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Reliable and loaded with features, but the UI is outdated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 Ramco HCM looks outdated and is not as intuitive as it should be.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 feature of PeopleSoft is the functionality that allows the ability to find all the data about employees that are needed."
"I like the speed of the processing and how easy it is to use."
"Once you get the feel of it and learn how to use it, the ease of use and performance are the most valuable features."
"Its user interface is impressive."
"The customizations allow us to come up with a lot of complex labor rules. In the Philippines, there's a lot of different kinds of rules you need to be in compliance with. The solution offers up a lot of flexibility and customization that is perfect for our region's requirements."
"The user interface that I use is very intuitive, it’s to the point of what I want to use it for."
"Having a complete enterprise solution where all the reporting is in our own centralized system is great."
"Very stable in terms of performance and scalability."
"Ramco HCM stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory 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."
"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"Payroll processing is very easy. SQL rules can be attached to any pay elements."
"Ramco HCM is a stable system that doesn't have downtime or fluctuation issues. It can also take large volumes and scale up very fast."
"Ramco delivers value for a simple straight out-of-the-box solution."
"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."
 

Cons

"One of the areas that could improve is the capability of utilizing mobile for some of the self-service activities that are missing. They are running on the older platform. What is happening is people are focusing on the cloud. PeopleSoft is a good provider and should into the cloud. That could be an advantage for them. Customers would not have to go find another solution that is a completely different platform that has different functionality altogether."
"Often support just asks people to install a lot of upgrades. Sometimes they don't really give you clear details as to why you need to upgrade. They just say, "You need to upgrade this because there's a newer image, etc". They never really give you the reason underlying why you are having errors."
"There are many areas in this product that can be improved, especially in regards to the EPM side since they have different products doing that."
"We struggle with release notes."
"The problem we have is the customization. We've gone a bit overboard with customization. That’s problematic during upgrades, which is a common problem with PeopleSoft."
"The turnaround time is a little long."
"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"This is an area I would warn others about. I've worked on several implementations and there's a long period of time within which PeopleSoft needs to be implemented."
"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."
"The product itself sometimes feels inconsistent because it comes with bugs."
"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."
"There were so many bugs in the older releases."
"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."
"I would like to see the flexibility to create reports suitable to the company because the standard reports from Ramco are so conservative."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check all options before a decision is made."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"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."
"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."
"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."
"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."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"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."
"This solution is priced in the middle compared to other solutions on the market."
"Their customized solution is pretty expensive but much cheaper than its competitors."
