Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The stability was reliable.""The solution is easy to use.""It is a tried and tested ERP system which if used correctly, is definitely a very good program for managing all aspects of a business from customer sales, and receivables management, to payable management and finance reporting. So, it's super critical for any mid-sized company.""The fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable.""It's enhanced by a subscription billing add-on, to efficiently automate billing and invoicing, particularly due to our substantial customer database.""You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily.""The solution offers integrations with other software as well. We have integration with Microsoft Office where we can do Word and Excel, etc.""I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed."

"The time system is what we get the most benefit from.""It's a mature product.""It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features.""Stability-wise, it is a good tool.""Its user interface is impressive.""Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market.""A valuable feature is FSCM.""The integration between Human Capital Management (HCM) and PeopleSoft is an important feature."

Cons
"There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning.""The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved.""Dynamics GP could be improved in terms of its usability and modernization.""With payroll, the payroll that they have offers US or Canadian tax. However, here, our tax payments are different from the US and Canada. It is very difficult to put in our tax tables. We need some customization. It should be readily available for any country to use according to their tax implications. The system should know different types of tax regimes around the world so that it can accommodate. It's a little bit rigid on that.""Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises.""What could be improved is the functionality of Dynamics GP because it requires a lot of development by the programmers and the company in order to integrate into a solution.""Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications.""This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."

More Microsoft Dynamics GP Cons →

"It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development.""I would like to see it become available again in Mexico.""The implementation of PeopleSoft is quite complex and is not as easy as other cloud products such as SuccessFactor or Workday.""Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it.""There could be more adaptability of the system.""I would like to see improvement in the UI.""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.""The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

  • "For us, in our local currency, it costs us around 5 million Botswanan Pulas a year. It's quite a lot of money."
  • "The solution's price is steep."
  • "I think the tool is competitively priced and it's more of a one-time investment with a low annual renewal fee."

    PeopleSoft is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it has a lot of functionality and is customizable.

    "PeopleSoft is a good core system. It has a lot of functionality. "They frequently update the solution and recently they have added some good enhancement features for higher education.
