Oracle's PeopleSoft HCM is a complete, customizable suite including Global Core Human Capital Management, Workforce Management, Workforce Service Delivery, and Talent Management. PeopleSoft can be integrated to run on the Oracle Cloud.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/XB/O0/65W7N0TG7WXL.pngOracleNon-technical value of PeopleSoft HCM2017-10-19T17:45:12.877ZPeopleSoft 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!,9,We really don't quantify the ROI aspect...we've been using PeopleSoft HCM since 1995 so it's now just a part of our operational culture. We are planning to implement more analytics going forward, but we haven't focused on that aspect until lately.
One positive impact is that we're able to add new companies/subsidiaries into our HCM business processes within a short amount of time (usually 6 months or less) to enable them to benefit from the functionality of using PeopleSoft HCM for their employees.,Yes,NetSuite and Workday Human Capital Management,SQL Developer, JIRA Software, HipChat, NetSuite, Resource Guru,8200,9,Job transactions - Hire/rehire, transfers, pay changes, terminations

Product Features
Product Usability,I would likely look at a cloud-hosted implementation rather than on-premise if making the decision today.,Don't know,No,Change management was a big part of the implementation and was well-handled,Handling the non-traditional staff model (like self-employed people) that required payroll amounts to be adjusted during the payroll process
A custom payroll to GL interface was required due to the non-traditional staff model,6,Yes,8,Yes,None come to mind right now.,Life Events are very easy to use for address, phone, dependent, contact updates
Recruiting - applications are very easy to follow for applicants looking for positions with our company
Employee Self Service has been very useful in relieving the administrative burden for employee data changes.,Recruiting - setting up job openings is a cumbersome process
Integration Broker - it's complicated to set up messaging (XML, REST, etc) services
The technology is a little difficult to work with in Application Designer -- the functionality needs to be be updated so the there's more sharing across projects and it needs to have more drag/drop capabilities.,Yes,9Patricia SmithPeopleSoft Payroll: The Only Way to Go2014-01-18T22:17:39.436ZI use PeopleSoft Enterprise applications to process payroll for 3000+ employees on a weekly basis, run ad-hoc reports, and used it as a tool to validate totals during audits. PeopleSoft is a very easy-to-use application that makes processing payroll headache-free. Out of the box, it just works. And customizing the application for our company's needs is easy once you familiarize yourself with all of the available features. Simply select what you need, knowing so much more is available if your needs change. While some training was involved when we upgraded a few times, the upgrades essentially kept the features that we loved and provided new ones that only gave us more freedom to perform our work better.,PeopleTools for writing reports is extremely simple to use and so helpful in a crunch!
Easily Customizable!
Simple to Use!,PeopleSoft is a powerful product, but out-of-the-box it's not eye candy. There are individuals in my organization that would like it to be more user-friendly, but that is not a real weakness of this application, just that users needs to familiarize themselves with what the application is capable of.,8,Take the time to learn the product. Running the right reports and having the right tools at your fingertips all the time leads to better customer service and increased productivity. For example, at one point our company outsourced mortgage verification of employments to a third-party organization, but I was able to create my own report through People Tools that we could run by employee ID that essentially did the same thing as the third-party site, allowing us to save money when we dropped their services and performed this task ourselves.,,UltiPro, Kronos Workforce Central, Box,10Juan OseguedaUser Friendly2014-01-27T22:43:24.351ZThis is used to handle the day to day operations of the university. This program is used campus wide. It helps track documents and contribute toward us going green.,Oracle is not a difficult program to use. The menus make it fairly easy to navigate.
Through the trial and error and a lack of training you learn how to use the save function. It is not the same depending on the item that you are processing.
The best thing about oracle versus banner was the time it took to learn it. It is a user friendly program.
I like the hr component. It so easy to retrieve personal infomraitn or make adjustments as needed.,More detailed instructions on the use of the save button would be helpful..,10,We definitely have better efficiency due to the way the program is set up. I am able to pay contractors much faster with the 9.1 version.,,9Mary SiasWhat Oracle Did For Our Organization2014-01-08T22:48:41.203ZEnabled us to install a first class HR system that can be accessed by our staff from all locations.
