Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I appreciated the templates that they offered for new hires and onboarding.""I like the payroll part. We also use documents and forms whenever we hire, such as a new hire form for each state, and we like that as well."

More Gusto Pros →

"A solid and mature product.""Its user interface is impressive.""I often say that PeopleSoft's greatest feature is how customizable it is.""The synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner.""PeopleSoft is easy to understand, where any end user that is logged in can easily navigate through the menus.""Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market.""It's a mature product.""It's very fully featured. It has more features and more configurability than SAP."

Cons
"Their enrollment e-signature, enrollment forms, and other documents need a lot of work. Once we fill in the information, we cannot go back and change any of that. It's a time-taking process. If there is any mistake in the document and if we need to go and change a specific field in the form, it's not possible. We have to redo the entire form.""In the beginning, their support was top-notch. And then around the beginning of 2022, and end of 2021, their support tanked. We used to get responses in the beginning within one to two business days, and towards the end, we were getting responses in one to two business weeks."

More Gusto Cons →

"Tools and UI could be enhanced.""The solution could have better processes and automation, or features that allow for a paperless environment.""The UI and user experience are not great, and it's not as feature-rich as today's systems. Furthermore, our implementation does not include all the components we need, like payroll or some other functions.""On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements.""Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved.""Initial setup can be complex without training or use of consultants.""I would like to see it become available again in Mexico.""The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved."

    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."
