Overall Satisfaction with BambooHR
Everyone in our corporate office uses BambooHR to track our paid time off, our jury duty time, our HR documents, to see who works at our company, their contact information, whether they are out that day or not, and to view information about any new employees that have been hired recently.
Pros
- BambooHR is super easy to log into and has a very intuitive user interface.
- I love the technology being used -- you can hover over items and get a quick look at what you want to know.
- It's easy to see how many hours you will have accrued at a certain date (UltiPro did not do that, as I recall).
- It's very easy to use the "Who's Out Today?" feed link to put into your Outlook calendar and view who is out without logging into the browser.
Cons
- I would like the desktop directory widget to include if the employee is out or not. That would be a game changer.
- The files section could be more visually appealing, but it still does the job.
- Maybe a discussion board for the community? I don't know, just trying to add 3 points into this area.
- Since I am just a user of the software I actually don't know of any ROI, but as a user, I can tell you it's the best one I've used in all my jobs.
- At both my previous jobs I used UltiPro, and Workday was implemented before I left, which seemed OK but was still a bit funky with the hours.
- We have been using more and more BambooHR features over the last year, so I am guessing the HR team is very happy with it.
UltiPro, from what I remember, was clunky and always had an awkward calculation of my hours. I could not "project" how much PTO I would have when I wanted to take time off in the future. Also, I was planning my maternity leave with UltiPro, and I truly feel like the software made me miscalculate how much time off I would have and it caused me a LOT of problems when I had my first baby. It made my life financially very difficult.
Workday, I only used briefly before I left the company for the one I am in now. Interface-wise, it was great, very smooth and slick and attractive. I never felt very good about the hours though, but that might have been a migration issue from UltiPro.
