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.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • The ONLY thing I liked were the promises made at the sales call that were not fulfilled. I can’t think of any other pros at all.
  • Paycom is a fantastic service to develop all kinds of payroll payments for all your employees, with the help of this platform you can also keep track of the number of payments made in a specific week or in a specific month, you can have a base of Fully automated data that will allow you to know details about all the payroll payments made. This platform has advanced tools so you can have a correct administration of payroll payments, it also allows you to review automated payments and much more. Next, I will mention the positive things that this platform has. 1.- One of the main positive things that this platform has is the automated payroll payment system, this system allows simultaneous payments for a large number of employees, this system works wonderfully in companies that have many employees in different sectors, since it will be able to make payroll payments at the same time for each one of them, this will help a lot to save time and you will not have to make any type of payment manually, with the help of this system you will be able to pay in full of the hours worked by each employee simultaneously, just by registering the number of hours worked, the system will send the corresponding money to each employee. 2.- Another of the things that I like about this platform is that it allows you to keep a complete record of the amount of payroll payments made since you started using the platform, just by accessing a payment plan on this platform, you will have the opportunity to store all types of payroll payments, the record will be stored within the platform, It does not matter if you have many records of different payroll payments that you have made many previous months, in the same way this platform will be able to store all that information in the cloud, so you can access it as many times as you want. In addition, having this information stored in the cloud will allow it to always remain secure, your entire corporate sector will be able to access that protected information in which details of all payroll payments made at all times will be provided. 3.- Another thing that I love about this platform is that it has an excellent synchronization system with our work time measurement platform, this integration synchronization allows all hours worked and overtime, as well as rest hours are accounted for and automatically this information is transferred to our payroll payment system. This integration is fantastic, since we will not have to manually record the number of hours worked and the rest hours of each of the employees, in an automated way all this information will be transferred to our Paycom system, so that all employees receive their payroll depending on the hours counted by the software. 4.- I also love that this platform not only allows me to manage the amount of payroll payments made for our employees, but also has a function to manage the budget of each of the trips that your employees make, as well as allowing have a real-time monitoring of any trip of your employees, it has an application for mobile devices which is capable of tracking each employee and monitoring the progress of the trip within the platform. You will no longer have to carry out any type of budget management manually, with the help of this platform you will be able to make a complete budget for what you will spend on your employees' trip. 5.- Finally, it is important to highlight the function that this platform has, which allows a voucher to be sent to each employee when a new payroll payment is made. For this function to work correctly, each one of the business emails of each employee must be registered, in this way the platform will create a voucher in detail Specifying each one of the deductions that were made within the payroll payment, whether deductions for tax or any additional charge of the company, this Function will allow you to make all kinds of deductions in an automated way, and will send these details by email each time you run the payroll payment. You would no longer have to contact your employees manually to explain each of the deductions, this platform will do it for you.
  • Paycom is an ingenious manager that allows us to streamline and even automate various tasks that we thought could not be done better. Thanks to its various task management and organization tools, it has allowed us to enhance our work and take the work we have been doing in our company to the next level, making small tasks no longer our concern or taking away work time so that We can focus on more important things. I like that it provides an extensive database, which gives us the possibility of controlling and storing the data of each of our employees, creating a solid system that allows us to manage the work team in a secure and centralized manner. Paycom is the ideal platform for the billing system, whether for payroll payments, vacations, compensation, overtime, among others, in this way we take care of a much closer and more efficient way of processing all payments in a more efficient way. optimal, in the necessary time and without so much process. This to accompany us in various processes, including hiring, allows us to evaluate the profiles to select the most suitable, it has a special module in charge of monitoring candidates, which has been very useful to us. The task panel has been essential for labor management, to achieve proper performance of our work and distribute efforts to try to cover everything necessary, in addition to being able to evaluate the work performance of each team member. Paycom also offers reports, which in my opinion add significant value to the tool, since it presents us with reports on payments, selection of candidates, work performance and status of each employee.
  • Paycom is a fairly complete service when it comes to making the corresponding payroll payments for your employees, the main thing that I like about this platform is that it has a function that allows you to deduct the amount of corresponding taxes for the country in which you are, that means that if your company is in a Latin American country, you will be able to use this platform and the taxes will be automatically deducted from each of the payments you make to your employees, this function is very important since it makes the deduction automatically . Another thing that I like about this platform is the effectiveness and punctuality when making payroll payments, you can configure automated payroll payments within this platform, so that they are executed within a specific date and time specific, I have noticed that the payments are very punctual, if I have configured the payment for a specific hour, it is made in that specific hour, which helps our employees to obtain their payroll money immediately.
  • It is a great platform with essential tools to perform payroll management, it has endless options to perform this task but even so, it is a simple platform that has everything we need. It provides mobile access which is ideal to be able to carry out real-time management, at any time you need to do so. From a close-up it allows me to do a complete check of each one of the employees, it provides perfect tools to do this, a database where it is possible to view important information, task manager and workflow, as well as control of work time. worked. It allows us to do a lot of monitoring in just one tool, accompanied by a course system with asynchronous integration to make this process much easier, based on 360-degree feedback, where we evaluate in detail the best skills and weaknesses for highlighting areas where it is necessary to prioritize further professional and personal development. It allows me to evaluate the performance that each employee has, make reports with analysis that is carried out in detail and that is expressed in a quite dynamic way with each aspect that we need to evaluate, in addition to a broad task panel that allows us to follow a very well described work path. A strong point is talent management, it allows us to evaluate the professional profile of new applicants, make new hires and even accompanies us in the payroll payment process, it is just configuring the information, adapting the data in the base and sending that information to be processed, in this way the payments are sent to each employee and there has been no concern about sending the payments late, nor any inconvenience with missing payments. It automates a manual job and does it intuitively and efficiently.
  • The software has a lot of features and is likely great for larger organizations with staff to manage it.
  • Clean User interface. User friendly experience. Mobile accessibility.
  • Awesome HRIS system!!! This HRIS system gets the job done. It's easy to use for both the employer and employee.
  • Paycom is rather easy to use. The payroll process is similar to that of other payroll processing platforms. Employees frequently utilized the app.
