What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?
In a firm of 100 workers, I am the sole HR representative. They couldn't understand how much I may accomplish. With BambooHR, I could use email notifications, automated procedures, and analytics to spot problems before they become problems. Bamboo is wonderful since it allows us to put it all in one spot. It has evolved into a one-stop shop for HR requirements on both the worker and administrative ends of the business. Excellent for monitoring and onboarding new employees
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
To perform activities, only a few keystrokes are required. I like how the ATS smoothly assists in the hiring and onboarding of new staff. Giving off on applications is very simple to establish and submit, and it is simple to locate signed papers in workers' files after done. It is also incredibly simple to report on leave, and also retrieve other staff reports and immediately email them to others. Automation is my favorite. It helps me in saving time while also being vigilant and catching problems before they can become problems. I appreciate that they're all up to date on the hottest and finest trends in the HR domains, which is essential.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There is no genuine payroll plug-in. We are currently using ADP for only payroll; however, we are wanting to enhance our payroll. I want BambooHR used to have a strong challenger for an API connection, plug-in, or addon. As a consumer, I dislike the inability to split the leaves into multiple categories. At the end of the year, I'd like to see how many of my vacations were for pleasure and how many of those are due to a medical illness or emergency of some type.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Bamboo HR is an excellent choice if you want a solution that is simple to use and doesn't require a sophisticated ATS. BambooHR, in my opinion, performs HRIS quite well; that has strong reporting, a solid signing application procedure, great onboarding capabilities, and great time-off monitoring and approval activities.
Pros
- Reliable
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy
- Efficient Service

Best in class HR software.

What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?
Everything is in one place, easy to use and at your fingertips, whether you're using the app or the desktop version. The corporate office can send bulk updates, which you can view and refer to if necessary. BambooHR assists us in meeting all of our safety and training documentation needs. Furthermore, the recruiting and onboarding components make it simple to review and collaborate with other managers during the hiring process.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
BambooHR provides us with excellent tools for organizing, managing, and storing all of our employee files, as well as managing payroll and benefits. We particularly appreciate how simple it is to communicate with our team members. BambooHR customer service is outstanding. So far, the best feature is the app that you can download on your phone; it, like the website, is fully functional. You can clock in and out and be geotagged to prevent cheating, request time off, view pay stubs, and so on.
What do you dislike most about this product?
So far, the only disadvantage of switching to BambooHR has been that our pay stubs are not available until payment day, whereas they were previously available two days earlier with the other program we use. We occasionally discover areas in BambooHR that are difficult to change. Fortunately, their customer service is friendly and responsive, and they can assist you with any problems.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
BambooHR is a cloud-based human resource management system that I highly recommend. It could be the software your company has been looking for to streamline your processes and keep all of your HR needs in one place. I highly recommend BambooHR because it's simple to use, can be used on your iPhone, and has fantastic reports.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity

BambooHR is a great database software.

What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?
BambooHR has been a trusted partner for applicant tracking, managing our onboarding process, employee reviews, and now payroll. We have been a customer for many years and have added various layers to their service offering as they are implemented or tested. The company is huge and it's great to have a tool where you can find everything in it. I've been with the company for over 3 years, so I use BambooHR to look at new hires and see if they might be a perfect fit for a specific program.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I appreciate the BambooHR UI since it makes it simple to find all of the choices on your profile. If you have administrator privileges, you may view all of your and your team's information. The smartphone version is likewise rather comprehensive. BambooHR offers adaptations to match my specific requirements. We have a large number of workers and have set up many data tables to keep track of whatever we could require for future research.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Bad judgments made during the onboarding process might be difficult to handle later on. Tables make things easier since they allow you to export and import data in bulk, but previous knowledge is essential for successful application. I don't like that you have to be an admin to make changes to your own profile, such as changing your address or shirt size. Also, only administrators may alter their profile images.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Spend at least a week installing the tool for all of the data you intend to input. If you want to, you'll be delighted you joined the BambooHR family.

- Reliable
