BambooHR vs PurelyHR: Which is a better fit?

Kurt: My name is Kurt. I am the Chief People Officer with Louisville Paving and Construction and we are 554 active team members. I would definitely give BambooHR a number five rating. Prior to implementing BambooHR, less than a year ago, we had a whole hodgepodge of systems and just a myriad of Excel spreadsheets. We are obviously very pleased to be a company that has grown very quickly. Just less than three years ago, we had less than 300 people. Right now, we're hoping to top 600 people. So we grew very quickly and really found ourselves in a position of really struggling with how to organize our information in one location. So we obviously chose BambooHR. It was clearly the right decision for us as it was easy to implement and so we're quite pleased with that. We chose BambooHR, one is because obviously it's an industry recognized brand, it's also scalable, so it was the right size for us. It wasn't too big, it wasn't too small. It fit perfectly within our needs. The implementation process was something that was going to be critical to us because we were also in the process of implementing an ERP parallel to this. So while the two systems eventually did integrate through an API, we were looking for ease of implementation. Obviously a good reputation, which BambooHR does have and then also from a cost standpoint, we wanted to make sure that this was something that also fit within our budget. I've been in this industry, it'll be 35 years this month, and this was by far the easiest implementation and hopefully the last implementation I will do from an HRIS perspective. I think from beginning to end, with respect to the implementation and talking to the sales rep who then handed us off to a more than capable project manager, we were about five weeks from very beginning to very end, getting more than 500 people up and running on the BambooHR platform. For anyone that's considering BambooHR, I think it's really a strong recommendation. Again, similar to the process that we went through, make sure that it's the right size for your needs. Obviously, make sure that the cost fits within your budget. I do like the fact that you're not locked into a long-term contract, which gives you flexibility. But above and beyond, I will tell you that not only was the implementation seamless, it's obviously well worth the cost that we spend for it. The support that we get from BambooHR is top-notch. I've never received such a high level of support, responsiveness and creativity from any of their support associates like I have with BambooHR. Highly recommend them.

Jeanette: Hi, I'm Jeanette. I'm an executive director. And I give PurelyHR a four out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. We actually switched from Zenefits before we moved to PurelyHR, and we found Zenefits, it did its job, but it was very complicated. It was not user-friendly. It was hard for my I staff to input their own information. And we found that Purely really does a better job at that. Well, we chose Purely because it was user-friendly. It allowed each and every user to be sure to be able to enter their own information. So we didn't have to have a dedicated HR manager to enter every single detail. And it does allow us to be sure that users get their vacation, count it on time every year, and their banked time can be added up properly. And we really appreciate the being able to schedule it that way. Purely what's pretty easy to onboard. It's got ways that we can let everybody set up their own information. They did provide help setting up our company standards and the way that we add up our time off every year. They did provide help to do that for us because we found it a little complicated, but they logged into the computer and did it for us, so that was just much easier. I think if you want a program that's going to be easy for everyone to operate, your HR personnel and the individual employee who needs to be able to see how much time they have left and put in for their time off easily on their own time, I think purely is a great option.
