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 ;)

Overall Experience Overall, BambooHR has been very helpful for a HRIS tool. However, there is still some manual processes with onboarding, transfers, and off-boarding. It seems that the offboarding tasks do not get triggered within the workflow like the onboarding ones. I also wish there was more integration with other platforms for background checks and benefits administration.

I'd recommend the software, but not the company. The software itself is good, can do most things and is pretty intuitive. However, 2 main issues: 1. We're based in the UK, were told that they can update everything to make it relevant for the UK and this isn't the case. This means things like gender/ ethnicity reporting etc. is useless as they will only accept US government definitions rather than those used in the UK (e.g. 'African American', 'Hispanic' etc.) along with various other bits and bobs which are irritating. 2. The sales team are great and give the impression that this is how all contact with the company will be. We were sold the induction package which was a waste of money, then any requests for support are pretty poorly handled. We've looked at competing products and decided not worth leaving, but it is irritating that we were oversold on what they can actually deliver.

Best HRIS software We have been using BambooHR since 2016. I thought the software was amazing then, but it continues to evolve. Last month, we transitioned to the Advantage Plan. We enabled the employee satisfaction and wellbeing features, amazing stuff.

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.
