About

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 & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • WorkBright has significantly increased both our efficiency in processing I-9 verifications, and increased our confidence in compliance. New hires that go through the I-9 verification report ease of use with uploading documents and signing their I-9, and it allows our HR team to easily onboard remote employees. The system also will alert us when documents are expiring, which is a great feature. The price for the platform is reasonable, especially considering the compliance piece and ease of use for both new hires and admin. Overall highly recommend for any organization.
  • Easy Remote Onboarding User-Friendly Interface Automated Compliance Time-Saving Features Great Customer Support
  • I've had an amazing experience with WorkBright! The platform is incredibly user-friendly and efficient. It has streamlined our onboarding process and made managing HR tasks so much easier. The support team is always responsive and helpful. Highly recommend for any business looking for a reliable HR solution!
  • I really like the user-friendly Interface the platform is intuitive and easy to navigate. I also appreciate the remote I-9 Verification WorkBright simplifies the I-9 verification process, allowing new hires to complete it remotely.
  • WorkBright made it a simple process to be able to remote verify i9 and it was also easy for the candidates to do their part of the process.

Cons

  • Although not often, we have had a handful of new hires over the prior few years have trouble logging into their account or uploading documents. We've been successful in troubleshooting by using the chat support, but it still happens with maybe 1 out of every 40 new hires that joins (usually those who struggle with technology).
  • There are times when it does glitch and you have to manually resend.
  • While WorkBright offers many benefits, there are a few potential drawbacks. Some users may experience a learning curve during setup, and the platform's customization options can be limited for businesses with specific needs. Additionally, it can be on the pricier side for small businesses, and integration with certain third-party tools may not always be seamless. Some users have reported longer wait times for customer support, and the mobile app may not be as feature-rich as the desktop version. Despite these minor issues, WorkBright remains a strong choice for many businesses.
  • While the platform is mobile-friendly, we have heard from some users that they can have difficulties in uploading identification documents and navigating the application process.
  • The pricing of WorkBright is higher than the other programs but it works.
