Pros The Oracle system is an excellent tool to comply with organizational processes. It is very important to keep the organizational structure in order and to ensure that when making a movement within the structure the changes are made as accurately as possible without affecting the business in any way. Cons I do not consider that the Oracle system has disadvantages, it is necessary to have an administrator who knows the regulations so that no changes are made without authorization. It is a system that allows you to do everything related to the entry and exit of personnel as well as all the movements of promotions and transfers. Review Source AO Anthony O. HRBP Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Peoplesoft Review " January 1, 2024 5.0 Pros It was easy to use and an HRMS system. It was straight forward. Cons Right now it seems Peoplesoft is outdated. Systems like Workday is the state of the art now. Switched from [Workday HCM](https://www.capterra.com/p/66908/Workday-HCM/) For streamlining with other functions such as finance, supply chain Review Source JD Jacob D. Assistant Athletic Director Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awful - get something else!" July 5, 2025 1.0 Awful. No assistance from support, incredibly unfriendly for us as managers and doesn’t give you the ability to manage via mobile with ease. Pros Nothing - PeopleSoft is incredibly difficult to use, and the user interface is absolutely not mobile friendly. Cons Everything - if we could switch HR management tools, I would beg of it and promptly fight for that switch. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Academic Advisor Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable and robust" July 18, 2025 5.0 I have found PeopleSoft to be a reliable tool as a higher education employee. The HR functions work very well, and the favorites and search bars help remedy any UI path concerns. PeopleSoft has been reliable and we have found it to work well. Pros We have used Oracle PeopleSoft as the basis for our system for at least 15 years. It has been used as student-facing software as well as for HR purposes. It has been adaptable to a higher education setting and has generally been very reliable. Cons There can be a learning curve to using PeopleSoft and there are some paths to pages that aren’t the most intuitive. The favorites function works well to remedy this. I have seen some downtime during peaks of traffic, but this could be with well-over 20,000 users logging into the network at once. I am unsure as to the architecture, of the set up, so this may actually be more of a local server issue within our system. Review Source PO Panmwa O. Finance Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PeopleSoft is a usable software " May 11, 2025 4.0 Sometimes daunting, but once you’ve mastered it and know what you want to do, what report you want to generate, what process you want to automate then you are halfway through Pros I like the fact that I can generate multiple reports and automate many processes Cons Customising takes a lot of time and effort , the information is not always easily understood. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Data Analyst Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great but outdated" August 11, 2025 4.0 Overall satisfied, I was able to self teach myself the functionality of it for what I use it for on a daily basis. Pros Great product for large companies and very user friendly. My team uses it most for audits and reporting. Cons The product is a little outdated, there are other newer applications similar to this one and I know my company is starting to make a transition. Review Source TC TAYLOR C. ADMIN ASSISTANT Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ORACLE PEOPLESOFT REVIEW" July 15, 2025 5.0 ORACLE PEOPLESOFT HAS NOT ONLY HELP WITH MY BUSINESS BUT IT HAS ALSO HELPED IN MY PERSONAL LIFE AS WELL. Pros I LOVE ALL THE FUNCTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE AND HOW USER FRIENDLY THEY ARE. I FEEL THAT ANYONE WOULD BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE ORACLE. Cons I WOULDNT SAY THERE WAS ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR THAT I DISLIKED BUT IF I HAD TO CHOOSE ONE THING THAT I LIKED THE LEAST IT WOULD BE THE OVERWHELMING OPTIONS. Review Source Deepali D. Software Development Analyst Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Peoplesoft is a ERP tool which make easy organization work." August 5, 2018 3.0 it helps to make organization work easy. Pros I have done work on peopleosoft financial as developer .Oracle has given almost everything in ERP. What is good in this tool it make easy to track any organization work.Good thing is it makes easy to understand application for both i.e for developer and for client because both knows the functional of application so client easily can tell what is exact their requirement and as developer knows about ERP so for them it is easy to do changes what exact client want.For any organization it helps to reduce extra cost and time on organization finance system or HR system because Peopesoft ERP handle everything. Cons it is very old ERP now I prefer to select workday or fusion over peoplsoft because they have lot of new features which make easy to understand ERP but in peoplesoft it is little bit time taking process to understand functional. Many bugs you will get and for them Oracle has not given any patches in new release. Review Source Jonathon C. Accountant - Sponsored Project Accountant Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Peoplesoft is not the most user friendly" January 23, 2019 3.0 I work in the university and we use this system in order to process invoices in the system and send invoices out in a timely fashion to our customers in order to receive payments. The benefits that I see from this system is that there are many queries that you can write into the system in order to become more efficient resolving issues. Pros I like that there is much that you can do on it in order to manage the business needs of an office. There are many links and tools that can be used on this software from processing invoices to creating queries to help be more efficient, to being able to do checks out of the system. Cons The system works way too slow. Its a slow system that makes it difficult to be productive at work. Sometime it takes me 15 - 20 minutes just to process one invoice which is way too long with the high volume of invoices I have to process. Review Source Sabrina Y. Department Business Administrator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Decent product by a leading provider" December 3, 2019 3.0 Overall it is a decent product, there are some inefficiencies within the program; however, I believe this could be fixed based on the buildout for the organization and what developers identify is needed. Pros One of the main features I love about this product is the development of reports and queries. It also allows reports to be exported into various formats as well. Cons Some of the processes within the program are redundant. Requesting information can be a bit inefficient because the program requests various steps to produce one report or functionality within the system. Switched from [Ellucian Student](https://www.capterra.com/p/171158/Banner-Finance/) More efficient platform. Review Source CW Chelsey W. Project Manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Oracle PeopleSoft for All the People" July 30, 2025 5.0 Overall it's been positive. Sometimes the rumors affect the overall thought of the program but it all comes down to the user. Pros The value for the money and customer support is phenomenal. The ease of use is outstanding compared to other products. Cons The only con I have is they can sometimes be aggressive and potentially unethical sales tactics that have been floating around in conversation. Review Source ME Madison E. Quality Improvement Consultant Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I'm thankful my company uses Oracle PeopleSoft!" November 4, 2024 5.0 I've enjoyed using Oracle PeopleSoft for the past 2 years. Having easy access to tax documents, paychecks, and health enrollment information has been extremely helpful as an employee. Pros Using Oracle PeopleSoft is such a breeze. This website is extremely user-friendly and easily accessible from multiple platforms. I enjoy the animated icons, step-by-step guides to health benefit enrollment, and direct deposit process. Cons Honestly, nothing comes to mind! I thoroughly enjoy using Oracle Peoplesoft. Review Source JM Jenny M. Brand Director Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I used PeopleSoft for nearly 4 years at my last job at an advertising agency." April 26, 2018 3.0 Pros 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.). Cons 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. Review Source BM Bonnie M. instructor Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PeopleSoft" August 29, 2018 4.0 I have used PeopleSoft (PS) since 2005 and in various positions/capacities at two different institutions. I've worked through three major upgrades, two HR/CMS splits, and COUNTLESS bundles and test runs. I've used helped design brand new pages, update/upgrade/improve the information and functionality of existing pages, created security tables, granted users access, entered data, and manipulated/created other data so that others could query that data for their needs. I've trained dozen of faculty and staff how to navigate through PS and how to use PS to access needed data and/or run pre-formatted queries and reports. It is robust database management system and I could not do my job without it! Pros I've used PeopleSoft both in what some would call the "vanilla" version, and also a "modified" to fit the specific needs of the organization, and/or department level version. What impresses me is that it is just that - modifiable, and can be programmed (if you have the people and know-how) to program it to do what you need. Being able to query data from many different tables can really save time and effort, which in turn saves manpower hours/money. Cons It's a silly wish, but I wish PeopleSoft allowed the users to change the color of their individual display and settings - like the color of the background, or the size and type and color of font. I'm sure there's a way to do it, but it is managed by the SUPER Administrative users and "powers that be".... and it's probably an all or nothing kind of thing. I'm in the program 8 hours a day, and all that WHITE background and tiny font...let me jazz it up and make it my own like MS allows.

