Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Very stable in terms of performance and scalability.""I like the speed of the processing and how easy it is to use.""The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use.""It's a mature product.""I would recommend the solution. It's very stable and scalable, which makes it a reliable solution.""Scales up very well.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

More PeopleSoft Pros →

"The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks.""PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good.""The UI and UX are fantastic.""The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities.""The mobile responsiveness is strong.""Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."

More PeopleStrong Pros →

"I have found the most valuable feature to be business intelligence and Cognos reporting.""The solution has improved our organization by helping us cut hours and lessen our labor force. It saved us probably over $100,000 in just the last couple of years.""The solution's UI is good. Also, it is very easy to use.""It enables us to manage the system ourselves. We don't need an additional team to do a lot of maintenance and add the things that we want.""The most valuable feature is being able to get time management reports which break out reclassified jobs and departments to separate areas of the company. This allows for better tracking of hours spent in certain jobs and where more hours may be needed.""I like UKG's integration.""UKG allows us to customize our home screen so that we can easily monitor important items on a daily basis.""The employee self-service feature is most valuable. This is the restaurant industry, and they have a mobile app that allows employees to go in and manage their data. So, employees can manage direct deposit accounts, emergency contacts, and other things in the app. That's definitely the biggest benefit."

More UKG Pros →

Cons
"Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved.""I would like to see improvement in the UI.""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.""The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great.""Tools and UI could be enhanced.""Initial setup can be complex without training or use of consultants.""My developers want to use more HTML instead of the specialized tool, PeopleTools because, they say, it's better from a user perspective.""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."

More PeopleSoft Cons →

"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems.""It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity.""The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level.""They could improve talent management capabilities.""The global scalability and support could improve.""They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."

More PeopleStrong Cons →

"The navigation on the screen could be better. Sometimes, I have to dig a little bit deep to find what I need. Everything is there. It just needs to be a little bit smoother.""Reporting is always a hurdle for any user just because it is so extensive. They provide a lot of out-of-the-box reports, but it is something that you always need to work on because you need more advanced writing of reports.""The solution could improve by simplifying it even more core reports, such as more sample reports, more generic reports that you can edit and improve on yourself.""One area where UKG could improve is in its ability to understand its own competency and then work hard to improve it.""UKG could be a little more flexible in some areas.""I would like to see more functionality in the next release to be able to get hours and dollars per calendar month rather than just by payroll in the Business Intelligence reports.""I would like the capability to use UKG as a single platform without the need to alternate between systems.""Certainly, the time and attendance and the payroll integration need a lot of work. They are disjointed pieces, and they don't work smoothly together. That's the main drawback."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Check all options before a decision is made."
  • "It's approximately $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 USD per year."
  • "The licensing cost for PeopleSoft is 3,500 per course and the annual subscription fee is 6,500."
  • "I don't know if they are still providing licenses or if they have suspending licenses."
  • "There are no additional costs for licensing."
  • "We are a University and the cost and license are negotiated privately."
  • "The main issue we have with the solution is that it is very expensive."
  • "One of the cheapest solutions available and also one of the best."
  • More PeopleSoft Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
  • "The product has reasonable pricing."
  • More PeopleStrong Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I wasn't involved in the pricing part. I'm a user, and I believe it is based on the user count. One thing that is nice about Ultimate is that you can learn how to use the system without additional fees. The learning aspect is the life of a product, and the training was a huge reason why we went with Ultimate. We did have some integration costs. They were a part of the implementation because of the integrations to other systems that we included in our implementation."
  • "While I am unsure of the licensing cost itself, the total cost of implementation and licensing for a company with over 5000 employees would be around 6,00,000. So, there are additional costs beyond licensing."

    Reviews from Real Users

    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.

    A Regional Director at a tech services company mentions, “The most valuable feature is that it's wide and broad and it does about everything anybody needs in a major organization from a back-office systems point of view.”

    "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. We just switched to the new fluid interface and that is working very well for us. It is very good," says another reviewer who is an HR/Pay Systems Administrator/Director at a university.


    A Senior Manager for DevOps Infrastructure at a financial services firm, explains why he finds the solution so beneficial: "It is a customizable product. We can customize it based on our needs, which is one of the features that I like about PeopleSoft. As far as financial accounting is concerned, the user interface is very good. You can also configure a Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
