"Aspects of HR and payroll could be better."
"An area for improvement would be transactions, which can be tedious to complete as the process is very complex."
"I'm a business analyst, so I do a lot of customer-facing work. I take calls from businesses I have to troubleshoot. One thing that bugs me is the error messages you get from IFS. If I get an error message, I have to dig to find the cause because, often, the error message doesn't precisely describe the problem. It'll hint about where the problem lies, but you have to work to find the root cause. It doesn't help in my situation. You expect an error message to point to the field or what is causing the issue."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex...The technical support my company receives from the implementation partners of the solution is not that great."
"We have upgraded to the latest version right now. We have issues with the quality. We tried to enroll in their Evergreen program which was meant to help us adopt any service update or anything that the tool’s providers come up with."
"The integration is a bit complex, and post-implementation support services need to be improved. They have a service center based out of Sri Lanka. The support aspect is good, but the response time is a little slower than we anticipated. In the next release, it would be better if Warehouse Management could be improvised. They have a product line that's a data warehouse management system, but it's still premature and requires a bit of enhancement."
"Ability to place approval check-points in the custom workflow, so clients can decide what they want it."
"There were initial difficulties when I started using the application."
"It would be helpful for the end-user if the reports were customized. They would be able to select the fields while generating their reports."
"I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner."
"Areas that need improvement are the add-ons to the fluid pages and additional features in SCM and finance, both functionally and technically."
"One of the areas that could improve is the capability of utilizing mobile for some of the self-service activities that are missing. They are running on the older platform. What is happening is people are focusing on the cloud. PeopleSoft is a good provider and should into the cloud. That could be an advantage for them. Customers would not have to go find another solution that is a completely different platform that has different functionality altogether."
"The solution could have better processes and automation, or features that allow for a paperless environment."
"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"In my opinion, it needs more performance, maybe something technical related, because it's very slow for us and even small activities take a while."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
