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

"I have not found another product that even comes close to 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."
"PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality. Some customers use it for its finance module."
"Scales up very well."
"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."
"The solution's scalability is good."
"We use a lot of typical cases from PeopleSoft, for example, solutions for security, business performance, monitoring processes, and a lot of training."
"The PeopleSoft interface is very good."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."
"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."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution's initial setup is not straightforward."
"The Time and Labor module is not that flexible."
"I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner."
"It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development."
"Agile system configurations to accommodate business dynamics."
"Regarding technical support, they often discourage using PeopleSoft and push for Oracle. Many support staff are offshore and don't understand the system well."
"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 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."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"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."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"The tool is expensive."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
