    Chose Ceipal ATS
    Ceipal ATS is the worst possible choice amongst all of the ATS ive used. There is a reason it is dirt cheap.

    BambooHR is well-suited for small organizations with less than 100 employees (like most churches, local businesses, etc.). An HR Director can easily customize the platform to suit both the organization's and the employees' needs. On the other hand, BambooHR seems less adept at serving large organizations (those with more than 100 employees).

    Moving to Ceipal ATS was the worst decision we made at the organization I work for. The data loss, lies sold to us from their team, the inability to send emails and text messages successfully, the reporting limitations, the career site limitations across industry and categories… all of it… is quite possibly the biggest Mistake we have made. This horrible platform quite possibly will sink the organization i work for.

    Pros
    BambooHR
    • Onboarding/Offboarding. This is where they really shine. The organization of the entire process—assigning tasks, responsibilities, deadlines—is all on a single platform. The time savings are incredible. I personally value the opportunity it gives new employees to connect with the company before their first day. Seeing them arrive with a large percentage of their tasks already completed is a huge plus.
    • Their APIs. For us, they're incredibly important. And to this day, we haven't had a single failure. We use access levels configured in detail for creating API keys, and we haven't had any data breaches or incidents. For a technology company like ours, this is invaluable.
    • Employee experience. When almost no employees call us to ask how to do something in BambooHR, it's a sign that the system's usability is excellent. The interface is intuitive, and everything is just a few clicks away. We value this highly because it saves time for us as platform administrators and for employees who don't have to spend time deciphering an HR platform.
    • Onboarding / Offboarding. Aquí realmente se lucen. La organización de todo el proceso, designando tareas, responsables, fechas de cumplimiento, todo en una sola plataforma. El ahorro de tiempo es brutal. Personalmente valoro muchísimo la posibilidad que les da a los nuevos empleados de entrar en contacto antes del día de inicio de su contrato. Verlos llegar a la empresa con un gran porcentaje de las tareas ya avanzadas, es un plus.
    • Sus APIs. Para nosotros, es importantísimo. Y a día de hoy, no hemos tenido ningún fallo. Utilizamos niveles de acceso configurados al detalle para la creación de API keys, y no hemos tenido fuga de datos ni incidentes. Para una empresa de Tecnología como la nuestra, esto es oro.
    • Experiencia del empleado. Cuando casi ningún empleado nos llama para preguntarnos cómo se hace algo en BambooHR, es señal de que la usabilidad del sistema está correcta. LA interfaz es intuitiva y todo se encuentra a la vuelta de tres clicks. Esto lo valoramos mucho, porque nos ahorra tiempo a nosotros como administradores de la plataforma, y a los empleados que no tienen que ocupar tiempo en descifrar una plataforma de RR.HH.

    • Ceipal ATS maintains our company database so well that we can fetch the required resumes at our will.
    • Switching between tabs and submission format is so well-organized.
    • Adding multiple job portals at the same place is so appreciable that we can search different resumes with different technologies with ease.
    • Posting urgent requirements through Ceipal ATS posting is quite easy.
    • The requirement blasting feature is so good to use to connect with multiple sales and employers at the same time.

    Cons
    BambooHR
    • The UI could be improved; there are some spinners/loaders that just look off.
    • It should be easier to find the performance-related views. For us, those are very important; however, navigating to them requires going through at least 3 pages.
    • It would be nice to have a dark mode, for people working all day behind a screen it helps not having a bright background color.

    • Most of the functionality is missing. Ceipal ATS will be great to use once we're able to utilizing all the different options to manage our programs.
    • I think it should be made easier to grant access to a client. There seems to always be issues there.

    There's nothing wrong with this platform. I would recommend it to any business starting with more than 10 employees. I will continue to use the program for as long as I need to, hoping they continue being tremendous and finding other ways to incorporate more technology.

    We have been using this ATS for the past few years and have never had any major problems. It is being used for candidate sourcing as well as keeping track of all our candidate's databases. In the market, there are very few ATS software available, and I think Ceipal is the best among all.

    Because I can tell it's super good and intuitive platform, but it has some improvements to do that would facilitate and speed the HR managers tasks - like I would like to be able to upload the same document for all the employees at once, for example. They have to find a way to control processes simultaneously

    One of the easiest interfaces among the other ATS is Ceipal ATS, which reduces manual effort due to the AI automation integration, which increases the productivity of high-volume tasks. The overall Ceipal ATS interface looks presentable or is easy to approach due to its automation tools.

    Yes, there is a huge team in the back of the online platform or it looks like it because I have never been left without an answer when I have a question or waiting from a response on my chat .... There must be a huge team, this is so great and I always seem to have someone that is very knowledgeable too. So many times in the past I had to leave with customer service that would connect you with someone else because of the expertise, here everyone seems to be some kind of an expert in the HR function.

    In my tenure of using this software, there were multiple times when I faced a technical outage, and it was not too long. We had it resolved as we connected with the support, and they informed us immediately that the developer team is working on it and will get the issue resolved.

    I love BambooHR. Reports are easy to run and download and it usually covers any types of requests I get from the management team. You get excel or .csv downloads/reports and it is fast and simple, not too crowded so it is easy to read through. We don't integrate the tool yet but again, soon we will. we just did not had the time to utilize it yet but that's the plan.

    I never faced any problem loading the Ceipal login page and when I had a problem it was just my browser. I rarely use any other browser other than Chrome. Even after integrating with other job portals, Ceipal never gets hung or there is any error loading page I have received.

    BambooHR
    We implemented bambooHR in Fall, 2023 then implemented Payroll 1/1/24. A vital piece of information was not known or missed in that we are exempt from State Unemployment Tax and have a Reimbursement Set-up, so bambooHR did not send Payroll Reports to the State. Those reports need to be sent regardless if we are exempt or not.

    Bamboo HR's user interface is better than the alternative products listed above. It is easier to scroll through tabs and navigate different sections and reports. You do not need to train your team members to use Bamboo HR. This saves time on training. The user interface of other products listed above is not as simple and clean as Bamboo HR.

    Since my organization has dropped with employees, I always find ways to reduce costs. I thought there would be a cheaper option, but I was glad that my package included a lot for the price, and downgrading would cost more. The rep could have let me downgraded and taken me to a higher package. I am thankful that didn't happen.

    Pricing model was very flexible with Ciepal and when we agreed we already knew that we are going to renew it for more than 5 years now. It was flexible and we had to make sure that there is no breach in between. we are using the services for more than 2 years now so I think I made the right decision.

    I have given an 8 rating as the Ceipal is being used in our department for mostly recruitment purposes so we don't have many other departments. We use Ceipal for recruitment and for sales purposes. Currently, it's being used for the bother dept and working absolutely fine so I think an 8 rating is reasonable.

    Ceipal Professional Service is also an elite service provided by Ceipal for its premium vendors. It's just like an upgrade system one can avail of if they want to pay more and have more features added to their current system. We did not use this service so I don't have much to say about this, but maybe in future we will require it.

    Return on Investment
    BambooHR
    • We used to pay an outside firm to handle these things. We paid about the same per month as we do for BambooHR® and they would answer HR questions when we needed them to.
    • Onboarding goes a lot smoother and it's easy to collect esignatures.
    • Time off has become much more visible across the organization and managers can see their own team's requests and the requests of others to better plan our schedule.

    • Finding candidates is very easy with Ceipal; thus, recruiters are able to close more job roles, in turn increasing the company's revenue.
    • Sometimes, due to poor customer service, the work of the delivery team gets affected.
    • And its job integration part helps us to decrease the turn around time for serving job roles and saving on the heavy subscription packages.
