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.

Quick implementation brings comprehensive workflow management and efficient regulation handling
One of the major advantages of QAD Cloud ERP is related to the easy and quick implementation that I have found the most valuable. The entire application of QAD Cloud ERP itself is very valuable for my customers. My impression of the advanced supply chain management feature in QAD Cloud ERP is that it's a very comfortable tool and, if rightly configured, it really helps the business to have clear visibility of the entire supply chain. My impression of the compliance management in QAD Cloud ERP is that it has reduced many overheads of doing manual compliance, and it is quite easily manageable; it is connected with the regulatory authorities, making it a fantastic tool. The positive impact my customers have experienced from using QAD Cloud ERP includes easy integration with multiple different applications, connectivity with regulatory authorities and banks, having bank drivers for easy payments and receiving money, and it has fantastic web UI reporting, which satisfies many different stakeholders within the entire organization worldwide.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"The ability to fully customize it for our needs is huge and is by far the most valuable feature for us when it comes to HR management."
"I love how easy it is to customize."
"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 think it's a very strong, solid product, very mature."
"Flexibility in configuration."
"We find the Campus Solutions very valuable."
"Once you get the feel of it and learn how to use it, the ease of use and performance are the most valuable features."
"The solution serves its purpose and does what we need it to do."
"The positive impact my customers have experienced from using QAD Cloud ERP includes easy integration with multiple different applications, connectivity with regulatory authorities and banks, having bank drivers for easy payments and receiving money, and it has fantastic web UI reporting, which satisfies many different stakeholders within the entire organization worldwide."
"Customer service is very friendly and helpful, and as soon as we raise a ticket for any issue, they basically take care of it irrespective of geographic boundaries."
"It is the most stable solution that I've ever worked with."
 

Cons

"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"More/better reporting tools and ease of testing effort."
"Areas that need improvement are the add-ons to the fluid pages and additional features in SCM and finance, both functionally and technically."
"Technical support is not very good and needs improvement in the area of speed in responding to issues."
"I wasn't part of the team that originally implemented it, but I was involved in upgrades. I think it was extremely difficult."
"Upgrades are lengthy and costly."
"The solution needs to work on its mobile technology."
"The solution could improve by offering PeopleSoft site licenses. Currently, Oracle is pushing for everyone to transition to the cloud, but clients are discontent with this approach. Offering new PeopleSoft site licenses would be the most beneficial for our clients."
"The product lacks a lot of features and technology."
"They could improve by moving away from the architecture of Progress 4GL as currently they are undergoing a very drastic change by redoing the entire application with Java and web-based technologies, projected to be released by 2026 with the incorporation of analytics, process intelligence, and AI to help business users."
"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Check all options before a decision is made."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"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."
