"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."
"A valuable feature is FSCM."
"The most valuable feature for us is the integration between the HR Payroll and Financials modules"
"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."
"Scales up very well."
"The time system is what we get the most benefit from."
"Stability-wise, it is a good tool."
"SAP has provided a much more integrated platform for managing our manufacturing business."
"SAP is already working on improvements by doing annual releases with enhancements."
"The implementation is very straightforward."
"The new Visual Enterprise functionalities give an intuitive approach to data and make communication between engineering and production easy."
"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."
"It's a good ERP system."
"The solution has far more features, processes, and functionalities than we previously had."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great."
"The implementation of PeopleSoft is quite complex and is not as easy as other cloud products such as SuccessFactor or Workday."
"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."
"There could be more adaptability of the system."
"The Time and Labor module is not that flexible."
"Areas that need improvement are the add-ons to the fluid pages and additional features in SCM and finance, both functionally and technically."
"The solution needs to work on its mobile technology. We're hoping in the next version we're working on implementing, 9.2, will have more of this."
"I would like to see the customization of the reports become easier to work with instead of having technical support have to assist us."
"The system is over-customized."
"Lacks sufficient technical support with slow response times."
"SAP ERP is scalable. We have some five to ten thousand SAP ERP users."
"It should be less complex. It should also have better integration capability. I am using the ACC version, and in this version, the integration and the communication are very difficult and complicated."
"It is on the expensive side."
"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."
"The speed to build and the speed to deliver could be better."
