It is a very easy to use and very economical program.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

This software has a lot to offer HR professionals at a reasonable price. It's easy to use and comprehend because to the user-friendly layout. Even if the product is unable to perform the requested function, the customer support personnel is always quick to respond and helpful.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Oversimplified features such as performance management are in need of a little further fleshing out. The payroll system they bought isn't quite as beautiful, but it works. While the deployment went well, there were a few hiccups during the first payroll cycle and benefit set-up.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Compared to other possibilities, this is a great option for a small firm that is growing and has low expenses. Modules (payroll, performance) may be added as needed to allow for future growth.

  • Unique Features
  • Efficient Service

What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?

We can maintain all of your new hiring documentation in one place by managing information about persons, sheets, and so on. Our new recruits can readily use it, and they are not waiting in line for a supervisor to input their new hire paperwork/direct deposit information. It is subsequently forwarded to our human resources clerk, who is in charge of office personnel.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The simplicity of use of the interface and access to the mobile app has resulted in fantastic outcomes in keeping people tools such as booking sheets, etc. It also provides an excellent perspective of individuals in the hierarchy and organizational chart. We like the responsibility we get as BambooHR team members; we can give our staff precise expectations, which helps keep our team together. It is a safe location where our employees may keep their health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, payroll information, direct deposit information, reviews, and follow-ups hidden from other employees.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The platform's design is antiquated and uninteresting at first appearance, but the platform's and website's accessibility compensates for this and doesn't seem to make much of a difference until you get into the depths of what the platform and BambooHR have to offer. in its entirety I am optimistic that Bamboo will be able to interface with all payroll firms and their various systems. Search function in mobile app occasionally not working, there may be some issue peculiar to my app, however it may be addressed with an enhanced update.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This tool definitely helps you manage people and their management tasks. Take the time to explore the different things Bamboo HR offers. It may seem a bit basic at first, but navigating the waters of this platform reveals that it's very easy to use and has most of the HR features I need in my office.

What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?

Human resources staff members use BambooHR to conduct background checks on employees, teams, departments, and more. My ability to plan and organize for future promotions has improved thanks to the visibility BambooHR gives me into an employee's organizational progression. Instead of using numerous spreadsheets to track employee data, we now have it all stored in BambooHR. The announcement feature is excellent and allows us to easily communicate with our employees, regardless of where they are working. Having the option to clock in and out gives workers more freedom.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

For everyone from employees to managers to administrators. It's become our go-to place for tracking employee time and attendance, evaluating their performance, and even conducting surveys about their general well-being. The team at BambooHR is constantly working to improve and introduce new features based on user feedback. In addition, a wide range of third-party integrations are available. A phone call, a chat, or an email is all it takes to get excellent customer service.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I'm at a loss for words. My experience with BambooHR's functionality and features has been nothing short of stellar. Making it a little easier to see when people are out of town on their calendars.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

In my opinion, BambooHR is ideally suited to the needs of newly hired employees. As a new user, I think the site is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. Because this site allows companies to post their policies and resources, I cannot think of a situation in which this site would not be ideal for an organization. "beep boop," misspelling, and the need to log in again to access the help function are just a few examples of the less-than-professional aspects. BambooHR is probably the best option for a simple data warehouse for employees.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Enables Productivity
  • Efficient Service
  • Inspires Innovation
