"PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality. Some customers use it for its finance module."
"I would recommend the solution. It's very stable and scalable, which makes it a reliable solution."
"Scales up very well."
"The time system is what we get the most benefit from."
"I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features."
"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 solution is easy to scale, expand and make bigger."
"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 most valuable features are the claim management."
"The stability is SAP ERP is not good only because the version is old. They could work on improving the versions."
"If you are well versed in SAP, the initial setup is pretty simple."
"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."
"SAP is a very process controlled application. It does not allow users to manage the data. Once the initial process is set, it works smoothly."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"I have found all the modules related to finance valuable, such as account management and HR. The entire suite is very useful."
"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see it become available again in Mexico."
"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."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework."
"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."
"Tools and UI could be enhanced."
"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."
"The user interface could be improved. For example, sometimes you're missing some data and can't complete a task. There should be some built-in support and suggestions on how to solve your problem. I would also like the interface to be optimized to work better with mobile devices like tablets and smartphones."
"The version that we are using lacks in reporting. The reporting feature needs to be constructed more in this product. There can be better scope for mobility. They could include the technical development of reports instead of depending completely on programming. The programming method needs to be easy."
"I'm only working on the front end with ERP's user interface, which isn't very easy for end-users. It's an old-school interface, so it's often challenging to find what you need."
"Poor ergonomics."
"Improvements to the UI. The UI is pretty old, but this will change with the upcoming release of S.4."
"There are a lot of manual tasks that are used by a lot of people, so it is a very good candidate for RPA."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The production system must be upgraded."
