Oracle PeopleSoft

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.

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Right now it seems Peoplesoft is outdated.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.

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

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.

Pros

Robust system that can accommodate extremely high transactional volume

Cons

User interface lacks imagination, and is somewhat disconnected from normal business transaction flow

Pros

It makes the job easier, you can obtain many different reports, forms and basically an all in one helper

Cons

I love this product so much there is nothing I truly disliked

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.

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.

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.

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

Pros

Easy to use for my daily HR reporting on timesheets, requesting leave and keeping track of my employment data

Cons

Could be more interactive by adding a chatbot

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pros

The system is not flashy but it gets the job done. I used it at the University I worked at to track students grades, classes, financial info, etc. Once you learn how to navigate the system (which isn't too difficult) you have access to a lot information quickly.

Cons

There was a little bit of a learning curve as you get used to the system. However, once you understand the functionality, it's very useful.

Pros

I am required to use this software to interact with Legal Aid as a private lawyer. The only positive thing that I can say is that it is relatively simple in its interface.

Cons

Navigation is absolutely terrible. If using the back button in browser, the session usually times out or glitches, requiring a fresh login. Navigation can be quite confusing and difficult.

Pros

Easy to navigate, well organized, categorization works great, fast, many features available for large numbers of employees, possibility to designate different access for different employees.

Cons

The interface looks rather primitive, and it might not be cost effective for smaller organizations.

Pros

It serves as an effective database for my company. Once trained on how to enter information and pull certain information out - metrics can be easy to review.

Cons

End users don't necessarily have the ability to customize reporting. Special requests have to be made but that could be the way that my company has it configured.

Pros

Very robust tools and I like the data structure. From a vanilla implementation perspective, it's very clean as an HRIS system. The modules are straightforward and there is a lot of spec documentation available.

Cons

Customization is a beast. A lot of testing involved an depending on the consultants you have, may be a pain to customize from vanilla Peoplesoft.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

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.

Cons

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...
