Oracle PeopleSoft Reviews

I like that you get to use the whole screen and save your favorite pathways. The ease of saving and the ability to change the title so you remember what it is.

I don’t like how we have to go to so many screens to see all the information for a student. I wish you could pull up the student and see everything.

It allow the ability to resolved a issue on a charge by drilling down and not just from system to system . No running around in search of a paper copy of a invoice . Save so much time.

It was acquired by Oracle and the my employer switch to Oracle 10.7 and lost those abilities for a period of time.

There is a lot of functionality. You can manage people on every level, from hiring to retirement and everything in between.

There are a lot of modules that you can. Depending on your technology level, it can be easy to use or very difficult. You need the right staff that are properly trained.

What I enjoyed most about this software, was again; the user-interface. Allowing me to upload back up spreadsheets for review.

The least thing I valued about this software, was the look. Maybe at the time that I used this; but it seemed very mundane. Lack of colors and dialog boxes!

Back in the day, PeopleSoft was among the most robust HR systems around. Still today it can be incredibly robust though it tends to be more outdated than other solutions available now.

Although Oracle still says they are committed to PeopleSoft for the foreseeable future, they are pumping way more money into their other HR solutions and spending less and less on development and bug fixes for PeopleSoft. While you can report on pretty much anything you want, the built in reporting/query capability is clunky at best, especially when you compare it to some of the newer HR systems (including other Oracle products).

It is a fairly simple software used for inputting worked hours, maintaining job information, completing performance evaluations, etc. The software does what we need it to do.

Software is very out dated, and is not incredibly intuitive upon initial training and use.

Once you get the hang of it is not as bad, it has many functions can build many reports.

Sometimes it can be slow takes time to build reports.

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.

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.

I like that robust employment data is stored in one place, securely, for my employees - from pay information to job position data

I would like to be more versed in PeopleSoft to become more efficient. I think the software could be more intuitive - currently you have to dig for some functions.

I like that there's such a wide breadth of what can be accomplished within PeopleSoft time sheets, expense reports, financial reports, PTO portals, opening job numbers for projects and much, much more. I like that our company used it as a main medium for so many different things. It's much easier when things are centralized in one platform.

Once you know how to use PeopleSoft, it can be one of your best friends. It can be a guiding tool to help better so many departments of a company. It helped me understand the ins and outs and track financials of projects much more vividly than I'd be able to otherwise. My most productive and proactive days at my old job included getting the most out of PeopleSoft and checking in on all of my various jobs (financials, open / close statuses, new jobs, etc.).

PeopleSoft is not user friendly until it's knocked into your head. I was given a manual when I started working at my old company and I had to reference this manual for literally years until it became second nature. There are too many steps and too many clicks to get to the finish line in nearly any task on PeopleSoft. And you have to know what buttons to press to yield a certain result. There are no guides to help you along the way. If you don't have a manual from someone at your job in your SPECIFIC position, you will undoubtedly be lost for a long time. The buttons to press are jibberish, honestly. Often times the buttons you need to press to get to the next page during a process of a task are just random numbers or random letters. I got so used to the program so I knew exactly what to press and when to press it but it took a very long time to get to that point. Even when I did, though, I found the program tedious and overly time consuming.

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.

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.

We utilize PeopleSoft for accounting, travel and expense reimbursement, procurement, asset management, vendors, lease administration and procure-to-pay. The latest version of the software is much better than the old classic interface but still seems to be trailing other solutions.

My biggest challenge with the tool is the amount of internal IT resources and outside consultants that it takes to accomplish even the most mundane fix or improvement.

It is pretty old product and most the issues were easily resolvable with the help of community, no need to wait for customer support.

They stopped supporting old verisons of on premise implementations, now a days offerings are mostly as SaaS and licensing based which is at little bit higher end in terms of cost.

Makes making Human resource changes such as address/phone very easy. I am able to find most of of the things I am looking too. This includes changing my tax exemptions, updating beneficiaries, looking at my time I have avail. ETC

I have no issues at all with people soft everything is easily able to pull up and it always at hand.

As a company that incorporates alot of Oracle applications, it's fantastic how seamless PeopleSoft integrates into the Oracle cloud. It's very easy to transfer data within the compute cloud, and migrate data from testing & dev to the cloud. You can also transfer custom data to the oracle cloud and create various different clusters within your databases. This is vital our our EPM!

At first the interface wasn't my favourite at first, but simply from a design perspective It's functional and very intuitive though.

It is one place to access previous paychecks, mileage reimbursement forms, PTO requests, and salary information. It is relatively user-friendly once you learn the system.

There are some pages, such as the travel/expense form, that do not have any buttons to go back to the homepage. Instead, you have to X out and get back into PeopleSoft manually. It's very inconvenient.

The ability to look at different time frames. Ease and accuracy of code lookup. The expense entry is very easy to use.

I wish there was a way to calculate time from minutes to tenths of an hour in the software. The new user interface is very confusing and does not have the same features as before - I can't find the daily time view and my pending time.

Once you learn it, it's OK. It does give you the ability to favorite screens, which speeds things up.

There are truly a long list of things that I don't like, but one of the biggest is that everything is a mod request. The favorites sometimes attach themselves to the ID of the student that was on the screen at the time, and then I have to watch EVERY SINGLE TIME to be sure that I'm on the right student. Comments? Can't be edited or deleted. Not fun. Plus, it times out on me ALL the time. If it does? It won't restart properly for me fo the next half hour, so I'm always toggling between multiple browsers.

I like how it is easily accessible to stored and access employees data. Information are stored the day employees start and changes that are made are visible for tracking purposes.

It is slow at times but never ran into problem.

Was quite easy to learn and administer without a great deal of training. Running reports was simple.

Was cumbersome at times, with too many unnecessary fields. Required a specialist from another location to develop reports; we weren't able to do so locally.
