Makes managing people much easier As a manager of a marketing team, HR responsibilities can become a huge distraction to the work I actually need to get done. HR became something I hated dealing with, but Bamboo HR has made it so much easier. Their platform is great and easy to work with. Employees have the responsibility to do a lot of the work themselves, but the manager can do a lot of HR-related tasks easily and quickly on their platform. The automation of certain HR responsibilities makes my life much easier. I think anyone looking to automate more HR would be very happy with Bamboo HR.

Poor features, poor interface, needs an overhaul and expensive I've used Bamboo in a number of organisations and I can only assume they fired all of their software developers in the year 2000 because the interface and features are what I'd expect from that era. One-to-ones are a good example. This is a critical activity within HR to loop after people, yet one-to-ones are displayed in a table with narrow columns AND IN REVERSE ORDER. Who the hell though that was a good idea?

Unfortunately Bamboozle not the answer Yea since we’ve started with these people my pay check is similar to a Ferris wheel. I used to receive it every other Wednesday between 5:38 - 5:42 pm. Every single time. With Bamboozle, it’s Thursday morning, Friday morning or afternoon. Heck even at 2:46 am one time. So I call and of course they won’t tell me anything I’m not the contact person so. All these companies use every excuse to not help people. Their favorite word is unfortunately…….

Good software, poor sales experience While looking for HR software I trialled BambooHR having used it as an employee once before. The software itself is good. However, the experience with Sales lost them a customer. BambooHR are the only SaaS platform that refuse to list their prices. The reason for this is clear, they're not competitive and probably have no idea of their pricing structure. I asked numerous times what their pricing was for a certain package with a certain number of employees. They kept refusing to tell me, instead asking me to have a call with someone else. I really hate it when companies hide their pricing. For this reason I went elsewhere.

BambooHR is a broad-spectrum HR… BambooHR is a broad-spectrum HR solution: reasonably good at everything but not the greatest for most things. However, it is much better to have an integrated suite than to have multiple very specialized platforms, both from a cost and a usability perspective. All in all, we love the product! Their support is top-notch, as is their product management. Most of the new features are things that make us happy ;)
