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.

Simple, easy to access and interface is quite user-friendly.
PeopleStrong is good. The only thing is that they have complete SaaS-based solutions. But sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect. This does not exist right now because we have a separate portal for PeopleStrong. They have been logged in via SSO. But if we want to integrate it via API in the current people system, that feature is not available right now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The product is user-friendly."
"It is a great HR product for your business."
"The BambooHR system makes it a lot faster for me to review and follow-up with candidates and it saves me time from having to print or distribute candidates that need to be reviewed with executives."
"This is a scalable solution. We have not experienced any issues."
"I would advise others to implement it as it is a very helpful people management tool."
"Leave management is the most valuable as they all started with leave management and then progressed to performance management. Of course, employee profiles are central to everything. It is also very easy to use. Customers get on board with it very quickly. One of the selling points for BambooHR is that they have a very wide partner network. There are lots of other partners that have integrations with BambooHR. They have an open API. This is one of the things that is driving its growth because lots of people and companies are literally just building integrations of BambooHR to ride the wave. If you have an integration with BambooHR, you get sales. People are more likely to choose your product because they've already chosen BambooHR. That's how it is happening. It is a cloud deployment, so there is only one version. They do the updates every month, and because of this, you are encouraged to send them feedback all the time. You never know. Your feature may be included in the next release."
"The tool's most valuable features are the recruitment module, performance module, and document storage."
"It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature."
"The mobile responsiveness is strong."
"It is priced low."
"The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
"With PeopleStrong, you will be able to do all of those things while working at home."
 

Cons

"The only thing that could have been added is better integration with local payroll systems or a local Canadian payroll module."
"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."
"The color palettes could be changed to make the solution a little more attractive and easier to use."
"It is a great price in terms of quality, but once you start adding payroll and benefits, it starts getting pricy."
"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."
"We recommend to have your own payroll integration as per GCC norms."
"There are some issues with the job tab under my info where you add the salary."
"They are deliberately not the most sophisticated version of anything that they do, but it is like 80/20."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."
"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."
"The global scalability and support could improve."
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
 

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 pricing is reasonable."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
