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Reliable and loaded with features, but the UI is outdated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 Ramco HCM looks outdated and is not as intuitive as it should be.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

"HR/payroll is integrated with Financials, so we don't have to enter data in two places."
"The new version of this solution is very scalable."
"I like the speed of the processing and how easy it is to use."
"The support I have received from PeopleSoft has been excellent."
"This is a good product and I recommend it, although it depends on the use case for the business."
"PeopleSoft is a stable solution and it has a lot of functionality."
"The synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner."
"In general, this solution is user-friendly and also performs well."
"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."
"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 stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Ramco HCM's performance management system is really good and supports assessments, appraisals, and more."
 

Cons

"From an administration perspective, I think Oracle needs more clarity on their road map as to where they are going to improve the product."
"Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it."
"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution needs to work on its mobile technology."
"The product is not intuitive, and finding the right candidate can be arduous."
"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."
"In my opinion, it needs more performance, maybe something technical related, because it's very slow for us and even small activities take a while."
"We've had to build all our data warehouses and datamarts in order for PeopleSoft to do the detailed reporting that we need."
"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 talent management and performance appraisal modules could use some improvement."
"The mobile app and web page user experience could be more user friendly."
"I would say that there is a lot of room for improvement. They should improve their consistency; 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."
"The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically."
"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 product itself sometimes feels inconsistent because it comes with bugs."

"Mostly yearly payments are to be made toward licensing costs. It is not much of an expensive solution."

"The tool is expensive."
"PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee."
"This solution is priced in the middle compared to other solutions on the market."
