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 most valuable feature for us is the time off request; it is very practical and useful."
"The tool's most valuable features are the recruitment module, performance module, and document storage."
"We previously used People HR, but it was not user-friendly, very slow, and we had a lot of issues, and BambooHR is a very good program and user-friendly."
"Honestly, all of the features are valuable to me."
"We used to use spreadsheets for everything from tracking contract end dates to time off, and BambooHR has made everyone's lives easier."
"I really value the onboarding and offboarding checklists; this once was a painful paper process that relied on memory or making many calendar reminders for each new starter, and now it’s all automated and automatically assigned to the right people."
"The BambooHR system makes it a lot faster for me to review and follow-up with candidates and it saves me time from having to print or distribute candidates that need to be reviewed with executives."
"BambooHR is accessible to users who aren't good with technology. If you don't have an IT background, you can easily find information about any employee."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is very customizable, with a lot of interfaces and processes that can be programmed in different ways."
"The most valuable feature from our experience with E-Business Suite is definitely its ease of use."
"Online patching, which lets administrators apply patches on the fly and with minimum downtime to make it active."
"Oracle EBS provides the customer with faster financial closing because of its accurate calculations."
"Oracle is the best solution, I would recommend this solution to others."
"The most valuable features are straight-through processing because we need to make sure that we have a good end-to-end process."
"Oracle E-Business Suite's most valuable feature is the information that it provides."
"Technical support from Oracle has always been great; we have never faced any issues when it comes to anything related to technical support from Oracle, and there have been times when they went the extra mile to support us."
 

Cons

"BambooHR needs to have more flexibility around performance management."
"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."
"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 only thing that could have been added is better integration with local payroll systems or a local Canadian payroll module."
"Sometimes, the email alerts act funny and do not show up."
"We recommend to have your own payroll integration as per GCC norms."
"We have had scalability issues. It is not ideal for companies operating in multiple regions."
"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."
"The simplicity of the user experience needs to be improved tremendously."
"We expect Oracle to go into continuous innovation mode and provide simplified integration solutions."
"We don't like Oracle EBS because it is very old. Nowadays, all the systems are on the cloud and web-based. With Oracle EBS, you need a huge setup before installing it. You need a lot of servers. There are a lot of problems and bugs in the system. We have to move from Oracle EBS to another system. In terms of improvements, it can have better training for end users and better support."
"I would like to see more integration with other systems."
"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."
"An area for improvement is related to the flexibility of the processes in Oracle ERP. It is challenging to change processes within the system, which sometimes hampers our ability to quickly adapt to new requirements."
"We seem to be constantly applying patches and updates to fix bugs. Oracle should really improve upon this issue, especially since it happens so frequently."
"Support could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"This is a highly-priced application and would not be affordable for small or medium business domains."
"We pay about $300 a year in order to license the solution."
"Oracle's licenses are not straightforward."
"Licensing and costing of Oracle EBS is very complex. We recommend to use a system integrator during the negotiation process since Oracle sales representatives sometime do not know the actual minimum requirements and may oversell the necessary licenses through ignorance."
"Whatever the products you use, you'll be paying a yearly maintenance price or a support price."
"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"In my opinion, the prices for Oracle ERP are reasonable, especially considering the various discounts that are often available."
"USD $100,000 annually."
