Featured Reviews

IanCampbell - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at a consultancy with 1-10 employees
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.

Offers extensive features for efficient operations in small to midsize businesses
The solution is very good. However, for very small companies, maybe a cloud service is better. Other software like QuickBooks may work well if you do not have many employees and require simple invoicing and inventory. This software, though, is a bit more advanced compared to QuickBooks, offering flexibility, multi-user capability, and options for application development. It connects directly to the database for reporting or external systems, which is beneficial for companies needing more advanced features. However, if I need a very complex system, Sage might not be suitable. Overall, I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a mature product."
"Stability-wise, it is a good tool."
"It is a customizable product; we can customize it based on our needs, which is one of the features that I like about PeopleSoft, and as far as financial accounting is concerned, the user interface is very good and you can also configure Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
"I love how easy it is to customize."
"A solid and mature product."
"For example, any time you need to search information for any employee, you do not need to navigate through different screens and menus."
"The synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner."
"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."
"Regarding the cost, it is cheap. I pay a one-time fee instead of a monthly license fee per user."
"The warehouse module is imperative in keeping our records up-to-date because we have multiple locations."
"For me, it is a ten because I did not have any problems or issues."
"The technical support is very good."
"The product provides consistent updates and upgrades."
 

Cons

"Global payroll could be easier to use."
"I am not satisfied with this solution because its performance is not good."
"Mobility isn’t the greatest."
"Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it."
"We've had to build all our data warehouses and datamarts in order for PeopleSoft to do the detailed reporting that we need."
"We struggle with release notes."
"Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework."
"This is an area I would warn others about. I've worked on several implementations and there's a long period of time within which PeopleSoft needs to be implemented."
"While the software may not be very expensive, it lacks many advanced features found in other software."
"We're definitely looking at a new system because everything in this product needs improving."
"Updating incorrect information takes a specific process to correctly back out the error to fix it."
"The vendor stopped supporting the solution on the Linux platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"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 solution is priced per module."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing costs of PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft is not very expensive, so I feel it is an affordable product."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"The pricing is reasonable."
