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

"The PeopleSoft interface is very good."
"A valuable feature is FSCM."
"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"I have not found another product that even comes close to PeopleSoft."
"PeopleSoft is a very solid and robust product."
"The most valuable feature is IDE."
"I like the speed of the processing and how easy it is to use."
"The beauty of using the on-premises solution is having customizations according to business requirements, because business requirements are not always aligned with the out-of-the-box product."
"Technical support is excellent."
"The ability to have a whole system with SilkRoad works well, as we can manage most of the functions of an HR department."
"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."
 

Cons

"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"I think it needs better integration with other parties."
"I think the inventory part it should be simplified. There is a lot of shuffling through pages, which creates a lot of problems for our users."
"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 could improve by offering PeopleSoft site licenses. Currently, Oracle is pushing for everyone to transition to the cloud, but clients are discontent with this approach. Offering new PeopleSoft site licenses would be the most beneficial for our clients."
"Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements."
"The API integration could be better."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"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 product is designed for smaller companies, so scalability is an issue."
"The setup was straightforward while working with the implementation team. However, it was time consuming."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"The solution is priced per module."
"Check all options before a decision is made."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"The tool is expensive."
"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."
