We performed a comparison between PeopleSoft and SAP ERP based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."In general, this solution is user friendly and also performs well. There are two types of forms. One is a standardized form, which you can define things into. The other, you can customize so more repetition can be done in an even manner. That way, it can be designed for what the public or user actually wants. It's not very tough for any person, or layman to understand exactly what the screen requires one to do."
"I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."
"It's very fully featured. It has more features and more configurability than SAP."
"It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features."
"The PeopleSoft interface is very good."
"The most valuable feature of PeopleSoft is the functionality that allows the ability to find all the data about employees that are needed."
"All the features of the solution are integral to the functionality. Additionally, the navigation customization is beneficial."
"Job data is a valuable feature."
"The stability is SAP ERP is not good only because the version is old. They could work on improving the versions."
"ERP can help manage all enterprise resources. It brings them together and provides some analytical data to inform management decisions."
"I like that SAP ERP is very robust and stable."
"I like SAP's premade workflows for various areas, such as supply chain, procurement, or finance."
"If you are well versed in SAP, the initial setup is pretty simple."
"MDG provides a central location for governance of the creation/updating processes of master data. It allows you to change several fields in the same object. For example, we can change a field on the purchasing view and change another field on an accounting view to the same material at the same time."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution can easily be standardized across processes."
"Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it."
"The solution could have better processes and automation, or features that allow for a paperless environment."
"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."
"The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved."
"If there is another release, they should look at going to mobile computing to stay competitive."
"PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration."
"I would like to see a better UI."
"I would like to see improvement in the UI."
"It needs a more complete guidance with complete processes. Right now, it only has single transactions."
"SAP needs to be more intuitive."
"It has a high cost."
"Sometimes the cost is not reasonable, such as in the case of budgeting."
"One thing that is lacking in ERP is a good user interface. It is currently very clumsy and complex. Another thing is that reporting capability of SAP ERP is customizable, but it is not very good. Its development time is also very high if you require specialized technical services. If you want to do any changes to the report or develop a new report, you need people with specialized skills. Business processes are very straightforward and standardized as per the industry standards. However, the way it works is a bit complex, and you need to know a lot of things. There are different things that can be complex for a general user. A lot of information is being provided in ERP. A general user doesn't require all this information, and it creates a lot of confusion. Its learning curve is very high."
"When evaluating the current version I am using now, the SAP GUI is old-style and needs to be replaced with something more modern and easy to use. However, the SAP GUI is very optimized for connection networks and is extremely good. Many people would like to have a WebGUI or something else to have access in a different way. Additionally, there could be some drag and drop functionality added because these features are normally in any website that this solution does not have."
"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."
"License fees are too high."
