We performed a comparison between BambooHR and PeopleSoft based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, BambooHR came out ahead of PeopleSoft, as our reviewers found PeopleSoft more complex to deploy, overall more expensive, and requiring improvement in its user experience and cloud and mobile accessibility.
"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 HR metrics that this solution provides has been most useful. We also really like the fact that employees have the ability to be self sufficient and manage their own information."
"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 tool's most valuable features are the recruitment module, performance module, and document storage."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The performance goals and personal features of every employee with the dashboard is most valuable."
"Leave management is the most valuable as they all started with leave management and then progressed to performance management. Of course, employee profiles are central to everything. It is also very easy to use. Customers get on board with it very quickly. One of the selling points for BambooHR is that they have a very wide partner network. There are lots of other partners that have integrations with BambooHR. They have an open API. This is one of the things that is driving its growth because lots of people and companies are literally just building integrations of BambooHR to ride the wave. If you have an integration with BambooHR, you get sales. People are more likely to choose your product because they've already chosen BambooHR. That's how it is happening. It is a cloud deployment, so there is only one version. They do the updates every month, and because of this, you are encouraged to send them feedback all the time. You never know. Your feature may be included in the next release."
"This is a scalable solution. We have not experienced any issues."
"It is a customizable product. We can customize it based on our needs, which is one of the features that I like about PeopleSoft. As far as financial accounting is concerned, the user interface is very good. You can also configure Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"I would recommend the solution. It's very stable and scalable, which makes it a reliable solution."
"The PeopleSoft interface is very good."
"Flexibility in configuration."
"PeopleSoft is an amazing solution. Its users can have total control of the system, including PeopleCode, Application Engine and Component Interface, along with many other tools delivered by PeopleSoft."
"The solution is easy to scale, expand and make bigger."
"The most valuable feature is IDE."
"I would like to be able to export some documents into PDFs a little easier. Right now, only HR can update the training record and as you scale your company, managing the system can be manual and time consuming."
"There are some issues with the job tab under my info where you add the salary."
"The UI needs improvement because it needs to be more user-friendly."
"BambooHR needs to have more flexibility around performance management."
"It would be good to include more options for approvals and workflows. They are deliberately not the most sophisticated version of anything that they do, but it is like 80/20. They hit the vast majority of all the needs, but I have started to run up against the limits of their functionality. It has forced me to start paying attention to the marketplace or sending feedback to BambooHR. Clients are still happy though. Timesheets is a new area in which they're slowly expanding. It is currently very limited, but it meets the needs of standard nine-to-five salary employees who just want to be able to key in their time, have it approved, and then pushed off to payroll. It does not have any of the bells and whistles that an hourly employee or hourly worker might need. That is one area that is currently limited, but they have integrations with some of the best companies that do that."
"BambooHR could be improved by managing leave in a way that transfers remaining days at the end of the annual year to the following year."
"We cannot add more questions to the assessments if we want to."
"In the BambooHR performance management annual evaluations we have some limits to the questions. We can only add four extra questions, and they already have three basic questions, this is not easy for us. We would like to have more flexibility with the questions."
"Parsing of CVs is productive but accuracy can be improved."
"Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements."
"The solution could improve by offering PeopleSoft site licenses. Currently, Oracle is pushing for everyone to transition to the cloud, but clients are discontent with this approach. Offering new PeopleSoft site licenses would be the most beneficial for our clients."
"Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it."
"I would like to see a better UI."
"I would like to see it become available again in Mexico."
"The Work Center feature in PeopleSoft is a step in the right direction in consolidating someone's role-based interaction with the system. This enhanced functionality streamlines workflows and improves efficiency."
"PeopleSoft lacks integration capabilities."
