Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The customizations allow us to come up with a lot of complex labor rules. In the Philippines, there's a lot of different kinds of rules you need to be in compliance with. The solution offers up a lot of flexibility and customization that is perfect for our region's requirements."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"It is a customizable product. We can customize it based on our needs, which is one of the features that I like about PeopleSoft. As far as financial accounting is concerned, the user interface is very good. You can also configure Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
"It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features."
"Scales up very well."
"The most valuable feature of PeopleSoft is the functionality that allows the ability to find all the data about employees that are needed."
"The breadcrumb approach to navigation in PeopleSoft is good. nVision is also a good supplement."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"The payroll solution and the localization for advances are valuable."
"The power of ABAP Development Tools is the main valuable feature in the SAP ECC system. Every couple of years SAP upgrades ABAP technology significantly, which facilitates developers' work."
"The solution provides a high level of integration."
"The solution has made the most significant impact on our human resources function, specifically in HR operations and HR analytics. One feature of SAP ERP that I found most valuable is its use of codes for accessing specific functions."
"It is easier to migrate to SAP ERP from a legacy system. We have different products for data services, and it is easier to migrate to SAP ERP as compared to other solutions. Stability is one of the main features of SAP. What makes SAP ERP better than others is that SAP has taken into consideration the business processes of different industries, such as manufacturing. They have done the research, and they know what are the best practices. They have already implemented these best practices in SAP ERP, which are readily available for a client. Clients can also customize it based on their individual needs."
"The system can be integrated with other SAP functionalities - such as finance, production, sales, marketing, HR, et cetera, and can also be customized to become a model that's specifically designed for my business. That's the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The stability and performance are good."
"Everyone who uses SAP ERP has benefited from the functionality."
"It would be helpful for the end-user if the reports were customized. They would be able to select the fields while generating their reports."
"I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner."
"One of the areas that could improve is the capability of utilizing mobile for some of the self-service activities that are missing. They are running on the older platform. What is happening is people are focusing on the cloud. PeopleSoft is a good provider and should into the cloud. That could be an advantage for them. Customers would not have to go find another solution that is a completely different platform that has different functionality altogether."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"The Time and Labor module is not that flexible."
"PeopleSoft lacks integration capabilities."
"I think the inventory part it should be simplified. There is the GR, or good receipt note, which is the time that the materials comes in, and the work days, etc. There is a lot of shuffling through pages, which creates a lot of problems for our users. They don't know which page to go to, where to create a GR, or where to create a stock entry. In other words, all the information is very daunting. It's very easy for people to understand and get a better clarity over it."
"The product is not intuitive, and finding the right candidate can be arduous."
"The speed to build and the speed to deliver could be better."
"I would like to see the customization of the reports become easier to work with instead of having technical support have to assist us."
"It needs a more complete guidance with complete processes. Right now, it only has single transactions."
"There will always be something within our business that it won't fit."
"SAP ERP could improve by having better integration with other platforms."
"In general, a user should attend training before they can use this platform. There's definitely a learning curve. As a new user or employee, there may be some difficulty with onboarding."
"This solution could be made more user-friendly for development teams."
"The problem with SAP is that whenever there is a modification, or if a new field needs to be added, they charge tens of thousands, hundreds, or even two hundred thousand dollars. That is not anything in which I am really interested. For instance, consider a single-use case. I have to enter the root causes for a certain operation or failure. That option does not exist anywhere in SAP, not in manufacturing, not in logistics, not in anything. It is completely missing. The root cause analysis is very common across industries, yet SAP does not offer this option. A line field or a metaparticle, for example, was delayed. If you have the choice to input the warehouse operator or if the person who submitted the document has the opportunity to enter, this has been postponed for N, X, Y, or Z reasons."
