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.

Enables users to share curated content and helps schedule the best time to post content
The solution helped us get a fairly good footprint in our channel. It makes it very easy for many of us who have a lot of contacts in the channel. We can share curated content from the team on our social channels. It makes it easy. I could select what I want to share and choose the best time for it to be posted there, and it will. The product makes it very easy for many people dealing with different parts of our channel to push our content out to people in it. It works pretty well. There may be other capabilities that I do not know about. The solution works fine for my use cases. It's easy. It's not time-consuming. It takes 15 minutes to go through it. The solution uses AI to help schedule the best time for things to post to get the most reads and likes. It is pretty effective.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 time-off tracking tool has made vacation policies simple."
"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."
"The solution's technical support is super responsive and helpful. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The scalability of BambooHR is good."
"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."
"Bamboo has a vast number of pre-built adapters which can be used as plug and play components."
"We can easily store all the information about an employee in one place and it is easy to change and update it."
"The solution helped us get a fairly good footprint in our channel."
 

Cons

"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."
"The only thing that could have been added is better integration with local payroll systems or a local Canadian payroll module."
"We cannot add more questions to the assessments if we want to."
"We had stability issues once or twice. The most significant issue was when there was an outage for a few hours and there was no out-of-hours support available."
"We have encountered stability issues. The product can be unstable at times."
"The UI needs improvement because it needs to be more user-friendly."
"The system allows to book vacation and sick day at the same time. There should be a warning in case somebody overlooks it."
"It is a great price in terms of quality, but once you start adding payroll and benefits, it starts getting pricy."
"I don't have direct access to the performance statistics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
