We performed a comparison between PeopleSoft and SAP ERP based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."
"It's great for helping users deal with their supply chain."
"It's a mature product."
"This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features."
"It's very fully featured. It has more features and more configurability than SAP."
"The recruiting is most valuable. It saves time in having easy and fast applicants tracking as well as candidates' contact plus pipeline management."
"The valuable feature of SAP ERP is that everything is connected and under one roof, creating a unified system."
"Heavy integration is available with all types of systems, and we use it."
"ERP is very stable."
"The solution has made the most significant impact on our human resources function, specifically in HR operations and HR analytics. One feature of SAP ERP that I found most valuable is its use of codes for accessing specific functions."
"The solution can easily be standardized across processes."
"It is easier to migrate to SAP ERP from a legacy system. We have different products for data services, and it is easier to migrate to SAP ERP as compared to other solutions. Stability is one of the main features of SAP. What makes SAP ERP better than others is that SAP has taken into consideration the business processes of different industries, such as manufacturing. They have done the research, and they know what are the best practices. They have already implemented these best practices in SAP ERP, which are readily available for a client. Clients can also customize it based on their individual needs."
"Well-integrated multilingual technology."
"The most valuable features are the claim management."
"Parsing of CVs is productive but accuracy can be improved."
"In my opinion, it needs more performance, maybe something technical related, because it's very slow for us and even small activities take a while."
"The solution could improve by offering PeopleSoft site licenses. Currently, Oracle is pushing for everyone to transition to the cloud, but clients are discontent with this approach. Offering new PeopleSoft site licenses would be the most beneficial for our clients."
"I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features."
"Scalability is not there in PeopleSoft. Its performance and resilience are also very bad. When you're trying to stretch it, it breaks. It is not resilient. It is also not stable. It is stable as far as data is concerned, but the infrastructure is not stable."
"Initial setup can be complex without training or use of consultants."
"Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved."
"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution is quite expensive. They need to work on the pricing to make it more reasonable."
"License fees are too high."
"Sometimes the cost is not reasonable, such as in the case of budgeting."
"SAP ERP is scalable. We have some five to ten thousand SAP ERP users."
"The problem with SAP is that whenever there is a modification, or if a new field needs to be added, they charge tens of thousands, hundreds, or even two hundred thousand dollars. That is not anything in which I am really interested. For instance, consider a single-use case. I have to enter the root causes for a certain operation or failure. That option does not exist anywhere in SAP, not in manufacturing, not in logistics, not in anything. It is completely missing. The root cause analysis is very common across industries, yet SAP does not offer this option. A line field or a metaparticle, for example, was delayed. If you have the choice to input the warehouse operator or if the person who submitted the document has the opportunity to enter, this has been postponed for N, X, Y, or Z reasons."
"I do not have any notes for improvements."
"The production system must be upgraded."
"It could be more flexible, and the company should be able to adapt the system. Not the other way around. It's very rigid and difficult to change. Reporting could also be better."
