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.

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

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

Pros

"I like the reporting feature as it allows me to generate reports independently without relying on a payroll consultant."
"They are very strong in terms of having a central regional system. A regional person can see and monitor the calendar for each different country."
"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."
"The recruiting is most valuable. It saves time in having easy and fast applicants tracking as well as candidates' contact plus pipeline management."
"The customization and catering to our specific needs have helped."
"A solid and mature product."
"PeopleSoft has been fairly reliable for us. We haven't had any issues with stability."
"PeopleSoft is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of PeopleSoft is the functionality that allows the ability to find all the data about employees that are needed."
"Scales up very well."
"The synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner."
 

Cons

"The UI could be improved to be a bit more modern or trendy because it looks old-fashioned compared to other systems."
"I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension."
"They could improve the service relationship manager (SRM), because they have an SRM which is not familiar with Simple."
"Having more clear guidance on design and training would be beneficial."
"The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved."
"The support is medium quality through the Oracle support portal. It's neither exceptionally good nor particularly bad."
"The solution needs to work on its mobile technology. We're hoping in the next version we're working on implementing, 9.2, will have more of this."
"I would like to see it become available again in Mexico."
"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 implementation of PeopleSoft is quite complex and is not as easy as other cloud products such as SuccessFactor or Workday."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"PeopleSoft is affordable for existing customers only, not for new customers."
 

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."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"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."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
