The features that are most valuable are auto-triggers for activities, an integrated portal, and automated student status changes. There is nothing that will help with standards-based grading.
* CampusPortal is in need of an update: This is coming later in 2017. * Clock hour programs work OK in CampusVue, but they are not setup as well as credit programs * Grading is centered around letter grades. There is nothing in CampusVue that will help with standards-based grading.

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

"CampusNexus Student provides everything needed in an SIS."
"I've worked with HR, payroll, benefits, time and labor, health and safety, and every module. I've also worked on different modules for the education, health, and financial sectors. My 25 years of experience cover different industries and implementations. I've also worked in the public sector, which is a bit different. I implemented PeopleSoft for the state of Massachusetts, covering 168 schools, colleges, and universities."
"In general, this solution is user friendly and also performs well. There are two types of forms. One is a standardized form, which you can define things into. The other, you can customize so more repetition can be done in an even manner. That way, it can be designed for what the public or user actually wants. It's not very tough for any person, or layman to understand exactly what the screen requires one to do."
"A valuable feature is FSCM."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the HR suite; it is the leading vendor for human resources in the market, so for me, the HR and payroll features are the biggest flagship of the PeopleSoft product."
"Job data is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features most important to me are the web solution, the web interface, and the integration with other ECM products."
"I have not found another product that even comes close to PeopleSoft."
"We've had a really excellent customer experience with it because of two main features -- it's easy to upgrade and it interfaces well with other systems."
 

Cons

"CampusPortal is in need of an update: This is coming later in 2017."
"Processing speed and user-friendliness."
"PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration."
"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"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."
"The ease of integration needs improvement."
"The support is medium quality through the Oracle support portal. It's neither exceptionally good nor particularly bad."
"PeopleSoft is affordable for existing customers only, not for new customers."
"We struggle with release notes."

What are the differences between Oracle HCM Cloud and PeopleSoft?
Although both are solutions to manage HR, their differences make each one suitable for different companies. Oracle Cloud HCM is a platform for connecting all human resource processes in your organ...
What do you like most about PeopleSoft?
I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for PeopleSoft?
The pricing is customer-specific, so I am not generally privy to what the pricing for licensing is. However, generally, I think PeopleSoft is certainly cheaper than cloud solutions.
