PeopleSoft Reviews

Our company is using the PeopleSoft CRM for receiving data from different sources. For example, our employee management system database data.

Workday information will be stored in the PeopleSoft system. We will create some APAs, through those APA it's a third-party call to connect to the PeopleSoft systems.

PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems.

In the next release of PeopleSoft, they should provide multiple connectors to support the latest systems, such as connecting with the Mule and Kafka. Additionally, they should be more reliable.

I have been using PeopleSoft for approximately three years.

The stability of PeopleSoft is good.

PeopleSoft is scalable.

The support I have received from PeopleSoft has been excellent.

The initial setup of PeopleSoft is easy.

I rate PeopleSoft a four out of five.

PeopleSoft needs an implementor to properly implement the solution. However, once implemented then it is easy to use.

I rate PeopleSoft a seven out of ten.

PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality. Some customers use it for its finance module.

As a future improvement, this solution could be configuration-based for an easier setup. To fully customize this solution to implement core HR functionality would take eight to nine months.

This is a stable solution that has been on the market for many years. it was acquired by Oracle. 

This is a scalable solution. 

The implementation of PeopleSoft is quite complex and is not as easy as other cloud products such as SuccessFactor or Workday.

Annual subscriptions are offered from a pricing perspective. 

I would not recommend PeopleSoft over other solutions in the market that are easier to implement. 

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten. 

PeopleSoft is an HR management system.

The solution has benefited our organization, it has allowed us to be able to manage employees' information in the system.

PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it.

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.

The solution is not that effective for mobile devices.

I have been using PeopleSoft for approximately 10 years.

PeopleSoft is stable and reliable.

The scalability is good for PeopleSoft.

We have approximately 6,000 people using this solution.

This solution is being extensively being used in my organization and we will increase usage as needed.

The technical support is average.

I would rate the technical support of PeopleSoft a three out of five.

The implementation is not difficult. The full deployment takes approximately one year.

We used consultants for the implementation of the solution. The solution requires a fair bit of maintenance and we have a five to ten-person team that looks after it.

My advice to those thinking about implementing this solution is it is a dying technology. If anybody wants to implement something similar they should be looking for new systems.

Oracle is not investing much into PeopleSoft. They are not enhancing it. However, they are doing some kind of change but it's not significantly enough, which could significantly help their business users.

I rate PeopleSoft a seven out of ten.

PeopleSoft is our HR system. We used it for everything at my old company, including performance appraisal, leave application, employee, master database. This company only uses the performance management module, so we do goal-setting and appraisals through PeopleSoft. 

Mangement also plans to adopt the compensation module. They are currently only using a small part, but they want to use the full module.

Applications for employee leave used to be a problem. Now employees can check their own leave balances and apply for leave accordingly. The leave application automatically flows to the manager, and the manager can approve it also online. Employee performance appraisals are documented online, and past appraisals can be retrieved if needed. 

I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features.

I've been using PeopleSoft since 2011.

PeopleSoft is highly stable. They are still using the system.

Many businesses have been added, so PeopleSoft is highly scalable. We have 8,000 employees, but my previous company was a huge global organization with thousands upon thousands. 

Since I joined this organization, I haven't contacted Oracle support, but we implemented Oracle HRMS in my last company. This was back in 2005 or 2007. At the time, IBM was an implementation partner, and we interacted with Oracle's tech team. We went to Bangalore to meet them, and they were quite helpful.

I've worked for different companies, and each had its own ERP solution. My previous company was using Aramco, but they switched to Oracle. Then I another company with no HR system, so everything was manual, but they implemented SAP. 

I joined my current company in 2011, and they were using PeopleSoft, but they merged with another firm that was using SAP. Now we have a hybrid system. Some of our modules are SAP, and others are SuccessFactors or PeopleSoft. We're also using Cornerstone OnDemand for training, learning, and development. 

I rate PeopleSoft 10 out of 10. I think PeopleSoft is a good tool for HR administrators. It's easy to navigate compared to the other ERPs. The management of the tool is straightforward from the employee's perspective, so the employee experience is good. PeopleSoft is intuitive, so no one needs to be taught how to use the system. It's self-evident, like Facebook or Twitter. SAP is a little more technical, and you need to understand coding.

We use PeopleSoft for finance and HR. 

It's an old system, so we want to upgrade or move into Oracle Fusion or SAP. It's a little outdated. 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. We also have a hard time integrating multiple third-party systems. We are now looking for a platform that covers most of our requirements in a single integrated suite of products to facilitate implementation and use.

