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."
"There were no issues with stability."
"The allocation tool is probably the most valuable feature for us in PeopleSoft."
"Having a complete enterprise solution where all the reporting is in our own centralized system is great."
"The user interface that I use is very intuitive, it’s to the point of what I want to use it for."
"We're able to do far better data collection using CRM; far better than anything we had in the past."
"PeopleSoft FSCM provides for order management, SCM, human capital management, and CRM, making it a comprehensive ERP system compared to others."
"With the way that my agency uses PeopleSoft, the most valuable feature of it is the ability it gives us to track our contracts and the release against those contracts."
"It is a customizable product. We can customize it based on our needs, which is one of the features that I like about PeopleSoft. As far as financial accounting is concerned, the user interface is very good. You can also configure Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
 

Cons

"CampusPortal is in need of an update: This is coming later in 2017."
"The Work Center feature in PeopleSoft is a step in the right direction in consolidating someone's role-based interaction with the system. This enhanced functionality streamlines workflows and improves efficiency."
"The API integration could be better."
"They cannot go and get a report that easily."
"The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved."
"The UI and user experience are not great, and it's not as feature-rich as today's systems. Furthermore, our implementation does not include all the components we need, like payroll or some other functions."
"The area that could be improved is the upgrade process, it's not the easiest. Oracle stopped supporting our version. So we have to move either to the cloud or work in a non-supported situation. That was certainly a disadvantage. That's also the reason why we decided not to stay with Oracle. Now we are moving to SAP."
"There could be more adaptability of the system."
"From an administration perspective, I think Oracle needs more clarity on their road map as to where they are going to improve the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"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."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."

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.
What needs improvement with PeopleSoft?
More delivered artificial intelligence functionality in operations and finance would be helpful.
