Oracle PeopleSoft HCMUKG Pro
Considered Both Products
Oracle PeopleSoft HCM
Chose Oracle PeopleSoft HCM
For internal employee management, Oracle and UltiPro are neck and neck. UltiPro has a better built-in ATS and better employee experience.
Chose Oracle PeopleSoft HCM
I've used ADP Payroll and quite frankly, ADP Payroll borrows a lot from PeopleSoft. Working with ADP is much like working with PeopleSoft. With PeopleSoft, however, we can run many processes in-house that ADP would run for us off-site.
UKG Pro
Chose UKG Pro
The organization already had UKG Pro - it was nothing that was chosen. As far as ranking, it would be last on the list.
Chose UKG Pro
UKG Pro [(formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro)] is more user friendly, has a easier interface, more features, better compliance.
Chose UKG Pro
I have previously used PeopleSoft and that was an extremely difficult system to navigate. It was not user-friendly when corrections need to be made. ULG pro is user-friendly, the navigation tabes are easy to understand and it makes using the system easy to make inputs.
Chose UKG Pro
UKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro) ran so much more smoothly than what we were previously using. Upgrades are great; however, I do find the new BI reporting package a little confusing. Still a great reporting tool. I believe UKG does care about their customers, and …
Chose UKG Pro
UKG is more focused on HR than others which means the R&D is better spent for HR Professionals.
Chose UKG Pro
Although UKG Pro was used by my former employer, other products were evaluated from time to time. My recollection is that Lawson was costly and not as user-friendly. It's difficult to look at any other HCM objectively after using UKG Pro!
Chose UKG Pro
We decided on UKG Pro because our team came into the organization with prior experience using Ultipro. Both HR and Payroll managers were familiar with Ultipro's functions and capabilities. After reviewing other vendors listed above, we decided Ultipro was the best option. …
Chose UKG Pro
UKG [Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro)] is much more user friendly that PeopleSoft. At the time I utilized PeopleSoft, the company required and HRIS support person on staff. UKG does not require us to hire a dedicated HR support employee as we are able to obtain the …
Chose UKG Pro
UKG Pro is competitive in its pricing models but more transparent than some other products we have used. They are consistently ranked as one of the top employers in their industry and this comes across in all dealings with their employees from contract negotiations, to …
Chose UKG Pro
My experience with UltiPro is much better than PeopleSoft and Lawson. This is a very comprehensive, easy to use system.
Chose UKG Pro
I did not have a say in selecting UKG Pro in our organization, as that was done at the territorial level. In my personal experience, UKG Pro is easier to use than Oracle PeopleSoft (but that's a low bar), and less glitchy than Zenefits. SuccessFactors is comparable in terms of …
Chose UKG Pro
I couldn't add the ADP module I used - but it was a great product for a small organization.

ADP Reporting was an extremely easy and powerful report writer
Chose UKG Pro
Ultipro is by far the easiest of these to use. What sets Ultipro apart is the workforce at Ultimate Software that puts People First, ensuring that the customer -- while not always right -- that the customer is always informed and always empowered to perform their very best. …
Chose UKG Pro
I wasn’t involved in bringing in UltiPro into the organization but it very user-friendly with inputting information for each of the contractors we hire to work. No issues on uploading Onboarding documents or keying in direct deposit or tax information. I think it’s one of the …
Chose UKG Pro
UltiPro focuses on core HR and payroll products. While they continue to expand their core offerings, they don't stray away from the most critical environment of any HCM, HRIS, and Payroll.
Chose UKG Pro
Miles apart and so many more features than systems I have used and reviewed
Chose UKG Pro
I have used PeopleSoft for most of my HR career and was very happy with the ability to customize it to fit our needs. I'm not aware of being able to do the same with UltiPro. I have also used Taleo for recruiting and loved the fact that Taleo would feed onboarding to PeopleSoft,…
Chose UKG Pro
Much easier to navigate for both the user and admin.

Oracle
Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is great for tracking most HR related information. The customization for the company is great, as well as the ability to integrate with a wide variety of complimentary software. For example, ours is integrated with our ATS (Taleo) for recruiting, Kronos for timekeeping, and Vemo for workforce insight reports. Given it's overall ability, it is probably overkill for smaller companies that may want a more focused HRIS that can handle everything without the need to integrate with additional software.

UKG did well when we had issues with employees working for both agencies. We called the Rapid Response Team, and they fixed those issues on their back end. Another example is with the Amended W-2 form; they gave us instructions to do it ourselves, but it was not working, and need to make phone calls to get help.

