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

"If the organization has complex needs that require constant changes based on business changes and has a solid IT department, there might not be a better solution than PeopleSoft."
"I've worked with HR, payroll, benefits, time and labor, health and safety, and every module. I've also worked on different modules for the education, health, and financial sectors. My 25 years of experience cover different industries and implementations. I've also worked in the public sector, which is a bit different. I implemented PeopleSoft for the state of Massachusetts, covering 168 schools, colleges, and universities."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"Because the UI is so easy to use, it makes our work processes flow more efficiently, which, of course, impacts cost and time savings."
"I like its wide variety and its use in many applications; receivables, payables, general ledger."
"One of the best on-prem ERP systems on the market with robust features."
"The new version of this solution is very scalable."
"The customization and catering to our specific needs have helped."
"The mobile responsiveness is strong."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
"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."
"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
"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."
"It is priced low."
 

Cons

"The support is medium quality through the Oracle support portal. It's neither exceptionally good nor particularly bad."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"The solution's initial setup is not straightforward."
"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."
"PeopleSoft is affordable for existing customers only, not for new customers."
"I wasn't part of the team that originally implemented it, but I was involved in upgrades. I think it was extremely difficult."
"Global payroll could be easier to use."
"The biggest disadvantage with things like PeopleSoft is that they do continuous support and fixes and upgrades. You get to choose when you want to implement that upgrade. However, in order to keep up, you have to upgrade."
"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."
"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."
"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
"The global scalability and support could improve."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"Check all options before a decision is made."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"The tool is expensive."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
