Senior Software Engineer at Align Technology
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.
Petra Valjak - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of People&Culture at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
Unified HR platform has streamlined global hiring, reduced onboarding work, and improved reviews
There are some minor things that I am looking forward to seeing improved in Deel, such as employment types. For example, I hire a lot of interns and there isn't a specific employment type for intern. There are employment types for direct employee, contractor and similar, but nothing for interns. There is a way to work around it by saying an intern is actually a direct employee and then implementing a custom field, but it would be really good if there was a general field to recognize interns as a part of the workforce. That is something that comes to mind. I think there are still some things that Deel will improve over time and then I will be happy to give it a 10 out of 10. Given the fact that it is still a fairly new HRIS system, there are minor improvements that can be made from that perspective of purely admin work, for example, correcting data in the fields once you import them when changing a salary. If I input one salary incorrectly, I need to import another line. I cannot just correct the previous field, which some of the other HRIS systems allow. This way, on one hand I have full tracking of all the logs so I am not missing if someone corrected something or did any changes, but on the other hand, it also remains visible in the logs. Even if it is a small human error, there is no way to make it very well structured and polished when I am drawing, for example, a historical report of all the salary changes. Such things are minor improvements that I believe would come over time. Once those are implemented, it would be a 10 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is user-friendly."
"Signature templates made it much easier for employees to fill out necessary forms, policies and agreements."
"Honestly, all of the features are valuable to me."
"I would advise others to implement it as it is a very helpful people management tool."
"BambooHR has streamlined HR for us; we are an SME and growing rapidly, and BambooHR has helped us keep on top of HR, which is essential."
"We used to use spreadsheets for everything from tracking contract end dates to time off, and BambooHR has made everyone's lives easier."
"The time-off tracking tool has made vacation policies simple."
"The most valuable feature for us is the time off request; it is very practical and useful."
"Now that we have everything automatically in Deel, we save a lot of time, and we can have someone ready to work with us in about a day."
"Deel has positively impacted my organization by making it easier to find the best talent in the world, no matter where they may be."
"Deel has positively impacted my organization by helping us streamline and automate processes, reducing our workload."
"Deel has taken managing our EOR population off my plate, saving me hours a day."
"Deel has had a positive impact on my organization because it has allowed us to manage our workforce in a transparent manner, which has given us real flexibility and agility to hire."
"Deel has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to access talent that we otherwise would not be able to hire because we don't have entities in all those countries."
"I highly recommend Deel as a tool; the tool itself is great, it is easy to use, and on top of that, you get an excellent team of highly qualified people who will support you throughout the entire process."
"Deel has positively impacted my organization as it is very important for us to work with Deel because we are still too small to open an entity in the United States, making it an amazing option to continue working with our United States employees."
 

Cons

"Specifically, I work for 2 managers. In my profile, our administrator wasn’t able to add 2 managers."
"Yes, there have been scalability issues. If anything, this is what we are facing now."
"The system allows to book vacation and sick day at the same time. There should be a warning in case somebody overlooks it."
"As an international company, there are several administrators in different countries making changes to the system and there is no way of knowing who has made a change, which can be frustrating."
"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."
"The UI needs improvement because it needs to be more user-friendly."
"We have encountered stability issues. The product can be unstable at times."
"They are deliberately not the most sophisticated version of anything that they do, but it is like 80/20."
"There are small things about Deel that could be improved."
"Deel needs to work on their customer service and reach out."
"Deel can be improved as there are still quite a lot of bugs on the system, which I raise with my account manager."
"All of those bugs that come with updates lower the overall experience, and the pricing might be quite expensive for some companies in Europe."
"I find the on-demand payroll feature overly complicated."
"Deel can be improved on costing, such as being more transparent from day one."
"In some countries, the support response time is limited and takes longer to reply to our tickets."
"Deel can be improved by providing notifications of time-off requests."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was definitely cheaper than some of the larger systems."
"We pay a monthly subscription to use the solution. The subscript model is based on how many employees we have active."
"Price-wise, the solution is in the middle compared to other tools offering similar functionalities."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
