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.

Director at Edge HR
Has all-inclusive pricing and good talent acquisition and onboarding components, and is an excellent product for mid-sized to large organizations
They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is fantastic, customers love it."
"We use this solution for our end to end HR needs from onboarding and hiring to learning."
"Bamboo has a vast number of pre-built adapters which can be used as plug and play components."
"It provides great applicant tracking and documentation for our needs."
"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."
"It provides one place to document all employee information; no Excel tables are needed anymore."
"The solution's technical support is super responsive and helpful. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"It is a great HR product for your business."
"This product is user-friendly and great for reporting purposes."
"It is a reliable, simple to use, end-to-end system for employee lifecycle management."
"If you are looking for a product with great support, recruitment functionality, ease-of-use, and reliability, this is a great product."
"PageUp has a different model from other organizations; as part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup, so there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with."
"PageUp has allowed us to integrate all HR systems and manage all processes associated with the employee lifecycle from recruitment through to managing performance, learning and development; also where applicable, departures from the organisation processes."
"I have recommended PageUp to a lot of my networks due to the fact that it is one of the best systems on the market in terms of functionality, support, and reporting capability."
"It has a user-friendly interface in managing job requisitions for the end user."
"It provides a centralised repository of information for various HR functions."
 

Cons

"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."
"We cannot add more questions to the assessments if we want to."
"The performance appraisal system is too static and limited."
"Sometimes, the email alerts act funny and do not show up."
"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."
"BambooHR needs to have more flexibility around performance management."
"We have had scalability issues. It is not ideal for companies operating in multiple regions."
"There are some issues with the job tab under my info where you add the salary."
"The on-boarding process, with specific relation to the provisioning process, isn’t set up as well as other competitors, such as RedCarpet (SilkRoad)."
"They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well."
"Initially, we experienced issues with the stability of the learning management module as we migrated 50,000+ existing training records from our old system."
"The automated removal of historical data would be great if the user could remove it on an ad-hoc basis when required."
"In our experience, PageUp has not been as flexible as we would like or expect as a vendor."
"Personally, I believe that they could be more proactive in assuring that, as a client, you are getting the best ROI possible."
"Maybe there is a need to improve the interface so that we will be able to easily search for modules in regards to the system fix."
"The ability to pull reports was limited for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was definitely cheaper than some of the larger systems."
"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."
"Price-wise, the solution is in the middle compared to other tools offering similar functionalities."
"PageUp has a different model from other organizations. As part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup. So, there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with. Here in Australia, the education sector has gravitated very heavily towards PageUp."
