Marketing and Special Projects Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User-Friendly and Better than ADP" April 23, 2026 5.0 My experience has been very pleasant overall, and when I saw my husband using it for his work too, I said it's awesome! Pros I like the look and feel of . At my past job, we used ADP, and it was always glitchy and felt very outdated. I like that I can see my payroll easily, and they have filters you can use to update it to your liking. The job posting feature is easy to use. I love being able to see when other people at my company are on vacation or not. We are a small company, and I do not know how much we pay for it, but it works for us. I know when we were big, it was a great way to see what everyone was up to, and it tracks birthdays and work anniversaries. It's super cool. Never used the customer service support, but I know our contractor does, and they said it's good. No complaints. They are definitely worth joining. Cons It's weird that it's set up by the company's domain, so if you do not know it, sometimes you have trouble logging in. For example, anywhere I do not have the link bookmarked. But, aside from that, they are great. Review Source RV Rakhi V. QA Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Bamboo HR Review after using it for 4 years" March 27, 2026 5.0 My experience has been positive. It’s reliable, easy to navigate, and does a great job of keeping HR information and processes organized in one place. While there are a few areas that could be smoother—especially around deeper reporting and reducing clicks—it’s still a solid tool for day-to-day HR needs. Pros It is clean and straightforward is for the basics—finding employee info, org details, and important documents is quick and not buried under too many menus. I also appreciate how it centralizes HR tasks (like time-off requests and approvals) so there’s less back-and-forth Cons Some areas feel a bit limited once you need more detail—like- reporting or pulling specific insights can require extra steps or doesn’t always give the exact view you want without workarounds. Also, the user experience can feel slightly inconsistent depending on the section you’re in, so a few workflows take more clicks than expected. Review Source KF Kyle F. Security Specialist Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love BambooHR" April 22, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with has been extremely positive. The platform delivers consistent value across all key areas—payroll is reliable and straightforward, communication tools help keep everyone aligned, and the job posting features make recruiting more efficient. Customer support has also been excellent whenever we’ve needed assistance; responses are timely, helpful, and knowledgeable. Overall, BambooHR has made managing HR processes much more efficient and organized, and I would highly recommend it to other organizations looking for a dependable, user-friendly HR solution. Pros What stands out most about is how well it balances functionality with simplicity. The platform is incredibly easy to use, even for team members who aren’t particularly tech-savvy and customer support is top notch when needed. Everything from onboarding to day-to-day HR tasks feels intuitive and streamlined. I also appreciate the strong value for money. Features like payroll processing, employee communication, and job posting are all seamlessly integrated, which saves time and reduces the need for multiple systems. Cons There are very few downsides in my experience. If I had to point out something, it would be that certain advanced customization options could be expanded, particularly for organizations with highly specific or complex HR workflows in the Nuclear Industry dealing with security clearances. However, this hasn’t significantly impacted our ability to use the platform effectively. Review Source SJ Sarah J. Information and Technology Specialist Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "BambooHR is Great!" April 20, 2026 5.0 Overall, I love . It has made submitting time sheets and time off requests sooooo much easier than our old time card system. Being able to track my projects as well as add collaborators has been a wonderful perk of the software. Pros is super easy to use. Being able to see all your PTO hours in one place makes tracking things very simple. I am also a huge fan of the Goals section where I can add projects and breakdowns of what benchmarks need hitting and when. I also like that I can tag colleagues when collaborating on projects so we all are on the same page. Cons For me, the limit of 10 item breakdowns per project goal sometimes cause an issue and I have to do multiple goals for the same projects because I run out of boxes. The phone app also bugs out occasionally and I will have to reload it before I can log in or out. Switched from [Odoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/135618/Odoo/) The version of the software we were using no longer worked well and did not have time clock integration. allowed us to get a better HR software as well as adding the time clock function Review Source Timothy C. