Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"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."
"A solid and mature product."
"Its user interface is impressive."
"The synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner."
"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."
"A valuable feature is HCM."
"The payroll solution and the localization for advances are valuable."
"It is an integrated application, and it has been working really well. Earlier, there were different companies for different applications for manufacturing, finance controlling, logistics, and quality. It probably was the first fully integrated application. Whenever somebody is entering any data, for example, invoice data or ordering data, everyone with a right to see this data can see it in the system."
"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."
"I like that SAP ERP is very robust and stable."
"This is a robust and feature-rich solution."
"Everyone who uses SAP ERP has benefited from the functionality."
"Their tech support is always good."
"It is a stable solution."
"The biggest disadvantage with things like PeopleSoft is that they do continuous support and fixes and upgrades. You get to choose when you want to implement that upgrade. However, in order to keep up, you have to upgrade."
"I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner."
"The solution could have better processes and automation, or features that allow for a paperless environment."
"We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."
"Tools and UI could be enhanced."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved."
"My developers want to use more HTML instead of the specialized tool, PeopleTools because, they say, it's better from a user perspective."
"It is a little difficult to use."
"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 production system must be upgraded."
"Although you can use SAP as a Warehouse Management System, and you don’t need any other program for that purpose, it is not enough as a Transportation Management System. You need another program which is integrated with SAP."
"The system is very big. It is not exactly user-friendly, due to the fact that it's so massive and complex."
"I think that implementation could be simplified."
"In previous generations, SAP was stable and the roadmap was very predictable, but currently it's very difficult."
"I do not have any notes for improvements."
