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.
AanilaNanda - PeerSpot reviewer
Human Resources Intern at a government with 10,001+ employees
Provides unified access to multiple HR functions and reduces navigation effort
I am generally satisfied with the talent management capabilities in Oracle HCM Cloud, but as I mentioned, there are certain pages that really lag sometimes and there are a lot of bugs in talent management. Before, when it had a responsive UI, it was fine, but after it switched to Redwood, I feel there are bugs, and the functionality stated in the documents is not accurate. It takes some time to get that feature, and we need to raise product SR or ask in the community how it works. It's not easily understandable, especially in the talent management area. One potential area of improvement for Oracle HCM Cloud is that it lags. It takes time to reflect the pages, and the loading time now requires us to wait for the page to load. Earlier, we used to click and see the page immediately. However, now we need to wait for it to get loaded, which can be frustrating when working in a fast mode.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that it keeps everything easily accessible, from signed documents to outlines of our benefits plans, etc. It is really a one-stop shop."
"We use this solution for our end to end HR needs from onboarding and hiring to learning."
"We used to use spreadsheets for everything from tracking contract end dates to time off, and BambooHR has made everyone's lives easier."
"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."
"It is fantastic, customers love it."
"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."
"Honestly, all of the features are valuable to me."
"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."
"For me personally, the most valuable is the account management suite, and they're constantly developing it."
"The most valuable feature is the support for mobile devices."
"It has completely changed the way we work, because it automated the majority of our HR processes."
"Oracle HCM Cloud offers subscription based services to system that includes web based interface, and mobile and ipad application."
"It has simplified the management of users and roles into a single UI and is a great advance for implementers and system administrators alike."
"Job postings and links to job boards are very helpful for talent acquisition."
"The initial setup or implementation process of the solution is fine. The deployment process took place in two days. So, once one has the runbook and everything in place, it is not that difficult."
"It allows us to consolidate all of our HR functions onto one platform."
 

Cons

"BambooHR needs to have more flexibility around performance management."
"I would like to see BambooHR allow for more than 10 jobs to be posted."
"It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software."
"We cannot add more questions to the assessments if we want to."
"Yes, there have been scalability issues. If anything, this is what we are facing now."
"I would like to see some improvements with custom reports and Signature templates."
"We recommend to have your own payroll integration as per GCC norms."
"We have encountered stability issues. The product can be unstable at times."
"The features available in EBS should be available on the cloud as well. When these features are not available on the cloud, it's hard to convince customers to migrate."
"I would like to see more direct access for both human resources and employees without so many screens to navigate."
"We're not receiving the proper support."
"The mobile capabilities need to be improved."
"Our ROI is okay but it's not in line with what we would like to see or have going forward and that's the challenge. If I want to get a good ROI, I have to invest in improvements."
"As the product is cloud based, it is a heavily standardized system. There is little or no option to customize business processes, features, or integrate the few exceptional business processes to work with the existing product."
"I would like to see more flexibility in integration interfaces for different functions."
"There are some modules and suits that are more stable than others. But when it comes to supply chain and financial clients, it's still something written with bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
"We pay a monthly subscription to use the solution. The subscript model is based on how many employees we have active."
"On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."
"There is a subscription to use this solution, and there can be additional fees."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on an annual license."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is pricey, but price-wise, it's now more competitive than in the past year. Here in Central Europe, people also look at the pricing, but Central Europe falls under the UAE and Abu Dhabi in terms of headquarters, management, and strategy, but those states don't care too much about the pricing. Pricing is a significant factor in choosing a solution. In the past, Oracle HCM Cloud was compared to the SAP solution, the largest competitor and up to thirty percent higher in price. Now, Oracle HCM Cloud has a price increase of five to ten percent, which could be pricier than SAP now, but it's a more competitive product nowadays and comparable to SAP."
