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Reliable and loaded with features, but the UI is outdated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 Ramco HCM looks outdated and is not as intuitive as it should be.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 feature that I have found most valuable is having the sources so that you're able to adapt the product to your needs."
"I often say that PeopleSoft's greatest feature is how customizable it is."
"The customization and catering to our specific needs have helped, with obvious benefits as the streamlining process is accelerating and it aids me from an auditing perspective since it's all system-driven and cannot be altered."
"It's great for helping users deal with their supply chain."
"PeopleSoft is well integrated and has excellent tools to enhance or amend according to business practices."
"There are several new features in the PeopleSoft tool set that I've found particularly valuable, such as grid control and related actions."
"I've worked with HR, payroll, benefits, time and labor, health and safety, and every module. I've also worked on different modules for the education, health, and financial sectors. My 25 years of experience cover different industries and implementations. I've also worked in the public sector, which is a bit different. I implemented PeopleSoft for the state of Massachusetts, covering 168 schools, colleges, and universities."
"The most valuable feature is that it's wide and broad and it does about everything anybody needs in a major organization from a back-office systems point of view."
"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."
"Ramco HCM stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements."
"The performance management system is really good."
"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 HCM's performance management system is really good and supports assessments, appraisals, and more."
"In general, the solution is very flexible and can be configured in multiple ways."
"It is a complete HCM suite from hire to retire that streamlines business 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."
 

Cons

"PeopleSoft lacks integration capabilities."
"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."
"I would like to see a better UI."
"Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework."
"First-level support is poor, but second-level support has been fantastic."
"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."
"Reporting was our biggest challenge that was not "delivered" by PeopleSoft."
"The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved."
"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 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 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 and web page user experience could be more user friendly."
"There were so many bugs in the older releases."
"Ramco could be a bit faster and offer more use cases. A prime aim is to get analytics and this is lacking in Ramco."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"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."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"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."
"Their customized solution is pretty expensive but much cheaper than its competitors."
