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 fact that it's an all-enterprise solution is the most valuable feature to me."
"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 most valuable feature is that it's wide and broad and it does about everything anybody needs in a major organization from a back-office systems point of view."
"There are several new features in the PeopleSoft tool set that I've found particularly valuable, such as grid control and related actions."
"This solution has the potential of making life easier, so it is just a question of adaptation to it."
"What I like is that we can have multiple web services created and multiple consumers can use them together without any interruption or downtime."
"The most valuable feature is the module integration, which saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules."
"I often say that PeopleSoft's greatest feature is how customizable it is."
"The ability to have a whole system with SilkRoad works well, as we can manage most of the functions of an HR department."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner."
"The UI and appearance of People Soft needs a lot of upgrading and modernization."
"Scalability is not there in PeopleSoft. Its performance and resilience are also very bad. When you're trying to stretch it, it breaks. It is not resilient. It is also not stable. It is stable as far as data is concerned, but the infrastructure is not stable."
"Reporting was our biggest challenge that was not "delivered" by PeopleSoft."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"I am not satisfied with this solution because its performance is not good."
"PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems."
"The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great."
"The product is designed for smaller companies, so scalability is an issue."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"The solution is priced per module."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being 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 main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
