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."
"Very stable in terms of performance and scalability."
"PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it."
"The most valuable feature for us is the integration between the HR Payroll and Financials modules."
"I like the speed of the processing and how easy it is to use."
"It's very fully featured. It has more features and more configurability than SAP."
"We're able to do far better data collection using CRM; far better than anything we had in the past."
"The user interface that I use is very intuitive, it’s to the point of what I want to use it for."
"We use a lot of typical cases from PeopleSoft, for example, solutions for security, business performance, monitoring processes, and a lot of training."
 

Cons

"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
"The BI component of PeopleSoft is lacking."
"I wasn't part of the team that originally implemented it, but I was involved in upgrades. I think it was extremely difficult."
"The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Parsing of CVs is productive but accuracy can be improved."
"We've had to build all our data warehouses and datamarts in order for PeopleSoft to do the detailed reporting that we need."
"I would like to see a better UI."
 

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."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"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."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"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."
"Check all options before a decision is made."

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.

More delivered artificial intelligence functionality in operations and finance would be helpful.
