Overall Satisfaction with BambooHR®

BambooHR® is the main HRIS for our company. We process all onboarding, off boarding, payroll, performance reviews, ect through the system.

Pros

  • Beautiful Interface
  • Great Employee Interface
  • Continually adding new features

Cons

  • Basics DO NOT WORK
  • Customer Service is lacking
  • Response time when big issues arrise
  • Streamlines payroll
The interface is beautiful and the employee interface is easy to use and intuitive. The issues come into play on the admin side of the system.
Customer service is lacking. You often know more than the "support heros" and when things are sent to "specilists" you almost never hear back. The specilist team is the black hole of BAmbooHR
Some reports are great. You are able to build custom reports that end to work well. However, not all fields of the custom reports builder pull data, ever or correctly.

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 believe BambooHR®is great for small-mid sized companies. When you get more than 250ish the issues in the basics of the system become glaringly clear. They have phenomenal features that I'm not able to utilize because I spend the majority of my time finding work arounds for the "basics" issues that pop up continually.
