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.

Has all-inclusive pricing and good talent acquisition and onboarding components, and is an excellent product for mid-sized to large organizations
They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Signature templates made it much easier for employees to fill out necessary forms, policies and agreements."
"We can easily store all the information about an employee in one place and it is easy to change and update it."
"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."
"BambooHR has streamlined our new hire process by setting deadlines for the new hire and the hiring manager, and the new hire gets introduced to the whole staff before they start."
"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 most valuable feature for us is the time off request; it is very practical and useful."
"The performance goals and personal features of every employee with the dashboard is most valuable."
"It is fantastic, customers love it."
"I have recommended PageUp to a lot of my networks due to the fact that it is one of the best systems on the market in terms of functionality, support, and reporting capability."
"If you are looking for a product with great support, recruitment functionality, ease-of-use, and reliability, this is a great product."
"It is a reliable, simple to use, end-to-end system for employee lifecycle management."
"This product is user-friendly and great for reporting purposes."
"It has a user-friendly interface in managing job requisitions for the end user."
"The talent acquisition and the onboarding components of the system are most valuable."
"Most of features in PageUp are very useful."
"I loved that function, as it made it SO much easier to work out the logistics of those days, and allowing candidates to book their own time slot was a lifesaver as it would have been a nightmare trying to do it for them."
 

Cons

"There can be stability issues. It is not a good system for more than 100 employees."
"The color palettes could be changed to make the solution a little more attractive and easier to use."
"BambooHR needs to have more flexibility around performance management."
"They are deliberately not the most sophisticated version of anything that they do, but it is like 80/20."
"It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software."
"It is a great price in terms of quality, but once you start adding payroll and benefits, it starts getting pricy."
"The system allows to book vacation and sick day at the same time. There should be a warning in case somebody overlooks it."
"The color palettes could be changed to make the solution a little more attractive and easier to use."
"There are sometimes problems when loading the system; it can be very slow."
"The automated removal of historical data would be great if the user could remove it on an ad-hoc basis when required."
"Personally, I believe that they could be more proactive in assuring that, as a client, you are getting the best ROI possible."
"Initially, we experienced issues with the stability of the learning management module as we migrated 50,000+ existing training records from our old system."
"In our experience, PageUp has not been as flexible as we would like or expect as a vendor."
"Reporting could be improved. Some changes were made to functionality a year or two ago, and whilst there have certainly been some improvements in some areas (in terms of the dashboard view, for example), we have experienced some difficulty in trying to automate some fairly standard reports to be sent out to our hiring areas regarding current recruitment in their respective areas."
"In the Boolean search functions, I would like to be able to search CVs in regards to the skills using the AND/OR functions as well as keywords."
"They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Price-wise, the solution is in the middle compared to other tools offering similar functionalities."
"PageUp has a different model from other organizations. As part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup. So, there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with. Here in Australia, the education sector has gravitated very heavily towards PageUp."
