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.
Kishor Namburu - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlines HR operations and reduces management through valuable self-service features
We used Oracle HCM Cloud for HRMS to access without a perpetual license. We aimed to transition employees to the cloud because Oracle planned to stop support for E Business Suite by twenty twenty-five. We wanted to test and understand how Oracle HCM Cloud would support our business needs It…

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."
"I can easily go to BambooHR to search for any staff member in the company."
"The scalability of BambooHR is good."
"Bamboo has a vast number of pre-built adapters which can be used as plug and play components."
"This is a scalable solution. We have not experienced any issues."
"The performance goals and personal features of every employee with the dashboard is most valuable."
"The product is user-friendly."
"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."
"The solution has new features like AI-embedded solutions that are very useful for helping customers gain a lot of new insights."
"It's highly stable because the system is totally managed by Oracle, Oracle provides 99.9% availability for the system uptime."
"It has good navigation, and it is user friendly and secure. Every three months, there is an upgrade, and it has new features."
"Our overall evaluation of Oracle HCM Cloud as a general ledger tool is mixed. It is a comprehensive and versatile piece of software."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle HCM Cloud is the dashboards, customization, and configuration."
"The application design is beautiful."
"In general, functionality is fine."
"The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback."
 

Cons

"BambooHR needs to have more flexibility around performance management."
"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."
"If Bamboo can provide a dashboard with tool health, such as whether the master or instance has the required space, it would be beneficial."
"It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software."
"If you are dealing with two or more businesses under one company name, it is not possible to transfer employees between companies if they have a separate bamboo set up."
"The UI needs improvement because it needs to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"The only thing that could have been added is better integration with local payroll systems or a local Canadian payroll module."
"I think they should have a larger data center in China, which would significantly increase the access speed from my current workspace."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"The solution has much room for improvement in all the modules."
"Once we are done working on a template, we can't change it unless we create a new one."
"It is a cloud solution, so we cannot do much customization. However, if you have a past license, you can do the customization, but unfortunately, we don't have a past license. If we had that, we would have been 100% happy."
"Exposure to users on the volume or utilization of servers and memory is necessary. Currently, when users hit the threshold, the system experiences a slowdown."
"The UI needs improvement."
"Occasionally there are problems with stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was definitely cheaper than some of the larger systems."
"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."
"Price-wise, the solution is in the middle compared to other tools offering similar functionalities."
"The product could be more affordable."
"The contract for one of them will be extended for three years and for another one for two years. One of them is paying monthly, and another one is paying per quarter. I don't know about the third one. So, it differs."
"The price of Oracle HCM Cloud could improve. However, everyone would like the price of a solution they are using to be less expensive."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"Pricing is largely determined by what is agreed upon."
"Though I cannot comment on the solution's cost, a fixed cost is involved based on my understanding. The cost multiplies based on the number of users."
"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."
"The solution is quite expensive for small and medium-sized companies."