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The "Single Source of Truth" for our Growing Agency" March 13, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with has been transformative, especially coming from a background of manual spreadsheets and fragmented PDFs. Transitioning to a unified platform has professionalized our internal operations and significantly reduced the administrative "ping-pong" that typically happens between HR and the rest of the team. In a fast-paced agency environment, having a "hired-to-retired" workflow that actually works is a massive relief. It has allowed us to scale our onboarding—sending out digital offer letters and new hire packets in minutes rather than hours—while keeping our employee data clean and compliant. While no software is perfect—the reporting engine can feel a bit rigid when you need hyper-specific, cross-tabular data—the trade-off for such an intuitive user interface is well worth it. It’s one of the few tools we use that requires almost zero training for new hires; they just "get it." Pros The interface is incredibly intuitive, requiring almost zero training for new hires. The "hired-to-retired" onboarding workflow is a massive time-saver, allowing us to send out digital offer letters and new hire packets in minutes. The mobile app is also a standout; our team actually uses it to request PTO and check the org chart, which keeps everyone connected in a hybrid environment, allowing us to better manage our small business. Customer support for the software has been minimal, as it does what it is supposed to do, but pleasant and easy when needed. The cost for this software seems well worth it, considering what is gained from it, and has significantly brought the business's HR costs down. Cons The reporting engine, while great for standard metrics like turnover and headcount, can feel a bit rigid if you need highly customized, cross-tabular data. Also, while the integrations are good, some advanced automation triggers (like specific notifications for custom fields) are more limited than I’d like.

It does the main HRIS job well and our team is actually using it, which was not the case with our previous system. Where it falls short is when you start needing more advanced functions, like complex payroll cases, custom reports, or real recruiting features. At that point you either pay for extra modules or build a workaround. Pros The thing I liked most is how quickly we managed to onboard the whole team. We were using spreadsheets and a messy Google Drive folder before, and in around two weeks everyone had their profile set up and was actually using the system. The interface doesn't look like a typical enterprise software, which is important because some of our employees only log in two or three times in a year. Time-off requests work very well. Employee submits, manager gets a notification, and that's it. No more chasing people on Slack to ask if they saw the email. Mobile app is also useful for this, since some of our team are not sitting at a desk all day. Cons Price is the main issue for me. They charge per employee per month, and it gets expensive quickly, especially when you start adding Payroll and Performance as separate modules. It feels like every feature I really needed was behind another paywall. For a small business, you should really calculate if the total cost makes sense compared to using few cheaper tools separately. Payroll itself is okay but not amazing. We had some problems with tax filings in the first quarter and reaching support on the phone took longer than expected. Support is mostly by email and the response time can be slow if your problem is not marked as urgent. Switched from [Lever](https://www.capterra.com/p/142452/Lever/) We were using Lever only for recruiting, but everything after hiring was still in spreadsheets. Employee records, PTO, onboarding documents, all in different places. We needed one central system for HR, not just hiring. was the right size for a small team and the price made more sense than going to a heavy enterprise tool. We still kept Lever for recruiting, but BambooHR is now our main HRIS. Review Source AC Amber C. Procurement Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All-In-One Solution" May 14, 2026 5.0 Our overall experience has been great. Previously, our hiring, time tracking, PTO tracking, benefit enrollments, and such were all done manually. Moving to has given us one place to do it all, and it's incredible the amount of time we've saved and how much positive feedback we've received from employees. Pros I love the ease of use for our employees. Seeing their time off, paychecks, their benefit enrollments, our ORG chart, and making announcements is easy. Onboarding/Hiring is streamlined, as well as posting job ads and reviewing resumes directly from makes business operations less stressful! Cons Setting up benefit open enrollment can be a little tricky, but overall is a great feature. Employees have mentioned they would like to be able to see their paystubs at least a day before they get paid. Alternatives considered [Rippling](https://www.capterra.com/p/172127/Rippling/) Reason for choosing BambooHR Rippling was more expensive and did not have the features we wanted at the time. Switched from [Autotask PSA](https://www.capterra.com/p/223239/Autotask-PSA/) It was clunky and not user friendly. We could only track PTO within and had to have a separate system for time tracking.

