    Chose BambooHR
    Bamboo's simplicity in utilization beats all the above. The functionality isn't as robust as some, but it gets the job done well and has no huge misses, especially as I believe the simplicity outweighs the lack of functionality in small areas!

    BambooHR was already in place when I started. BambooHR has much better intuitive navigation than any of the other systems but not as much customizability as something like Workday.

    For small business, like myself, BambooHR is enough. When working for more giant corporations, Workday was amazing. However, I cannot compare their customer service. In terms of user experience, BambooHR is definitely better than the others listed.

    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).

    Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is great for onboarding new hires. The process, including some newer direct entry features, has been streamlined and made more intuitive. However, there is a steep learning curve for those who are completely unfamiliar with enterprise systems as a whole. In my experience, Oracle PeopleSoft HCM's updates have historically failed to improve the intuitiveness of navigation and features even through a move to a SaaS configuration in the cloud. This makes it hard to train new HR staff because there may be five different ways to accomplish the same thing and none of them are intuitive enough to just "figure out". This has been a bone of contention for me for all Oracle products for my entire 20+ year career, and it has never been fully addressed.

    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.

    • Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is one of the best product and has helped implement the complex Business functionalities in the Higher Education business in a very streamlined process.
    • Oracle PeopleSoft HCM helped in moving from 34 different legacy system to one centralized system which helps immensely in maintaining the data and reporting purpose.
    • Oracle PeopleSoft HCM also helps immensely in data analytics and trend analysis which helps immensely in preparing for the resourcing and planning for the peak season in advance and be better prepared to handle the quarterly on annual activities.

    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.

    • We have issues with students using Time & Labor for multiple jobs, where time is incorrectly calculated, including negative balances where none exist.
    • The application is complex and some areas, especially Time & Labor, are very difficult to troubleshoot. The overall level of complexity has increased over the years.
    • We also use Campus Solutions and had to split apart HCM and CS, significantly increasing our maintenance overhead and creating inter-system issues that aren't always resolvable.
    • Campus Solutions has developed a solution for managing preferred names and gender identity that is missing/ incompatible with the HCM product.

    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.

    This is highly dependent on the server setup you implement. You need to make sure you've included enough hardware to support your users. Not enough power will quickly rear its ugly head. If you've got the correct setup, the product will operate quickly and provide a good user experience. Oracle is slowed down by certain realtime interfaces to other systems, but this can be addressed by your technical team relatively easily.

    Overall support has been positive and Oracle has gladly sent out representatives to meet with our teams in person. Despite sometimes sow and inadequate fixes, their willingness to try and meet face to face helps give them a better name in our organization. Sometimes their people do not understand unique needs of the industry, and it can be a challenge to explain that one size does not fit all. Finding the appropriate IT support for our unique requests has been hit and miss.

    In my opinion, training in Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is arduous at best. In my experience, there are numerous issues with creating training environments and that makes practice in a sandbox costly. I prefer asynchronous simulated environment training for this reason, but that costs even more due to the development and testing time needed to create that training. eLearning is always there with only the need to keep it up-to-date.

    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.

    When we implement Oracle and Taleo to different clients it typically goes pretty smoothly. When we do system upgrades we usually test the main issues the clients are having just to make sure there are not outstanding issues or errors. I don't have any examples where implementation went poorly. It typically goes well and clients are pleased with the final result. The only complaint would be the time it takes to implement

    Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is not as good as SuccessFactors HCM. The look and feel of Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is still 'old school'. Cloud solutions can do more.

    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.

    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.

    • As a long time PeopleSoft user, my institution has found great advantages of being involved in the HCM realm such as first-hand information, a complete suite of solutions as well as regular updates to stay up with federal and state regulations.
    • Ease of use of development, customization, maintenance and usage perspectives can lead to a better management of financial resources, that minimizes expenditure while providing all necessary resources.
    • Opportunities to provide better customer service and meet organizational policies have to lead to a positive outlook on the tool and its features.
