Overall Satisfaction with BambooHR

We use BambooHR for everything HR-related... time off request, sick days, company holiday scheduled, onboarding information, benefit guides, company policies, etc. It also announces company new hires, work anniversaries, birthdays, etc.

Pros

  • Time off requests.
  • New hire onboarding information.

Cons

  • We have unlimited PTO but it still don't understand why it will say you're OOO over the weekends.
  • Mobile app is decent.
  • It has made it easy to get the info you need in a timely manner.
  • Can easily see when different teams are on PTO, sick, etc.
It's an extremely easy interface to use
I have only reached out once and I heard back very quickly.
I have not used the Bamboo reporting functionality
  • Namely
BambooHR was the clear winner based on ease of use and functionality

Do you think BambooHR delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with BambooHR's feature set?

Yes

Did BambooHR live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of BambooHR go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy BambooHR again?

Yes

I think it's appropriate for companies that have remote offices and are growing quickly. An easy way for information to be shared across all offices. Not sure it's necessary for small teams but if it's in the budget, I'd recommend it.

Using BambooHR

1300 - ALL of our business units use BambooHR.
2 - I believe we have a few HR folks that manage BambooHR when it comes to updated the org chart, adding company holidays, etc.
  • Requesting PTO
  • Org Chart
  • Personal information
  • Using everyone's address to create a radius map to help define who's a fully remote worker and who's hybrid.
  • Not sure
As an end-user, I find the platform very easy to use.

Evaluating BambooHR and Competitors

Not Sure
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems

Ease of use is HUGE for us. The ability for it to work for all of our cross functional teams regardless of location was critical.
I wouldn't change anything
