"The synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner."
"The most valuable feature is IDE."
"The integration between Human Capital Management (HCM) and PeopleSoft is an important feature."
"The breadcrumb approach to navigation in PeopleSoft is good. nVision is also a good supplement."
"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 PeopleSoft interface is very good."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is having the sources so that you're able to adapt the product to your needs. That was a big benefit."
"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."
"It has a lot of integrity of data, and it is fast. All the users feel that they can trust this data. So, data integrity is the most important value of SAP."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The architecture of the solution overall is great. It's great for development, testing, and production. I've worked with solutions where the architecture wasn't as strong and it was a disaster."
"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."
"It is the best solution in the class of ERP products."
"This is a robust and feature-rich solution."
"The solution is quite scalable."
"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."
"In my opinion, it needs more performance, maybe something technical related, because it's very slow for us and even small activities take a while."
"I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner."
"Scalability is not there in PeopleSoft. Its performance and resilience are also very bad. When you're trying to stretch it, it breaks. It is not resilient. It is also not stable. It is stable as far as data is concerned, but the infrastructure is not stable."
"PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration."
"The API integration could be better."
"The implementation of PeopleSoft is quite complex and is not as easy as other cloud products such as SuccessFactor or Workday."
"Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements."
"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."
"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 could always be cheaper. There is no doubt about it."
"It is not flexible for the users. SAP works in a specific way, and the users and the processes have to adapt to the way it works. It is hard to customize it to the level that we need for our work. It is not easy to get new extensions for process functions, modules, or activities."
"It is very expensive to customize to meet compliance with regulations in some countries."
"Its user interface should be improved."
"I would like to see more integration with other partners. Some of our customers already use specific or in-house applications for their business processes. They do not want to replace those applications."
"It's difficult to code; structured language is difficult."
