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.

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 tool's most valuable features are the recruitment module, performance module, and document storage."
"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 like that it keeps everything easily accessible, from signed documents to outlines of our benefits plans, etc. It is really a one-stop shop."
"We can easily store all the information about an employee in one place and it is easy to change and update it."
"All of the employee information is centralized in one space and can be accessed whenever we want it."
"It provides one place to document all employee information; no Excel tables are needed anymore."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle HCM Cloud is essential for security needs and especially for payroll. The payroll feature is very good."
"The most important function is definitely managing the employee and employer staff system. This module allows the company to see information about its own employees. It's crucial for our organization, along with talent management."
"HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is its ease of use - it's interlinked, so you can drill down into information."
"Since it is an integrated solution, it brings speed and efficiency to the business process."
"Oracle HCM has a great reporting platform, OTPI, with drag-and-drop functionality. I can design my own reports without relying on the technical team. This empowers HR users to create reports based on their needs, which is a huge advantage."
"It has completely changed the way we work, because it automated the majority of our HR processes."
"They give a good package compared to other companies, which was beneficial for our organization."
 

Cons

"The system allows to book vacation and sick day at the same time. There should be a warning in case somebody overlooks it."
"We cannot add more questions to the assessments if we want to."
"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."
"As an international company, there are several administrators in different countries making changes to the system and there is no way of knowing who has made a change, which can be frustrating."
"There are some issues with the job tab under my info where you add the salary."
"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."
"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."
"I would focus on making high volume recruitment more bulky."
"Despite having an SLA contract, the technical support is still terrible."
"I was part of a program I went to where I had a discussion on the latest innovation of the Oracle HCM. I think some of the newer technology innovations, such as gamification and consumerization are areas that could be improved."
"I think I'd like to see Oracle focus on the key components of the system rather than perhaps some of the more fluffy areas that not everyone is going to use."
"I would like to see improvements in the user experience, specifically reducing the number of clicks required to achieve desired outcomes. Additionally, enhancing the look and feel of the front end and allowing for a greater level of configuration would be beneficial. Its pricing should be less."
"The mobile capabilities need to be improved."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"The native mobile application TAP is in great need of improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was definitely cheaper than some of the larger systems."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The price of Oracle HCM Cloud could improve. However, everyone would like the price of a solution they are using to be less expensive."
"I am not normally involved in the product's pricing since it normally involves the packages that a user chooses. Pricing differs based on a case-to-case scenario and client-to-client basis."
"The product could be more affordable."
"According to the Turkish market, the pricing is a little bit expensive."
"The cost of Oracle HCM Cloud is high, it could be reduced. There is an annual subscription and it is user-based."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