Cons
Oracle
  • We have issues with students using Time & Labor for multiple jobs, where time is incorrectly calculated, including negative balances where none exist.
  • The application is complex and some areas, especially Time & Labor, are very difficult to troubleshoot. The overall level of complexity has increased over the years.
  • We also use Campus Solutions and had to split apart HCM and CS, significantly increasing our maintenance overhead and creating inter-system issues that aren't always resolvable.
  • Campus Solutions has developed a solution for managing preferred names and gender identity that is missing/ incompatible with the HCM product.

UKG
  • As UKG is aware, the support for customers needs some improvement. As the recent changes to the staffing/support hierarchy take effect, I hope to see some relief to the current frustrations.
  • As the UKG Pro products evolve, they need to become more integrated and less segmented. Having to purchase multiple products that then need to coordinate for processing leads to issues.
  • As users, we have a lot of options for self-service and customization, but some simple fixes still require assistance from UKG support. Give us the power to help ourselves whenever possible.

PeopleSoft HCM has provided a very flexible platform for our HR needs. The ability to add customizations to handle some of our unique business processes have been critical in the longevity of our PS HCM use. We've been able to handle a wide variety of business processes for multiple subsidiaries due to the ability to customize when needed.

Oracle HCM has been around for more thab a decade and is a preferred package to use for Human capital management.Ease with which upgrades happen and how updates are pushed has come thru a long way of improvement and research over the years.Oracle has moved toward cloud based architecture which will help in its customers keep at par with current industry trends.

Mobile App: Really easy to use and its nice to have an HR software that actually has an mobile application to be able to enter time and to take care of everything with. Web App: The system is relatively easy to use with maybe a little training at the beginning if you have used another system. But the site is really easy to use and a lot better having everything under one roof

Reliability and Availability
Oracle
I give this rating because we have had no issues in the area of the product's overall availability. In my opinion the resources are there when we need them and the features serve the purpose they are set to do. I feel things have gone really well as far as the availability of the product.

I've found Ultipro to be completely reliable. Outages are typically planned to occur on weekends and only once did I have connections issues connecting Citrix to the server where our environment was housed, but within the hour connection was restored. I think that's a pretty good track record, considering I've used the suite daily for over three years. Especially when processing payroll--say the internet goes down in the middle of you performing a task... Ultipro is able to recognize that a connection error occurred and quickly restores the process that was running, avoiding lost productivity.

Performance

I give this rating because I don't have any complaints in the area of performance. In my opinion the product's performance is right on the mark. In comparison to other systems I have used for the same purpose - recruiting, hiring and managing hires, I have found Oracle's performance to be the best. Oracle system flows better than any other recruiting system out there.

Normally UKG Pro loads quickly. We had been having major issues with reports running in a timely manner but recently they broke out our virtual server to another instance where is wasn't sharing resources and that seems to have helped reporting run more efficiently.

Support Rating
Oracle
Overall support has been positive and Oracle has gladly sent out representatives to meet with our teams in person. Despite sometimes sow and inadequate fixes, their willingness to try and meet face to face helps give them a better name in our organization. Sometimes their people do not understand unique needs of the industry, and it can be a challenge to explain that one size does not fit all. Finding the appropriate IT support for our unique requests has been hit and miss.

Support is quick to respond and helpful when you don't understand how to use or implement their response. They are great at following up and checking in as well as escalating cases when they are more urgent and need more attention.

Online Training

It was a great training tool and provided all of the necessary information we needed to implement the sites for our clients. We were provided with a great deal of resources in regards to Oracle CRM. We didn't have any issues with the training at all. The only thing I would say would that there could be more FAQ's for users to read through

UKG
Most of the online training was very generic (to be expected) but we had specific requirements for configuration that could have been better addressed with more individual sessions earlier on from our project team. However, we did finally begin booking training sessions with our implementation team which were recorded, and so provided additional information for how to correctly configure and test the system.

Implementation Rating

When we implement Oracle and Taleo to different clients it typically goes pretty smoothly. When we do system upgrades we usually test the main issues the clients are having just to make sure there are not outstanding issues or errors. I don't have any examples where implementation went poorly. It typically goes well and clients are pleased with the final result. The only complaint would be the time it takes to implement

Make sure you have all of your tax account information with all the states you are registered in available and that you are knowledgeable about the filing status, frequency, etc. We had some unique challenges with our state unemployment tax set up that I was not aware of and needed to be addressed prior to going live. Working with the state unemployment office can be a challenge.

Great features that are aesthetically amazing and provide trendy reporting features to gain insights, but lacks a fully developed product.

My experience with HRIS systems is limited to UKG Pro. It is the only HRIS I have worked with. I have worked with other systems that perform the tasks of some of its models and have found that when used with the various modules the overall experience with UKG is great. The ability to have all of the modules on the same platform makes the integration between UKG Pro and the modules great!
