Featured Reviews

Ram-Mohan - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"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."
"The solution's technical support is super responsive and helpful. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The scalability of BambooHR is good."
"Bamboo has a vast number of pre-built adapters which can be used as plug and play components."
"I can easily go to BambooHR to search for any staff member in the company."
"The performance goals and personal features of every employee with the dashboard is most valuable."
"It made the HR department more flexible; we can track employee records and trace the reports."
"All of the employee information is centralized in one space and can be accessed whenever we want it."
"It makes financial operations easier to perform."
"We can drill down from the sales order line to the invoice and payment at the detailed level."
"It was easy to set up the product."
"It's integrated, and for any ERP solution, that’s really where the value comes in; just one solution to cover a whole bunch of areas and having the integration."
"It's an all-in-one solution for corporate companies."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the ability to go in as a manager or as an individual and do everything in one place, for example, to add, change, or remove a goal."
"The order management is excellent."
"The automation of retail and dealer order management has helped us a lot."
 

Cons

"The performance could be improved. When you save some documents, it takes longer to store them in BambooHR's systems than it used to. Something needs to be upgraded or fixed in the code. Alow, we provide services to other companies, so Bamboo isn't able to help us in many areas because of the way we work."
"Specifically, I work for 2 managers. In my profile, our administrator wasn’t able to add 2 managers."
"They are deliberately not the most sophisticated version of anything that they do, but it is like 80/20."
"Days off to be redeemed do not appear when a user cancels the days when people are off."
"I would like to see some improvements with custom reports and Signature templates."
"Sometimes, the email alerts act funny and do not show up."
"If Bamboo can provide a dashboard with tool health, such as whether the master or instance has the required space, it would be beneficial."
"The system allows to book vacation and sick day at the same time. There should be a warning in case somebody overlooks it."
"On-site cloud support is slow and unresponsive."
"I would rate the level of the technical support as a seven out of 10. There are big delays in the issues of resolution times."
"Since we are hosted, we can’t do rollouts ourselves. We have to schedule them. A lot of our issues have been with our patching, since our hosting partner always seems to break something, which is frustrating."
"The user interface can be improved."
"They should include database functionality."
"I would rate the support for Oracle E-Business Suite a four out of five."
"The on-premises version of this solution can be difficult to expand, compared to its cloud version. The on-premises version is also more limited, versus the cloud version that has a lot of improvements. Maintaining this solution is also too costly."
"The initial setup is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, the solution is in the middle compared to other tools offering similar functionalities."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Oracle's licenses are not straightforward."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."
"Pricing for Oracle E-Business Suite is seven out of ten. You must pay extra for maintenance and technical support, apart from standard license fees."
"I have found the solution overall to be expensive. There are additional fees on top of the standard license."
"Both the current projects and future projects should be defined well. Licensing should be done according to current and near future plans."
"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
"This is a highly-priced application and would not be affordable for small or medium business domains."
