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Reliable and loaded with features, but the UI is outdated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 Ramco HCM looks outdated and is not as intuitive as it should be.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

"I have not found another product that even comes close to PeopleSoft."
"PeopleSoft is easy to understand, where any end user that is logged in can easily navigate through the menus."
"Flexibility in configuration."
"There were no issues with stability."
"It is a customizable product. We can customize it based on our needs, which is one of the features that I like about PeopleSoft. As far as financial accounting is concerned, the user interface is very good. You can also configure Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
"Customer service is good."
"The fact that it's an all-enterprise solution is the most valuable feature to me."
"HR/payroll is integrated with Financials, so we don't have to enter data in two places."
"Payroll processing is very easy. SQL rules can be attached to any pay elements."
"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"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 HCM stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements."
"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."
"It is a complete HCM suite from hire to retire that streamlines business requirements."
"Ramco HCM's performance management system is really good and supports assessments, appraisals, and more."
 

Cons

"Parsing of CVs is productive but accuracy can be improved."
"If they could provide reports for various organizations, especially global ones. Currently, the report fields are mostly US centric, and do not support other regions."
"There are many areas in this product that can be improved, especially in regards to the EPM side since they have different products doing that."
"It needs a better interface on the financial side because there have been more improvements to the RMS interface than the financial one."
"The UI and user experience are not great, and it's not as feature-rich as today's systems."
"The ease of integration needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Ramco could be a bit faster and offer more use cases. A prime aim is to get analytics and this is lacking in Ramco. This lack of reporting is one of the reasons we are moving away from using Ramco."
"The talent management and performance appraisal modules could use some improvement."
"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."
"They can improve the configuration time because it takes more time than other products to configure the system."
"It can improve on the Comp Off and On Duty leave management process and can include real time Google Maps instead of geo-tagging to track the real location of employees."
"The mobile app for this solution could be improved as it lacks many features."
"I would like to see the flexibility to create reports suitable to the company because the standard reports from Ramco are so conservative."
"They can improve the configuration time because it takes more time than other products to configure the system. It could be because they are managing this single product for all countries, but it would be good if they improve the implementation time because we need to implement the solutions within a timeline. They should provide some kind of auto-configuration so that the system can be configured and implemented within a certain timeline. Implementors should have a provision to configure the system in a short time. There should also be an option to move the setup or configuration from staging to production to save time. These types of automation should be there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"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."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"The tool is expensive."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"The solution is priced per module."
"This solution is priced in the middle compared to other solutions on the market."
"Their customized solution is pretty expensive but much cheaper than its competitors."
"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."
