"I often say that PeopleSoft's greatest feature is how customizable it is."
"All the features of the solution are integral to the functionality. Additionally, the navigation customization is beneficial."
"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 synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner."
"This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful."
"I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."
"PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality. Some customers use it for its finance module."
"It is a comprehensive and robust solution. It can provide lots of functional features."
"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."
"It meets our requirements for what we need it to do in the manufacturing industry."
"I like that SAP ERP is very robust and stable."
"It is the best solution in the class of ERP products."
"The most valuable features of SAP ERP is the flexibility and functionality. It is one of the best ERPs I have seen in the market."
"SAP is more reliable in terms of data quality than other systems."
"The features are very useful for finance."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"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 product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great."
"Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework."
"We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."
"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."
"Parsing of CVs is productive but accuracy can be improved."
"PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems."
"The system is very big. It is not exactly user-friendly, due to the fact that it's so massive and complex."
"It is on the expensive side."
"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 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 reporting could be improved, such as the casework, production, and activity reports. Our consultants in a subsidiary enterprise have requested that we develop a new production report. They could also improve production, financial, and HR analysis."
"There will always be something within our business that it won't fit."
"Reporting is why most companies need to acquire business intelligence add-on solutions, and when it comes to SAP ERP, they could improve the reporting graphical representation of the data."
"It needs a more complete guidance with complete processes. Right now, it only has single transactions."
