Oracle PeopleSoft Reviews

The employee information and details get consolidated into one system.
Tracking time attendance, overtime became is easy and clear.
Can be integrated with the payroll system
The system is reliable and works seamlessly on Oracle servers.
The database is highly secure.

Customizing the software to fit the requirements of the HR department took over a year.
The support contract is expensive.

It allow the ability to resolved a issue on a charge by drilling down and not just from system to system . No running around in search of a paper copy of a invoice . Save so much time.

It was acquired by Oracle and the my employer switch to Oracle 10.7 and lost those abilities for a period of time.

I like that there's such a wide breadth of what can be accomplished within PeopleSoft time sheets, expense reports, financial reports, PTO portals, opening job numbers for projects and much, much more. I like that our company used it as a main medium for so many different things. It's much easier when things are centralized in one platform.

Once you know how to use PeopleSoft, it can be one of your best friends. It can be a guiding tool to help better so many departments of a company. It helped me understand the ins and outs and track financials of projects much more vividly than I'd be able to otherwise. My most productive and proactive days at my old job included getting the most out of PeopleSoft and checking in on all of my various jobs (financials, open / close statuses, new jobs, etc.).

PeopleSoft is not user friendly until it's knocked into your head. I was given a manual when I started working at my old company and I had to reference this manual for literally years until it became second nature. There are too many steps and too many clicks to get to the finish line in nearly any task on PeopleSoft. And you have to know what buttons to press to yield a certain result. There are no guides to help you along the way. If you don't have a manual from someone at your job in your SPECIFIC position, you will undoubtedly be lost for a long time. The buttons to press are jibberish, honestly. Often times the buttons you need to press to get to the next page during a process of a task are just random numbers or random letters. I got so used to the program so I knew exactly what to press and when to press it but it took a very long time to get to that point. Even when I did, though, I found the program tedious and overly time consuming.

There is a lot of functionality. You can manage people on every level, from hiring to retirement and everything in between.

There are a lot of modules that you can. Depending on your technology level, it can be easy to use or very difficult. You need the right staff that are properly trained.

What I enjoyed most about this software, was again; the user-interface. Allowing me to upload back up spreadsheets for review.

The least thing I valued about this software, was the look. Maybe at the time that I used this; but it seemed very mundane. Lack of colors and dialog boxes!

I like that you get to use the whole screen and save your favorite pathways. The ease of saving and the ability to change the title so you remember what it is.

I don’t like how we have to go to so many screens to see all the information for a student. I wish you could pull up the student and see everything.

Back in the day, PeopleSoft was among the most robust HR systems around. Still today it can be incredibly robust though it tends to be more outdated than other solutions available now.

Although Oracle still says they are committed to PeopleSoft for the foreseeable future, they are pumping way more money into their other HR solutions and spending less and less on development and bug fixes for PeopleSoft. While you can report on pretty much anything you want, the built in reporting/query capability is clunky at best, especially when you compare it to some of the newer HR systems (including other Oracle products).

It is a fairly simple software used for inputting worked hours, maintaining job information, completing performance evaluations, etc. The software does what we need it to do.

Software is very out dated, and is not incredibly intuitive upon initial training and use.

Once you get the hang of it is not as bad, it has many functions can build many reports.

Sometimes it can be slow takes time to build reports.

My former organization used PeopleSoft to manage our student population. The software easily allowed us to track students through their life-cycles at the university. Additionally, we enjoyed the ability to track our alumni and keep a database of their current areas, using them for donations in the future.

Despite having great features, this software is a little more challenging to learn. However, Oracle does provide some excellent training videos online and their conference gives an even more in-depth look at the product.

PeopleSoft happens to be in the market since early 1990s and is one of the most used and most reliable ERP product available in the market. With the constant updates from Oracle and impactful Oracle support you are never going to face any grey days with your application. It have very stable customisation options and can be used for wide range of users. HCM, HRMS, Finance are the most reliable modules available with PeopleSoft. Also with the recent versions of PeopleSoft, support for the Cloud is also been introduced with PeopleSoft which makes it more usable and easy to deploy.

Old technology
Old User interface
Less availability of experienced resources in the market.
No clear end of life date from Oracle
Costly updates

Its out of box functionality which is best in class. Abilities to customize the pages and based on business processes

Nothing thats is lacking in the project. Just it not the colud product

This software is very useful for people inside the production!

It is somehow traditional. But could be improved.

I have used Oracle Peoplesoft for 4-5 years and find this very good and easy to use. There are many modules we can use as per out business requirements.

Some issue with the reporting dashboard and integration with another application.

Being able to customize this product has made setting it up for my company simple and easy. The administration of the product is not too complicated for most individuals. This product is also great for the managers to keep track of their employees.

This product is primarily for bigger organizations, which means that the cost is too expensive for the smaller companies.

This program contains a large database and has been reliable for years. We use this daily and it's one of the most used software at the University.

It's difficult to navigate if you don't know what you're doing. Firstime users may find it to be a bit complex.

One of the best ERP product where we can customize the system however we want. HCM, Finanace and CRM all are present in peoplesoft

Upgrade the peoplesoft version is very expensive and maintaining the customizing is painful process

Does everything! Human resources, accounting, great report function and integrates with so many other system, a very very good business solution

You have to purchase the custom solution the stock while cheaper can really set you back in additional time and frustration so to properly use be prepared to spend

It's really easy to batch invoices, edit invoices and delete vouchers as well. Dealing with GL and run it's quite simple and it import to excel, to do journals and posting is all in a linked excel with the software which is great as well.

It takes a bit of time and practice to get used to it. Some of the functions are quite complex and you definitely need training to learn how to use, then it gets quite organic...
