  • It has the best flexibility to configure and customize
  • There is a huge community of users and consultants to share experience and help with support
  • Improve the automatic updates of time and attendance regulatory rules
  • Improve the mobile time entry configuration
It is the best core HCM and benefits admin system. It can also do payroll like a champ.

I've mainly been the user of this product in my organization, but actually been using it for a few years now. Used to use it at the two schools I've attended. I used to use it to schedule classes for the most part, but really just about anything school/college related.
  • PeopleSoft is very customizable to satisfy one's individual needs
  • Can easily be connected to many different PeopleSoft applications
  • Great permission and access controls, flexible to many different use cases
  • Upgrades are very time consuming, and risky
  • Not mobile compatible, or a supported app for Android or iOS--only browser, which does not render very well.
  • Quite expensive and implementation is challenging.
I cannot think of any instance where PeopleSoft HCM would not be the right product, as PeopleSoft HCM is very customizable and flexible to one's needs, and can be controlled in many ways. But PeopleSoft HCM is very well suited for any company or organization that does many basic things such as payroll, finance, school schedules, maintaining records of users, and other details.

This product is suitable for small and medium sized to even large sized companies and is very cost effective. Oracle is heavily invested into the success of this product to keep their market dominance in this space. It has great feedback from my teams and has increased user adoption, plus it has lesser implementation time.

Being used by several HR department across the organization. It addresses HRIS and FIS systems.
  • All employees in the organization can consistently use the same HCM to track employee payroll data
  • We used to have problems in getting technical support from PeopleSoft. We hired a consultant to support us.
All employees in the organization are used to using PeopleSoft HCM after having used it for many years. It is good to use similar products with new versions.

"Oracle PeopleSoft HCM review from the Higher Education business Perspective."

Sanjiv Bhagat
Score 9 out of 10

Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is being implemented organization-wide. The Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) oversees Washington State’s system of 34 public community and technical colleges with a total of about 22,000 employees and nearly 381,000 students each year.



Over the years, our 34 colleges used the Legacy software system to create a variety of practices and processes to take care of business, from student financial aid reports to payroll processing. Each district developed different ways to do the same thing. So implementing Oracle PeopleSoft HCM helps in moving to a single HCM system for all the colleges which help in conducting business easily and reduce the cost immensely in maintaining the employees.



  • Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is one of the best product and has helped implement the complex Business functionalities in the Higher Education business in a very streamlined process.
  • Oracle PeopleSoft HCM helped in moving from 34 different legacy system to one centralized system which helps immensely in maintaining the data and reporting purpose.
  • Oracle PeopleSoft HCM also helps immensely in data analytics and trend analysis which helps immensely in preparing for the resourcing and planning for the peak season in advance and be better prepared to handle the quarterly on annual activities.
  • Oracle should bring back the Breadcrumbs navigation back to PeopleSoft Fluid screens.
  • PeopleSoft Absence Management is also a Global payroll product which causes issues in processing absence for employees in multiple open calendars which is useful when processing payroll but not for Absence processing. So there should be an option when using this product for Absence Processing only. It should allow employees in multiple open calendars to be processed.
  • In higher education, there are some employees where a "leave" belongs to the person and not each job. So it would be helpful to have the functionality of having employees working in multiple jobs accrue leaves from multiple jobs but all stored at the payee level(which is possible today) but they should get an option to select the supervisor to whom the leave request gets assigned based on all the active job records.
Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is the best tool in the market for Higher Education business. It helps immensely in implementing complex business scenarios. It also helps a lot as it is a very flexible product and can be easily configured to implement some out of the box functionality. The newer Fluid functionality is also very user-friendly and easy to adopt.

Oracle PeopleSoft HCM Review: "Non-technical value of PeopleSoft HCM"