Pros Many functions combined to make it a great software. We use the following, Supply Chain Management, Revenue Management, Financial Management and Human Capital Management. All these functions work nicely together, being able to transfer information from one platform to another. The system response is fast, although there are many users who are using it and running reports at the same time. Reports are easy to run and can be customized in any of the platforms. The IT people have done a great job to keep the system online and functioning to its best. The best thing is being able to Log in once, and from there, you're able to submit an expense claim, search for a job, submit a vacation request, etc. The software can handle anything. Cons New users face a hard time to understand the many functions. There are many links/options that makes it tough to get the information needed without investing the time to understand what every function does. Where too many clicks are needed to get to where you want to be.

Since am from FPA industry, any kind of questions regarding the upward or downward movements of revenue , expenses etc could be answered easily using the data we can download from this application. Variety of domains can be handled, for eg:- i have used the same app in IT as well as in Finance. So its a dynamic one. Easy adaptability Pros Any journal transaction can be easily queried for details using multiple key fields. Data handling is very easy, also there is option for custom made query according to our requirements Cons Huge data download takes sometime and it can be fully downloaded only through email options. Limitation of transaction lines in direct download Review Source LM Lee M. Program Coord. E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PEOPLESOFT" November 30, 2018 5.0 I started off using a DOS mainframe system until we upgraded to PeopleSoft. It was almost like comparing apples to oranges, but now I see it is really like comparing mandarin oranges to big, juicy naval oranges! Pros I think one of the best features about PeopleSoft is its ability to manage large amounts of data/records. I’ve been using it now for over a decade and it can do so much more now than it could 10 years ago. I also love being able to find data using queries. If you have someone who knows how to write queries in PeopleSoft there isn’t anything you can’t find – if it has a header Field you can find it – it might take a few JOINs to get at the data, but it’s doable! Cons One of the things that I like least about PeopleSoft is it isn’t very intuitive sometimes. I know it is a database system and I know that it is a hierarchy database system, but sometimes it just seems like the navigation to get to a particular page or record is less than logical.

Price wise, I'm not happy with Oracle People soft. Pros 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. Cons Some issue with the reporting dashboard and integration with another application. Review Source JP Jennifer P. Administrative Assistant II Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Web-based programming for processing requisitions and purchase orders and HR tracking." September 8, 2020 4.0 My company uses this program for requesting and processing purchase orders among other things. We also use the HR features for tracking employees and classes. It's easy to use, if not totally user friendly. There are some areas that it is not completely intuitive, but otherwise it definitely gets the job done. It doesn't run a smooth as it should on some browser versions, but works well enough. The only thing I would love to see incorporated would be the option to use hot keys or even "Alt" keys. Pros This program is easy to use. There are search functions that help find what you are looking for. And there is a dashboard area that lets you know right away if there is something that needs your attention. Cons The HR part of the software is not very user intuitive. The options to choose can get fairly confusing. The program doesn't work well with all version of my browser. I have learned to deal with the quirks the program on my browser.

The customization features are excellent" March 14, 2018 5.0 It helped manage employee profiles, benefits, talent, and performance management. Pros 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. Cons This product is primarily for bigger organizations, which means that the cost is too expensive for the smaller companies.
