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 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

"This is a scalable solution. We have not experienced any issues."
"The performance goals and personal features of every employee with the dashboard is most valuable."
"It's very user-friendly and easy to train someone new. It was easy to implement and get someone onboarded on the system."
"BambooHR has streamlined our new hire process by setting deadlines for the new hire and the hiring manager, and the new hire gets introduced to the whole staff before they start."
"I like the fact that the annual days are calculated automatically and that if annual leave is taken in the future, those days are put on hold. You know at every point how many days of annual leave are you left with and how many are on hold."
"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 can easily store all the information about an employee in one place and it is easy to change and update it."
"It is a great HR product for your business."
"It provides a centralised repository of information for various HR functions."
"It has a user-friendly interface in managing job requisitions for the end user."
"If you are looking for a product with great support, recruitment functionality, ease-of-use, and reliability, this is a great product."
"I loved that function, as it made it SO much easier to work out the logistics of those days, and allowing candidates to book their own time slot was a lifesaver as it would have been a nightmare trying to do it for them."
"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."
"The talent acquisition and the onboarding components of the system are most valuable."
"This product is user-friendly and great for reporting purposes."
 

Cons

"It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software."
"There are some issues with the job tab under my info where you add the salary."
"There can be stability issues. It is not a good system for more than 100 employees."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We have had scalability issues. It is not ideal for companies operating in multiple regions."
"We cannot add more questions to the assessments if we want to."
"In our experience, PageUp has not been as flexible as we would like or expect as a vendor."
"In the Boolean search functions, I would like to be able to search CVs in regards to the skills using the AND/OR functions as well as keywords."
"There are sometimes problems when loading the system; it can be very slow."
"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."
"The automated removal of historical data would be great if the user could remove it on an ad-hoc basis when required."
"The on-boarding process, with specific relation to the provisioning process, isn’t set up as well as other competitors, such as RedCarpet (SilkRoad)."
"Reporting could be improved. Some changes were made to functionality a year or two ago, and whilst there have certainly been some improvements in some areas (in terms of the dashboard view, for example), we have experienced some difficulty in trying to automate some fairly standard reports to be sent out to our hiring areas regarding current recruitment in their respective areas."
 

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."
"Price-wise, the solution is in the middle compared to other tools offering similar functionalities."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