Patricia Smith
Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review

PeopleSoft HCM is being used across all Cru ministries in the US. We are using it to track employee data, provide benefits administration, payroll processing, compensation, and recruiting functions.
  • The effective dating feature of PeopleSoft is especially useful in tracking the life cycle of an employee's relationship with the organization, from the time they apply for an opening until the time they decide to retire from the company. Every transaction can be tracked within the system so you have the historical data needed to support any type of reporting that may be required.
  • Security is another thing that PeopleSoft does well. The ability to have row level security in addition to page security is very useful when you need to provide access to the data for various categories of employees. For example, we can set security permissions so that it allows a payroll clerk to see only hourly employees since that is the pay group for whom they're responsible for processing.
  • The Employee Snapshot in Manager Self-Service is an awesome new feature! It allows managers at any level to see specific data not only about their direct reports, but also 2nd and 3rd+ level direct reports as well. using a graphical drill down capability to get the details.
  • I also like that you can use many types of devices to work with PeopleSoft HCM. I can see the same information from my laptop, tablet or phone as needed.
  • The Dotted Line Reports feature of Company Directory will be an added bonus for our organization since many of our teams function as networked teams rather than hierarchical ones.
  • We really need to have more flexibility with the number of leaders for teams. We have many cross-functional teams that have more than one team leader. The ability to identify multiple leaders who can access their team members' data would be extremely helpful with how our staff work in a team environment.
  • Better documentation on the set up steps is needed. The wizards have helped a lot but they are still sometimes hard to use. Vidoes are helpful too, but often don't go to the level of detail necessary to completely set up a new feature or function.
  • Security is often confusing. Whenever new functionality is made available or a PUM update is done, the roles/permission lists to use it is sometimes difficult to find. Having a better way to search for that would be helpful.
  • The UX for Security needs needs to be redesigned. It is difficult to figure out all of the necessary steps to implement a change to a user's role or a permission is made. You often have to go to another place in the system to finalize the change such as running the SJT class update, which leads to that step being missed until you don't see your change in the system hours later!
PeopleSoft HCM is well suited for companies that have a variety of employees and business rules that determine their business processes. Having the ability to add customizations when it's absolutely necessary is a big plus and we've used that from time to time since we are a non-profit organization and have some non-traditional types of employees.
PeopleSoft HCM takes a big burden off of our operational staff since it provides most of the regulatory reporting that we have to do. Knowing that Oracle will update the code with all of the Tax changes on a regular basis is such a huge relief for our Tax department and our programming team.
This also applies to companies who are working in a global environment. While not every country is supported, many of them are so that gives a lot of lift to operational staff in those countries.

We use it across the organization for staff recruiting; core HR including position management; base benefits; time and attendance, and payroll. We went live in 2001 and are currently in release 9.2. We do not currently use Fluid for self-service but hope to start this summer or fall. One Fluid feature we're waiting for is manager approval of reported time, which is rumored to be coming soon.
  • Payroll processing has been stable for the entire time we've used HCM and generally has the flexibility to handle a variety of situations we encounter in paying students, faculty and staff, including many cases of multiple jobs.
  • Self-service using the classic pages has worked well for us and has relieved HR staff from answering many questions individually.
  • The PeopleTools technology framework has allowed us to add new capabilities not supported by the product, including creating a way for managers of student workers to hire them without HR involvement.
  • 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.
While the PS HCM product more or less meets our current needs, Oracle's message in recent years has been cloud, cloud, cloud, leading one to the conclusion that innovation in the PS HCM space will be minimal in the future. Oracle hasn't outlined a clear path to get to their cloud offering from PS HCM.

It is used across the organization, a recent merger to a bigger organization will enhance the user count manifolds. Payroll, Base Benefits, and Human Resources are the primary modules that are in use. We have multiple integrations with Taleo, ADI, and other external applications. Our platform is on Oracle Cloud. This is a new implementation and we are seeing a massive performance gain.
  • Employee Payroll is divided into weekly and monthly, and we have different employees such as contingent worker and temps. All these are properly and tactfully handled by Position Management.
  • We keep our system up to date with latest tax update versions. Our payroll is smooth flawless since the introduction of Payroll for NA.
  • Base benefits allow proper maintenance of employee and dependent health benefits as well as vacation and leave accruals.
  • There is not much self-correcting ability in BAS Benefits, if Ben Admin can be more robust and informative it can help operation smoothen further.
  • COBOLS can be a concern and at times depends on running certain DMS, a clearer instruction can help admins and developers to troubleshoot. At times we need to spend hours in MOS to find the proper documents. If all these docs are combined in an ordered way it could become a one-stop point for troubleshooting.

Oracle PeopleSoft HCM Review: "PeopleSoft - Just Okay.."

