"Easy-to-use HR software"

5/5

What do you like best about BambooHR?

I love the ease of it. Whether it's on my app or the website, I can find what I need quickly and effectively. I love it as an employee but also as an Administrator. We have expanded our package over the last several years and I love it so much more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I'm sure there's so much that I just don't know how to use. One thing that would be a more helpful add would be a better integration with recording and paying out Housing Allowances for our Ministers. It just requires a little extra work for me. But anytime I've had to call Customer Support, they have been super helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our PTO and time away reporting. It has been huge for both employee and HR to have an easier and effective way to record all this info in one location. Applicant Tracking has been so wonderful in BambooHR too! No more spreadsheets keeping track of all that- it's in one place! I also love have e-signing available for docs that we don't need a hard copy. It has helped with onboarding employees quickly and efficiently. The electronic record keeping is helping to save so much space in my office and allows the employee to reference those docs whenever. Payroll is also such a breeze! I do still have the occasional hiccup with payroll but a quick call or chat to Customer Support and I'm back up and running! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BambooHR: Consistently Soaring Costs Overshadowing Convenient Features"

0/5

What do you like best about BambooHR?

The time off request emails are good - they show who on your team will be out and you can single click approve from the email itself. Otherwise none of the functionality is worth the price and the price uncertainty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Biggest issue is how much they have increased prices and continue to do so. They know that switching HRMS is painful. Every year is either a large price increase or our plan being sunsetted with the only option being to switch to a more expensive plan (but no price increase as they repeatedly point out!). I regret having selected BambooHR, it is now overpriced for what we have and I have no reason to believe they won't continue to squeeze more money out of us.
