"Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market."
"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."
"PeopleSoft has been fairly reliable for us. We haven't had any issues with stability."
"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"I like the speed of the processing and how easy it is to use."
"The stability and performance are good."
"It's a good ERP system."
"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."
"It has been quite stable so far."
"The solution is quite scalable."
"SAP ERP provides the perfect database and options for additional production. It's also good for finance analytics, production drill-down, and other types of analysis."

"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"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."

"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."
"It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development."
"Initial setup can be complex without training or use of consultants."
"Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it."
"It is a little difficult to use."
"SAP ERP needs to consider simplifying a few areas within the tool. Compared to SAP ERP, other solutions in the market are much more easily configurable and understandable. SAP has a lot of complex features."

"Their support should be improved. Instead of giving a general solution, their consultants should first try to understand the problem and then resolve the same. They should properly investigate the issue before providing the solution."
