No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This program has so much information in it once you learn it.

And since the most recent update or so, it no longer shows the bread crumbs on top. So when i am training others, it's not possible to follow them (breadcrumbs). --- ### Decent product by a leading provider - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Sabrina Y. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall it is a decent product, there are some inefficiencies within the program; however, I believe this could be fixed based on the buildout for the organization and what developers identify is needed. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros One of the main features I love about this product is the development of reports and queries. It also allows reports to be exported into various formats as well. #### Cons Some of the processes within the program are redundant. Requesting information can be a bit inefficient because the program requests various steps to produce one report or functionality within the system. #### Reasons for switching to Oracle PeopleSoft More efficient platform. --- ### Good holistic HRIS - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Matt M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

We would accept time via the platform feed, fax, email, etc. This is crucial when dealing with timekeeping methods from various clients. #### Cons I would love for there to be a communication system built in, perhaps notes or something of this nature. And for those to be tied to the payroll record. --- ### Not intuitive and difficult to navigate - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Lizzy S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros There are many different categories where you can find and store information about different accounts. #### Cons Peoplesoft my be a fine software, but it should not be used for higher education administration.

Always go with the option that is most beneficial to your company's long-term survival. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros In terms of ERP and HRM, PeopleSoft is a top-notch solution. Employee data serve as the basis for this cloud-based application, which is used to manage numerous business requirements. Anyone can use it because it has a simple user interface. By using several IDs, you can search for an employee and get all the records they've kept while working for you in PeopleSoft. To put it succinctly, I admire Oracle systems because they place a high value on the long-term viability of the organization as a whole. #### Cons In spite of the fact that this isn't always a bad thing, you must always stop working while technology specialists provide technical support, which is inconvenient at times. I also think the user interface's simplicity is outdated and needs to be updated, as it frequently bores me. --- ### Clunky and Slow - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros You can add frequently used reports or screens to your My Favorites list for easy access. The Worklist functionality makes it easy to see what PTRs (Personnel Transaction Requests) are awaiting your action. #### Cons PeopleSoft is clunky and slow. I spend so much of my day watching the blue loading icon cycle. The reports have long names that aren't very intuitive, e.g. Commit Accting Cross-Reference shows you what positions are currently assigned to a particular account. There are hundreds of different roles to be able to view, create, and approve different requests. The role titles and descriptions are confusing, and they aren't grouped by job function. Whenever you hire a new person, it's exhausting to figure out what roles they will need to perform their job. --- ### PeopleSoft - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros There is a lot that can be done with this software. My current job requires us to use this software as well as the university where I am currently a student. Part of my job is to generate expense reports or fund equity reports as well as create and update vouchers through this software and so far it has been productive. #### Cons When I generate reports, it takes about 3 minutes per report. I usually have to generate reports for multiple departments so in order to save time, I like to initiate the process for all of them so that I can multitask and save time. Unfortunately when I do that, the system gets confused and doesn't register when I pick a different department and ends up generating 2 of the same report. I think that is something that they can optimize better. --- ### Very flexible system, easy to use - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Once you know the system well, it is very easy to build the report or journal entries for pretty much any requirements. The system is very flexible and it is really useful when you are trying to find a particular number or transaction in large company #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy to learn, easy to navigate system. Once you are comfortable with one version of People Soft, you can easily adopt to upgrades. It is almost impossible to post out of balance journal ( system protects itself). Account mapping is not complicated, but does require knowledge of People Soft and accounting itself ( like ability to do T accounts). I worked on People Soft in the very large and medium one, People Soft worked well in both companies #### Cons Some variety of People Soft do not allow to run across different business units and this is quite painful for accounting group during month end close. Crystal reports could be very tricky and have a tendency to slow down at the inopportune moments. --- ### Poorly designed - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Not much. The financial portion was pretty limited but it made it sort of easy to understand without too much training. #### Cons The HR product was godawful. Payroll Expense Transfers would take hours to complete bc costs would go to 2 decimals but percentages to 3, and the system would automatically round up to costs that actually weren’t there if the two were at odds. Sometimes this would happen I should say, and it wasn’t consistent. Total waste of time for something that shouldn’t happen. --- ### ORACLE PEOPLESOFT - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: BRIDGETTE J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Accounting - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We use the software for Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and payroll. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I have peoplesoft for many years. If you purchase everything you need when getting the program, you should not have any issues using. We use the software for AP, AR and payroll. #### Cons This particular peoplesoft software we are using for the current State Agency I work for is the worse peoplesoft software I ever used. It has limitations, not user friendly, and difficult to fix without cost. --- ### Very Hokey Program - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros You've probably used Peoplesoft at some point in your life; whether you went to University or used it at work for HR Systems - it does a lot and has a lot of abilities; but, the cost is enormous and it had a lot of problems from an end-user perspective. #### Cons Constantly having to update the software because end users have issues. Very hokey in its execution Constantly requires JAVA updates?? Oracle charges a lot to keep it in service. --- ### Solid product! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The system is not flashy but it gets the job done. I used it at the University I worked at to track students grades, classes, financial info, etc. Once you learn how to navigate the system (which isn't too difficult) you have access to a lot information quickly. #### Cons There was a little bit of a learning curve as you get used to the system. However, once you understand the functionality, it's very useful. --- ### Terrible interfacing, glitchy - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros I am required to use this software to interact with Legal Aid as a private lawyer. The only positive thing that I can say is that it is relatively simple in its interface. #### Cons Navigation is absolutely terrible. If using the back button in browser, the session usually times out or glitches, requiring a fresh login. Navigation can be quite confusing and difficult. --- ### Great for Large Organization - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Government Administration - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I've worked at several companies that use PeopleSoft for general HR purposes, like time sheets, payroll and finance, employee information, etc. I think it generally works really well for these things. It's not a pretty interface, and it looks kind of bare bones, but it does exactly what you need it to do. There was one glitch where a certain routing number for a bank was showing up with the wrong bank name, causing some payroll issues a couple years ago, but the company was responsive in fixing it, so it's not ongoing. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy to navigate, well organized, categorization works great, fast, many features available for large numbers of employees, possibility to designate different access for different employees. #### Cons The interface looks rather primitive, and it might not be cost effective for smaller organizations. --- ### Fairly seamless with training - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Government Administration - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It serves as an effective database for my company. Once trained on how to enter information and pull certain information out - metrics can be easy to review. #### Cons End users don't necessarily have the ability to customize reporting. Special requests have to be made but that could be the way that my company has it configured. --- ### Difficult implementation, but very robust - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Felix P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It is a fully baked HRIS system that requires extensive buisiness analyst knowledge to implement. But once implemented, hard to switch to a different system. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Very robust tools and I like the data structure. From a vanilla implementation perspective, it's very clean as an HRIS system. The modules are straightforward and there is a lot of spec documentation available. #### Cons Customization is a beast. A lot of testing involved an depending on the consultants you have, may be a pain to customize from vanilla Peoplesoft. --- ### Great User Administration - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ryan S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall we enjoyed being able to track students through their lifecycle at the university and enjoyed utilizing the alumni tracking capabilities. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros My former organization used PeopleSoft to manage our student population. The software easily allowed us to track students through their life-cycles at the university. Additionally, we enjoyed the ability to track our alumni and keep a database of their current areas, using them for donations in the future. #### Cons Despite having great features, this software is a little more challenging to learn. However, Oracle does provide some excellent training videos online and their conference gives an even more in-depth look at the product. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/help-desk/peoplesoft-it-asset-management-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Oracle PeopleSoft Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
