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.

Reliable and loaded with features, but the UI is outdated
The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically. When I give a new employee, aged 19 and recently graduated, the solution, they are not enthused to use it on a daily basis. Ramco HCM looks outdated and is not as intuitive as it should be. I want to create an easier experience for new generations who come to work with me, with fewer scrolls, clicks, and pages to navigate. The optimization should be available with the minimum number of clicks. This is why I believe UI/UX is the most important element. I would love to see an intuitive web interface for the app, which would enable each user to easily manage and govern their data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has the potential of making life easier, so it is just a question of adaptation to it."
"This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful."
"If the organization has a sufficient budget and wants to manage talent and support business objectives, then this is the answer."
"The most valuable feature is IDE."
"PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality, and some customers use it for its finance module."
"The financial capabilities are great."
"The PeopleSoft interface is very good."
"A valuable feature is HCM."
"Ramco HCM's performance management system is really good and supports assessments, appraisals, and more."
"It is a time-saving solution, saving a lot of time for our clients by eliminating manual errors in salary calculations and removing the need for a help desk team through its chatbot that instantly handles employee queries about payslips, leave balance, and holidays."
"In general, the solution is very flexible and can be configured in multiple ways."
"It is a good product, and it is suitable for different client requirements. It has customization options and flexibility. You can customize a report or configure the workflow based on your requirements. Everything is there in the product, and you can customize it as per your requirement. Our clients found the automation of the payroll, leave attendance, and onboarding modules the most valuable. The Time and Attendance module is fully integrated with this solution and supports multiple data entry modes, such as barcode, biometric device, fingerprints, and face reading. Its core HR module includes features like movement, expense management, exit, and separation. The compensation and benefits module includes features like welfare, retirement, and superannuation. It also has analytical tools. You can create a real-time report based on your requirements. You can also publish that report in different formats, such as Excel, PDF, HTML, etc. It has a chatbot feature, which is using machine learning and natural language. You can ask questions about your leave balance, attendance, or things like that, and you will get an immediate reply from the chatbot. It also supports approval through email."
"Ramco delivers value for a simple straight out-of-the-box solution."
"Ramco HCM stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements."
"The performance management system is really good."
"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution."
 

Cons

"We needed to do a lot of integration with third-party applications in order to get the functionality that we needed. The API integration could be better."
"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."
"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 quality of service has gone down after Oracle took over and this can be restored, and scope for online search could be improved."
"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"Often support just asks people to install a lot of upgrades. Sometimes they don't really give you clear details as to why you need to upgrade. They just say, "You need to upgrade this because there's a newer image, etc". They never really give you the reason underlying why you are having errors."
"Technical support is not very good and needs improvement in the area of speed in responding to issues."
"If there is another release, they should look at going to mobile computing to stay competitive."
"One area for improvement in Ramco HCM is its UI, which could be more intuitive. Another area for improvement in the system is that it can be challenging to make some modular-based changes to it."
"Ramco could be a bit faster and offer more use cases. A prime aim is to get analytics and this is lacking in Ramco. This lack of reporting is one of the reasons we are moving away from using Ramco."
"There were so many bugs in the older releases."
"The talent management and performance appraisal modules could use some improvement."
"They can improve the configuration time because it takes more time than other products to configure the system."
"They can improve the configuration time because it takes more time than other products to configure the system. It could be because they are managing this single product for all countries, but it would be good if they improve the implementation time because we need to implement the solutions within a timeline. They should provide some kind of auto-configuration so that the system can be configured and implemented within a certain timeline. Implementors should have a provision to configure the system in a short time. There should also be an option to move the setup or configuration from staging to production to save time. These types of automation should be there."
"The mobile app for this solution could be improved as it lacks many features."
"I would like to see the flexibility to create reports suitable to the company because the standard reports from Ramco are so conservative."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"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."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"This solution is priced in the middle compared to other solutions on the market."
"I am not aware of the price because I was working in the implementation team, but pricing is generally based on the requirement, modules, headcount, and country."
"Their customized solution is pretty expensive but much cheaper than its competitors."
