Decades of use have delivered secure, customizable control for public sector operations and finance
I have just completed three assessments: one on inventory demand planning, another on using artificial intelligence to bring supplier contracts in portable document format directly into PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft works both internally as well as with third-party products that integrate seamlessly with PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft operates both from a need-to-know-only basis as well as being able at the same time to do group purchase and realize large quantity purchase discounts. My clients have used marketplaces, and it is really industry-specific whether they use one or not, or if there is even one available. I would rate this product nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Scales up very well."
"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"It is a customizable product; we can customize it based on our needs, which is one of the features that I like about PeopleSoft, and as far as financial accounting is concerned, the user interface is very good and you can also configure Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
"The support I have received from PeopleSoft has been excellent."
"The allocation tool is probably the most valuable feature for us in PeopleSoft."
"The most valuable feature for us is the integration between the HR Payroll and Financials modules."
"A valuable feature is FSCM."
"I love Oracle support."
"Technical support is excellent."
"The ability to have a whole system with SilkRoad works well, as we can manage most of the functions of an HR department."
"Simple to use Easy setup Cloud-based Easy foundation setup (companies, locations, employee data, etc.) Employees can log in from any internet browser No local installation and support is required."
 

Cons

"More/better reporting tools and ease of testing effort."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"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."
"PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems."
"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."
"PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration."
"It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development."
"We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."
"I think the ATS should be able to auto-generate a decline letter when you move thru dispositions or when you close a requisition."
"The product is designed for smaller companies, so scalability is an issue."
"The setup was straightforward while working with the implementation team. However, it was time consuming."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"The solution is priced per module."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
"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."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
