BambooHR is stable and sufficient

What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?
You are able to keep work epically agile at a moderate cost, stable 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with consistent HR workgroups, and a wonderful deck of possibilities that are customized for us. There are probably other applications out there that are of less use, but the surprising level of confidence that it instills in us when we are installing BAMBOO is the aspect of the program that I value the most.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect is that BambooHR is a very stable program in the HR team of my company ituniversal and this is essential since many times the backlog continues after normal business hours. Perhaps it is important to note that it does not cause me problems when entering from other laptops and Internet IPs and I am grateful for that, the implications of security barriers are minor in order to control access.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There is nothing in particular that I do not like; however, some editions and options are sluggish or do not work sometimes; yet, these issues can easily be fixed by making a phone call or sending an email to support.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I recommend to the bamboo work team that they continue along this path of development and constant updating and to the HR colleagues that they are encouraged to try it because it is a stable and complete program, it brings with it talent management, payroll, administration and everything necessary to meet objectives in this delicate department.
Pros
- Reliable
- Unique Features
- Effective Service
- Caring

Ideal for a cutting-edge HR division

What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?
Bamboo provides us with a talent treatment that is capable of generating a good prospect of employee retention, and it allows us to manage very well to old, new, and prospective employees. This is regardless of whether the new collaborator will come from the department of human resources, finance, or any other department.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
We are able to constantly evaluate new prospects, new charges, combine tasks, and the program essentially enables us to distribute the complex tasks of daily operations, and it has all the features that an HR director needs.
What do you dislike most about this product?
We have been able to schedule the odd video appointment with him to solve problems or give us some teaching according to a better use of the software since we train day by day with him, and I haven't found anything I dislike.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I believe that the cost is a bit high when income is obtained from many collaborators, the same amount is not invoiced every month and I recommend and suggest that lower value contingency measures be adopted for these scenarios.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
- Unique Features

What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?
Additionally, as we expand, their vast selection of prebuilt connectors enables us to further our business goals and maintain the interconnectedness of all our data. We are freeing ourselves up to concentrate on what matters most, developing our people, enhancing the employee engagement, and moving our business ahead by combining our HR tools with the BambooHR platform.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It's simple to build and use reports that are individually personalized. Everyone I interact with or deal with is incredibly polite and affable. The staff at BambooHR is excellent with clients. It is also very simple to put up and distribute forms for signing, and it is simple to locate official paperwork in employees' files once they have been finished. It's quite easy for folks to schedule time off and as well as managers to decline or accept.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Sincerely, the things I despise are really little. My biggest complaints usually revolve around the lack of customizing options. Overall, I wish their benefits module could be customized to meet Canadian needs rather than just being US-centric. We don't always had luck with the add-ons,
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Additionally, it is quite simple to rapidly pull other worker reports and email them to other persons while reporting while on vacation. It's fantastic to see that they pay attention to user feedback and are willing to frequently integrate new features because they have recently been producing a ton of new upgrades.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