Workforce Management enable us to forecast, deploy, track and manage our labor, cut costs and increase productivity.
Financials enabled us to streamline our reporting and analysis giving a comprehensive view of our operations.,Compensation was not robust enough to manage our complex compensation processes.,7,Increased efficiency and reduced back office costs with shared services.
Corporate governance in compliance and risk management became secure for our work force.
Integrated system allowed us to manage our global finance organization and comply with accounting standars and policies.,9Cari PulsePeopleSoft is a great product for administrative support professionals!2014-12-20T21:30:49.896ZOracle PeopleSoft is being used across the entire organization. In my office support role, I was using PeopleSoft for updating student records and tracking/monitoring student progress in various graduate programs.,PeopleSoft is very user-friendly. The way that information is configured makes it easy to navigate and simple to use.
The 'Favorites' tab is great! It provides easy-access to tools that are used regularly.
There are many different products and features available for Oracle PeopleSoft. The program is used across the entire organization, and it's great having everything on a single platform.,The program can be quite slow if multiple users are trying to access information at the same time.
Although I was not directly involved in the purchase of the software, I learned that it was costly and time consuming to implement.
The user-interface should be updated to make the program more visually appealing. Currently, the program looks a little outdated.,8,PeopleSoft has positively impacted employee efficiency. The program is very consistent and helped my department almost double the speed at which they accurately update student records.,AccountEdge,9Danielle KircherBeginner Review of Oracle Peoplesoft2014-12-12T15:53:45.053ZOracle PeopleSoft is being used across the whole organization.,Organizational Charts
Reporting/Analytics,User Experience on a more intermediate level - not easy to navigate without fumbling around.,6,Performance Management across a large organization made more seamless.,Workday,5Verified UserPeopleSoft makes managing resources easy, not hard2014-07-11T21:28:34.745ZThe Oracle Peoplesoft HR module is being used by three locations out of nine in our company - the corporate office and two remote manufacturing and administrative sites. We use the system primarily to pay employees, hire employees and administer the workforce. Data from the sites using other systems is uploaded into the Peoplesoft system even though they may use another system.,System is designed and tested for large and small organizations alike
Strong reporting capability
Ability for integration with other functional areas like finance,This feature may be available on other modules, but with the version we use there is not the ability to keep and take notes during the recruiting process. Other versions at previous companies have allowed for this feature.
This may be a function of how our company utilizes the system, but we enjoy the ability to run and save different customized reports. However, the report library can become very full with customized reports and there does not seem to be an easy way to manage all the reports.
The interface can be difficult to follow especially for newer users. For instance, if I am trying to look up an employee's salary, should I go to the "Workforce Administration" tab or the "Compensation" tab. The basic information can be found on the employee's summary page but navigating all of the menu options can be confusing.,7,Positive impact to a degree, anyway, on using the recruiting module in terms of time to fill rate. The automation has required less handling of paperwork or updating Excel files like we did prior to implementation.
Online benefits enrollment feature has significantly increased our productivity especially during open enrollment.,SAP ERP,6Verified UserOracle review from the bottom employee in the organization2014-01-07T16:01:07.464ZUser friendly and easy to use.
Easy to maintain data.
Strong reporting functions,I wish it could be processed faster.,The reporting function made my data analysis easier,8,8Verified UserOrganization moves to "one system" - chooses Oracle PeopleSoft2013-12-24T14:11:58.619ZPeopleSoft is a great "one stop shop" human capital management system.
PeopleSoft makes it easy for employees to access information about their payroll and benefits.
PeopleSoft is a party of why our Employee Giving Program is so efficient and successful.,The interface could be improved - it could look more modern.
The menu could be more "user-friendly" - it seems targeted at administrators, not your average users and especially not users who aren't typically at a computer screen.,PeopleSoft has allowed our organization to move from using several systems, to one human capital management software. This is unifying for the organization and increases efficency.,10,8Verified User
