BambooHR Verified Customer Reviews (2026)

We have been using Bamboo for a long time and I have not had an issue.
I like that it shows anniversaries and birthdays which helps remind me! Overall a great product I would recommend.

Secure login and easy to use from the employee side. Easy to find the information I need and quick feedback from my manager.

You can see a lot of company details and information which some might find a bit invasive. I have heard from the admin side that it works well but takes a bit to set up.

For an easy to use HR platform that provides everything you need we are very happy with BambooHR. We reviewed over 5 different platforms before we made our choice and the key reason why we chose BambooHR was over its easy of use.

We implemented BambooHR to manage all our HR needs including hiring and onboarding etc. It is now managed by our head of HR but I oversaw the initial implementation. The UI is very easy to navigate and the steps in the overall HR process follow a logical flow making it easy to onboard and get up and running.

Currently pricing is affordable for the size of our team but it was hard to get estimates of what our price might be in the future as we scale.

With BambooHR, it is possible to track and manage employees work performance in real-time. BambooHR is a reliable platform for talent acquisition and management. It has an intuitive and user-friendly interface making it simple to use and navigate.

It is possible to automate, streamline and manage the entire lifecycle of an employee from hiring to retirement. It a reliable tool for employees onboarding and recruiting. It is simple to track and manage employees time and attendance sheet with BambooHR. It is simple to get generate timely employees payrolls with BambooHR. It is a convenient tool for benefit administration.

The performance of BambooHR tends to be slow when running multiple activities at the same time.

Overall this is the ONLY HR product that I recommend. It's so much for then an HR tool, It has team building, is performance driven, it has all the "slack" type features for goals, training. BambooHR is a limit less product and the features just keep coming!

It documents EVERYTHING, and makes information now streamlined so that you and your team are always on the same page without question.

There are some things that I would love to see on BambooHR it's not exactly a con, just looking forward to a future where there are some more features.

If it comes to budget cuts this is not a product I would cut out. All our documents are saved within each employee and my filing cabinets are no longer bursting at the seams.

I love the ease of hiring and the access to posting positions on Indeed. The tracking of days off and vacation are so easy. Changing benefits and the ease of payroll access to Trax is great.

Wish there was more scheduling access built into BambooHR.

Using this product has been the best change to our HR Department! We stopped using paper leave slips to using this program, which our employees love, as well as the HR Department. The ease of use is wonderful as is the customer support. Get BambooHR! You absolutely won't regret it, and your company will love it.

I absolutely LOVE BambooHR. It has greatly simplified our HR, and enables the employees to see how much time they have available, holidays, co-worker's birthdays, etc.

There is honestly no cons to BambooHR. This is hands down the best HR platform out there!

Overall an easy to use platform that integrates easily with our 360 review tool and our ATS (Applicant Tracking System).

* Nice org chart views that are customizable
* Onboarding/offboarding automated tasks
* Integrates with Performance Pro for 360 reviews
* Easy to request time off

* Calendar doesn't integrate with Google Calendar or Slack

Not a terrible HR platform. It did good by us for the time that we used it until we outgrew it. Just didn't do as much as we wanted it to.

It was fairly easy to use and navigate and is great for a small company just starting out. Loved the ability to see everyone's workaversary.

Lack of content and extensions. We were unable to keep it since we were growing and needed more capabilities.

Great system to use, easy to use for all and great for companies of 1500 plus employees. If you have lots of staff and want a system that they can easily use without having to go to your HR team for too many questions, this system is perfect for that.

Easy to use and navigate. Simple for running reports and leaving notes or documents. Also the best thing about BambooHR is the quick response from the customer service team. If you want to share your opinion or ask a query the BambooHR team get back to you very quickly and almost always answer or resolve your issue.

If an admin or line manager edit name or place of folder it will do the same for every employee.

Overall, BambooHR not only has an incredible product, but also provides outstanding customer support for all of their clients.

So incredibly to use for both the user and administrator. The design and look is beautiful and catches the eye. Many features for small and medium companies to use, a great platform to use as an opportunity to step away from paperwork.

It is only built for small and medium companies, so if you are a big enterprise it wouldn't make sense for you to look into this platform.

Great experience. Bamboo HR is very responsive, very helpful and very willing to listen to suggestions and then implements them quickly, if possible.
I would highly recommend Bamboo HR because it truly frees you to do your best work!

If you have never used an HRIS, Bamboo HR will make you feel wonder why you didn't take the leap years ago. If you currently use an HRIS, you will find that Bamboo HR's platform makes is approachable for all employees across the company. You will have a dashboard that puts control in the hands of your employees, freeing you to develop your team and avoid time consuming manual paperwork tasks.

Bamboo has Marketplace 3rd party applications that tie into Bamboo, but unless it is tied in with two way communication you will still struggle with multiple vendors/websites to accomplish all the work you may want to do. Bamboo is working to incorporate more vertical features so they are directly connected into Bamboo. But if you use a program outside of Marketplace, then you will need to supply the programmers to ensure the coding works. Not impossible just make sure you are aware.

BambooHR has one of the best capabilities for storing and transporting employee data that we have had the opportunity to exploit. We liked that the service provides customization tools for reporting, so that we can basically apply self-service and the tracking work is automatic.

BambooHR shows very diverse dynamics in terms of human talent management, which gives us a wide variety of administrative operations of employees, such as the ability to make reports of multiple types of formats, or the possibility of sharing them through various external services, in case they are required in other departments.

BambooHR does not have sampling tools during the registration and attendance processes at the recruitment stages, so that the files of newly graduated employees never have enough information to avoid having to communicate with them again at the beginning of the first days.

