What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?
Additionally, as we expand, their vast selection of prebuilt connectors enables us to further our business goals and maintain the interconnectedness of all our data. We are freeing ourselves up to concentrate on what matters most, developing our people, enhancing the employee engagement, and moving our business ahead by combining our HR tools with the BambooHR platform.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It's simple to build and use reports that are individually personalized. Everyone I interact with or deal with is incredibly polite and affable. The staff at BambooHR is excellent with clients. It is also very simple to put up and distribute forms for signing, and it is simple to locate official paperwork in employees' files once they have been finished. It's quite easy for folks to schedule time off and as well as managers to decline or accept.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Sincerely, the things I despise are really little. My biggest complaints usually revolve around the lack of customizing options. Overall, I wish their benefits module could be customized to meet Canadian needs rather than just being US-centric. We don't always had luck with the add-ons,
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Additionally, it is quite simple to rapidly pull other worker reports and email them to other persons while reporting while on vacation. It's fantastic to see that they pay attention to user feedback and are willing to frequently integrate new features because they have recently been producing a ton of new upgrades.

What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?
BambooHR is an HR platform that assists our expanding company in centralizing, automating, and connecting all of our personnel data in one location. It provides us with a one-stop destination for managing employee data, gathering insightful information, finding, hiring, and onboarding the finest employees, and streamlining payroll, tracking hours, and benefit collection.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It's great to have all employee information in one spot. I also adore being able to run reports, organize performance reviews, and distribute notifications to the entire group. The recruiting and onboarding processes are excellent, and so is the customer support. They have essentially considered everything. If they haven't, they'll always welcome criticism and will put suggestions into practice.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It can be difficult to comprehend how to set up leave management procedures, and I'm never sure I accomplished it correctly. I discovered on January 1st that I hadn't done it correctly, but it was too late and I required to adjustments to everybody's balances. Additionally, only US-based businesses can use payroll and some other tools.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
BambooHR would be perfect if you're looking for a solution that's very organized and simple to use, is uncomplicated in terms of the HRIS, and doesn't require a complicated ATS. I believe BambooHR does a great job handling the HRIS side of things; it has strong reporting, a nice procedure for requesting signatures, good onboarding features, and good time-off monitoring and approval features.

BambooHR is stable and sufficient
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?
You are able to keep work epically agile at a moderate cost, stable 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with consistent HR workgroups, and a wonderful deck of possibilities that are customized for us. There are probably other applications out there that are of less use, but the surprising level of confidence that it instills in us when we are installing BAMBOO is the aspect of the program that I value the most.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect is that BambooHR is a very stable program in the HR team of my company ituniversal and this is essential since many times the backlog continues after normal business hours. Perhaps it is important to note that it does not cause me problems when entering from other laptops and Internet IPs and I am grateful for that, the implications of security barriers are minor in order to control access.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There is nothing in particular that I do not like; however, some editions and options are sluggish or do not work sometimes; yet, these issues can easily be fixed by making a phone call or sending an email to support.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I recommend to the bamboo work team that they continue along this path of development and constant updating and to the HR colleagues that they are encouraged to try it because it is a stable and complete program, it brings with it talent management, payroll, administration and everything necessary to meet objectives in this delicate department.
