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Reliable and loaded with features, but the UI is outdated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 Ramco HCM looks outdated and is not as intuitive as it should be.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 most valuable features most important to me are the web solution, the web interface, and the integration with other ECM products."
"There are several new features in the PeopleSoft tool set that I've found particularly valuable, such as grid control and related actions."
"It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features."
"PeopleSoft FSCM provides for order management, SCM, human capital management, and CRM, making it a comprehensive ERP system compared to others."
"PeopleSoft automatically generates code, making it easier to integrate with third-party or internal systems."
"The recruiting is most valuable, as it saves time in having easy and fast applicants tracking as well as candidates' contact plus pipeline management."
"With the way that my agency uses PeopleSoft, the most valuable feature of it is the ability it gives us to track our contracts and the release against those contracts."
"The most valuable feature of PeopleSoft Procurement is the completely end-to-end integration of the procurement process."
"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"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 delivers value for a simple straight out-of-the-box solution."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"Regarding technical support, they often discourage using PeopleSoft and push for Oracle. Many support staff are offshore and don't understand the system well."
"The UI and user experience are not great, and it's not as feature-rich as today's systems. Furthermore, our implementation does not include all the components we need, like payroll or some other functions."
"Mobility is an area that has evolved a lot in recent years at PeopleSoft, so I think it would be an area of product improvement."
"I would like to see better support, bug fixing, and documentation."
"There are a couple of areas for improvement, including better overall performance as well as an even quicker update process so that we have as minimal downtime as possible."
"Areas that need improvement are the add-ons to the fluid pages and additional features in SCM and finance, both functionally and technically."
"Initial setup can be complex without training or use of consultants."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see the flexibility to create reports suitable to the company because the standard reports from Ramco are so conservative."
"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 and web page user experience could be more user friendly."
"They can improve the configuration time because it takes more time than other products to configure the system."
"The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically."
"The mobile app for this solution could be improved as it lacks many features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check all options before a decision is made."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
"It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."

"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."
"Their customized solution is pretty expensive but much cheaper than its competitors."
