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

  • I liked the setup process and the customization to my company needs. The integration with QuickBooks generating weekly time sheets is great, there is no need to upload files. The geofencing is a valuable feature. Making changes and corrections involve simple steps. In general the product is easy to use and great value for money.
  • Clocking in and out, also tracking time PTO/Vacation. Like the calendar to show who is off each day.
  • I love that the payroll entry is so user friendly. From the time sheets to the payroll processing, this is a smooth process.
  • It is very easy to access online. If I have any problems there are always someone there to assist me.
  • We use workforce hub as a total solution for our time clock, onboarding, and HR needs. It has everything you need to adequately manage a business with around 50-100 employees like us. I can see it scaling up to 500 employees with ease. Most of the tasks we need to be complete are intuitive to navigate through the menus. They have a mobile app that is fully featured with remote login, time off requests, or time card review(and notation). Fingerprint login is also available and easy to setup.

Cons

  • When using the QuickBooks integration, the over time needs to be classified manually.
  • Wanted to be able to adjust already approved time off, in the current weeks time sheet.
  • I don't have any cons to this company. All issues that I had in the beginning, were quickly responded to and taken care of.
  • There are a few design flaws that I don't like. If you have staff that have been "terminated" you can't add their their W-2.
  • Lengthy onboarding experience and some minor issues with time punch exporting initially.
