Featured Reviews

Ram-Mohan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Valda Coelho - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhancing HR engagement with effective development but could benefit from AI-driven improvements
The primary feature I appreciate about the solution is the information connection, allowing us to have a full employee life cycle visibility over the platforms. It also enables the creation of interactions between employees, launching communication campaigns that raise engagement. From the HR side, the most valuable features are the Learning Management Systems (LMS) that allow providing a personalized service in terms of development, where each employee can choose and architect their development plans. The second valuable feature is the autonomy each employee has to update their personal data. In terms of talent management, it helps design development processes, backups, and clearly view the criteria for those backups being achieved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I can easily go to BambooHR to search for any staff member in the company."
"The HR metrics that this solution provides has been most useful. We also really like the fact that employees have the ability to be self sufficient and manage their own information."
"This is a scalable solution. We have not experienced any issues."
"The tool's most valuable features are the recruitment module, performance module, and document storage."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The solution's technical support is super responsive and helpful. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Bamboo has a vast number of pre-built adapters which can be used as plug and play components."
"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."
"Performance appraisal might be the most valuable feature for us."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"The support team were friendly and work in a systematic way. When contacting support you are able to add a level of priority to your case which is always respected by their team."
"The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"The tool provides a lot of options."
"The solution has a great payroll engine."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"I would like to be able to export some documents into PDFs a little easier. Right now, only HR can update the training record and as you scale your company, managing the system can be manual and time consuming."
"It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software."
"In the BambooHR performance management annual evaluations we have some limits to the questions. We can only add four extra questions, and they already have three basic questions, this is not easy for us. We would like to have more flexibility with the questions."
"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."
"The color palettes could be changed to make the solution a little more attractive and easier to use."
"If Bamboo can provide a dashboard with tool health, such as whether the master or instance has the required space, it would be beneficial."
"There are some issues with the job tab under my info where you add the salary."
"The UI needs improvement because it needs to be more user-friendly."
"training and performance could be improved."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"In future releases, it would be useful to see reporting lines of all the team members in our business to understand who reports to whom."
"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"We pay a monthly subscription to use the solution. The subscript model is based on how many employees we have active."
"It was definitely cheaper than some of the larger systems."
"Price-wise, the solution is in the middle compared to other tools offering similar functionalities."
"Meta4 requires annual maintenance that needs to be paid for."
"From a cost perspective, I think this is a well-balanced option."
