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:

"This is a good product and I recommend it, although it depends on the use case for the business."
"PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality, and some customers use it for its finance module."

Cons

"I would like to see better support, bug fixing, and documentation."
"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution needs to work on its mobile technology."
"I think the inventory part it should be simplified. There is the GR, or good receipt note, which is the time that the materials comes in, and the work days, etc. There is a lot of shuffling through pages, which creates a lot of problems for our users. They don't know which page to go to, where to create a GR, or where to create a stock entry. In other words, all the information is very daunting. It's very easy for people to understand and get a better clarity over it."
"Technical support's gotten weaker over the years."
"Initial setup can be complex without training or use of consultants."
"We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."
"Regarding technical support, they often discourage using PeopleSoft and push for Oracle. Many support staff are offshore and don't understand the system well."
"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."
"I think the ATS should be able to auto-generate a decline letter when you move thru dispositions or when you close a requisition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"The tool is expensive."