Oracle PeopleSoft, and its various business application services, is being used across my organization. Primarily serving as the HR platform we use it for both benefits administration, compensation, and talent acquisition. Other non-HR features being used are for finance management, procurement, invoicing, and legal contract management. PeopleSoft systems are utilized by all managers and all employees in some form. Having a centralized hub of organizational information helps streamline operational efforts in an organization of near 7000 employees. For the most part, the various services communicate well, are easy to train new staff in, and act a platform that our IT programmers can develop on to meet new business requirements.

  • The system allows for a lot of customization. Our talent acquisition platform is almost completely customized to communicate with our financial and compensation teams who aide in the position request and approval process. While the updates certainly take time, we utilize Oracle support to make our systems our own in order to meet business needs.
  • The dashboards are user-friendly both for employees and managers. The self-service features are great tools for allowing employees to set up their payroll and tax preferences, distribute pay stubs, and monitor PTO. For orders or invoice pay requests this is all built in to communicate with our procurement and accounts payable teams. This is a great tool to help effectively get requests through and approved in a hierarchy format.
  • As a large organization, there is a plethora of information stored and made available to the organization. Having the ability to house so much data and have the system run as quickly as it does is certainly impressive. With such emphasis on less paper trail, this has certainly been a cost-effective means to make information available electronically.
  • Although the customization is a strength, this is largely due to some business systems of PeopleSoft being out of date. The HR system for talent management is pretty poorly designed out of the box. There are updates from Oracle that may have the system more comparable to other popular applicant tracking systems, but ours is fairly bare bones. As a result we’ve customized this entirely, and unfortunately deal with a fair amount of internal errors. Luckily from the outside our applicants and candidates do not face issues.
  • Our current PeopleSoft version is not mobile compatible and overall they were behind the ball in implementing mobile friendly systems. As a business and society of always on the go, the inability to effectively utilize all services from a tablet or phone is disappointing. Again, there are rumors of mobile compatibility upgrades, but the upgrade is too pricey for us to take on at this time.
  • The performance management function was very old fashioned. It was difficult to manage and utilize by both team leaders and employees. Our organization recently removed the performance management function and went with an entirely different system. As a rapidly changing and evolving business strategy the check a box and numerical rating on individual performance was not adaptable to a more personalized goal setting performance review process.

Oracle PeopleSoft is probably best suited for employee self-service functions such as benefits enrollment, payroll tax preferences, and other similar HR related features. The financial features and the applicant tracking system are behind other competing business systems. The UI of the system as a whole is not very modern, and not being mobile friendly is a factor here. At the same time, this system is still very comprehensive and best suited for a 1000+ employee organization both due to cost and services. While there have been hiccups over the years of utilizing PeopleSoft our developers and Oracle support have always been available to assist.

We use Oracle PeopleSoft HCM for our HR and for our Finance area. I work in HR in Compensation and I use it on a daily basis to look information up and to report on information. It helps to organize our HR systems and house/manage our data. I have used it in previous companies as well.
  • The reporting tool is quite intuitive. I report every day on various data segments. The data comes down very organized.
  • Oracle interfaces quite well with many of our other systems. We use PeopleFluent and other systems.
  • The input for HR data into PeopleSoft is also very organized. We can enter data one-by-one for employees or do mass uploads. It really helps with the workload.
  • I have heard from my recruiting and talent acquisition groups that the interface to the ATS took a lot of work to integrate effectively.
As mentioned, PeopleSoft specializes and is great for both Human Resources and for Finance reporting. I use it strictly for Human Resources, but have heard from colleagues that the financial side is also quite intuitive. The reporting tools within PeopleSoft make it simple to export lots of data that can then be put into Excel, Access or other programs to further analyze.

Teal Sexton

UC Berkeley uses Oracle PeopleSoft HCM across the whole organization, as the enterprise Human Resources (HR) system of record for all HR and Payroll actions.
  • PeopleSoft HCM captures detailed information about each employee in the organization, based on a variety of fields and effective dates.
  • PeopleSoft HCM is able to capture and track Position information for budgeting and planning purposes, separate from the Employee information.
  • PeopleSoft HCM can handle very detailed and complicated benefit plans.
  • PeopleSoft HCM allows for flexible reporting off of relational tables.
  • The reporting feature is not intuitive for basic users. It requires someone a little more advanced to set up queries and save them for other users.
  • PeopleSoft HCM is very expensive and implementation is complex and challenging.
  • PeopleSoft HCM is not very intuitive to use. It requires training and a well documented and defined business process to ensure the fields are used correctly to get the most out of the system, particularly when it comes to reporting.
It is well suited to a very large enterprise with a lot of Employee actions, turnover, benefit packages and other details to track.
It is not appropriate for a small or even medium-sized business with straightforward benefits and only a few job titles or actions to track.

