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

"Signature templates made it much easier for employees to fill out necessary forms, policies and agreements."
"I like the fact that the annual days are calculated automatically and that if annual leave is taken in the future, those days are put on hold. You know at every point how many days of annual leave are you left with and how many are on hold."
"We can easily store all the information about an employee in one place and it is easy to change and update it."
"It provides one place to document all employee information; no Excel tables are needed anymore."
"It made the HR department more flexible; we can track employee records and trace the reports."
"BambooHR has streamlined our new hire process by setting deadlines for the new hire and the hiring manager, and the new hire gets introduced to the whole staff before they start."
"Honestly, all of the features are valuable to me."
"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."
"greytHR has a great payroll system for India."
 

Cons

"Yes, there have been scalability issues. If anything, this is what we are facing now."
"It is a great price in terms of quality, but once you start adding payroll and benefits, it starts getting pricy."
"The UI needs improvement because it needs to be more user-friendly."
"There are some issues with the job tab under my info where you add the salary."
"We have had scalability issues. It is not ideal for companies operating in multiple regions."
"However, if we compare the accrual balance days from Bamboo versus real days, sometimes we have to reconcile it by manual adjustment."
"BambooHR needs to have more flexibility around performance management."
"The system allows to book vacation and sick day at the same time. There should be a warning in case somebody overlooks it."
"The solution's OKR system or performance management tool is not so great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Price-wise, the solution is in the middle compared to other tools offering similar functionalities."
"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."
"We need to pay a yearly license for greytHR, which is much cheaper than SAP SuccessFactors."
