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 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.

Cons
"The solution could improve by offering PeopleSoft site licenses. Currently, Oracle is pushing for everyone to transition to the cloud, but clients are discontent with this approach. Offering new PeopleSoft site licenses would be the most beneficial for our clients.""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.""It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development.""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.""Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework.""We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product.""Tools and UI could be enhanced.""If there is another release, they should look at going to mobile computing to stay competitive."

More PeopleSoft Cons →

"Our business has grown beyond the capabilities of Business One. We need a bigger ERP solution, and therefore we are moving away.""There are problems with Business One's collection management and reconciliation.""Overall, the integration and the reports can be better.""SAP could improve the performance of the business alignment with other products.""In SAP Business One, customization can be made easier...I would tell those planning to use the solution that though it is a good solution, it might not be a complete solution since there are some missing features in it.""Security could be improved.""Lacks ability to integrate with other tools.""The standard SAP Business One is sufficient for the Indian region. There is no need for further enhancement as custom solutions can be designed and developed to meet specific needs. For example, HR and payroll is not a standard feature of the solution, but they can be created as a separate custom solution. However, payroll is not a standard function due to the varying norms and regulations across India's 29 states and union territories. Therefore, a standard payroll solution cannot be provided by SAP to add utility and features. Adding it would lead to different versions of the solution and more complexity in managing them. However, it would be useful to have addons to cover the other states which have different regulations."