We've been using PeopleSoft for about 10 or 11 years. 

PeopleSoft has been fairly reliable for us. We haven't had any issues with stability.

PeopleSoft is scalable. We have 5,000 people in our organization, so we are not particularly large. It has been okay for our needs. 

We've had no issues with Oracle support. 

The new platform Oracle Fusion is much more comprehensive. It has a better user interface and all the components you need, including finance functions like cash and procurement and everything on the HR and CM side, so it's a far more integrated suite. So that's a viable option. At the moment, I don't think people are looking at PeopleSoft. They're looking look at Oracle and SAP. Workday is good from a CM perspective, and it's SAP or Oracle on the financial side.

I rate Oracle PeopleSoft five out of 10. Considering what we know and where the contemporary products are today, I wouldn't recommend PeopleSoft.

My primary use case is for global HR and payroll.

PeopleSoft is well integrated and has excellent tools to enhance or amend according to business practices. You are also provided with professional help, which means everything can be done without too much consulting. The product includes effective dating, numerous data analysis tools, even for big data, and self-service to handle pages, screens, development, and so on.

The most valuable features are the functionality to take care of HR and payroll needs, SQR and SQL tools, and good security.

An area for improvement would be PeopleSoft's global payroll capabilities, which could be easier to use. In the next release, I'd like to see multifactor authentication for self-service be added as an inbuilt feature.

I've worked with PeopleSoft for twenty years.

PeopleSoft is a solid product - no other HR package gives the same flexibility.

PeopleSoft scales up very well.

The initial setup is straightforward and can be completed quickly, though a totally new implementation may take a little longer.

This is one of the cheapest solutions available, and it's also one of the best.

PeopleSoft is easy to develop and maintain. I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for our payroll needs and in human resources. These are the areas in which I have expertise. 

I am acquainted with versions 8.8 and 9.2.

The solution allows us to explore the databases and enables people to properly develop their work. 

The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive. This presents an issue when it comes to tabulating the many tariffs which exist in Mexico. 

We find the technical support to be very difficult, as it is not local, and we tend to receive a response only the following morning. Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it. 

I have been working with PeopleSoft for the past 14 years. 

We have encountered no bugs or glitches with the solution. 

The solution is easy to scale, expand and make bigger. 

We find the technical support to be very difficult, as it is not local, and we tend to receive a response only the following morning. Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it.

Deployment takes a minimum of six months and I speak from the vantage point of someone who has a year-and-a-half of experience with my company, primarily in the area of implementation. 

The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive. This is an issue when it comes to tabulating the many tariffs which exist in Mexico.

The calculating of the taxes in Mexico is an issue which many companies face, as this must be done every two weeks. 

I would recommend the solution to others. 

I rate PeopleSoft as an eight out of ten. 

PeopleSoft is used for human capital management in my organization. It can manage a lot of business areas, such as payroll, time and labor, and absences.

The solution is very good and we have been using it for a very long time keeping us organized.

PeopleSoft is a good core system. It has a lot of functionality. They frequently update the solution and recently they have added some good enhancement features for higher education. We just switched to the new fluid interface and that is working very well for us. It is very good.

Employees can use PeopleSoft to input their time and their own absences. Additionally, they can look at their paychecks and configure their direct deposits.

PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration.

I have been using PeopleSoft for approximately 30 years.

The solution is very stable, it is a senior or mature solution.

PeopleSoft is scalable. We are decreasing employees versus increasing right now, but it has worked well for us. We are using the solution extensively in our organization. We plan to increase usage.

We have approximately 9,000 employees using the solution in my organization.

The product strategist from PeopleSoft is very good. I have not contacted the support myself but I have heard they are good.

We have used other systems in the past. The organization is a University and we have been here for a long time.

The initial implementation is complex. Everything is complex when you first start using a new system. If someone tells you it is not complex, they can not be telling the truth. However, the most recent upgrade from 9.1 to 9.2 was pretty good.

When we first implemented the solution we used consultants but recently we did the upgrade of the solution in-house. We saved a lot of money.

We have an IT team of four who do the maintenance, checkups, updates and patching. Additionally, they answer user help requests. We have an additional three or four developers and administrators that help out during projects.

We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately.

We did a complete evaluation of other solutions, such as cost and customer responses, and we determined PeopleSoft was best suited for us as a University.

PeopleSoft is a stable solution and it has a lot of functionality. Additionally, it has good product strategist and user input support.