" April 16, 2026 5.0 Overall, this tool has been a valuable resource for our HR team. They have the ability to keep track of all aspects of an employee in one simple solution. Pros is one of the most simplified HRIS solutions out there. The value is spot on for what you get. Their customer support is always available and responsive. It can handle all things payroll, employee directory, job postings and onboarding, and document management. Cons Simple tool that doesn't offer much additional customization. While it does have a ton of great features, some folks would like to add their own touch to it. Alternatives considered [Paycom](https://www.capterra.com/p/130949/Paycom/)[UKG Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/480/UKG-Pro/) Reason for choosing BambooHR We chose it because it is so simple.

Data Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple, User-Friendly HR Platform with Room for Advanced Features" April 21, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with has been positive. It’s a reliable and easy-to-use platform that simplifies core HR tasks like employee data management, time-off tracking, and basic reporting. The interface is clean and intuitive, which makes adoption across teams straightforward. While there are some limitations around advanced reporting and customization, it works very well for day-to-day HR operations and helps improve overall efficiency. Pros What I liked most about is its intuitive and user-friendly interface. It makes managing employee data, tracking time off, and accessing reports very straightforward. The platform is well-organized, which reduces the learning curve, and the self-service features for employees help streamline HR processes without much manual effort. Cons One drawback of is that some advanced features and customizations are limited compared to more complex HR systems. Reporting can feel a bit restrictive for deeper analytics, and certain integrations require additional setup or third-party tools. Review Source MS Melissa S. Pharmacy Manager Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Keeps things running smoothly" April 21, 2026 5.0 Bamboo has been a great tool for our pharmacy in helping us to stay organized. It helps keep our payroll and schedule organized between all sites. Is also extremely helpful in organizing and prioritizing new applicants! Pros Like the ease of managing our schedule and payroll. Helps all employees to be on the same page and to keep things running smoothly between all our sites. Cons We find it hard sometimes to edit time off requests - usually have to cancel it and restart. Wish this could be done from the manager side. Switched from [Paylocity](https://www.capterra.com/p/86714/WebPay/) Had issues with their tax and payroll system Review Source Denis M. Recruiter Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Okay for basic HR, but terrible for recruiting with no AI functions and crashes too often" April 28, 2026 2.0 Very frustrating, honestly. I’m giving it 2 stars because the basic employee management side does function, but if recruiting is a major part of your day, look somewhere else. The lack of basic modern integrations like LinkedIn makes it feel like software from 10 years ago. Add the random server outages into the mix, and you get a tool that often creates more work instead of saving time Pros The basic features like time-off requests and the employee directory are fine. It keeps employee documents and personal info organized well enough once someone is actually hired and in the system Cons The recruitment module is awful. The biggest problem is that there is absolutely no integration with LinkedIn. Every single time I want to add a candidate, I have to manually type or copy-paste all their details and resume info into the system. When you're doing high-volume hiring, this wastes hours of my week. On top of that, the platform's reliability is bad. The whole service just crashes and goes down for a few hours at least a couple of times a month, leaving the HR team completely stuck. No AI functions in recruitment is a big disappointment nowadays Review Source SU Shatakshi U. Customer Support Specialist Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Platform " April 21, 2026 5.0 Pros The user interface is genuinely impressive, offering a seamless and intuitive experience from start to finish. Everything feels thoughtfully organized, making navigation effortless even for first-time users. The design is clean, visually appealing, and free from unnecessary clutter, which enhances usability. Each feature is clearly labeled and easy to understand, reducing any learning curve significantly. It’s evident that a lot of attention has been given to user experience, ensuring that interactions feel smooth and efficient. Overall, the UI stands out as both functional and engaging, making it a pleasure to use on a regular basis. Cons There are no real drawbacks to highlight, as everything works smoothly and the overall experience is very positive. The interface is easy to use, making it accessible even for those who are not very familiar with similar platforms. Navigation feels natural, and most features can be understood without much effort. While there are occasional moments when it feels a bit slow, they are infrequent and not significant enough to be considered a true downside. Overall, the performance remains reliable, and the ease of use combined with its functionality makes it a highly satisfying experience. Review Source BD Barrett D.

