More Ellucian Cons →

"The implementation of PeopleSoft is quite complex and is not as easy as other cloud products such as SuccessFactor or Workday.""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.""PeopleSoft lacks integration capabilities.""We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product.""I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features.""Agile system configurations to accommodate business dynamics.""Global payroll could be easier to use.""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."
