Loved BambooHR and was looking to move to them with my last company until I decided to make a job change. Paylocity was very difficult to use and their customer service was abysmal. I did not use the payroll feature. The reporting with Trax was not as robust as we would have liked but we were still vetting the product when I left the company.

Dayforce makes just about everything a million times harder, more difficult and more time consuming. BambooHR is very user friendly and very easy to access, while Dayforce is not. It takes me about 10 to 15 minutes to search something in Dayforce when it would have only taken seconds in BambooHR.

I think BambooHR complements all these other tools for our company but it does not really compare to what we do with it. By doing this survey I am learning a few other things I did not know about BambooHR and expect to review further the possibility to test some of those features we are not using, or we are not even paying for.

We ended up going with BambooHR because it handled its side of things smoothly and effectively, with a UI our team could use easily. We ended up pairing it with Deputy because Deputy handles the time clock, schedule management, and payroll side much more effectively, but didn't handle HR at all. They integrate behind the scenes for us to provide a comprehensive solution in our case. When we compared BambooHR to other solutions we found that overall it was less expensive than some of the other options, even with Deputy paired with it. Their support has been exceptional along the way, and their developer documentation is significant.

Although there are many products in the marketplace, there is no perfect system. BambooHR is the most economical HRIS for a small business, start-up, or business that has never had HR software. BambooHR was selected for its affordable functionality. However, if they continue to ingore the lack of functionality the pretty package will no longer have any value.

BambooHR was a more inclusive package that was much easier to navigate and use according to the team that evaluated it, I was part of this effort. We spent a lot of time on this as we were ditching several other platforms to consolidate to one tool and wanted to make sure we wouldn't need to go out and buy other tools on top of this one.

BambooHR pricing leaves it a bit harder of a sell than some of the competitors we have used in the past. If it was fully featured rich with an overflow of integrations that might be different, but as it stands, without a pricing change, I think that bridge is a harder sell for me to think of re-implementing.

Again, the interface, it's so much easier to use. The labels of the buttons are simple and go straight to the point so [which] makes it easier to find what you are looking for. Also, the page design is very pleasing to see, it doesn't have too-serious dark colors or strong useless lines and boxes everywhere. Everything is laid out in a way that you feel comfortable and capable of finding what you need.

Well, BambooHR is a target software designed specifically for HR tasks. So it is lightweight, simple, fast both in use and in maintenance. Since it is flexible, you can ask the developers to add something specifically for your use cases. It's simple and intuitive, user-friendly. There is a web interface and an application (although without 100% functionality).
The time to start with BambooHR is much faster.

Lattice offers a much richer performance and meeting management experience, but is of course an entirely separate product to be maintained and for users to understand. It's going to be up to each org but if your performance management plans are not overly complex, BambooHR will be a clear winner.

It fits the size of our organization and is very user-friendly. It seems to be run by more modern people in the back. The website and all the documents and webinars offered are dynamic looking. All of these small details helped us make our decision and we like it.

BambooHR offers flawless perfoming apps for different operating systems and it is recommended to remote and decentralized teams. It has a quote-based pricing scheme which can be tailored by any business to meet their needs no matter the size and even before making the final decision there is a free trial to check their features.

  • We used ADP previously. However, it was too large of a company that did not offer an account manager or representative; therefore, when issues arose, it was challenging to process payroll and reports as only a general help/call center was available.
  • ADP also had difficulties with setting up Pastoral Wage/Salary vs. Housing allowances, and because we are a church, that was a significant issue. The HR side was also not nearly as user or mobile-friendly.

Workday is more for an enterprise scale in my opinion. BambooHR is great for small to mid sized companies. Both have a lot of the same tools, but BambooHR is very simple for new people to learn which makes it great for smaller scale teams and companies. Workday might have more functionality but is bulky.
