    BambooHR
    It's suitable for companies that want to streamline HR paperwork without getting overwhelmed. If you're a tech startup with a volatile payroll, high turnover, and multiple platforms that require a reliable source of truth for integrations, BambooHR is a gem. It's not suitable for companies with payroll outside of North America that aren't willing to pay for two systems or double their work. Companies without a technical background might miss out on the API integrations, which we consider one of the most important features. Es adecuado para empresas que quieran organizar el papeleo de RR.HH. sin morir en el intento. Si eres una Startup tecnológica, con nómina volátil, alta rotación, y muchas plataformas que requieran una fuente de verdad confiable para sus integraciones, BambooHR es una gema. No es adecuado para empresas que tengan Payroll fuera de Norteamérica y no estén dispuestas a pagar por dos sistemas o trabajar doble. Empresas sin perfil técnico podrían desperdiciar la parte de las integraciones por API, algo que para nosotros es de las cosas más importantes. This review was originally written in Spanish and has been translated into English using a third-party translation tool. While we strive for accuracy, some nuances or meanings may not be perfectly captured.

    Useful in a wide range of performance management-based situations. Allows options like supervisor and peer feedback, as well as messaging and addition of notes to profiles and appraisals. Allows for uploading of external documents as well as creation PerformancePro-specific documents. We have used the system for both bi-annual and annual appraisals, and both cycles worked well. If your organization keeps performance-based records in another system or file structure, you might not utilize many of the options PerformancePro has, which could lead to it feeling underutilized.

    Pros
    BambooHR
    • It's a great hub to see the company's current status on who's off, how many days off we have, and which holidays are coming up.
    • Feedback forms are a great way to help you and your team grow. They're easy to set up and use.
    • Training management is a great feature since it centralizes the required trainings.

    • Customization - allows employers to edit language throughout the review process to reflect company terminology.
    • Automation - automatic emails and reminders for every step of the appraisal process. Saves time by reducing human follow-up at various points.

    Cons
    BambooHR
    • I think it could display PTO in number of days, as well.
    • I wish that the benefits page was easier to navigate.
    • I don't like that the pay stub area is hidden, since I am typically alone at home when I review that data.

    • Interface - user interface could be updated to a more modern feel. Home screen (with widgets) feels somewhat cramped and widget displays could be more fully optimized.
    • Admin functions - Robust options, but the display of company edit pages is somewhat busy, and functions are sometimes buried under multiple pages of access.

    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.

    I think BambooHR is super easy to use and understand. I would recommend the system, and it helped my company decide to keep it when we were considering a change. I also think our users find it easy to use, since we don't get many calls from people struggling.

    Reliability and Availability
    BambooHR
    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.

    Through their help center, FAQs, and live customer service agents, I've always received prompt, accurate, and helpful guidance when I reach out with questions. Their live-agent customer service hours cover a good portion of the day, and I get the help I need whenever I need it.

    In both chat and phone support, representatives have always been helpful and ready to offer assistance with any question or concern. Over the course of five years, there have been a few occasions when follow-up was assured but did not happen (or did not happen in a timely manner.) But much more frequently, support has been quick to follow-up and provide information as promised.

The continuation Support heros after implementation are wonderful and you can always get a LIVE person each time you call into their office.

    Implementation Rating
    BambooHR
    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
    Bamboo HR's user interface is better than the alternative products listed above. It is easier to scroll through tabs and navigate different sections and reports. You do not need to train your team members to use Bamboo HR. This saves time on training. The user interface of other products listed above is not as simple and clean as Bamboo HR.

    Contract Terms and Pricing Model
    BambooHR
    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.

    BambooHR
    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.

    Return on Investment
    BambooHR
    • We used to pay an outside firm to handle these things. We paid about the same per month as we do for BambooHR® and they would answer HR questions when we needed them to.
    • Onboarding goes a lot smoother and it's easy to collect esignatures.
    • Time off has become much more visible across the organization and managers can see their own team's requests and the requests of others to better plan our schedule.
