"The solution is easy to scale, expand and make bigger."

"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"One of the areas that could improve is the capability of utilizing mobile for some of the self-service activities that are missing. They are running on the older platform. What is happening is people are focusing on the cloud. PeopleSoft is a good provider and should into the cloud. That could be an advantage for them. Customers would not have to go find another solution that is a completely different platform that has different functionality altogether."
"The solution's initial setup is not straightforward."
"It would be helpful for the end-user if the reports were customized. They would be able to select the fields while generating their reports."

"Tools and UI could be enhanced."
"PeopleSoft lacks integration capabilities."
"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."

"Managing changes in applications can be challenging since it complicates testing and unit testing, resulting in longer testing phases. This time-consuming process often leaves little room for actual work."
"I would like it to move more towards a single data space, a single data source. SAP as a platform relies on multiple data sources because traditionally, it's been bolted together by the acquisition of other products rather than a single database. That's why there are lots of points of failure and lots of required points of integration. They need a single integration point."
"It takes a long time to apply an update patch to the system."
"There needs to be a renovation of the interface and functionalities of the talent management modules."
"Reports need to be added on the time management side."
