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.

Can accomplish more with this tool than with a website or shared drive, yet reporting is weak
A large percentage of our employee base is remote at client locations. A web-based VMS allows anyone to access our catalog, and to work on their professional development, 24/7, regardless of location. I am a single system admin for over 600 users. I can accomplish much more with this tool than with a website or shared drive that doesn't have reporting, assignment, and other capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it."
"I think PeopleSoft is a good tool for HR administrators; it's easy to navigate compared to the other ERPs, the management of the tool is straightforward from the employee's perspective so the employee experience is good, and PeopleSoft is intuitive so no one needs to be taught how to use the system."
"The financial capabilities are great."
"With the way that my agency uses PeopleSoft, the most valuable feature of it is the ability it gives us to track our contracts and the release against those contracts."
"PeopleSoft allows you to schedule upgrades and inform users beforehand. This gives your IT team time to manage the implementation and minimize disruption."
"If the organization has a sufficient budget and wants to manage talent and support business objectives, then this is the answer."
"A solid and mature product."
"The synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner."
"SilkRoad support has been very responsible and helpful."
 

Cons

"The product is not intuitive, and finding the right candidate can be arduous."
"I would like to see it become available again in Mexico."
"We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."
"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."
"Processing speed and user-friendliness."
"Technical support is not very good and needs improvement in the area of speed in responding to issues."
"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."
"I would like to see better support, bug fixing, and documentation."
"The ability to view and report on, then manage data is not very robust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check all options before a decision is made."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"The solution is priced per module."

Questions from the Community

What are the differences between Oracle HCM Cloud and PeopleSoft?
Although both are solutions to manage HR, their differences make each one suitable for different companies. Oracle Cloud HCM is a platform for connecting all human resource processes in your organ...
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for PeopleSoft?
The pricing is customer-specific, so I am not generally privy to what the pricing for licensing is. However, generally, I think PeopleSoft is certainly cheaper than cloud solutions.
What needs improvement with PeopleSoft?
More delivered artificial intelligence functionality in operations and finance would be helpful.
