PeopleSoft Previous Solutions

JorgeMartinez2 - PeerSpot reviewer
Director of Information Systems at Knight Foundation

I have worked with Workday, SAP, and Oracle. They all have their merits, and they all have their drawbacks. It comes down to a few factors. First, consider the complexity of your organization, especially if it's multinational. Second, consider the specific features you require. Third, the availability of personnel to maintain the system must be assessed. 

When an upgrade or maintenance is required, having dedicated staff on board can be advantageous in PeopleSoft. It allows for better preparation and change management. Staff can inform stakeholders and manage the implementation at a suitable time. On the other hand, Workday may not require onsite IT staff for upgrades since they're often rolled out seamlessly. This lack of control means changes can occur anytime without sufficient notice to stakeholders.

Choosing between systems like PeopleSoft and others depends on the organization's needs and ability to adapt to changes effectively.

I'm also familiar with SAP, which doesn't have as many configuration capabilities. I'm also familiar with Workday.

Peoplesoft is your own instance. You're not stuck in a multi-tenant deployment where you have no control over the features or the functionality.  PeopleSoft, due to the fact that it's your own instance and even in the cloud, it's not run as SaaS. With PeopleSoft, have complete control over what you're doing, so you can customize and change a lot. Even in the cloud it runs as single tenant PaaS which gives a lot of advantages.

In two of my organizations, I have used PeopleSoft. The first organization where I used PeopleSoft was long ago, and in the other organization, the company moved from PeopleSoft to Oracle HRMS.

I have worked with similar solutions, including Oracle Cloud, for the past ten years. While my involvement may not have been hands-on, I have experience with it. PeopleSoft is the superior choice among the options, including Oracle Cloud and Ramco. Rampco is considered outdated, and when comparing these three, PeopleSoft remains the preferred vendor. However, I cannot speak to the relative merits of PeopleSoft compared to Workday, SAP, or SuccessFactors as I do not have enough information on those systems.

I am also using Oracle Taleo, Oracle HCM Cloud, and Ceridian.

Ceridian was a great product, but we made a company change and the new company used PeopleSoft.

The new platform Oracle Fusion is much more comprehensive. It has a better user interface and all the components you need, including finance functions like cash and procurement and everything on the HR and CM side, so it's a far more integrated suite. So that's a viable option. At the moment, I don't think people are looking at PeopleSoft. They're looking look at Oracle and SAP. Workday is good from a CM perspective, and it's SAP or Oracle on the financial side.

I have implemented Workday, SAP, and Oracle as well. Each has its merits and drawbacks.

Each has its strengths and weaknesses, so the best choice depends on your organization's specific needs. Here are some factors to consider:

 Complexity: How complex is your organization? Is it multinational?

 Features: What specific features are you looking for?

 IT Staff: How many IT personnel do you have on staff? Do you regularly maintain the system?

PeopleSoft, for example, allows you to schedule upgrades and inform users beforehand. This gives your IT team time to manage the implementation and minimize disruption.

On the other hand, take Workday as an example. It's simpler in terms of IT staffing because updates automatically roll out. One day you're working with one interface, and the next day it might change due to an overnight update by Workday. The advantage here is not needing IT staff to manage the transition. 

However, the downside is that updates occur at Workday's discretion, possibly without adequate time to inform all stakeholders about changes they'll encounter. Ultimately, the decision depends on your organization's needs and its capacity to manage change going forward.

Technical Team Lead at Rotary International

We work with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. We also use Oracle PATH, Oracle RXi Reports, and Oracle OBIEE.

In our company, for more than twenty years, we have been using PeopleSoft. So, we were using a custom legacy application where we did not have any ERP. So we had the standalone machines talking to each other where we had a lot of data issues, integration issues like data conflicts and all. After implementing PeopleSoft as our ERP solution, I mean, we could get away with many other different subsystems. And with different technologies built into PeopleSoft. So we should get one system to help us and dissolve all those needs. We had many legacy systems.

For more than twenty years, our company has used PeopleSoft. Before implementing PeopleSoft as our ERP solution, we were using a custom legacy application, which led to a situation where standalone machines had to communicate with each other, resulting in numerous issues related to data management and integration issues like data conflicts. However, with the implementation of PeopleSoft, we could do away with many other subsystems we had in place, owing to the different technologies built into PeopleSoft. As a result, we got one system that could help us dissolve all of our needs. Previously, we had legacy systems.

DGM HR at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

I've worked for different companies, and each had its own ERP solution. My previous company was using Aramco, but they switched to Oracle. Then I another company with no HR system, so everything was manual, but they implemented SAP. 

I joined my current company in 2011, and they were using PeopleSoft, but they merged with another firm that was using SAP. Now we have a hybrid system. Some of our modules are SAP, and others are SuccessFactors or PeopleSoft. We're also using Cornerstone OnDemand for training, learning, and development.

The major difference I've noticed between PeopleSoft and other systems I've used lies in its intuitiveness and user-friendliness. Over my four and a half years of using PeopleSoft, I've become more accustomed to navigating it, but for new users, it can still pose a challenge compared to other systems.

I have previously used Oracle Taleo and it's far superior to the E-recruit feature in PeopleSoft. There's more functionality in Oracle Taleo than there is in E-recruit.

Sr Advisor, Delivery Executive ERP at a non-profit with 1,001-5,000 employees

We were on JD Edwards previously. We had been on it for 12 years. We had never upgraded so we're still going through a cultural shift in being on a product that is progressive, that is continually changing. We're trying to keep up with the usability side of it, which is a struggle for our users, but they're seeing the value in it and they're letting go of the old, comfortable JDE system. It's been a little difficult at first, but it's gotten much, much better in the last year-and-a-half.

Senior Account Manager at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees

I'm at my current organization for the last 10 years. When I came onboard, they were using spreadsheets. There was a very good reason to avoid the manual work. Spreadsheets get lost all the time; they sit in mailboxes and pile up. I struggled with that for a couple of years before we moved to a nice product and that really helped. There was an urgent need. I think that need has been largely met. I'm not saying that it's the best product on the market, but it's still doing good, to me.

Sr. Peoplesoft Administrator at a local government with 1,001-5,000 employees

We definitely looked at other products but with the kind of complexity we have and the business we do, we found that PeopleSoft is the best tool so far which can give us our desirable results.

Since I just joined my current company a few months ago, I am not sure. I think Oracle has it's own HR product and also a cloud-based company such as Salesforce and VMware. We have not reached up to that level and our challenge is to go with them. Definitely, we have looked into those products too and we found out that PeopleSoft is best for us with their current business model.
