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.

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 an amazing solution. Its users can have total control of the system, including PeopleCode, Application Engine and Component Interface, along with many other tools delivered by PeopleSoft."
"The technical support is very robust and I am satisfied with it."
"This solution has the potential of making life easier, so it is just a question of adaptation to it."
"Customer service is good."
"PeopleSoft is a good core system. They frequently update the solution and recently they have added some good enhancement features for higher education. We just switched to the new fluid interface and that is working very well for us. It is very good."
"A valuable feature is FSCM."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"In general, this solution is user-friendly and also performs well."
"SilkRoad support has been very responsible and helpful."
 

Cons

"The UI and user experience are not great, and it's not as feature-rich as today's systems."
"The quality of service has gone down after Oracle took over and this can be restored, and scope for online search could be improved."
"An area for improvement would be PeopleSoft's global payroll capabilities, which could be easier to use."
"The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great."
"Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it."
"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."
"From an administration perspective, I think Oracle needs more clarity on their road map as to where they are going to improve the product."
"PeopleSoft is affordable for existing customers only, not for new customers."
"The ability to view and report on, then manage data is not very robust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"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."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."

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.
