We performed a comparison between PeopleSoft and UKG based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Benefits Administration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."In general, this solution is user friendly and also performs well. There are two types of forms. One is a standardized form, which you can define things into. The other, you can customize so more repetition can be done in an even manner. That way, it can be designed for what the public or user actually wants. It's not very tough for any person, or layman to understand exactly what the screen requires one to do."
"It's great for helping users deal with their supply chain."
"Job data is a valuable feature."
"PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it."
"A valuable feature is HCM."
"The solution is easy to scale, expand and make bigger."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"The integration between Human Capital Management (HCM) and PeopleSoft is an important feature."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be business intelligence and Cognos reporting."
"The employee self-service feature is most valuable. This is the restaurant industry, and they have a mobile app that allows employees to go in and manage their data. So, employees can manage direct deposit accounts, emergency contacts, and other things in the app. That's definitely the biggest benefit."
"It enables us to manage the system ourselves. We don't need an additional team to do a lot of maintenance and add the things that we want."
"The fact that I can see the whole HR information in a single point is valuable. There is a unified view of everything, which is good. Previously, we had many different systems for each part of the information. Now, it is all centralized. It is very good."
"UKG allows us to customize our home screen so that we can easily monitor important items on a daily basis."
"The most valuable feature is being able to get time management reports which break out reclassified jobs and departments to separate areas of the company. This allows for better tracking of hours spent in certain jobs and where more hours may be needed."
"It is much easier to use and the customer service is better than our previous solution."
"I like UKG's integration."
"Initial setup can be complex without training or use of consultants."
"PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration."
"There could be more adaptability of the system."
"Areas that need improvement are the add-ons to the fluid pages and additional features in SCM and finance, both functionally and technically."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"I would like to see improvement in the UI."
"There can occasionally be complexity in the initial setup."
"We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."
"Reporting is always a hurdle for any user just because it is so extensive. They provide a lot of out-of-the-box reports, but it is something that you always need to work on because you need more advanced writing of reports."
"I would like to see more functionality in the next release to be able to get hours and dollars per calendar month rather than just by payroll in the Business Intelligence reports."
"The solution could improve by simplifying it even more core reports, such as more sample reports, more generic reports that you can edit and improve on yourself."
"One area where UKG could improve is in its ability to understand its own competency and then work hard to improve it."
"I would like the capability to use UKG as a single platform without the need to alternate between systems."
"The navigation on the screen could be better. Sometimes, I have to dig a little bit deep to find what I need. Everything is there. It just needs to be a little bit smoother."
"Certainly, the time and attendance and the payroll integration need a lot of work. They are disjointed pieces, and they don't work smoothly together. That's the main drawback."
"UKG could be a little more flexible in some areas."
