Payroll Manager Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not bad but…" December 17, 2024 3.0 Its not bad but there are definitely better options Pros Based on how it was set up for our company, its not the best HR software, there definitely better options however, we use it as a global tool i.e US, Can, India. Its my first time using Peoplesoft and conpared to HR systems such as success factors, I find it’s a bit more complicated however, it could have been also due to how it was set up Cons Reporting, the updating is a little complicated i.e if you have backdated changes and there’s already a line with a later date, you would have to delete that line in order for the upload to work Review Source JH Jamon H. Director - Treasury Industrial Automation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Robust system for mid-size to large enterprises" December 7, 2024 4.0 Pros Robust system that can accommodate extremely high transactional volume Cons User interface lacks imagination, and is somewhat disconnected from normal business transaction flow 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 VR Verified Reviewer ACCOUNTS OFFICER Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Oracle People Soft. Best Accounting Package to buy." December 31, 2022 5.0 As this is a cloud based product, i didnot faced any issues with this product. initial startup requires proper learning and hands on, but as compared to other accounting packages, its quite proficient and easy to use. Pros It is like all under one roof. we can manage and review financial aspects, analyze our inventory tracking, rate our suppliers and can manage them easily,etc. etc. Cons Internet should be available all the times. Sometimes due to technical issues we can face serious problems. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Academic Advisor Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Oracle PeopleSoft: Leaving More to Be Desired" June 12, 2019 3.0 We do have to create our own database to store student enrollment data and license information, as PeopleSoft does not allow for this function. I have seen the capabilities of StarFish and as far as reach out or mass communication I do think that Peoplesoft if far behind in this area. My wish list would include more customization features with patch updates, or the ability to have unique users create their own dashboard areas and customize what they see for students, as the general information can mean multiple pages of digging through things to find the one piece of data you may need. Pros I think the range of what this software can accomplish in a university setting does encompass a good amount of things. For example, as a current advisor using this software to do things such as student checks and advising notes, but knowing that our HR systems can be supported by this too, is interesting. This software does allow for reporting data to be pulled into excel documents which I appreciate, as there are not too many steps or manipulation that needs to be done. For example, using the query viewer functions we can pull reports to look at profiles or enrollment. Cons Student groups and terms can sometimes make it difficult to look at a wide variety of data. One of the harder functions about the query viewer is that when we pull reports, while easy to pull...we have to establish terms that we are looking at, or set up perimeters for student group data to be pulled appropriately. We have had to work quite closely with our OIT team to get this done, and when we do pull reports we are only able to pull one term at a time, and then re-open the query viewer and then pull another report with another term date which can be a pain. The lack of customization in certain areas can be frustrating as well. I do wish the advising areas we use in the system had more room for departments to customize to their standards. But to comply with the university standards we must have one set office that can determine what we do as far as making note areas unique, for example. 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 hJ hedaia J. Planning Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Long-term human resource management systems" February 9, 2022 5.0 As a result, you may use this tool to plan your human resources, and it can also help you find a solution to your problem. Always go with the option that is most beneficial to your company's long-term survival. Pros In terms of ERP and HRM, PeopleSoft is a top-notch solution. Employee data serve as the basis for this cloud-based application, which is used to manage numerous business requirements. Anyone can use it because it has a simple user interface. By using several IDs, you can search for an employee and get all the records they've kept while working for you in PeopleSoft. To put it succinctly, I admire Oracle systems because they place a high value on the long-term viability of the organization as a whole. Cons In spite of the fact that this isn't always a bad thing, you must always stop working while technology specialists provide technical support, which is inconvenient at times. I also think the user interface's simplicity is outdated and needs to be updated, as it frequently bores me.

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. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Research Advancement Administrator Sr. Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Clunky and Slow" September 10, 2018 3.0 Pros You can add frequently used reports or screens to your My Favorites list for easy access. The Worklist functionality makes it easy to see what PTRs (Personnel Transaction Requests) are awaiting your action. Cons PeopleSoft is clunky and slow. I spend so much of my day watching the blue loading icon cycle. The reports have long names that aren't very intuitive, e.g. Commit Accting Cross-Reference shows you what positions are currently assigned to a particular account. There are hundreds of different roles to be able to view, create, and approve different requests. The role titles and descriptions are confusing, and they aren't grouped by job function. Whenever you hire a new person, it's exhausting to figure out what roles they will need to perform their job. 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 VR Verified Reviewer Finance Administrator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software to be used in Government" April 16, 2019 5.0 The software fulfills my daily tasks at work, it's great to have such a great positive experience. 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.

