Pros
"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations.""From a product perspective, it's more lenient and suitable for using features in finance, such as reconciling our payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc.""Infor CloudSuite Industrial is easy to setup. The built-in solution is already there, so we can start implementing it right away when we install it in an organization. After going through different test executions and workshops, any missing features can be added using Infor extension tables and other products. It will take at least eight to nine months to go live.""We did some research and chose CloudSuite because it has the flexibility to cover a range of areas. And there were many other factors like traceability, for example, which is crucial for food production.""It is a scalable solution.""Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP.""The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features.""The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward. I recommend the solution."

"The most valuable feature is ERP application information.""The most valuable feature is IDE.""I like the speed of the processing and how easy it is to use.""The most valuable feature for us is the integration between the HR Payroll and Financials modules""The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability.""PeopleSoft is an amazing solution. Its users can have total control of the system, including PeopleCode, Application Engine and Component Interface, along with many other tools delivered by PeopleSoft.""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.""I would recommend the solution. It's very stable and scalable, which makes it a reliable solution."

"The product connects to every software.""The most valuable features of SAP ERP are that its robust, user-friendly, and secure.""It is the best solution in the class of ERP products.""The best thing that SAP ERP has is the extensive coverage of processes for every field and business unit such as procurement, inventory, financials, asset management, plant maintenance, and production. We can cover up to 99.9% processes of our organization, which is the best thing about this solution. It also has a very good capability to integrate with other applications. The security and authorization level of SAP ERP is very high. No other solution can match this level.""ERP is stable. The outcome is clear to us as far as the design goes.""I like that SAP ERP is very robust and stable.""The most valuable features of SAP ERP are the integration between all departments, such as purchasing, finance, trading, and sales.""SAP is a very process controlled application.

Cons
"There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on.""Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle.""The platform's distribution features need enhancement.""The solution's support service could be better.""Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual.""Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution.""Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined.""Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."

More Infor CloudSuite Industrial Cons →

"Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework.""We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product.""The product is not intuitive, and finding the right candidate can be arduous.""Areas that need improvement are the add-ons to the fluid pages and additional features in SCM and finance, both functionally and technically.""PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate.""I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner.""I would like to see improvement in the UI.""I think the inventory part it should be simplified. There is the GR, or good receipt note, which is the time that the materials comes in, and the work days, etc. There is a lot of shuffling through pages, which creates a lot of problems for our users. They don't know which page to go to, where to create a GR, or where to create a stock entry. In other words, all the information is very daunting. It's very easy for people to understand and get a better clarity over it."

More PeopleSoft Cons →

"It is a little difficult to use.""SAP is more expensive than some of its competitors.""The system is over-customized.""The service could be more user-friendly in the area of transition codes.""The speed to build and the speed to deliver could be better.""It would also help if it were more open, more flexible, with more standard products.""It has a high cost.""The solution is quite expensive. They need to work on the pricing to make it more reasonable."

    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."
