IT Manager at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Has many features in need of improvement, including its monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support
The solution has many areas in need of improvement. I cannot cite just one or two. These include management, monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support, by way of example. A checklist should be included and the user interface should be addressed. The solution has a function which allows one to give feedback for every employee and to do so overall. The visibility, GUI and features involved in the feedback function are not up to snuff. Employee service details are an issue.

Pre-built adapters simplify CI/CD processes but monitoring improvements are needed
If Bamboo can provide a dashboard with tool health, such as whether the master or instance has the required space, it would be beneficial. Sometimes, when I trigger a build, it ends with no space on the agent machine where the agents are installed. If Bamboo can create an internal monitoring mechanism and display the tool's health status on the landing page or homepage, it would help end users and DevOps Engineers like me.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"We use the solution for employee and manager services and person management and employee records."
"BambooHR is accessible to users who aren't good with technology. If you don't have an IT background, you can easily find information about any employee."
"It is fantastic, customers love it."
"The performance goals and personal features of every employee with the dashboard is most valuable."
"This is a scalable solution. We have not experienced any issues."
"We previously used People HR, but it was not user-friendly, very slow, and we had a lot of issues, and BambooHR is a very good program and user-friendly."
"Bamboo has a vast number of pre-built adapters which can be used as plug and play components."
"It provides great applicant tracking and documentation for our needs."
"The time-off tracking tool has made vacation policies simple."
 

Cons

"The solution has many areas in need of improvement, including management, monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support."
"The solution has many areas in need of improvement, including management, monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support."
"They are deliberately not the most sophisticated version of anything that they do, but it is like 80/20."
"There are some areas of reporting that could be improved, as well as features and functions of the ATS/recruitment, as this is a newer function in general."
"The color palettes could be changed to make the solution a little more attractive and easier to use."
"BambooHR could be improved by managing leave in a way that transfers remaining days at the end of the annual year to the following year."
"Training: To allocate a new training course, you can only add it to a job title, and not to individuals. This is not very useful to us."
"If you are dealing with two or more businesses under one company name, it is not possible to transfer employees between companies if they have a separate bamboo set up."
"Days off to be redeemed do not appear when a user cancels the days when people are off."
"Yes, there have been scalability issues. If anything, this is what we are facing now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
