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 Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
"The time system is what we get the most benefit from."
"Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market."
"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"The PeopleSoft interface is very good."
"Stability-wise, it is a good tool."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"I have found all the modules related to finance valuable, such as account management and HR. The entire suite is very useful."
"ERP is very stable."
"SAP is a very process controlled application. It does not allow users to manage the data. Once the initial process is set, it works smoothly."
"They provide a full service."
"The most valuable features of SAP ERP are that its robust, user-friendly, and secure."
"The solution has made the most significant impact on our human resources function, specifically in HR operations and HR analytics. One feature of SAP ERP that I found most valuable is its use of codes for accessing specific functions."
"The best thing that SAP ERP has is the extensive coverage of processes for every field and business unit such as procurement, inventory, financials, asset management, plant maintenance, and production. We can cover up to 99.9% processes of our organization, which is the best thing about this solution. It also has a very good capability to integrate with other applications. The security and authorization level of SAP ERP is very high. No other solution can match this level."
"SAP ERP's interface is pretty easy nowadays, as it has evolved over time and has been made as user-friendly as a person would like it."
"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."
"Often support just asks people to install a lot of upgrades. Sometimes they don't really give you clear details as to why you need to upgrade. They just say, "You need to upgrade this because there's a newer image, etc". They never really give you the reason underlying why you are having errors."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."
"The product is not intuitive, and finding the right candidate can be arduous."
"Tools and UI could be enhanced."
"I would like to see it become available again in Mexico."
"The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great."
"The power of ABAP Development Tools is the main valuable feature in the SAP ECC system. Every couple of years SAP upgrades ABAP technology significantly, which facilitates developers' work."
"When evaluating the current version I am using now, the SAP GUI is old-style and needs to be replaced with something more modern and easy to use. However, the SAP GUI is very optimized for connection networks and is extremely good. Many people would like to have a WebGUI or something else to have access in a different way. Additionally, there could be some drag and drop functionality added because these features are normally in any website that this solution does not have."
"The system is very big. It is not exactly user-friendly, due to the fact that it's so massive and complex."
"The speed to build and the speed to deliver could be better."
"I think that implementation could be simplified."
"In previous generations, SAP was stable and the roadmap was very predictable, but currently it's very difficult."
"We will not make any major changes, and we are not expecting any enhancements or new features from SAP because they already have a new solution. No development is happening on SAP ERP because SAP has come up with a new version called SAP S/4HANA, which is memory-based technology. We are planning to upgrade to SAP S/4HANA, but we don't know when it will happen. We are in the preparation phase."
"The user interface could be improved. For example, sometimes you're missing some data and can't complete a task. There should be some built-in support and suggestions on how to solve your problem. I would also like the interface to be optimized to work better with mobile devices like tablets and smartphones."
