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.

Has connected financial data across departments and improved future cash flow planning
I would like to improve the integration with other solutions, as I need everything integrated, like the HR module, purchase module, SCM, production, and engineering. Each and every module should be connected to the finance module, and I think Oracle provides the right solution. Also, SAP, IFS, or Microsoft Dynamics 365 offer some solutions, but I am not as happy with them as I am with Oracle. I believe that Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by transitioning from Java-based scripts in our system to a web-based environment. While Oracle already has JD Edwards available in web-based format, I think it needs to be smoother for optimization and presentation in the future. In comparison, IFS is fully web-based, and all applications are sufficiently good and user-friendly. We are developing and trying to improve to a web-based setup, but it is currently too costly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It made the HR department more flexible; we can track employee records and trace the reports."
"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."
"Honestly, all of the features are valuable to me."
"All of the employee information is centralized in one space and can be accessed whenever we want it."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable features are the recruitment module, performance module, and document storage."
"We use this solution for our end to end HR needs from onboarding and hiring to learning."
"Accessing vital information on the dashboard: I can customize summarized reports to be available on the dashboard."
"The extensibility that we've needed over the past several years is the most valuable feature for us."
"An integrated platform with an easy of integration to a third-party system."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle E-Business Suite is the customization."
"It is a very stable solution."
"I would probably say that the biggest benefit for the company is just having all of the information under one umbrella, in one central location."
"It can easily be developed into an application."
"The use of the Oracle E-Business Suite has kept our organization healthy."
 

Cons

"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."
"We have had scalability issues. It is not ideal for companies operating in multiple regions."
"Specifically, I work for 2 managers. In my profile, our administrator wasn’t able to add 2 managers."
"It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software."
"However, if we compare the accrual balance days from Bamboo versus real days, sometimes we have to reconcile it by manual adjustment."
"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."
"There are some issues with the job tab under my info where you add the salary."
"The only thing that could have been added is better integration with local payroll systems or a local Canadian payroll module."
"The user interface is not completely a web interface, it uses a lot of traffic which costs too much for a large number of users scattered throughout the country as they connect from their terminals to do their tasks."
"It doesn't make any sense to communicate with Oracle about what changes should be made to the system."
"The system alerts could be improved."
"They need to make the interface a little more slick. It's form-based, so loading of the forms is pretty annoying."
"The users feel that the product is not user-friendly."
"Performance issues and handling of financial data could be improved."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is a bit outdated because it's been developed more than ten years ago, and this is an area for improvement. My team is still getting used to the solution, so there could still be some features that have not been enabled or features my team isn't aware of yet. There have been issues with the Treasury module of Oracle E-Business Suite, so this is another area for improvement. My company hasn't decided yet on whether to implement the Treasury module or just go with another solution. Another room for improvement in Oracle E-Business Suite is the design, as it needs to be optimized based on usage patterns. What I'd like added in the next release of Oracle E-Business Suite is the time attribute. The solution still has dashboards being rolled out, so the time attribute could already be there or is still in the process of implementation. I also didn't find much use for the Projects module based on my company's requirements. The integration of Oracle E-Business Suite with the rest of the Oracle tools isn't very tight as well, but it could be because of customizations here in India, where the integrations work seamlessly everywhere, except in India. You'll find gaps because of customizations in India which are very, very irritating. For example, if a procurement is moving in the system then all the data has to move from one module to the other, but in the Oracle E-Business Suite Procurement module, you'll notice breaks or gaps that require you to manually transfer that data, so I'd like this improved in the next release of the solution."
"The UI interface is not great."
 

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."
"It's quite expensive, even though they gave us a discount."
"Licensing and costing of Oracle EBS is very complex. We recommend to use a system integrator during the negotiation process since Oracle sales representatives sometime do not know the actual minimum requirements and may oversell the necessary licenses through ignorance."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."
"Oracle has different licensing models available. For example, concurrent user license metric and power unit licensing metric. It is different from product to product, but for the application itself, the license is by the number of users."
"USD $100,000 annually."
"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"We have an annual license to use the Oracle E-Business Suite and we have an enterprise license."
"Find a best Oracle partner and get a better discount."
