM), because they have an SRM which is not familiar with Simple."
"I would like to see better support, bug fixing, and documentation."
"The solution needs to work on its mobile technology."
"We struggle with release notes."
"Parsing of CVs is productive but accuracy can be improved."
"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."
"More/better reporting tools and ease of testing effort."
"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."
"It would be helpful for the end-user if the reports were customized. They would be able to select the fields while generating their reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our company had a standardized pricing model based on the number of employees."
"The amount we pay is not low, and it is not high. It is average."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"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."
"The tool is expensive."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
