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.

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

"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."
"I have recommended PageUp to a lot of my networks due to the fact that it is one of the best systems on the market in terms of functionality, support, and reporting capability."
"Once automated through the system, the approval timeframe decreased to two days."
"It has a user-friendly interface in managing job requisitions for the end user."
"Most of features in PageUp are very useful."
"The talent acquisition and the onboarding components of the system are most valuable."
"It is a reliable, simple to use, end-to-end system for employee lifecycle management."
"This product is user-friendly and great for reporting purposes."
"In general, this solution is user-friendly and also performs well."
"PeopleSoft FSCM provides for order management, SCM, human capital management, and CRM, making it a comprehensive ERP system compared to others."
"For example, any time you need to search information for any employee, you do not need to navigate through different screens and menus."
"I often say that PeopleSoft's greatest feature is how customizable it is."
"I think it's a very strong, solid product, very mature."
"The synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner."
"This solution has the potential of making life easier, so it is just a question of adaptation to it."
"PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality, and some customers use it for its finance module."
 

Cons

"Personally, I believe that they could be more proactive in assuring that, as a client, you are getting the best ROI possible."
"In the Boolean search functions, I would like to be able to search CVs in regards to the skills using the AND/OR functions as well as keywords."
"There are sometimes problems when loading the system; it can be very slow."
"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."
"The on-boarding process, with specific relation to the provisioning process, isn’t set up as well as other competitors, such as RedCarpet (SilkRoad)."
"In our experience, PageUp has not been as flexible as we would like or expect as a vendor."
"Initially, we experienced issues with the stability of the learning management module as we migrated 50,000+ existing training records from our old system."
"It is probably not as scalable as SAP SuccessFactors or other talent management systems that are available in the global marketplace."
"The API integration could be better."
"The area that could be improved is the upgrade process, it's not the easiest. Oracle stopped supporting our version. So we have to move either to the cloud or work in a non-supported situation. That was certainly a disadvantage. That's also the reason why we decided not to stay with Oracle. Now we are moving to SAP."
"Global payroll could be easier to use."
"Data might get lost, for instance."
"PCM, the procurement side, is weak and is far from the strongest product."
"Parsing of CVs is productive but accuracy can be improved."
"Mobility isn’t the greatest."
"PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration."
 

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."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"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 expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
