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

"Microsoft Viva Insights is integrated with Outlook and SharePoint. It helps me to reply and attend all scheduled meetings."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is having the sources so that you're able to adapt the product to your needs. That was a big benefit."
"I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."
"PeopleSoft is easy to understand, where any end user that is logged in can easily navigate through the menus."
"HR/payroll is integrated with Financials, so we don't have to enter data in two places."
"It is a customizable product; we can customize it based on our needs, which is one of the features that I like about PeopleSoft, and as far as financial accounting is concerned, the user interface is very good and you can also configure Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
"This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful."
"Customer Service: Excellent, since Oracle support is always available."
"I think it's a very strong, solid product, very mature."
 

Cons

"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
"PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems."
"Agile system configurations to accommodate business dynamics."
"An area for improvement would be that it's quite difficult to learn how to use this product, and the documentation provided isn't helpful in giving you practical advice."
"First-level support is poor, but second-level support has been fantastic."
"PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration."
"An area for improvement would be PeopleSoft's global payroll capabilities, which could be easier to use."
"For HCM the editing criteria, especially for the time and labor section, the editing tool needs improvement."
"There are a couple of areas for improvement, including better overall performance as well as an even quicker update process so that we have as minimal downtime as possible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"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 don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"The tool is expensive."
"Check all options before a decision is made."

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