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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"PeopleSoft is well integrated and has excellent tools to enhance or amend according to business practices."
"PeopleSoft is easy to understand, where any end user that is logged in can easily navigate through the menus."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"All the features of the solution are integral to the functionality. Additionally, the navigation customization is beneficial."
"The breadcrumb approach to navigation in PeopleSoft is good. nVision is also a good supplement."
"However, I definitely enjoy working with the software as I have been working with them for so long."
"Technical support is excellent."
"Simple to use Easy setup Cloud-based Easy foundation setup (companies, locations, employee data, etc.) Employees can log in from any internet browser No local installation and support is required."
"The ability to have a whole system with SilkRoad works well, as we can manage most of the functions of an HR department."
 

Cons

"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."
"PeopleSoft is affordable for existing customers only, not for new customers."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"Upgrades are lengthy and costly."
"Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is one of the most expensive systems in the HCM area, so if the organization has budget limitations, then I would not recommend this system."
"More/better reporting tools and ease of testing effort."
"We struggle with release notes."
"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."
"I think the ATS should be able to auto-generate a decline letter when you move thru dispositions or when you close a requisition."
"The setup was straightforward while working with the implementation team. However, it was time consuming."
"The product is designed for smaller companies, so scalability is an issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced per module."
"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."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"The tool is expensive."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