La informacion de los clientes es muy facil de ver y actualizar. Pros La facilidad para ver, manejar y cambiar informacion de los empleados en tiempo real. Cons Opciones que a simple vista parecen estar escondida. Pero con el tiempo se vuelve facil de usar y es muy util todas las opciones que al principio no veiamos. Review Source Jared H. HRIS Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Product with Lots of Features But Difficult to Maintain" October 31, 2019 4.0 A very good tool, that was feature rich and allowed you to build custom business process, but you could you shoot yourself in the foot with the customization, and get stuck doing custom processes. Pros I like how customizable the tool is to match whatever business process you have. It has strong reporting capabilities and can handle very complex process. Cons With the customization we had to do lots of regression testing when new updates came out. Sometimes this broke our customization and required much more work. Alternatives considered [SAP SuccessFactors HCM](https://www.capterra.com/p/144575/SuccessFactors-Perform-and-Reward/) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Office Assistant Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "PeopleSoft" September 9, 2019 4.0 Pros There is a lot that can be done with this software. My current job requires us to use this software as well as the university where I am currently a student. Part of my job is to generate expense reports or fund equity reports as well as create and update vouchers through this software and so far it has been productive. Cons When I generate reports, it takes about 3 minutes per report. I usually have to generate reports for multiple departments so in order to save time, I like to initiate the process for all of them so that I can multitask and save time. Unfortunately when I do that, the system gets confused and doesn't register when I pick a different department and ends up generating 2 of the same report. I think that is something that they can optimize better.

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 VR Verified Reviewer Senior Accountant Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very flexible system, easy to use" July 1, 2020 5.0 Once you know the system well, it is very easy to build the report or journal entries for pretty much any requirements. The system is very flexible and it is really useful when you are trying to find a particular number or transaction in large company Pros Easy to learn, easy to navigate system. Once you are comfortable with one version of People Soft, you can easily adopt to upgrades. It is almost impossible to post out of balance journal ( system protects itself). Account mapping is not complicated, but does require knowledge of People Soft and accounting itself ( like ability to do T accounts). I worked on People Soft in the very large and medium one, People Soft worked well in both companies Cons Some variety of People Soft do not allow to run across different business units and this is quite painful for accounting group during month end close. Crystal reports could be very tricky and have a tendency to slow down at the inopportune moments. 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. Review Source Erica T. Advising and Admissions Coordinator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PeopleSoft is the system I use daily to fulfill my daily tasks in higher education" May 29, 2018 4.0 Fulfilling my daily tasks in my position of higher education more easily than with other systems, This software is most important to my job. Pros The versatility of the system and ease of use makes my daily tasks in higher education quicker. I use this system everyday to help my students navigate their educational goals. I use it to run reports, admit students, track students, and advise students. Cons The system can be cumbersome in some aspects of it's use in terms of areas speaking to one another, but over all there are not many cons to list. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Former Fiscal Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Poorly designed" July 27, 2020 3.0 Pros Not much. The financial portion was pretty limited but it made it sort of easy to understand without too much training. Cons The HR product was godawful. Payroll Expense Transfers would take hours to complete bc costs would go to 2 decimals but percentages to 3, and the system would automatically round up to costs that actually weren’t there if the two were at odds. Sometimes this would happen I should say, and it wasn’t consistent. Total waste of time for something that shouldn’t happen.

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 June B. Talent Director Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good software with lots of reporting functions." August 6, 2018 5.0 Robust software with great reporting and streamlined processes. Pros Integrated with online applications well, great reporting options and easy export to Excel. Process is streamlined and easy to enter notes, add orders, customers, etc. Cons Reporting is great but seems to be hard for many people to grasp as there are so many options to choose from when running a report. Does let you save reports but if you need to tweak, most people need a Subject Matter Expert to help them. Review Source BRIDGETTE J. ACCOUNTANT Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ORACLE PEOPLESOFT" October 31, 2019 3.0 We use the software for Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and payroll. Pros I have peoplesoft for many years. If you purchase everything you need when getting the program, you should not have any issues using. We use the software for AP, AR and payroll. Cons This particular peoplesoft software we are using for the current State Agency I work for is the worse peoplesoft software I ever used. It has limitations, not user friendly, and difficult to fix without cost. 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. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Process Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very Hokey Program" January 23, 2018 4.0 Pros You've probably used Peoplesoft at some point in your life; whether you went to University or used it at work for HR Systems - it does a lot and has a lot of abilities; but, the cost is enormous and it had a lot of problems from an end-user perspective. Cons Constantly having to update the software because end users have issues. Very hokey in its execution Constantly requires JAVA updates?? Oracle charges a lot to keep it in service.
