Reporting is too basic to have an impact and requires a lot of manual work to make the numbers make any sort of impact. Custom reports don't allow for any calculations on the platform itself, and standard reports aren't always on what is most important. This is especially true in reporting on anything related to candidates. Time to hire is segmented and basic and doesn't give me any indication of the company average. I often have to use Excel.

BambooHR's reporting feature is really great. They provide many standard reports, but the best feature of all is the customizable reporting. I can pretty much create a report for anything I need using only the data fields I want and then can create a custom standard name for this report and use it over and over. If I don't need it anymore, I can get rid of it. I love that you can convert most reports to PDF or Excel.

Reporting is great. Very functional. I think some execs have more report access than me (admin). This sometimes makes it tricky to assist my manager in pulling a report - they have to do it themselves.

happy with what I am able to pull up when I need it. I would like to be able to simply view some things that are not as easy to obtain, like calendar week hours and pay vs. pay period. I have been able to create my own reports for data with ease. I can access information quickly.

In this case, the reporting is one of the pain points, mainly the historical aspect; you should contact the payroll teams to get a more detailed view of this aspect because the reporting for the payroll team is crucial and, in my company, is not that good.

We are able to pull reports and manipulate them in any way that we need to. It is helpful that we have reports then that are saved and we don't have to try and recreate them as well as easily being able to send a report to a manager about their team.

Almost all of my work in the company focuses on employee and people analytics, so basically creating custom reports makes my job a lot easier. It has helped us build external dashboards to present it to managers and discover insights and new ways to make our company better. Reporting has been very efficient all the time I've been using BambooHR at the moment.

Reporting functions work great. You can create your own reports, that has made decision making process more efficient for the managers and the owners on certain topics. Tracking every process and accumulate the data has been a game changing. for example, turnover rates - document tracking, performance completion all are great tools.

We use reports often. When I need a report for our current business stats, it's great. I think the reporting has a ton of features that you can break down the information into lots of categories. They are easy to use and quick to run. I called this out in another section, but will here as well: I wish there was a feature to choose the timeframe of reporting. I am often in the position where I am looking to run a report at a point in time, but instead I have to come up with clever filters to edit the report in Excel after it has run which takes time. Maybe this is an add-on, but I feel it should be a basic function of any reporting. Another random callout - some of the categories will show in the same cell in Excel, I wish these tidbits would break out into their own cells and not have all information lumped together.

BambooHR standard reports are great, wish there were some more. Some room for improvement on the reporting function, would be so helpful if the standard reports could be slightly tweaked or customized, but overall reporting functions are helpful for internal company reports.

It has been a huge relief and valuable function for the company. It provides a quick and easy way to access reports especially when needed in a timely manner. It has helped make the company look professional as well with how the reports are processed and look. I look forward to utilizing the reports function more.
