More Deltek CostPoint Pros →

"I would recommend the solution. It's very stable and scalable, which makes it a reliable solution.""I would rate scalability a nine out of ten.""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.""In general, this solution is user friendly and also performs well. There are two types of forms. One is a standardized form, which you can define things into. The other, you can customize so more repetition can be done in an even manner. That way, it can be designed for what the public or user actually wants. It's not very tough for any person, or layman to understand exactly what the screen requires one to do.""PeopleSoft has been fairly reliable for us. We haven't had any issues with stability.""The solution is easy to scale, expand and make bigger.""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 Chart of Accounts for all performance insights.""Stability-wise, it is a good tool."

More Deltek CostPoint Cons →

"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization.""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.""Global payroll could be easier to use.""This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support.""Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved.""The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great.""The Time and Labor module is not that flexible.""The API integration could be better."
