I have not found another product that even comes close to PeopleSoft.

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.

I've worked with HR, payroll, benefits, time and labor, health and safety, and every module. I've also worked on different modules for the education, health, and financial sectors. My 25 years of experience cover different industries and implementations. I've also worked in the public sector, which is a bit different. I implemented PeopleSoft for the state of Massachusetts, covering 168 schools, colleges, and universities.

The most valuable feature is the module integration, which saves time through transclusion - using a single record across multiple modules.

We use a lot of typical cases from PeopleSoft, for example, solutions for security, business performance, monitoring processes, and a lot of training.

PeopleSoft allows you to schedule upgrades and inform users beforehand. This gives your IT team time to manage the implementation and minimize disruption.

The breadcrumb approach to navigation in PeopleSoft is good. nVision is also a good supplement.

The support is medium quality through the Oracle support portal. It's neither exceptionally good nor particularly bad.

Regarding technical support, they often discourage using PeopleSoft and push for Oracle. Many support staff are offshore and don't understand the system well.

Areas for improvement include implementing/upgrading tools and documentation. The Oracle support website can be difficult to navigate.

In my opinion, it needs more performance, maybe something technical related, because it's very slow for us and even small activities take a while.

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 learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.
