Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?

BambooHR is very intuitive, regularly develops new features to stay up to date.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ATS makes me gain a lot of time, is very user friendly, and enables you to automate many tasks.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Sometimes the features are updated without any notice.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you consider it for the ATS system, it is very effective. I feel like it differentiates a little less for the other HR management aspects (benefits, performance...)

Pros

  • Enables Productivity
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Trustworthy

Cons

  • Slower Product Innovation

Reliable HRIS with quick report generation

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?

We can monitor the progress of each division and the chances available to aid with staff retention thanks to the time tracking on projects and the many reports. The employee's and my personal details are easily accessible, making the onboarding process quick and painless. Benefits monitoring is a nice extra, too.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I think the performance evaluation system is fantastic. My company's previous system was cumbersome and time-consuming in comparison to this one. In addition to being straightforward and uncomplicated, it's also quite user-friendly.

What do you dislike most about this product?

They have a poor payroll system. Complexity of any kind renders it useless. Their sales staff guaranteed success. They provide zero assistance to their customers. We've wasted three months creating a solution that's no better than the industry standard for payroll and time tracking.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Nothing gets scattered about. In the past, information was scattered over multiple locations and mediums, making it difficult to retrieve when needed. Everything I might need is in one convenient location now.

Pros

  • Enables Productivity
  • Efficient Service
  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product

Absolutely adore the simplicity of BambooHR.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?

With that said, my time spent with BambooHR has been overwhelmingly good. For the most part of my time working in human resources, I have relied on this platform exclusively.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to view an employee's expected return from leave right on their profile page is one of my favorite features of BambooHR. Having the ability to specify and accurately monitor mandatory training elements is another plus (separately from the non-required ones). The same holds true for a high school diploma or equivalent and a valid driver's license. Managers value the snapshot view because it shows them who an employee previously reported to and where they have progressed across the organization.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Really, I can't think of a single drawback to using BambooHR. However, I do wish there was a little more functionality in terms of tracking training, such as allowing staff to designate training as complete.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It's a fantastic platform made with the intention of assisting any organization, no matter how big or little, and it's a perfect fit for a business that wants to speed up and enhance its human resources management. It will introduce automation, guaranteeing flawless and constantly-improved record-keeping and operations across the board. It's a good fit for places where businesses want to set up an application tracking system, which will help you find and keep the best employees.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
