Overall Satisfaction with Oracle PeopleSoft HCM

It's being used across the organization to handle our core corporate finance functions (Payables, Receivables, General Ledger, etc.) as well as for the requisition and purchase of IT, facilities, and security equipment at a more broad corporate level.
  • PeopleSoft Product Strategy is very strong. The direction that they are headed and have been headed as been very forward thinking. This shows in their investment 3 years ago in a HTML5 Responsive Design direction for their Fluid User Interface.
  • The new PeopleSoft Selective Adoption model brings a lot of the benefits of a SaaS delivery model (1 common code-line, frequent delivery of new functionality, simplified management) but also gives customers the flexibility they desire in being able to choose when new functionality and maintenance is applied and even how much or little new functionality & maintenance you decide you'd like to take in. This is completely different paradigm to the model of 9.1 and before and was a necessary and crucial step for them to really lower the TCO and maintenance costs of the solution.
  • PeopleSoft's support team is top notch. Much better than other support teams at Oracle where service/support reviews could be mixed at best.
  • Testing of new functionality could be more thorough at times.
  • Improved Employee efficiency.
  • Enables innovation in the product & our ability to extend the functionality without coding customizations.
I've used Oracle E-Business Suite. PeopleSoft is years ahead of EBS in both the User Interface, Mobile, Architecture and the product strategy/direction going forward. They are also ahead in the flexibility of the functionality as well.

I've also used Workday and Workday was ahead of 9.1's user interface and there is benefits to the SaaS model if you can give up flexibility and control. With PeopleSoft 9.2, that changes. The user interface has come a long way and competes directly. With PeopleTools 8.54 (9.2 toolset) you have out of the box native Responsive User Interface that requires no additional hardward or infrastructure for mobile enablement of your workforce using PeopleSoft. Also with the new PeopleSoft Selective Adoption delivery model with release 9.2 going forward, the benefits of frequent releases of new functionality that you get with SaaS can be realized with on-premise PeopleSoft, while still giving customers the control on the timing and amount of changes and new functionality they want to pull in. Compared to Workday, PeopleSoft has always been much more full featured by a fairly large margin. Functionality-wise PeopleSoft is a very mature product offering.
If you're not completely sold on the SaaS model, PeopleSoft should be at the top of your shortlist for selection. If you'd like to do a SaaS architecture, there are plenty of 3rd party vendors that are operating PeopleSoft in this manner.
