BambooHR vs. Core HR

As I mentioned before, our employee record maintenance has improved dramatically. I no longer store documentation on my desktop or in email. Everything is housed in one application. I have one place to go for data storage instead of two or three. It's a time saver, and the onboarding feature also helps with that by storing documentation where it should be stored.

Core HR is software that can so easily fit on any kind of HR management system. It has amazing features. In case of new recruitment applicant tracking, application management, approval process control, etc could easily solve with Core HR. It is very much suited for company records management. It is a complete database for current employees as well.

• The Applicant Tracking System is pretty good. Has a couple flaws but over all it's a really great module.
• The HR management system works really well and we love how much we can customize things we need.
• The Reporting feature is one of my favorite things about BambooHR. I can create any report I want and I love that.

• Functioning is very easy and very much clear to the new users as well.
• Detailed payroll structure of your compensation.
• Salary slip is available for all the previous months as well.
• Claiming of different allowances like phone bill, internet bill, shift allowance etc are very simple.
• We can easily track the time and attendance.

• The performance feature is a little clunky and not adjustable, so I would love to have more customizable options.
• When a candidate signs an offer letter, it would be great if it could show up under the documents tab. Right now, it gets a little buried.

Incentivized

• I would love the ability for reviews to be deleted.

There's nothing wrong with this platform. I would recommend it to any business starting with more than 10 employees. I will continue to use the program for as long as I need to, hoping they continue being tremendous and finding other ways to incorporate more technology.

BambooHR has been easy for me as a first-time HRIS user. It is clean and straightforward to operate. It has been an excellent upgrade for us. It seamlessly links to our website for job postings, and recruiting/onboarding is now easily tracked and done. BambooHR took us into the correct century in many ways.

Yes, there is a huge team in the back of the online platform or it looks like it because I have never been left without an answer when I have a question or waiting from a response on my chat .... There must be a huge team, this is so great and I always seem to have someone that is very knowledgeable too. So many times in the past I had to leave with customer service that would connect you with someone else because of the expertise, here everyone seems to be some kind of an expert in the HR function.

I love BambooHR. Reports are easy to run and download and it usually covers any types of requests I get from the management team. You get excel or .csv downloads/reports and it is fast and simple, not too crowded so it is easy to read through. We don't integrate the tool yet but again, soon we will. we just did not had the time to utilize it yet but that's the plan.

BambooHR support has been a pleasant surprise. I expected with a larger payroll/HR provider for the support to be a sticking point. BambooHR's support has been quite easy to contact and, in almost every case, very quick to respond with a solution to the issue we are facing.

I didn't have in-person training besides teaching my managers how to use the program. However, I couldn't omit this question (maybe a system glitch).

As far as I can recall, everything went well with doing it online and got questions answered. Was thankful to work with a dummy file to get used to some practices prior to getting our own domain within bamboo to then place our personnel information in the system, this helped a lot!

We implemented bambooHR in Fall, 2023 then implemented Payroll 1/1/24. A vital piece of information was not known or missed in that we are exempt from State Unemployment Tax and have a Reimbursement Set-up, so bambooHR did not send Payroll Reports to the State. Those reports need to be sent regardless if we are exempt or not.

BambooHR is much better. I often found TriNet had limited info and tools. We did not bother using it for timesheets or time off requests because it was just too annoying. It was also annoying to navigate. Many links to resources took you off the website. Bamboo includes everything within the platform and makes it easy.

The previous software I used was so limited in various core HR functions. On the other hand Core HR meets up our almost every requirement. And the very most reason to switch into Core HR is it has a free trail version for the users. That gives you much flexibility to check everything out properly

Since my organization has dropped with employees, I always find ways to reduce costs. I thought there would be a cheaper option, but I was glad that my package included a lot for the price, and downgrading would cost more. The rep could have let me downgraded and taken me to a higher package. I am thankful that didn't happen.

There is so much you can do with this platform, it is incredible and so welcoming. We don't utilize it 100% yet just because we are growing and the HR team has not been able to concentrate on other areas offered to us but but we will soon. Which is also why we got the product, specifically because what BambooHR can do to help us meet our growing business needs.

VERY professional!

• Gave more time back to HR, Directors, and Managers by providing options for easy reports and a place to have all the information.
• PTO! This has given so much time back to accounting as they no longer have to manually calculate PTO and it's also allowed our team to feel more comfortable to take time off by having an official way to ask off and see what their balances are.
• Onboarding and offboarding: this has helped HR with the many many tasks of helping team members come onboard as well as when they leave a company.
• Professionalism: the ability to create forms and has stepped up our game for new hires and even tracking things we have needed our team to fill out!

Incentivized

• We can see our all details here like salary statement.
• Payroll information(complete breakup of you compensation).
• Claim different allowances with this tool and track it as well.
• Track your time and attendance here.
• We can modify the shift plan here and change the WOs but it will go for approval to your manager.
• The process of changing the WOs, regularization is little difficult.
