About

Innential is a talent management platform that enables effective people development in tech companies with an aim to increase employee retention. Statistics show that for 45% of employees the main reason to leave a company is lack of growth opportunities and clear developmental paths. The cost of new hires including employee onboarding and training spans from 30% of employees' annual salary for entry-level roles to even as high as 200% for senior roles. To tackle that problem Innential gives managers full transparency of skills available and needed in the companies and uses that data to help managers plan their resources better and increase internal mobility (internal hiring). On the other hand, it gives employees the ability to share their knowledge and find the right opportunities to grow. All in all, Innential aims to be the one-stop-shop for all the people development needs in companies.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Secure login and easy to use from the employee side. Easy to find the information I need and quick feedback from my manager.
  • We implemented BambooHR to manage all our HR needs including hiring and onboarding etc. It is now managed by our head of HR but I oversaw the initial implementation. The UI is very easy to navigate and the steps in the overall HR process follow a logical flow making it easy to onboard and get up and running.
  • It is possible to automate, streamline and manage the entire lifecycle of an employee from hiring to retirement. It a reliable tool for employees onboarding and recruiting. It is simple to track and manage employees time and attendance sheet with BambooHR. It is simple to get generate timely employees payrolls with BambooHR. It is a convenient tool for benefit administration.
  • So incredibly to use for both the user and administrator. The design and look is beautiful and catches the eye. Many features for small and medium companies to use, a great platform to use as an opportunity to step away from paperwork.
  • If you have never used an HRIS, Bamboo HR will make you feel wonder why you didn't take the leap years ago. If you currently use an HRIS, you will find that Bamboo HR's platform makes is approachable for all employees across the company. You will have a dashboard that puts control in the hands of your employees, freeing you to develop your team and avoid time consuming manual paperwork tasks.

Cons

  • You can see a lot of company details and information which some might find a bit invasive. I have heard from the admin side that it works well but takes a bit to set up.
  • Currently pricing is affordable for the size of our team but it was hard to get estimates of what our price might be in the future as we scale.
  • The performance of BambooHR tends to be slow when running multiple activities at the same time.
  • It is only built for small and medium companies, so if you are a big enterprise it wouldn't make sense for you to look into this platform.
  • Bamboo has Marketplace 3rd party applications that tie into Bamboo, but unless it is tied in with two way communication you will still struggle with multiple vendors/websites to accomplish all the work you may want to do. Bamboo is working to incorporate more vertical features so they are directly connected into Bamboo. But if you use a program outside of Marketplace, then you will need to supply the programmers to ensure the coding works. Not impossible just make sure you are aware.
