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.

Reliable and loaded with features, but the UI is outdated
The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically. When I give a new employee, aged 19 and recently graduated, the solution, they are not enthused to use it on a daily basis. Ramco HCM looks outdated and is not as intuitive as it should be. I want to create an easier experience for new generations who come to work with me, with fewer scrolls, clicks, and pages to navigate. The optimization should be available with the minimum number of clicks. This is why I believe UI/UX is the most important element. I would love to see an intuitive web interface for the app, which would enable each user to easily manage and govern their data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scalability of BambooHR is good."
"I can easily go to BambooHR to search for any staff member in the company."
"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."
"BambooHR has streamlined HR for us; we are an SME and growing rapidly, and BambooHR has helped us keep on top of HR, which is essential."
"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 made the HR department more flexible; we can track employee records and trace the reports."
"This is a scalable solution. We have not experienced any issues."
"It's very user-friendly and easy to train someone new. It was easy to implement and get someone onboarded on the system."
"It is a complete HCM suite from hire to retire that streamlines business requirements."
"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"Ramco HCM stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements."
"It is a time-saving solution, saving a lot of time for our clients by eliminating manual errors in salary calculations and removing the need for a help desk team through its chatbot that instantly handles employee queries about payslips, leave balance, and holidays."
"The performance management system is really good."
"Ramco is user-friendly. The UA is excellent and so easy to use that a customer can easily understand the process with zero knowledge of the system. We can easily walk a new user through the user guide. For each ESS MSS, I can log in to the ESS access. and documentation is available."
"Ramco delivers value for a simple straight out-of-the-box solution."
"In general, the solution is very flexible and can be configured in multiple ways."
 

Cons

"It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software."
"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."
"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 like to see BambooHR allow for more than 10 jobs to be posted."
"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."
"BambooHR needs to have more flexibility around performance management."
"The talent management and performance appraisal modules could use some improvement."
"The mobile app for this solution could be improved as it lacks many features."
"I would like to see the flexibility to create reports suitable to the company because the standard reports from Ramco are so conservative."
"They can improve the configuration time because it takes more time than other products to configure the system."
"The one area where I would like to see some improvement would be the mobile app and web page user experience which could be more user friendly."
"Ramco could be a bit faster and offer more use cases. A prime aim is to get analytics and this is lacking in Ramco. This lack of reporting is one of the reasons we are moving away from using Ramco."
"I would say that there is a lot of room for improvement. They should improve their consistency; the product itself sometimes feels inconsistent because it comes with bugs."
"One area for improvement in Ramco HCM is its UI, which could be more intuitive. Another area for improvement in the system is that it can be challenging to make some modular-based changes to it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Their customized solution is pretty expensive but much cheaper than its competitors."
"I am not aware of the price because I was working in the implementation team, but pricing is generally based on the requirement, modules, headcount, and country."
"This solution is priced in the middle compared to other solutions on the market."
