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.
Md. Mazharul Islam - PeerSpot reviewer
Incharge Corporate Accounts & ERP System at General Pharmaceuticals Limited.
Has connected financial data across departments and improved future cash flow planning
I would like to improve the integration with other solutions, as I need everything integrated, like the HR module, purchase module, SCM, production, and engineering. Each and every module should be connected to the finance module, and I think Oracle provides the right solution. Also, SAP, IFS, or Microsoft Dynamics 365 offer some solutions, but I am not as happy with them as I am with Oracle. I believe that Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by transitioning from Java-based scripts in our system to a web-based environment. While Oracle already has JD Edwards available in web-based format, I think it needs to be smoother for optimization and presentation in the future. In comparison, IFS is fully web-based, and all applications are sufficiently good and user-friendly. We are developing and trying to improve to a web-based setup, but it is currently too costly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The time-off tracking tool has made vacation policies simple."
"Honestly, all of the features are valuable to me."
"The performance goals and personal features of every employee with the dashboard is most valuable."
"The most valuable feature for us is the time off request; it is very practical and useful."
"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."
"Customer support has been one of the stand-out aspects of using BambooHR, with answers always within the same day and as helpful and friendly as possible."
"The scalability of BambooHR is good."
"Signature templates made it much easier for employees to fill out necessary forms, policies and agreements."
"Shipment planning using Oracle Transportation Management has helped for: Accurate freight estimation Faster and accurate route planning Tracking shipments to ensure on time delivery Improving the customer experience."
"It was very easy to integrate the product into our existing infrastructure."
"It is very scalable, and it will grow as my company grows."
"It does the job, it has a lot of features, and Oracle is constantly upgrading and adding things to it, so it's a solid product, but there is always room for improvement."
"I would probably say that the biggest benefit for the company is just having all of the information under one umbrella, in one central location."
"The interface is easy to use."
"I like the fact that it encompasses our whole business: everywhere from our manufacturing to our supply chain, our order cache, our whole financials -- just everything."
"Due to the integration, we can just access just one software for AP, GL, PO, AR, and everything just integrates together."
 

Cons

"Yes, there have been scalability issues. If anything, this is what we are facing now."
"Sometimes, the email alerts act funny and do not show up."
"The system allows to book vacation and sick day at the same time. There should be a warning in case somebody overlooks it."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"They are deliberately not the most sophisticated version of anything that they do, but it is like 80/20."
"However, if we compare the accrual balance days from Bamboo versus real days, sometimes we have to reconcile it by manual adjustment."
"Technical support is poor currently. They are focusing more on the cloud rather than customers that are on-premise."
"The implementation took a long time but it was for many reasons. However, Oracle made sure that the solution and systems were up and running."
"The deployment of the Oracle E-Business Suite was simple. I have done many deployments and I find it simple, but for others, it might not be easy."
"The initial setup was a little complex."
"If you get away from the financials core of the product, it is not so good at handling peripherals."
"The user interface is not completely a web interface, it uses a lot of traffic which costs too much for a large number of users scattered throughout the country as they connect from their terminals to do their tasks."
"The solution is very expensive. The price is high for smaller organizations."
"As the pricing for Oracle E-Business Suite is too high and maintaining it is too costly, instead of users patching in a timely manner, they complain about the price, and only do the patching whenever there's an issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It was definitely cheaper than some of the larger systems."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"In order to minimize the implementation and consultancy costs, business lines should have proper definitions. They need to have a proper way of retrieving their data, which should be structured well."
"The pricing of Oracle E-Business Suite is too high."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is heavy subscriptions based and the solution's upgrades, under the technology licensing, are quite costly. Additionally, support is an extra cost. The price of the solution could be reduced."
"Fees for support and licensing should be reduced."
"The licensing cost of Oracle E-Business Suite is quite competitive. It's quite flexible, so it can be adapted to the requirements of my company. For confidentiality purposes, I'm unable to disclose how much Oracle E-Business Suite costs, but I'm rating its cost as eight out of ten."
"This is a highly-priced application and would not be affordable for small or medium business domains."
"Whatever the products you use, you'll be paying a yearly maintenance price or a support price."
"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."
