PeopleSoft Reviews

“perfect fit for me”

Pros

A complete all in one software which is also user friendly!

Cons

Don't have any issues to mention.

“excellent for bigger companies”

Pros

As someone working at a big firm I find this tool effective for enterprise use and very easy to use. My team relies on it mainly for audits and compiling reports.

Cons

It feels somewhat dated to me. There are newer apps that do similar things and I can tell my company is beginning to move away from it.

“Great value for money”

Pros

The value for money is outstanding especially compared to other options I've tried. Customer service has been phenomenal....always responsive and genuinely helpful. And the ease of use? It's simply in a league of its own. I honestly couldn't ask for a better combination of affordability, support and simplicity.

Cons

My only real con is that I've heard salespeople using fairly aggressive and possibly unethical tactics. Those kinds of concerns have been cropping up in conversations I've had.

“Handles HR tasks for us”

Pros

I've relied on it as the backbone of our system for over fifteen years now. Beyond handling student-facing portals, it also manages HR functions for us. In our experience it adapts well to a university environment and has proven to be dependable and stable.

Cons

Using it does involve a noticeable learning curve and some of the routes to certain pages aren't particularly user-friendly. Thankfully the favorites feature is handy and helps workaround those awkward paths. I've noticed occasional service interruptions when traffic spikes often when well over twenty thousand people are trying to access the system simultaneously. Since I don't have insight into how our setup is architected it's quite possible these outages stem from our local servers rather than PeopleSoft itself.

“Wide range of features”

Pros

I'm really impressed with the wide range of features and how convenient they feel to use. The interface makes everyday tasks simple. Someone with any level of experience should be able to use it without trouble.

Cons

Overall I don't have major complaints about the product although if pressed to mention something it would be the sheer number of choices presented which can feel a bit overwhelming at times.

“Very complicated”

Pros

I get nothing out of it. It is painfully hard to use and I find the interface completely unusable on mobile devices.

Cons

Honestly everything about it frustrates me. If I had the option to move to a different HR management tool, I'd plead for that change and fight hard to make it happen.

“Offers useful modules”

Pros

We use this software for HR management, file organization, performance management, maintaining databases and people information databases and it includes many modules

Cons

No drawbacks as such. I find it convenient for preparing files and reports, handling data management solutions and overseeing supplier management

“automation saves time”

Pros

I really like that I can create multiple reports and set up automation for many different processes which saves me time and keeps things consistent.

Cons

Customizing the system takes a lot of time and effort and the way the information is presented isn't always easy to understand.

“complex reporting”

Pros

From the way our company had it configured I wouldn't call it the top HR solution as there are definitely superior alternatives. Still we rely on it as a global platform across the US, Canada and India. Since this was my first time working with it, compared with systems like SuccessFactors I personally found it somewhat more complex to handle. That said a lot of that complexity might come down to how our instance was set up rather than the software itself.

Cons

My main issue is reporting and updates as the process feels fiddly. For example if I try to upload backdated changes but there's already an entry with a later effective date, I have to remove that later line before the upload will go through. That makes routine updates more tedious than they should be.

“Powerful system”

Pros

It's a powerful platform that handles extremely large numbers of transactions without breaking a sweat.

Cons

The interface feels uninspired and disconnected from the way normal business transactions flow.

“Friendly site”

Pros

Using it feels quite easy. The site is very user-friendly and works across many devices without a hitch. I really like the animated icons, the clear step-by-step walkthroughs for enrolling in health benefits and the simple direct deposit setup process.

Cons

I can't think of any downsides and I genuinely love using it.

“simplifies my work”

Pros

This really simplifies my work. I can pull a wide variety of reports and forms and it feels like an all-in-one assistant.

Cons

Honestly I adore this product so much that there really isn't anything about it I dislike.

“easy to use”

Pros

For my part, I found it simple to use as an HRMS platform. It felt very easy to use and get work done.

Cons

These days I feel it comes across as rather dated especially since modern solutions like Workday represent the current state-of-the-art in HR systems.

“convenient solution for HR tasks”

Pros

I find it convenient for my everyday HR tasks like submitting timesheets, applying for leave and monitoring my employment records

Cons

It would feel more interactive if they added a chatbot and I'd appreciate that.

“Lets us run reports regularly”

Pros

I appreciate that the applications let my team generate reports regularly, tapping into multiple database metrics essential for our evaluations.

Cons

My team found the learning curve for deployment and productive use demands a large group of specialists, including ongoing support. Although the interface can be adjusted, it still feels somewhat dated from a UI/UX perspective.

“simple updates”

Pros

I'm generally comfortable using it. I find the interface tidy and most updates are simple to install.

Cons

There are times when I notice certain features feel constrained and I wish the guidance on using them was more thorough and clear.

“centralized solution”

Pros

We pretty much have everything in one place. We can handle and audit our finances, dig into inventory tracking, evaluate and rate suppliers and generally manage them with ease, among other things.

Cons

I need a constant internet connection. When connectivity drops or there are technical failures, we can run into serious issues that disrupt our work.

“Helpful tool”

Pros

I've found this software to be very useful for people working within production environments!

Cons

It's a little old-fashioned and there are definitely areas that could be improved.

“Useful shortcuts”

Pros

Appreciate the keyboard shortcuts that let me access certain features quickly and easily.

Cons

Unfortunately I keep getting prompted to log in every time my computer goes to sleep which is annoying.

“all-in-one solution”

Pros

I use this product for everything from running reports to entering contracts. It really supports how our organization operates. When I run queries, it helps me hit targets and track progress. I also rely on the 'favorites' feature since it gives me fast access to the tools I use most often.

Cons

For me the main drawback is that finding a new tool or an unfamiliar option can feel somewhat clunky and time-consuming. If it had a modernized search or discovery feature, I believe it would make the system easier to use and greatly boost overall accessibility and day-to-day usability.
