You can also configure Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."

"I often say that PeopleSoft's greatest feature is how customizable it is."

"UKG allows us to customize our home screen so that we can easily monitor important items on a daily basis."
"The solution has improved our organization by helping us cut hours and lessen our labor force. It saved us probably over $100,000 in just the last couple of years."
"The most valuable feature is being able to get time management reports which break out reclassified jobs and departments to separate areas of the company. This allows for better tracking of hours spent in certain jobs and where more hours may be needed."
"I like UKG's integration."
"It enables us to manage the system ourselves. We don't need an additional team to do a lot of maintenance and add the things that we want."

"If there is another release, they should look at going to mobile computing to stay competitive."
"There could be more adaptability of the system."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great."

"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."
"The Work Center feature in PeopleSoft is a step in the right direction in consolidating someone's role-based interaction with the system. This enhanced functionality streamlines workflows and improves efficiency."
"The navigation on the screen could be better. Sometimes, I have to dig a little bit deep to find what I need. Everything is there. It just needs to be a little bit smoother."
"The solution could use better reporting with standard reports. We use the Cognos platform in BI for a lot of our reporting. However, they need to have more robust standard reporting available to their user base."
"Certainly, the time and attendance and the payroll integration need a lot of work. They are disjointed pieces, and they don't work smoothly together. That's the main drawback."
"One area where UKG could improve is in its ability to understand its own competency and then work hard to improve it."
"I would like to see more functionality in the next release to be able to get hours and dollars per calendar month rather than just by payroll in the Business Intelligence reports."
"Reporting is always a hurdle for any user just because it is so extensive. They provide a lot of out-of-the-box reports, but it is something that you always need to work on because you need more advanced writing of reports."
"UKG could be a little more flexible in some areas."
"The solution could improve by simplifying it even more core reports, such as more sample reports, more generic reports that you can edit and improve on yourself."
