Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""The solution's technical support is super responsive and helpful. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""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.""We use this solution for our end to end HR needs from onboarding and hiring to learning.""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 product is user-friendly.""The performance goals and personal features of every employee with the dashboard is most valuable."

More BambooHR Pros →

"What I like best about Oracle HCM Cloud is that its configuration is okay. I also like it in terms of updates. Product updates that take place from time to time improve Oracle HCM Cloud. What I also found valuable in the product is that since it's on cloud, you can work with it from any place.""It has good navigation, and it is user friendly and secure. Every three months, there is an upgrade, and it has new features.""All the features are good.""We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable.""Offers a good balanced scorecard capability.""The most valuable features in Oracle HCM Cloud are the employee and manager self-services.""Oracle HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly.""We haven't had a single issue with stability, and we've been using it for more than three years."

Cons
"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.""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 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.""BambooHR needs to have more flexibility around performance management.""It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software.""We cannot add more questions to the assessments if we want to.""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."

More BambooHR Cons →

"From the feedback that I get, the functional side of the payroll could be improved.""It could be more user-friendly.""Oracle HCM Cloud could improve by adding AI and more offline capabilities.""The data uploading part and backup could be better. They are a bit complex. Oracle is continuously changing it from one functionality to another. It's a bit unstable right now, and it's basically on the backend data upload part. If I have to upload, for example, data for 100 employees, it's a bit of a challenge for an end-user. It can be difficult if you're not a technical person and an end-user like me. I administer the platform, and if I get a request to upload and I'm not a technical person, then I'm just lost. I have to do some research and then complete the task. But it's evolving, and I hope it's more user-friendly in the future. In the next release, I would like a more stable mobile application. The current version isn't very stable. It takes time to open, and although they have come up with new UI pages, a few open areas need to be addressed. I would also like to see more robust and user-friendly data uploading techniques that would be helpful for end users like us. We don't have a technical background, and we just want to upload the data for our day-to-day operations.""The performance and reaction time can be improved.""In some geographies, you might not find specific localizations. For example, here in Turkey, we can use all Oracle Cloud modules except for payroll. The Oracle payroll module isn't localized for the Turkish system. So, we need to integrate a separate, localized payroll solution with Oracle HCM.""The interface could be more user friendly.""Although the performance management is good, it could be improved as its functionality is quite basic."

    Reviews from Real Users:

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the BambooHR solution.

    An HR Officer at a small financial services firm comments: “In the past, we managed all this [HR] information using Excel. Switching to BambooHR made it easier to access the information. It's easier to use and share reports. I can allow people to do their own reports so they don't need to deal with HR. BambooHR puts everything into one place, so I don't have to comb through several Excel files to collect all the information I need to make a report.”
