"Very stable in terms of performance and scalability."
"The new version of this solution is very scalable."
"The recruiting is most valuable. It saves time in having easy and fast applicants tracking as well as candidates' contact plus pipeline management."
"PeopleSoft allows you to schedule upgrades and inform users beforehand. This gives your IT team time to manage the implementation and minimize disruption."
"PeopleSoft is a good core system. They frequently update the solution and recently they have added some good enhancement features for higher education. We just switched to the new fluid interface and that is working very well for us. It is very good."
"The solution has a lot of good integrated modules."
"Finance view across functions is valuable."
"It is the best solution in the class of ERP products."
"The most valuable feature is the robust workflows that SAP provides to us in our organization. Overall, I find it the best ERP solution compared to other similar solutions."
"The Material Management and Sales and Distribution modules are great. The Financial Accounting module is also great."
"It is a comprehensive and robust solution. It can provide lots of functional features."
"It is a utility-focused solution, and the deployment is very much aligned with utility service providers. If you look at the supply chain and the overall business model of a utility service provider, SAP is something that fits very well. That's because the company has invested tremendously in creating appropriate workflows pertaining to this segment or domain."
"I like that SAP ERP is very robust and stable."
"Parsing of CVs is productive but accuracy can be improved."
"My developers want to use more HTML instead of the specialized tool, PeopleTools because, they say, it's better from a user perspective."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"The biggest disadvantage with things like PeopleSoft is that they do continuous support and fixes and upgrades. You get to choose when you want to implement that upgrade. However, in order to keep up, you have to upgrade."
"Areas that need improvement are the add-ons to the fluid pages and additional features in SCM and finance, both functionally and technically."
"Often support just asks people to install a lot of upgrades. Sometimes they don't really give you clear details as to why you need to upgrade. They just say, "You need to upgrade this because there's a newer image, etc". They never really give you the reason underlying why you are having errors."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It is very expensive to customize to meet compliance with regulations in some countries."
"SAP needs to be more intuitive."
"More integrations and built-in integrations with other environments and products are needed."
"SAP ERP needs to consider simplifying a few areas within the tool. Compared to SAP ERP, other solutions in the market are much more easily configurable and understandable. SAP has a lot of complex features."
"It could be more flexible, and the company should be able to adapt the system. Not the other way around. It's very rigid and difficult to change. Reporting could also be better."
"The system is over-customized."
"Their support should be improved. Instead of giving a general solution, their consultants should first try to understand the problem and then resolve the same. They should properly investigate the issue before providing the solution."
"Technical support is an area that is in need of improvement."
