"PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality. Some customers use it for its finance module.""Very stable in terms of performance and scalability.""The solution is easy to scale, expand and make bigger.""The recruiting is most valuable. It saves time in having easy and fast applicants tracking as well as candidates' contact plus pipeline management.""The customizations allow us to come up with a lot of complex labor rules.

The solution offers up a lot of flexibility and customization that is perfect for our region's requirements.""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.""It's very fully featured.

Cons
"Infor's support side is not that good, and they seem to be focusing on other products above LX.""It lacks in finance and administration, especially related to Italian accounting.""The connectors, performance, and knowledgebase availability can be improved.""It's based on AS/400 or Power i, a robust technology and platform. However, it is harder to manage admin most of the time."

More Infor LX Cons →

"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate.""The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great.""The solution's initial setup is not straightforward.""One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization.""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.""I would like to see better support, bug fixing, and documentation.""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.""The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
