PeopleSoft Valuable Features

HarishMahanta - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr PeopleSoft Consultant at People Tech

As a technical developer, the technical support features are the most valuable. Specifically, I work with the application engine, component interface, XL to CI tools, REST APIs, activity guides, and the event mapping framework. These tools allow me to handle day-to-day technical support tasks, such as fixing issues with existing pages and resolving technical issues that arise. Additionally, I use these tools to implement new enhancements and deliver end-to-end solutions for my clients.

There are thousands of features in the solution. I can't tell you just one feature. Stability, performance, and price are secondary. The best use case is what you create, what you need to identify, and what is the problem statement in the business. Accordingly, we suggest a solution statement. Like, if you have a problem statement in your communication, then we provide you with the best industry technology, which improves your overall communication in the company. If you have an issue in your sales and marketing, we will give you the best solution on how to improve your sales and marketing. Also, we try to improve one's current test strategy.

PeopleSoft is a fantastic solution. It's deployable in the cloud. 

It's very fully featured. It has equal in feature/function and more configurability than SAP.

The customization is great. Also, you can change it significantly without having to write much code. That's a big benefit for multinational organizations. 

It's very stable.

Technical support is decent.

The solution is incredibly scalable.

What makes PeopleSoft stand out are a few key factors. First, its user interface is impressive, and a couple of years ago, it was notably faster than many Oracle cloud-based platforms I have encountered. Second, the adaptability of pan-fluid pages adds significant value. Unlike other systems that struggle with mobile applications, PeopleSoft seamlessly adjusts to various screen sizes, making it very user-friendly. Lastly, the multi-currency support is a standout feature. In most other systems, payrolls are limited to a single currency, but in PeopleSoft, a single payroll can handle multiple currencies, which is highly practical and efficient.

Technical Team Lead at Rotary International

Regarding features, PeopleSoft excels in several areas, like stability, portability, and integrations, including PeopleSoft Component Interface. PeopleSoft Application Engine handles all batch-related jobs. Despite being around ten to fifteen years old, the Application Engine remains one of the best solutions in the market today, given its reliable performance.

When it comes to features, PeopleSoft's General Ledger functionality stands out. Creating and posting journal entries is seamless, with a low risk of errors. Even if errors occur, the system provides informative error messages rather than cryptic ones. So, even functional users can understand it very quickly.

PeopleSoft is a good core system. It has a lot of functionality. They frequently update the solution and recently they have added some good enhancement features for higher education. We just switched to the new fluid interface and that is working very well for us. It is very good.

Employees can use PeopleSoft to input their time and their own absences. Additionally, they can look at their paychecks and configure their direct deposits.

It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features. For example, we are doing load balancing and it does this perfectly. When more people need to use the system, Oracle Cloud infrastructure automatically scales up the ERP deployment so that it can handle millions of people using it.

The answer to this question will vary from one client to another. Some Clients are more focused on the processes of how it's working within the system. Others are more focused on what they can improve by using more PeopleSoft features. Most of them are not sure what functionality has given them more leisure towards doing things manually. Most of the time issues are around customizations that are part of standard practice which is at times hard for clients to get rid of and that process becomes a habit and the resistance is noticed not only from employees but by the organization as a whole, which I think is not very productive.

It’s more configurable than it used to be. This makes it easier. You have opportunities where coding is not required and I think that’s the direction they are heading in, but if you have complex needs this does create an issue.

It has definitely evolved over time. I like the direction they are going in. It’s more robust now than it used to be, although sometimes that’s a good thing and sometimes a bad thing!

Regional Director at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

The most valuable feature is that it's wide and broad and it does about everything anybody needs in a major organization from a back-office systems point of view. 

It's a mature product. I've been using it since 1994. It came out maybe a few years before that. It's matured over the years to where, from a back-office system point of view in those primary areas, if you want an all-inclusive system, you can do almost anything you need to do with PeopleSoft without having to buy other third party systems to bolt on to it.

They continue to improve and support the product. The latest announcement was that they're going to continue to support it through 2032. However, every year they add a year or two to that. They confirm their outgoing support for 10 years almost every year.

it_user920244 - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

I basically deal with order management, purchasing order, inventory and accounts receivable.

In general, this solution is user-friendly and also performs well. There are two types of forms. One is a standardized form, which you can define things into. The other, you can customize so more repetition can be done in an even manner. That way, it can be designed for what the public or user actually wants. It's not very tough for any person, or layman to understand exactly what the screen requires one to do.

I believe this software is quite easy to work with, because I have used other software, such as SAP. I find Oracle and SAP are both easier to work with than other apps.

The other reason I use this solution is because I have only worked for one and a half years with SAP, whereas I have been working with Oracle for nine years, so I have more experience in Oracle and I find it more user-friendly.

Madhuri Turumella - PeerSpot reviewer

The most valuable feature is the core HR, the strength, how the data is captured, and position management that gives flexibility in different organizations.

Also, the work center where you can see the different steps in your activity guide. There are different tasks that need to be performed for a recruiter to set up an activity guide. He can see all of the tasks to complete the upgrading for a new hire.

The ease of use. PeopleSoft is easy to understand, where any end user that is logged in can easily navigate through the menus. You don't need any help as long as you have the instructions.

We love the General Ledger feature. It does what we need it to do -- financial reports of accounts payable, T&O, and T&E. I'm not called at 2 am to put out a fire anymore. And for me, the stability is extremely important. It's important that it's reliable, up, and available for clients when they need.

The feature that I have found most valuable is having the sources so that you're able to adapt the product to your needs. That was a big benefit. Then, when we chose Oracle, it was also for the graphical interface, which was already uploaded at that time. These are the two big advantages.

For example, any time you need to search information for any employee, you do not need to navigate through different screens and menus. You just type any information about the person and you can start to navigate. It's very practical and saves a lots of time. Its also easier for employees that only access the application one or two times per month.

We've had a really excellent customer experience with it because of two main features -- it's easy to upgrade and it interfaces well with other systems. Ease-of-upgrade is important because we need to maintain the our workflow without the interruption of waiting for the system to upgrade. And we have other applications we run, so it's important that PeopleSoft can interface with them and everything works together.
