Recruiting module is highly usable, with good performance and goal management features
The setup is not complicated as such. From a user perspective, it's not complicated and, in fact, is quite user-friendly. Even for the implementer, it is quite easy to configure. The implementation time naturally depends upon the requirements, but at a minimum, we can implement recruiting and onboarding with Oracle in 45 days. If you have more of a management workflow, there's also a lot of a customization there. And if you have customized Java applications, those areas need to be developed and it may take more time. But overall, in it can be configured and delivered to customers in 45 days.

Overall useful features and beneficial navigation customization
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. The needs and preferences vary for each industry and client, but a recurring request has been for improved data analytics capabilities. The work centers have provided a useful tool for customizing the navigation, however, I believe the code needs to be optimized to increase efficiency. Clients often have demanding workloads, and when they all have customized work centers, it puts a strain on the system.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is easy to use. Requisition management and pre-screening are the two most valuable features."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"The solution offers good benefits for administrators."
"Good integration capabilities and extensibility."
"The Talent Acquisition and Headhunting features are good."
"Performance and goal management are good to have, based on certain client requirements where the user base isn't too large, but the most workable domain of Taleo is the recruiting module."
"The customizations allow us to come up with a lot of complex labor rules. In the Philippines, there's a lot of different kinds of rules you need to be in compliance with. The solution offers up a lot of flexibility and customization that is perfect for our region's requirements."
"It's very fully featured. It has more features and more configurability than SAP."
"The most valuable feature of PeopleSoft is the functionality that allows the ability to find all the data about employees that are needed."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"Scales up very well."
"The solution's scalability is good."
"A valuable feature is HCM."
"The most valuable feature is ERP application information."
 

Cons

"Lacks some systems that we need."
"I don't see very valuable features in this product because it has an old way of interpreting ATS. It should be more flexible in managing datasets and data searches. The screening data is a long process in Taleo."
"It would be ideal if we could integrate the solution with Olympia. It would be helpful if we could add another support desk for an IT person. It would be great if the product was more interdisciplinary and could include IT."
"There are always going to be little caveats here and there that you might not have known about as far as changes are concerned, however, it's not business-oriented to the point where the business shuts down."
"The pricing could be improved."
"In terms of Oracle Taleo as a product, there are a lot of things which can be developed; most feedback which I have heard from customers is about the dashboard and the home page, both of which are quite basic."
"The bulk recruitment feature does not work well."
"The area that could be improved is the upgrade process, it's not the easiest. Oracle stopped supporting our version. So we have to move either to the cloud or work in a non-supported situation. That was certainly a disadvantage. That's also the reason why we decided not to stay with Oracle. Now we are moving to SAP."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development."
"My developers want to use more HTML instead of the specialized tool, PeopleTools because, they say, it's better from a user perspective."
"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."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"Global payroll could be easier to use."
"Often support just asks people to install a lot of upgrades. Sometimes they don't really give you clear details as to why you need to upgrade. They just say, "You need to upgrade this because there's a newer image, etc". They never really give you the reason underlying why you are having errors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Whether you pay annually or on some other payment schedule depends on the license model you choose. Typically, clients pay a yearly subscription."
"The expenses related to the solution are nominal."
"I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
"We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing costs of PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft is not very expensive, so I feel it is an affordable product."
"There are no additional costs for licensing."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
"The tool is expensive."
