Dupty Chief Information Technology Officer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
The self-service helps increase employee loyalty
The reporting could use some improvement. It doesn't shorten the data that it displays to the employee. At the moment you have to scroll through all of the results in order to find what you are looking for. Another improvement that should be implemented in the next release is the appraisal. For the appraisal model, we have to go to another solution because the one included is not supporting us in our needs.

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

"This solution increases the employees' loyalty to the organization since everything regarding their salary, health, insurance, etc. is there, and the employees can also check to see what activity is done on their files."
"Because the UI is so easy to use, it makes our work processes flow more efficiently, which, of course, impacts cost and time savings."
"Customer service is good."
"The PeopleSoft interface is very good."
"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"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."
"The customization and catering to our specific needs have helped."
"I think it's a very strong, solid product, very mature."
"I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"The reporting could use some improvement."
"It requires more technical expertise to weed through code and see what’s happening behind the scenes to actually deliver a solution that the end user is happy with."
"Areas for improvement include implementing/upgrading tools and documentation. The Oracle support website can be difficult to navigate."
"First-level support is poor, but second-level support has been fantastic."
"PeopleSoft is affordable for existing customers only, not for new customers."
"PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems."
"If they could provide reports for various organizations, especially global ones. Currently, the report fields are mostly US centric, and do not support other regions."
"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."
"Agile system configurations to accommodate business dynamics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."

"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."

"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
