It is a very easy page to manage for people that are not used to computers or technology in general. That is one of the main reasons Hermosillo chose this service. It has a very friendly UI for every employee to understand, and that is really important because, in the end, we want our employees to feel comfortable looking at their information.

I would say it's mostly intuitive, I do find myself clicking on a couple of things before I find what I want.

Is very easy to navigate. All processes once explained, you can actually create an implement process associated to your HR goals. It is like a digital file of your employees, with functionalities that let you be on track on onboarding, performance, information, among others process. Time off approvals are easy to navigate.

Most features on BambooHR are super, duper, incredibly easy to navigate and figure out on your own. No matter what level you are, admin to employee, it is easy to figure it out without any help or job aid. But, there is 1/10 times when there is something we can't figure out, and after clicking around for 10-20 minutes, we have to reach out via chat or email and the answer is always something that I say to myself "I never would have figure this out on my own." 9/10 easy, sometimes randomly challenging.

Too many videos, having a person to person conversation is best and there is where I have issues, I mean not as bad as having dull moment, but I think I am still missing some fun out of it, because I am not a video watcher, becomes boring and if I could talk to someone, would make my understanding easier.

It is a very easy to use system, pretty upfront and intuitive. There is room for functionality improvements but overall the system has great usability. Support team is okay to reach, in my recent experience there has been many team wide meetings and support heroes are unavailable but the system to reach out to a support hero exists.

Overall I believe this aspect is very well done. As a first time HR rep this application has been excellent in helping me navigate HR functions within my role and company. As I continue to grow in the role and using BambooHR regularly, I will find myself having a comfortability with the functions.

The chat support, when online, is very helpful when I need assistance. For the most part, how do to something is user friendly. The help center can be a useful tool when I need assistance and see if its possible to figure out myself. BambooHR is easy to navigate and when I see something that isn't available I'm able to reach out and see if it's something being considered in the future or why they do things a certain way so that I am able to better understand, for example the questions that cannot be removed in an assessment.

I gave this a 6 as it really depends on the type of person who is using the software how intuitive it is. If you have a long tenured HR person using the software who knows exactly what they need they will enjoy BambooHR and be able to find the information they need. However, if it is someone who is not exactly sure what they need they will have a hard time finding and navigating the information.
