More Infor LX Cons →

"PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems.""The area that could be improved is the upgrade process, it's not the easiest. Oracle stopped supporting our version. So we have to move either to the cloud or work in a non-supported situation. That was certainly a disadvantage. That's also the reason why we decided not to stay with Oracle. Now we are moving to SAP.""The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved.""Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements.""PeopleSoft lacks integration capabilities.""Tools and UI could be enhanced.""PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration.""The Time and Labor module is not that flexible."
