Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality. Some customers use it for its finance module."
"We use a lot of typical cases from PeopleSoft, for example, solutions for security, business performance, monitoring processes, and a lot of training."
"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."
"PeopleSoft is an amazing solution. Its users can have total control of the system, including PeopleCode, Application Engine and Component Interface, along with many other tools delivered by PeopleSoft."
"It's a mature product."
"The solution's scalability is good."
"A valuable feature is HCM."
"Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market."
"ERP can help manage all enterprise resources. It brings them together and provides some analytical data to inform management decisions."
"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 meets our requirements for what we need it to do in the manufacturing industry."
"Control and governance are the best features."
"The solution is very stable."
"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."
"The implementation is very straightforward."
"The best thing that SAP ERP has is the extensive coverage of processes for every field and business unit such as procurement, inventory, financials, asset management, plant maintenance, and production. We can cover up to 99.9% processes of our organization, which is the best thing about this solution. It also has a very good capability to integrate with other applications. The security and authorization level of SAP ERP is very high. No other solution can match this level."
"An area for improvement would be that it's quite difficult to learn how to use this product, and the documentation provided isn't helpful in giving you practical advice."
"There could be more adaptability of the system."
"The solution could have better processes and automation, or features that allow for a paperless environment."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"The solution's initial setup is not straightforward."
"The solution could improve by offering PeopleSoft site licenses. Currently, Oracle is pushing for everyone to transition to the cloud, but clients are discontent with this approach. Offering new PeopleSoft site licenses would be the most beneficial for our clients."
"The UI and user experience are not great, and it's not as feature-rich as today's systems. Furthermore, our implementation does not include all the components we need, like payroll or some other functions."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"The warehouse management could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to see more technical integration for directly designed solutions on behalf of the selling process so that you can design solutions and not have to use ten or more other tools to get the solution for selling."
"ERP could use better integration with other systems."
"The UI could use improvement."
"In previous generations, SAP was stable and the roadmap was very predictable, but currently it's very difficult."
"If big companies are going for SAP and they would like to install it, they should know that it still needs time. Implementation will cost a lot of money."
"This solution could be made more user-friendly for development teams."
"Its user interface should be improved."
