Overall Satisfaction with BambooHR®

Prior to moving to BambooHR®, we were using a collection of File shares, spreadsheets and none of it was well maintained, updated or accessible to the correct levels. We now use it for all hiring/termination documents, background check, contact data, emergency contact data, pay tracking, employee timekeeping, employee feed back and company policy access. There is probably even more items I am not currently listing.

Pros

  • Clean design
  • Very easy to use
  • Good support

Cons

  • Feature improvement always includes additional charges
  • Some fields/ areas are a little to shallow
  • Would like more depth to augment or add fields.
  • Single Source of Truth for information related to HR
  • Much better access to data at all staff levels
  • Easy access and more efficient onboarding/offboarding
It is quite easy and intuitive to use however, I do think some features lack depth and configurability.
Support has been quite prompt for emailed issues, however I would expect there to be phone support.
Much better data access and use for all levels of management and HR. Much more able to gain insight from data points not just assumptions. I expect this to grow further as our headcount also grows.
