Director at Edge HR
Has all-inclusive pricing and good talent acquisition and onboarding components, and is an excellent product for mid-sized to large organizations
They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well.

Newcomers benefit from automation and user-friendly integration
PeopleSoft is affordable for existing customers only, not for new customers. The popularity is declining for several reasons. Resources are moving to cloud solutions such as Workday cloud. Even though it is the same Oracle environment, professionals are transitioning due to challenges in availability, scalability, and resource allocation. When there are limited hiring opportunities for a particular technology, professionals must consider switching technologies either internally within their organization or personally. If a project ends and someone is placed on bench without new opportunities, they often need to switch to technologies with more market demand. Currently, resources are frequently moving to other ERP systems such as Workday, SAP, Mulesoft, and Salesforce, as there are numerous ERP systems in the marketplace.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you are looking for a product with great support, recruitment functionality, ease-of-use, and reliability, this is a great product."
"PageUp has allowed us to integrate all HR systems and manage all processes associated with the employee lifecycle from recruitment through to managing performance, learning and development; also where applicable, departures from the organisation processes."
"The talent acquisition and the onboarding components of the system are most valuable."
"I loved that function, as it made it SO much easier to work out the logistics of those days, and allowing candidates to book their own time slot was a lifesaver as it would have been a nightmare trying to do it for them."
"It has a user-friendly interface in managing job requisitions for the end user."
"This product is user-friendly and great for reporting purposes."
"Most of features in PageUp are very useful."
"It is a reliable, simple to use, end-to-end system for employee lifecycle management."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the HR suite; it is the leading vendor for human resources in the market, so for me, the HR and payroll features are the biggest flagship of the PeopleSoft product."
"In general, this solution is user-friendly and also performs well."
"The PeopleSoft interface is very good."
"PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it."
"PeopleSoft allows you to schedule upgrades and inform users beforehand. This gives your IT team time to manage the implementation and minimize disruption."
"I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features."
"The synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner."
"The support I have received from PeopleSoft has been excellent."
 

Cons

"The ability to pull reports was limited for us."
"Reporting could be improved. Some changes were made to functionality a year or two ago, and whilst there have certainly been some improvements in some areas (in terms of the dashboard view, for example), we have experienced some difficulty in trying to automate some fairly standard reports to be sent out to our hiring areas regarding current recruitment in their respective areas."
"They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well."
"Personally, I believe that they could be more proactive in assuring that, as a client, you are getting the best ROI possible."
"There are sometimes problems when loading the system; it can be very slow."
"Initially, we experienced issues with the stability of the learning management module as we migrated 50,000+ existing training records from our old system."
"The automated removal of historical data would be great if the user could remove it on an ad-hoc basis when required."
"The on-boarding process, with specific relation to the provisioning process, isn’t set up as well as other competitors, such as RedCarpet (SilkRoad)."
"My advice to those thinking about implementing this solution is it is a dying technology."
"It requires more technical expertise to weed through code and see what’s happening behind the scenes to actually deliver a solution that the end user is happy with."
"The problem we have is the customization. We've gone a bit overboard with customization. That’s problematic during upgrades, which is a common problem with PeopleSoft."
"The UI and appearance of People Soft needs a lot of upgrading and modernization."
"The BI component of PeopleSoft is lacking."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"We needed to do a lot of integration with third-party applications in order to get the functionality that we needed. The API integration could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PageUp has a different model from other organizations. As part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup. So, there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with. Here in Australia, the education sector has gravitated very heavily towards PageUp."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"The solution is priced per module."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"The tool is expensive."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."

What are the differences between Oracle HCM Cloud and PeopleSoft?
Although both are solutions to manage HR, their differences make each one suitable for different companies. Oracle Cloud HCM is a platform for connecting all human resource processes in your organ...

More delivered artificial intelligence functionality in operations and finance would be helpful.
