Overall Satisfaction with BambooHR

BambooHR has a ton of different features to solve common human resources tasks, like performance reviews and employee onboarding/off boarding. The platform is managed by our People Ops department, and they get by great without technical assistance. Every employee uses BambooHR to book their time off, view the org chart, etc.
  • The org chart is excellent, with multiple views and a responsive experience.
  • The ability to create alerts/reminders for employees is very powerful and can be used to automate many workflows.
  • It's a generally enjoyable web app to use with a clean UI and responsive performance.
  • Some edge cases aren't as fleshed out. For example, asset inventory management isn't something BambooHR can really excel at currently.
  • Something akin to Google Forms but with the privacy protections of being already in the HRIS would be great for collecting anonymized responses.
  • It's been a great force multiplier for our HR staff, supplementing their skills to allow them to focus on more complex tasks.
  • Employees enjoy using it and have to talk to HR staff less with the self-service options.
  • You may find as your organization grows that you outgrow a module or BambooHR and will replace with a dedicated solution.
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.

Would you buy BambooHR again?

Yes

I think BambooHR is an excellent product for companies from small to moderately large. It is easily manageable by a competent human resources department and provides robust functionality in the areas that you care most. Don't ask it to go too far out of it's lane, such as trying to implement your asset inventory via custom fields. Overall, an excellent product.
