PeopleSoft Reviews

I like the speed of the processing and how easy it is to use.

I would like to see it become available again in Mexico. 

I have been using PeopleSoft for the past twenty years.

PeopleSoft is very stable.

PeopleSoft is scalable and we use it with different sizes of servers.  We currently have around one hundred users.

Technical support is not very good and needs improvement in the area of speed in responding to issues.

PeopleSoft has a yearly maintenance fee.

PeopleSoft is a really good product and I would rate it a nine out of ten.

For most of PeopleSoft's functionalities, everything is related to finance, to manufacturing, to service, and to sales and sales opportunities. The broad scope for most of the year includes these functionalities.

The feature that I have found most valuable is having the sources so that you're able to adapt the product to your needs. That was a big benefit. Then, when we chose Oracle, it was also for the graphical interface, which was already uploaded at that time. These are the two big advantages.

The area that could be improved is the upgrade process, it's not the easiest. Oracle stopped supporting our version. So we have to move either to the cloud or work in a non-supported situation. That was certainly a disadvantage. That's also the reason why we decided not to stay with Oracle. Now we are moving to SAP.

We have been using PeopleSoft for almost 10 year now.

Once the setup is done and it's tuned, it is very stable.

It is not that difficult to scale it. If you work in a virtualized environment it is easy to scale. You just have to add a CPU and memory and reboot the thing, and you have the necessary performance. In a RAC environment, you add another member in your cluster, and then you have more performance.

Technical support for the database, for the Linux environment, and for the virtualization layer, is great. However, for the functional PeopleSoft support, we were not that happy. The first thing they say is, "you have to upgrade to the next version, and if the problem is still there, please call us again." That was a little bit difficult. We weren't satisfied with the functional support. For the database, for the virtualization platform, and for the Linux, that was very good.

The initial setup is rather complex, depending on what you want. If you want to set up a RAC environment, then it's more complex and you need additional hardware. You need a skilled Oracle DBA. If you keep it to a single INSERT, it's simpler.

We have an enterprise agreement, which is great because you don't have to look to the number of users every year. You have to send the results of the company to Oracle, and depending on the limits that were defined in the contract by module, you see if you exceeded those limits or that you stayed within them. Then you have to buy additional products and support. It is a flexible model, but it only goes up. So if you come during a more difficult period, like last year with Corona, it never goes down.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give PeopleSoft an eight.

To raise that score they would have to improve the upgrade path to the cloud.

The advice I would give to others who are looking into implementing PeopleSoft is to go directly for the cloud product. Don't do it on-prem. Go directly for the cloud product.

This is primarily used as a business system.

The time system is what we get the most benefit from.

We needed to do a lot of integration with third-party applications in order to get the functionality that we needed.

The API integration could be better.

I have been working with PeopleSoft for more than ten years.

We have experienced a couple of bugs while working with PeopleSoft.

We have been in touch with technical support and feel that it was good, keeping in mind the scope. They do not support third-party applications, but for what they are responsible for, it is good.

The initial setup was straightforward and didn't give us any trouble. However, when we had to integrate many other modules, it was an extensive process.

This is a good product and I recommend it, although it depends on the use case for the business. There are advantages and disadvantages and you need to consider the objective. On this basis, every organization measures differently, but I definitely recommend it. That said, there is no perfect product.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Our primary use case is for HCM. It has very few clicks before getting data. Reporting is easy to retrieve, both ad-hoc and fixed reports. There can be more visualization. 

Productivity has improved. It provides HR Professionals with easy input of data and dashboard reporting. ESS and MSS save time for HR. The pushing of learning materials and performance management helps to increase effectiveness and responsiveness. 

The recruiting is most valuable. It saves time in having easy and fast applicants tracking as well as candidates' contact plus pipeline management. Parsing of CVs is productive but accuracy can be improved. 

Reporting is easy to create, even for complex ones. Visualization is almost nonexistent and can be improved. It's good to be able to eport to PDF and excel with fast timing.

I have been using PeopleSoft for two years. 

The most valuable feature of PeopleSoft Procurement is the completely end-to-end integration of the procurement process. From the time you set up the master data information and set up the contracts, you are able to create transactions.

• Visibility on spend. Spend is one of the big factors; it's your bottom line.
• A lot of compliance; all the audit information, like when you do the transactions.

There should be more analytics, monitoring analytics, and also machine learning should be incorporated into the core product. Right now, machine learning is outside of the ERP domain; bring machine learning into the domain.

It's pretty stable.

Scalability is pretty good.

When we get technical support from Oracle, as far as the response is concerned, we are pleased. Based on the SLA, we get a response back. It also depends on the fix. If the fix is available, we get that response back. If it's a bug, it takes longer. We don't know how long it's going to be or how long it's going to take to fix the bug.

We looked at Ariba.

We decided to go with PeopleSoft because of the functionality and its ability to integrate not only procurement, but also with the finance and the HRMS.

It's a pretty user-friendly product. It's intuitive. You can figure a lot of things out on your own.

We use PeopleSoft as our ERP system. It is used for everything we do except for work order management, property tax revenue, and community service management. We had to use other systems for these applications.

It provides a very stable platform for us to support key applications. These include Procure to Pay, HR/Payroll, AP/AR, Fixed Asset and Financial Reporting etc. The BI component of PeopleSoft is lacking.

The integration between Human Capital Management (HCM) and PeopleSoft is an important feature, especially after seeing so many stand-alone HR/Payroll systems.

Once you get the feel of it and learn how to use it, the ease of use and performance are the most valuable features. It processes everything very quickly.

Because it's so fast, we're able to work much more efficiently.

It needs a better interface on the financial side because there have been more improvements to the RMS interface than the financial one.

We've been using it at the organization since 1996.

We've had no issues with deployment.

It's been stable. We've had no issues with instability.

As far as I know, we haven't had issues with scalability.

I'm a test engineer, so I don't deal with Oracle technical support. If I find anything that's not working, I hand it over to our developers. But I haven't hear any issues they've had with technical support not providing answers.

It takes some time in order to set it up and to implement, make changes, and deploy it to our users.

How you use it will depend on the size of your organization and the number of transactions you do on your backend. If you have a small shop, there are other more suitable ERP solutions on the market that you can implement quicker.

The most valuable feature is IDE.

It offers faster deployment.

I would like to see improvement in the UI.

We have been using this for 20 years.

I did not encounter any issues with deployment.

There were no issues with stability.

The setup was complex due to different components.
