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Reliable and loaded with features, but the UI is outdated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 Ramco HCM looks outdated and is not as intuitive as it should be.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

"What I like is that we can have multiple web services created and multiple consumers can use them together without any interruption or downtime."
"I would recommend the solution. It's very stable and scalable, which makes it a reliable solution."
"The PeopleSoft interface is very good."
"The allocation tool is probably the most valuable feature for us in PeopleSoft."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We're able to do far better data collection using CRM; far better than anything we had in the past."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this product is the HR suite; it is the leading vendor for human resources in the market, so for me, the HR and payroll features are the biggest flagship of the PeopleSoft product."
"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"In general, the solution is very flexible and can be configured in multiple ways."
"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."
"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."
"It is a complete HCM suite from hire to retire that streamlines business requirements."
"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."
"Payroll processing is very easy. SQL rules can be attached to any pay elements."
 

Cons

"There are some small things I'd like changing, but the big thing that needs work is their technical support."
"The biggest disadvantage with things like PeopleSoft is that they do continuous support and fixes and upgrades. You get to choose when you want to implement that upgrade. However, in order to keep up, you have to upgrade."
"My advice to those thinking about implementing this solution is it is a dying technology."
"The quality of service has gone down after Oracle took over and this can be restored, and scope for online search could be improved."
"Tools and UI could be enhanced."
"Technical support's gotten weaker over the years."
"I would like to see improvement in the UI."
"PCM, the procurement side, is weak and is far from the strongest product."
"The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically."
"I would like to see the flexibility to create reports suitable to the company because the standard reports from Ramco are so conservative."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced per module."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"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."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"This solution offers annual licensing. We pay per user."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"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."