It is the best human resources platform on the market right now thanks to its accurate implementation of data in the registry. We have been able to manage each payroll quickly and boldly and all our clients remain confident and confident that the work will be done quickly and excellently.

BambooHR has helped us with the smooth preparation of payroll for each of our employees without the need for any errors thanks to the implementation of ATS as it allows us to build a better strength in our team.

They should implement offline work with BambooHR as if we lose connection all the work is lost and we have to edit from scratch. We have also failed to implement the employee check in and check out resource as the remote connectivity fails.

In terms of tracking, it offers an acceptable usability, providing us with almost everything we need to carry out optimal processes of this type. In addition, it offers performance reports between employees and better attachments to improve time tracking. However, it is sometimes difficult to log in to the desktop version.

It is more than acceptable that with BambooHR you can delegate from two to five different employees for certain data changes within your workflow. You can customize access permissions on the collaborators involved to regulate the amount of data management and data access.

The listing in the employee directory does not allow for more information to be added. Also in Standard use its management and administration process does not have enough customization tools in the relevant information of our workflow. Other than that there is nothing else to say against the platform.

I have used BambooHR for 3 years to manage our team. I have been able to organize all employee documents securely and easily with this software. As our team continues to grow, I feel confident that BambooHR will be able to support and scale with our team.

Easy to use interface that can be used on mobile or desktop.
Ability for your employees to see all their documents via the mobile app.
Pricing is very reasonable for all the BambooHR gives you.
Able to manage your entire team without having to hire an HR pprofessional.
Signing certificates for digital forms can be done via Mobil, so no need for hard copies.

All your data is stored on their servers. If you leave BambooHR or they lose their servers, your data is gone unless you have hard copies of your documents.

There are few human talent management services that allow workflows created in other services, and that also do not lose structure quality. BambooHR is better for working in conjunction with other human resources representatives, and for all of them to centralize information from different branches in a single source.

When using BambooHR you get a subscription to a newsletter that announces future changes and updates to the platform, which is generally kept up to date. BambooHR supports a variety of document sheet formats, and also has its own self-service operations reporting system.

There are many limitations in the ease with which BambooHR allows for altering outside of the default level of document accessibility, which is generally managed across multiple levels. The applicant tracking tool does not provide enough automated information about applicants who are applying to the company.

BambooHR is a human resource management platform that we can use to simplify employee management and perform various functions, such as salary management, applicant tracking system and personnel management. This platform has helped us automate the human resources function, which allows us to stay motivated. It helps us capture and securely store employee records and easily manage our workflow, which helps us create a balanced on-call for work shifts.

We maintain your own records (whether submitted or uploaded by the company); track vacation time, sick time and work hours earned; at the same time, allow users to easily sign documents electronically; and simplify the HR manager's job. I mean, create records (employees or temporary employees) and make sure all blocks are verified (background, drug test documentation completed correctly and any other documents that need to be signed) within the time before starting work.

I must create a document stating that my agency employees must ensure that they are removed and that they are responsible for any risk of injury, and that the company and employee agencies are not responsible for any damages that may be caused. The rest of the staffing organization does not need this document, so I still have to print 50 copies, have each employee sign one, then upload it, file it in the employee file in the software, label it, and return the copy to the employees. This really isn't a problem, unless turnover is high, which can be annoying.

This platform is amazing, it has allowed us to fit into an unimaginable scenario. Our main goal with BambooHR is to bring automation in the human resources area which leads us to guarantee all the work and peace of mind for our employees that their payrolls are in the best hands. It has helped us to store all of our employee records in a fast, secure and automated way so that we can securely manage all of the workflows that they allow us to do. We also improved our employees' trust in our company with this software.

This platform has adapted well to our employee system, it is a huge step forward for our company and also allowed us to integrate into a sub SME company we have. It has also allowed us to manage all our employees in a fast, easy and intuitive way. It has ensured that we have a high efficiency for each user that we register and that uses the platform itself. It has also improved our processes in the human resources area.

It loses a lot of online connection when we have a connection that fails, which sometimes reduces our use and we have to wait for everything to normalize. It should have an integrated option for offline use when we do not have access to the network and when we have access to be able to save the changes. It also needs a version for mobile devices.

Based on the fact that the platform automates the viewing of employee data for more talented employees, it shows that BambooHR, while not being unbiased, highlights the options with which it could thrive more in certain positions and situations, which is more useful when needing to fill staffing gaps or urgent labor needs

With BambooHR the results obtained from applying HR department's own techniques in web reports have been very favorable. BambooHR prioritizes shortcuts to those employees or job candidates who show the best potential during probationary periods, starting from the time of the interview

BambooHR does not have a good overlay to other services that also focus on working with human talent, forcing us to manually copy information from one service to another when we use the others to get analytics from these. This is done so that file formats from the other software are not altered when they arrive in BambooHR

Managing lists of candidates and contacting them in a short time is one of the great capabilities that BambooHR has to offer. We like the software for the facilities it offers in terms of communication with candidates, and for being able to establish different delegates in case of not being able to fulfill all the operations.

Regarding the application of ATS oriented functions, i.e. applicant tracking, BambooHR has changed our way of perceiving and orienting ourselves within each candidate's organization, so that we can manage them much better depending on the work area we want to focus on (in case we work separating areas).

BambooHR does not present many improvements in terms of administrative management of human resources if we contrast it with other services in its category, and it is due to this lack of innovation that we can not comply with monitoring and performance management processes that we can carry out within other platforms.
