Reviews of BambooHR

BambooHR is a game-changer
Comments: I generally like the idea of the BambooHR having a comprehensive suite of HR solutions as it goes a long way in providing efficient HR management capabilities. Its robust reporting tools are excellent as they track the data and update me on time. their swift onboarding and offboarding processes has really become one of my favourite feature as it has reduced the general onboarding costs.
Pros:
BambooHR is a game-changer when it comes to HR software. We've been using it for our growing company for over a year now, and it has truly streamlined our HR processes. The onboarding and offboarding workflows that used to be a time-consuming process have been simplified .
Cons:
Despite that it provides valuable HR solutions, BambooHR is a bit relatively expensive for smaller businesses or startups. Individuals on a tight budget might be a little overwhelmed, but luckily I think they have introduced cheaper plans.
BambooHR makes my work life so much easier!!
Comments: Overall, very happy with BambooHR’s performance!! I recommend it to anyone who I know could benefit from it. Streamlines so many aspects of my day to day - hiring, onboarding, time clock, employee performance management, payroll, employee pulse surveys, .. the list goes on!
Pros:
Easy time-trackingPhone app makes it easy for coworkers to check time card Company-wide announcements (alert on phone if you have the app) Personnel documents all stored in one placeCan push out new procedures that require a signature after the coworker reviewsStreamlines the onboarding process Hiring platform is convenient and you can build templates for scheduling phone screenings and interviews You can process payroll right in BambooHRAttendance notes – we set it so that coworkers can see them, but you can keep them hiddenNotes – we set it so managers and admin can see those notes, but not the coworker. Good for documenting verbal warnings
Cons:
If you have a custom general ledger or another payroll report, they will build it for you, but it takes awhile to get it all sorted out We don’t pay the extra fee for benefits administration through BambooHR since we already use Employee Navigator through our benefits management group. (I have to manually select the benefits the coworkers choose to update their payroll deductions)
Need to add other functionalities
Comments: Nice but not best
Pros:
It has simple interface so I can find anything asap
Cons:
Needs to get rich with additional functionalities
Alternatives Considered:
A Partner for this HR Department of One!
Comments: BambooHR has saved me time, money and honestly some of my sanity. Before implementing BambooHR, I was spending most of my time manually updating employee's time off records, inputting pen and paper timesheets into a spreadsheet to then key into a payroll system, and using multiple systems to track job postings and candidates. Now, I have it all in one place with so many helpful and time saving features to make my day-to-day a little easier.
Pros:
Being able to bring so many various aspects of my job together in one platform has made me much more efficient in areas such as applicant tracking, time tracking, and payroll processing!
Cons:
One of my Bamboo HR wish list items is a scheduling feature! I would like to see this feature combined with the time clock function to help us enforce policies about clocking in early, as well as sending a reminder to clock in or out for scheduled shifts. I would also like to see improved calendar functionality. Currently, the only way to add items to the calendar are through the time off policies. I would like to be able to manually add events and other items to the calendar.
Alternatives Considered:
The only tool you need for all-things HR
Comments: BambooHR has made our HR processes a lot easier and more effectively manageable. With it, we completely transferred our HR operations to the cloud and set up automated systems for reporting on time off requests, applicant tasks, etc. I think it's a fantastic tool for expanding companies.
Pros:
I love how versatile Bamboo is. Especially compared to some of the other HR tools we evaluated, there are so many more modules and API capabilities you can run to make eveyrthing easier. The UI is pretty simplistic as well, which makes it very easy to integrate it into your current systems
Cons:
The mobile friendliness can be improved more in my opinon. It's a bit hard to navigate because of the performance issues. But other than that, nothing really sticks out.