For example, a University with hundreds of jobs and actions like Sabbaticals, paid leaves, administrative leaves, probation, etc. requires a system as robust and complex as PeopleSoft HCM. This makes it worth the expense.

HCM is our HR system of record for the whole organization; used for all basic HR functions such as benefits, hires, terminations, connections with Payroll. It is used to address all HR/Personnel issues, problems.
  • It stores all basic biodemo data for all persons in our HCM, CS, and Financials systems
  • Effective dating logic is fairly robust, yet easy to understand
  • Table structure is relatively straightforward
  • Our users have expressed concerns about talent acquisition functionality, ended up going with another vendor
Absence management is fairly simple to understand; it provided an easy way for employees to see their balances, and to request time off.

It is being used for HR purposes across the entire organization -- managing personnel data, salaries, positions, etc. Specifically, my department uses it because I am delegated to adding or closing grant chartfields that originate from our PeopleSoft Finance database, to make sure personnel on grants are paid from the correct chartfields. I also sometimes use it to query data related to graduate assistants who are hired, and the position titles of faculty who teach graduate-level courses.
  • The navigation for looking up personnel data is intuitive.
  • Closing combination codes is a very easy process.
  • Query reporting tools are very powerful -- query manager, connected query, and BI Publisher.
  • I don't know if this an institution issue or not, but the process of adding new combination codes is cumbersome at times. We do it through an Excel spreadsheet, and if we make a mistake/typo, it's a real pain to delete or inactivate it and insert a new row.
My exposure to the product is more narrow than some other users. Overall, the information from HR publishes and subscribes via basic sync to the Financials database that I use much more often.

My company uses the entire Peoplesoft suite from HCM to Financials. It addresses our HR needs such as job data, performance management, compensation, benefits, financials.
  • Well known and long standing in the industry
  • Making advancements in Cloud (Oracle)
  • Having their modules all connected
  • Easy to integrate
  • Needs to have more focus on the future- especially cloud, and look at competitors like Workday in terms of User Experience (the system isn't as engaging and user-friendly as it could be)
  • Needs better reporting capability
Oracle Peoplesoft HCM is good for larger companies who need an enterprise-wide solution. I think it is a bit too large and vast for smaller companies.

Oracle's PeopleSoft HCM is a well rounded ERP package that has been on the market for a few decades. It is thoroughly tested and supports all the needs of organizations across the US and the globe. PeopleSoft's ability to leverage functionality with ease of use is remarkable. With all the new features that have been rolling out, it can compete with other products in the market.
  • Thoroughly Tested and developed to adhere to industry needs in the US.
  • Great technical support staff that can be contacted to help by filing service requests.
  • Helpful manuals in the form of PeopleBooks with loads of useful content to gain technical and functional knowledge about PeopleSoft.
  • Great way to not only customize a particular solution but also provides a great way to integrate with third-party solutions.
  • Some modules need in-depth functional knowledge to work as configured. This can lead to some issues if set up is not configured properly.
  • Hard to recruit, train and retain technical and functional staff. Employers are always on the lookout for new people interested in PeopleSoft.
  • Customizations made by clients can also cause a hindrance to what Oracle can deliver. This is the major reason why it isn't able to catch up to the level of some of its other competitors.
Great for mid-size to large organizations and public sector employers that need tools for payroll, recruitment, talent management, and workforce management along with all the other core HCM services. It is not, however, a one-stop shop for all needs. Some of the reporting tools and solutions seem inadequate or not up to industry-wide levels.

My organization (of the higher education sector) use PeopleSoft HCM, Campus Solutions, and Finance. PeopleSoft HCM is being used across the entire organization and is it used to manage our people resources and is also used to manage security across the different systems. It is used to support administrative business processes like employee movement, performance appraisal, and Payroll.
  • Flexibility in handling multiple concurrent assignments.
  • ePerformance and Time & Labor are highly configurable
  • We are also using Contract Pay for a group of employees. Once the bugs have been addressed, it is a great solution to our business needs.
  • Limited functionality on Profile management and Career Development
  • There should be better integration between core HR and Time and Labor
  • Alert notifications are not easy to implement.

