Bamboo vs UKG Ready

• Levels of granularity. Organization has many projects that have many build plans that have many jobs that have many tasks, etc. And branch builds allow source control branches to be built separately.
• Versatility. I can use bamboo to manage my Java, node, or .NET build plans. I can use it to spin up Windows or Linux build agents, or install it on a Mac to build there as well.
• Bamboo integrates with other Atlassian products like Bitbucket, Stash, JIRA, etc. If a company commits to the entire Atlassian stack then work can be tracked through the whole development lifecycle which is really useful.

• Streamlines the process between HR and payroll. Each team can quickly see and share information.
• Our entire hospital team can use the system and it's easy to provide trouble shooting support to our teams.
• Appearance -The system is easy to use and attractive for users.
• The payroll process specifically is very well laid out.
• Communication! UKG has really stepped up on communication and training especially around tax related deadlines.

• Recruitment module is clunky for hiring managers, people who are not administrators.
• Some of the setups don't make sense when administering - for example managing multiple pay rates.
• Some of our integrations do not work properly and it is difficult to get a UKG Ready person to work through it with the 3rd party partner.

• It helped us achieve the Continuous Deployment and Continuous Integration goals for our applications, a huge milestone that saved a lot of time for developers in making the builds and deployments and saved time for QA in running the automated tests.
• Helped with DevOps: we moved the formal approval from the email to the system and allowed the approver to actually push the button for the production deployments.
• Biggest positive impact of using Bamboo is that it improved our response time to customers and increased the frequency of our deliveries to them.

• Positive: We have had better reporting with UKG Ready.
• Negative: We still have no benefit integration with our external benefit administrator after 2 years on the UKG Ready Platform. The first attempt that took 2 years failed and now UKG wants us to pay for a single directional integration. This has cost excessive staff hours for manual intervention.
• Negative: Any payroll adjustment requirements are not easy and the UKG Process is outdated. We recently had a payroll issue and were forced to issue a 2nd payroll but the payroll was delayed because UKG cannot (will not) process the same day. This is unacceptable and since Kronos and Ultimate Software merged, Ultimate software was able to process same day as are many other payroll companies that do not have as much power as UKG Ready does.
• Positive: We are able to use position management for better budgeting. There could be some upgrades to this module, but it does do what was promised.
• Negative: Quarterly and year-end closeouts are 3rd business days, which is not always possible. Very inflexible in regards to this. Even when it is done timely, we get random notices and charges that it was not done even though we can prove it was.
• Positive: It appears customer service is getting better. We struggled at first, but lately, it seems better.
