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.

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable

Exceptional Human Resources Management Software

What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?

Before implementing BambooHR, we lacked a reliable repository for all of our records. Our problem was effectively resolved by BambooHR, and now upper management can view all employees in a matter of seconds. It has helped us in terms of exposure and accessibility, which is especially important given that we are a multinational corporation based in a faraway location.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Although no HRIS can offer every conceivable feature, Bamboo HR comes pretty close, and the company is constantly working to improve their offerings. The interface is both straightforward and aesthetically pleasing, making the platform a pleasure to use. I believe the intuitive interface will encourage stakeholder adoption across the company. Even their customer service is quick and helpful. The employees at Bamboo HR always sound happy and positive in their correspondence, suggesting that they take pride in their work.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Since it's designed to be universally applicable, there aren't many options for personalization. The reporting is useful, but there aren't a ton of data points that can be turned into real objectives. Unfortunately, the mobile app only has a fraction of the features of the browser. Dsesk-job employees can appreciate the browser platform for its superior usability. Because of the app's limited functionality, it has been more challenging to gain the support of warehouse workers.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

A little over four years into my time with BambooHR, I can say without hesitation that it has been a pleasure. As far as software goes, it's the easiest thing I've ever used. I really like the option that gives workers the freedom to enter their information, verify it with a signature, make edits, and then save the results. In addition to the location where open positions are displayed to users, I'd highlight aspects of BambooHR that enhance my productivity and satisfaction.

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

Amazing Human Resources Management Software

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?

As a human resources management tool, BambooHR is top-notch and comes with my highest recommendation. Its user-friendliness and robust functionality make maintaining personnel data a breeze.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Having access to all of your staff's information in one convenient location is invaluable. I also appreciate that we can easily create reports, schedule performance assessments, and broadcast messages to the entire team. The onboarding and employment processes are top-notch, and so is the customer service.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Weaknesses exist, though they are minor. It wasn't as powerful as I'd hoped for when it came to hiring for a large-scale expansion, but the program did help us out in the beginning when we were just getting started.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

My time spent with BambooHR thus far—just over four years—has been excellent. It's the easiest program I've ever used, and that's saying a lot. Employees may add their information, verify it by signing, make edits, and then save the file, which is a fantastic feature. Where open positions are displayed to users is another element I like much, and I could go on and on about the ways in which BambooHR has improved my work life.

Pros

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