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.

Reliable and loaded with features, but the UI is outdated
The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically. When I give a new employee, aged 19 and recently graduated, the solution, they are not enthused to use it on a daily basis. Ramco HCM looks outdated and is not as intuitive as it should be. I want to create an easier experience for new generations who come to work with me, with fewer scrolls, clicks, and pages to navigate. The optimization should be available with the minimum number of clicks. This is why I believe UI/UX is the most important element. I would love to see an intuitive web interface for the app, which would enable each user to easily manage and govern their data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Initial setup can be complex without training or use of consultants."
"Scales up very well."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features most important to me are the web solution, the web interface, and the integration with other ECM products."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is having the sources so that you're able to adapt the product to your needs."
"This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful."
"Our end process is going through multiple procure-to-pay systems, so the most valuable feature of PeopleSoft is the collaboration that it provides between our procurement/purchasing and accounts payable."
"PeopleSoft is scalable."
"The performance management system is really good."
"Ramco HCM stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements."
"Ramco HCM is a stable system that doesn't have downtime or fluctuation issues. It can also take large volumes and scale up very fast."
"If the implementation is without modification for any of the modules, it’s really simple using their QiK tool; the implementation takes around 2-3 months to go live."
"Ramco delivers value for a simple straight out-of-the-box solution."
"Ramco is user-friendly. The UA is excellent and so easy to use that a customer can easily understand the process with zero knowledge of the system. We can easily walk a new user through the user guide. For each ESS MSS, I can log in to the ESS access. and documentation is available."
"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"It is a time-saving solution, saving a lot of time for our clients by eliminating manual errors in salary calculations and removing the need for a help desk team through its chatbot that instantly handles employee queries about payslips, leave balance, and holidays."
 

Cons

"Regarding technical support, they often discourage using PeopleSoft and push for Oracle. Many support staff are offshore and don't understand the system well."
"Often support just asks people to install a lot of upgrades. Sometimes they don't really give you clear details as to why you need to upgrade."
"The API integration could be better."
"PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration."
"The support is medium quality through the Oracle support portal. It's neither exceptionally good nor particularly bad."
"First-level support is poor, but second-level support has been fantastic."
"The solution needs to work on its mobile technology. We're hoping in the next version we're working on implementing, 9.2, will have more of this."
"Mobility isn’t the greatest."
"The mobile app for this solution could be improved as it lacks many features."
"The mobile app and web page user experience could be more user friendly."
"I would like to see the flexibility to create reports suitable to the company because the standard reports from Ramco are so conservative."
"The talent management and performance appraisal modules could use some improvement."
"I would say that there is a lot of room for improvement. They should improve their consistency; the product itself sometimes feels inconsistent because it comes with bugs."
"There were so many bugs in the older releases."
"The product itself sometimes feels inconsistent because it comes with bugs."
"The one area where I would like to see some improvement would be the mobile app and web page user experience which could be more user friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing costs of PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft is not very expensive, so I feel it is an affordable product."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"Their customized solution is pretty expensive but much cheaper than its competitors."
"This solution is priced in the middle compared to other solutions on the market."
"I am not aware of the price because I was working in the implementation team, but pricing is generally based on the requirement, modules, headcount, and country."
