Cons
"I think the inventory part it should be simplified. There is the GR, or good receipt note, which is the time that the materials comes in, and the work days, etc. There is a lot of shuffling through pages, which creates a lot of problems for our users. They don't know which page to go to, where to create a GR, or where to create a stock entry. In other words, all the information is very daunting. It's very easy for people to understand and get a better clarity over it.""The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization.""Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements.""I would like to see better support, bug fixing, and documentation.""PeopleSoft lacks integration capabilities.""We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product.""PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems."

More PeopleSoft Cons →

"The product's configuration process needs improvement.""Licensing is a major challenge in the solution.""This solution does not support right to left for the Arabic Language, and the Arabic text support is very bad.""SAP SuccessFactors Learning doesn't have a punch-in and punch-out facility.""I am talking about SAP in general, so there are multiple screens that you have to go through, and it takes some time to get used to it.""The product must make the integrations more seamless.""The consultants implementing this solution could be more knowledgeable.""The application integration between cloud and on-premises storage has been completed. However, there is still room for improvement in integrating EC and SAP applications."
