Featured Reviews

Ram-Mohan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
AanilaNanda - PeerSpot reviewer
Human Resources Intern at a government with 10,001+ employees
Provides unified access to multiple HR functions and reduces navigation effort
I am generally satisfied with the talent management capabilities in Oracle HCM Cloud, but as I mentioned, there are certain pages that really lag sometimes and there are a lot of bugs in talent management. Before, when it had a responsive UI, it was fine, but after it switched to Redwood, I feel there are bugs, and the functionality stated in the documents is not accurate. It takes some time to get that feature, and we need to raise product SR or ask in the community how it works. It's not easily understandable, especially in the talent management area. One potential area of improvement for Oracle HCM Cloud is that it lags. It takes time to reflect the pages, and the loading time now requires us to wait for the page to load. Earlier, we used to click and see the page immediately. However, now we need to wait for it to get loaded, which can be frustrating when working in a fast mode.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is user-friendly."
"Customer support has been one of the stand-out aspects of using BambooHR, with answers always within the same day and as helpful and friendly as possible."
"We used to use spreadsheets for everything from tracking contract end dates to time off, and BambooHR has made everyone's lives easier."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I can easily go to BambooHR to search for any staff member in the company."
"I work in Saudi Arabia, the localization is most valuable as this solution has localized the payroll and they are providing the same service to HR with the core HRMS system without budgets procuring separately."
"The technical support is very good."
"With the product being in the cloud, that means that the users don't have to worry about having servers on premises, they don't have to worry about all the infrastructure, all the upgrades."
"Since it is an integrated solution, it brings speed and efficiency to the business process."
"I am using Oracle HCM Cloud for human resources management and we have found it to be a very good fit."
"The newer Redwood team is more client-focused and this is very valuable."
"The core part and the talent management part are most valuable."
"It is very user-friendly. Most of the UI is very intuitive so you don't need to follow a course to follow it up."
 

Cons

"The performance appraisal system is too static and limited."
"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."
"We have encountered stability issues. The product can be unstable at times."
"We recommend to have your own payroll integration as per GCC norms."
"We have had scalability issues. It is not ideal for companies operating in multiple regions."
"Yes, there have been scalability issues. If anything, this is what we are facing now."
"Product integration, particularly with collaboration tools, is lacking in this solution."
"I rate this solution a three out of ten."
"What's not working that well at the moment is the information flow between the different HR modules. This can be improved by Oracle."
"In the next release, I would like to see a new recruitments module. I would like to see the preboarding so that it sends out integrations through personal email. That would be very useful."
"I would focus on making high volume recruitment more bulky."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"Based on my experience with the support, I would rate the technical support as really not up to the mark."
"The absence management can use some improvement. Due to all the flexible working, the part with work schedules could be a little bit more flexible."
 

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."
"The is a license needed to use the solution. The license can be paid in different increments, such as quarterly."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."
"The product could be more affordable."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is pricey, but price-wise, it's now more competitive than in the past year. Here in Central Europe, people also look at the pricing, but Central Europe falls under the UAE and Abu Dhabi in terms of headquarters, management, and strategy, but those states don't care too much about the pricing. Pricing is a significant factor in choosing a solution. In the past, Oracle HCM Cloud was compared to the SAP solution, the largest competitor and up to thirty percent higher in price. Now, Oracle HCM Cloud has a price increase of five to ten percent, which could be pricier than SAP now, but it's a more competitive product nowadays and comparable to SAP."
"I don't know how much it costs, but I know that everything is included. We don't pay anything extra apart from the licensing fee."
"I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."
"It is definitely super expensive. Oracle is very, very expensive for what they offer."