Well suited for large organizations where business change is managed well, and where there are minimal exceptions to policies and processes.

It is not appropriate for small organizations (less than 300 employees) because the cost of support is high.

PeopleSoft is being used across the entire organization - university setting. It is used to manage student applications, financial aid, employee data, payroll, and nearly every other aspect of people at the university.

It is NOT used as a CRM for tracking prospective students to the university though, Hobson's Radius is used for that. It also is not used for graduate applications; we use Terra Dotta for managing those applications.
  • Handles alarge amount of students, employees, and people
  • The system is not as intuitive for end users. They know their own functional areas after training, but needing to use other parts of the system can be a learning curve.
It works well for large organizations

State of Montana uses PeopleSoft HCM for HR/Payroll/Time and Labor/Benefits Administration and Position Management as an enterprise system. PeopleSoft assists with ensuring compliance with any tax and regulatory changes along with supporting documentation to assist with analysis and testing of our current environment.
  • Documentation has greatly improved over the years.
  • Idea Space allows users to post enhancement requests and allow other entities to vote.
  • Posting regulatory changes/patches or fixes in a timely manner
  • Turn around time with SRs and getting the issue routed to the right technical expertise can be hit or miss at times.
  • Improve integration capability between other Oracle Cloud products such as Fusion and Taleo.
I feel Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is a leader in human resources and payroll, and they are catching up with the talent area.

Oracle PeopleSoft HCM Review: "PeopleSoft Experience"

It is being used in the various departments of our college. We use Oracle PeopleSoft and other Oracle products as part of our ERP system. It brings the campus under one system platform and we develop and utilize many of the tools that PeopleSoft has to offer.
  • Good development platform
  • Good support Community
  • Myriad of Features
  • Modernize look and feel, I believe this is being done however
  • Allow the ability to develop some things right from the environment instead of through PeopleTools
I came into the organization who already used the system so I don't know of many alternatives. PeopleSoft seems to be suited for larger organizations that can put in the time and effort to develop and maintain the platform. It may be less appropriate for smaller organizations.

PeopleSoft is used for HR, Payroll, and Benefits on our campus. It is also used for financial and student solutions, but that is outside the scope of my work.
  • Job Data works well within PeopleSoft. The payroll function runs smoothly.
  • Batch processing runs smoothly and is easy to develop as we identify needs for tracking new information and asking our divisions to provide information for mass upload.
  • The Time and Absence module is quite clunky and is definitely a place for improvement. Asking people to review, track, and approve time in the current module is hard to do. People have built many shadow systems to deal with this.
  • The upgrade to 9.2 does not seem to have added improvements, and in some ways made the system less functional. The changes were not explained in a way that showed how they were positive.
  • The system does not allow for the concept of a 0% FTE, which I think it more common than they think.
If you have limited variations of employees and benefit plans, I think the system could function well. When you have many employee categories with different rules and plans, it does not function as well.

Oracle PeopleSoft HCM: "PS HCM Review"

We have implemented the PS HCM across our organization of 15,000+ employees and 5,000+ non-employees. This is our single HCM solution. While other applications do interface, we consider our PS HCM instance as our source of truth. The ability to integrate with PS HCM is a driver in shaping other investments that we make going forward.
  • The system is very customizable. We have a solution which has been tailored to meet our specific needs.
  • Our PS solution is quite stable. Our dependency on the vendor is minimal with most 'issues' being handled in-house.
  • The new 9.2 architecture has improved the way we upgrade. Our staff spends less time implementing new features and bug fixes. This allows us to focus on many of the things we've been unable to get to over the last few years.
  • The UI for PS is not end-user friendly. It often comes across as clunky or technical in nature. We have deployed other products that sit atop of our instance to combat this.
  • The future of PS HCM is short. We know we need to gear up for cloud but exactly what that roadmap looks like is not yet clear.
  • Heavily customized PS HCM makes us vulnerable and often unsupported. New features are, at times, lengthy to implement as it causes significant re-work on our end. Visibility and alignment between Oracle Roadmap and our Roadmap is difficult.
The market is all about cloud. I'm not sure anyone should be implementing PS HCM at this point without strongly considering HCM Cloud. In regards to 9.2 over older versions, I would say this upgrade would be of value if a cloud move is 5+ years out. PS HCM is not a system that I hear is often rolled out vanilla meaning a strong development team is likely needed.
