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.

Simple, easy to access and interface is quite user-friendly.
PeopleStrong is good. The only thing is that they have complete SaaS-based solutions. But sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect. This does not exist right now because we have a separate portal for PeopleStrong. They have been logged in via SSO. But if we want to integrate it via API in the current people system, that feature is not available right now.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The recruiting is most valuable. It saves time in having easy and fast applicants tracking as well as candidates' contact plus pipeline management."
"It's great for helping users deal with their supply chain."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"Very stable in terms of performance and scalability."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Scales up very well."
"The customization and catering to our specific needs have helped."
"The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks."
"It is priced low."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
"The mobile responsiveness is strong."
"It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature."
"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
 

Cons

"Areas for improvement include implementing/upgrading tools and documentation. The Oracle support website can be difficult to navigate."
"The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great."
"PeopleSoft lacks integration capabilities."
"The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved."
"There could be more adaptability of the system."
"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."
"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."
"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
"The global scalability and support could improve."
"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."
"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."
"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"Check all options before a decision is made."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"The tool is expensive."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
