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Reliable and loaded with features, but the UI is outdated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 Ramco HCM looks outdated and is not as intuitive as it should be.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

"This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful."
"The solution allows us to explore the databases and enables people to properly develop their work."
"This solution has the potential of making life easier, so it is just a question of adaptation to it."
"PeopleSoft has been fairly reliable for us. We haven't had any issues with stability."
"The most valuable feature for us is the integration between the HR Payroll and Financials modules."
"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."
"The technical support is very robust and I am satisfied with it."
"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."
"In general, the solution is very flexible and can be configured in multiple ways."
"The performance management system is really good."
"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."
"Payroll processing is very easy. SQL rules can be attached to any pay elements."
"It is a complete HCM suite from hire to retire that streamlines business requirements."
"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"Ramco delivers value for a simple straight out-of-the-box solution."
 

Cons

"We struggle with release notes."
"Regarding technical support, they often discourage using PeopleSoft and push for Oracle. Many support staff are offshore and don't understand the system well."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"The UI and appearance of People Soft needs a lot of upgrading and modernization."
"Initial setup can be complex without training or use of consultants."
"PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration."
"The Time and Labor module is not that flexible."
"I would like to see improvement in the UI."
"I would like to see the flexibility to create reports suitable to the company because the standard reports from Ramco are so conservative."
"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 entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically."
"The talent management and performance appraisal modules could use some improvement."
"The mobile app for this solution could be improved as it lacks many features."
"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."
"There were so many bugs in the older releases."
"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

"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"I would consider this to be an expensive product, but the quality justifies it."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"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."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"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."
