We performed a comparison between BambooHR and PeopleSoft based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, BambooHR came out ahead of PeopleSoft, as our reviewers found PeopleSoft more complex to deploy, overall more expensive, and requiring improvement in its user experience and cloud and mobile accessibility.
"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."
"This is a scalable solution. We have not experienced any issues."
"BambooHR is accessible to users who aren't good with technology. If you don't have an IT background, you can easily find information about any employee."
"I can easily go to BambooHR to search for any staff member in the company."
"It's very user-friendly and easy to train someone new. It was easy to implement and get someone onboarded on the system."
"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 solution's technical support is super responsive and helpful. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The product is user-friendly."
"PeopleSoft has been fairly reliable for us. We haven't had any issues with stability."
"Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market."
"This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful."
"In general, this solution is user friendly and also performs well. There are two types of forms. One is a standardized form, which you can define things into. The other, you can customize so more repetition can be done in an even manner. That way, it can be designed for what the public or user actually wants. It's not very tough for any person, or layman to understand exactly what the screen requires one to do."
"Job data is a valuable feature."
"It is a customizable product. We can customize it based on our needs, which is one of the features that I like about PeopleSoft. As far as financial accounting is concerned, the user interface is very good. You can also configure Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
"A solid and mature product."
"The customizations allow us to come up with a lot of complex labor rules. In the Philippines, there's a lot of different kinds of rules you need to be in compliance with. The solution offers up a lot of flexibility and customization that is perfect for our region's requirements."
"If you are dealing with two or more businesses under one company name, it is not possible to transfer employees between companies if they have a separate bamboo set up."
"We cannot add more questions to the assessments if we want to."
"It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software."
"The color palettes could be changed to make the solution a little more attractive and easier to use."
"BambooHR needs to have more flexibility around performance management."
"The only thing that could have been added is better integration with local payroll systems or a local Canadian payroll module."
"There are some issues with the job tab under my info where you add the salary."
"It would be good to include more options for approvals and workflows. They are deliberately not the most sophisticated version of anything that they do, but it is like 80/20. They hit the vast majority of all the needs, but I have started to run up against the limits of their functionality. It has forced me to start paying attention to the marketplace or sending feedback to BambooHR. Clients are still happy though. Timesheets is a new area in which they're slowly expanding. It is currently very limited, but it meets the needs of standard nine-to-five salary employees who just want to be able to key in their time, have it approved, and then pushed off to payroll. It does not have any of the bells and whistles that an hourly employee or hourly worker might need. That is one area that is currently limited, but they have integrations with some of the best companies that do that."
"Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements."
"Agile system configurations to accommodate business dynamics."
"Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework."
"The Work Center feature in PeopleSoft is a step in the right direction in consolidating someone's role-based interaction with the system. This enhanced functionality streamlines workflows and improves efficiency."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"An area for improvement would be that it's quite difficult to learn how to use this product, and the documentation provided isn't helpful in giving you practical advice."
"PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration."