I rate PeopleSoft a nine out of ten.

This solution is our primary HCM product. We use it for core HR, payroll benefits, time, labor, Regs, and Legs.

You can meet the business needs of any of our Stakeholders.

I love how easy it is to customize. I often say that PeopleSoft's greatest feature is how customizable it is.

We are in the process of migrating from PeopleSoft, Oracle HCM Cloud, and Taleo.

Their greatest challenge is how customizable it is because the more you customize, the more the total cost of ownership increases.

We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product. We chose Workday, and we are in the process of implementation.

I have been working with PeopleSoft since 1995.

We are using the most up-to-date version. 

PeopleSoft no longer has true versioning. They do PUM upgrades and we stay current with our PUM upgrades.

We have not experienced any issues with the stability of PeopleSoft.

PeopleSoft is a legacy product and I feel that they have effectively taken care of customers who want to stay on PeopleSoft. From that perspective it is scalable, but certainly not modern. It was created in the early 90s.

I refer to our business partners as clients but they are internal. I am their IT, strategy, and planning. I work with our business strategy teams for the technology enablement of their business needs.

We have 85,000 users.

Because it's on-premises, we don't rely on Oracle for support. We have our internal team for production support.

I am also using Oracle Taleo, Oracle HCM Cloud, and Ceridian.

Ceridian was a great product, but we made a company change and the new company used PeopleSoft. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

Oracle doesn't charge us for all of our customization's but we have an in-house development team that does the customization.

Given that it's a legacy product, there's not a lot of people who are looking to deploy PeopleSoft. We will be moving to a modern solution.

There are no additional features that I would recommend and that it is a legacy product.

Because it is not a modern tool, I would rate PeopleSoft a six out of ten. It was built on 1990s technology.

The primary use case of this solution is for HR, payroll, benefits, time and labor, e-pay, absence management, and position management.

Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market.

For HCM the editing criteria, especially for the time and labor section, the editing tool needs improvement. The 9.2 Time and Labor came with a lot of features. People didn't use them, instead, they used their own.

The financial interface should be optimized. It's not the best way to do an interface between HCR and financial. It runs like it was a patch job. In the past, the financial was separate and HCR was separate. When they came out with a new interface, people were too lazy to undo their current work.

Commitment accounting also needs improvement. 

If there is another release, they should look at going to mobile computing to stay competitive.

The solution is very stable, especially the payroll.

This solution is scalable.

If you know PeopleSoft, then the setup is straightforward.

If you go to the PeopleSoft education sector they make it complicated and people don't understand.

It's important to provide consultants with proper training. Often the implementation is completed incorrectly and they blame the solution. It's not the solution, rather it's the people who implemented it incorrectly. If it's not set up correctly then it will take the software forever.

The licensing depends on the number of people using it. The fees are based on the number of users you have and the number of features or options you require.

They can sell it based on the population. For example, if you have five thousand users they will charge a base amount per user. It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year.

It also depends on the size of your company. If your company is small then you can take a different licensing, such as a constant number. Or, if your company is growing and is dynamic then you would select the license for the number of users and the features you require.

It comes in bundles for HCM, which has HR, benefits, payroll, and time and labor. Whether you use all of these features or not, it's there for you.

To obtain a certified license as a consultant it will cost you a few thousand dollars. I don't believe in the licensing process. I was on a plane once and a woman was sitting next to me and she was completing her license online but she was on the phone asking her boyfriend for the answers to the questions asked. This is not a trustworthy or reliable way to obtain a license.

They also have a separate license for contract management, for people who do contract payroll.

It's important to know the product, but know the business, it's just as important.

Most are going with cloud solutions because they don't want the IT departments. When you go with the cloud, you have to accept it, you can't change it. Anytime there is a change you have to pay for customization and that is very expensive.

People should understand the features and the payroll policies to have it work correctly.

PeopleSoft had Canadian and US payroll tables in the same table and you have to know or remember to put the correct payroll code.

I don't believe in obtaining a license, it's about the working experience.

People are now interested in WorkDay, for mobile computing. 

WorkDay was initially put in place to replace PeopleSoft from the people who designed PeopleSoft. They aimed to replace PeopleSoft with WorkDay because they were upset that PeopleSoft sold. It was a hostile bid and they didn't want to sell but it got sold.

Peoplesoft has been in business since 1988, they are very mature.

Review the implementation of your existing software.

If you are looking for payroll software, PeopleSoft is a solid system.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
