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Reliable and loaded with features, but the UI is outdated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 Ramco HCM looks outdated and is not as intuitive as it should be.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

"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'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."
"PeopleSoft is well integrated and has excellent tools to enhance or amend according to business practices."
"PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it."
"PeopleSoft automatically generates code, making it easier to integrate with third-party or internal systems."
"This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful."
"The most valuable feature is IDE."
"PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality, and some customers use it for its finance module."
"It is a complete HCM suite from hire to retire that streamlines business requirements."
"It is a good product, and it is suitable for different client requirements. It has customization options and flexibility. You can customize a report or configure the workflow based on your requirements. Everything is there in the product, and you can customize it as per your requirement. Our clients found the automation of the payroll, leave attendance, and onboarding modules the most valuable. The Time and Attendance module is fully integrated with this solution and supports multiple data entry modes, such as barcode, biometric device, fingerprints, and face reading. Its core HR module includes features like movement, expense management, exit, and separation. The compensation and benefits module includes features like welfare, retirement, and superannuation. It also has analytical tools. You can create a real-time report based on your requirements. You can also publish that report in different formats, such as Excel, PDF, HTML, etc. It has a chatbot feature, which is using machine learning and natural language. You can ask questions about your leave balance, attendance, or things like that, and you will get an immediate reply from the chatbot. It also supports approval through email."
"Ramco HCM stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements."
"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this 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."
"Payroll processing is very easy. SQL rules can be attached to any pay elements."
"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."
"For anyone in the Middle East, I would strongly recommend this solution over SuccessFactors or Workday as the payroll feature is very much localized for the region and it supports all the business requirements without any additional modification."
 

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."
"Tools and UI could be enhanced."
"Mobility isn’t the greatest."
"It would be helpful for the end-user if the reports were customized. They would be able to select the fields while generating their reports."
"I would like to see a better UI."
"Technical support's gotten weaker over the years."
"There are load also issues with OSB, and it doesn't provide logs."
"An area for improvement would be that it's quite difficult to learn how to use this product, and the documentation provided isn't helpful in giving you practical advice."
"One area for improvement in Ramco HCM is its UI, which could be more intuitive. Another area for improvement in the system is that it can be challenging to make some modular-based changes to it."
"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."
"The talent management and performance appraisal modules could use some improvement."
"The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically."
"Ramco could be a bit faster and offer more use cases. A prime aim is to get analytics and this is lacking in Ramco."
"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."
"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."