I haven't had any issues with the system; it doesn't crash, provide errors, nor freezes. Every document HR sends through BambooHR never has any issues and the layout is very simple and clean. Pros The main aspect I enjoy about is I can change my personal information so I don't have to contact HR; which saves time. Our HR also sends the monthly newsletter through BambooHR so it is nice to be updated on monthly events that occurred or will occur. It is also nice that the software tracks when you started with a company; so you never have to wonder when you started. Cons I can't think of a single aspect that I dislike about . The system has never crashed on me and the site is nicely organized. It probably took me less than 10 minutes to figure out the layout. Review Source HC Helton C. Técnico Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ótima recomendo" May 4, 2026 5.0 Minha experiência "digital" com o permite descrevê-lo como o "iPhone dos sistemas de RH": ele prioriza o design e a facilidade de uso acima de tudo, mas exige que você jogue dentro das regras do ecossistema dele. Se eu tivesse que resumir a experiência em três pilares, seriam estes: 1. O Foco na Experiência do Usuário (UX) O grande trunfo do BambooHR é que ele não se parece com um software de trabalho chato. A interface é limpa, as cores são suaves e os botões estão onde você espera que estejam. Para o Colaborador: A sensação é de autonomia. É muito gratificante poder ver quantos dias de férias você tem e solicitar o descanso em 30 segundos, sem precisar enviar três e-mails para o RH. Para o RH: Ele elimina o "ruído". Em vez de responder perguntas repetitivas sobre saldo de horas ou endereço, o RH consegue focar em cultura, porque o sistema cuida do básico. 2. A Transição de "Planilha" para "Sistema" A experiência de quem sai do Excel (ou de sistemas manuais) para o BambooHR é de um alívio imediato. A centralização de documentos e a automação do onboarding mudam o patamar de profissionalismo da empresa. É o sistema ideal para empresas que estão naquela fase de crescimento (entre 50 e 200 funcionários) onde o controle manual começa a gerar erros críticos. Pros O é frequentemente citado como um dos queridinhos das empresas de médio porte que buscam humanizar a gestão de pessoas sem a complexidade de sistemas corporativos "pesados". Aqui estão os pontos que mais se destacam e o que os usuários costumam amar na plataforma: 1. Interface Intuitiva (UX/UI) Diferente de muitos softwares de RH que parecem ter parado no tempo, o BambooHR tem um design limpo, moderno e fácil de navegar. Curva de aprendizado baixa: Novos colaboradores e gestores conseguem usar as funções básicas sem precisar de um manual de 50 páginas. Autoatendimento: O portal do funcionário é muito claro, permitindo que cada um atualize seus dados e peça folgas com poucos cliques. Cons Rigidez na Personalização O é focado na simplicidade, e o preço disso é a falta de flexibilidade. Campos Limitados: Se a sua empresa tem processos muito únicos ou complexos, você pode sentir falta de poder customizar fluxos de trabalho (workflows) mais detalhados. Relatórios Customizados: Embora os relatórios padrão sejam ótimos, criar um relatório do zero com cruzamentos de dados muito específicos pode ser um exercício de paciência. Review Source AH Alex H. Customer Service Manager Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A wonderful payroll tool overall, app is a bit buggy. Still 8/10!" May 12, 2026 5.0 Pretty good. A solid 8/10. It's more visually appealing than most of the other payroll apps and sites I've used, and offers more options than some. Pros It's very easy to use and makes it so I can access a lot of company-specific benefits like payroll, time off, insurance, and my 401K/retirement. Cons The app could use a little more bug fixes, I prefer using the desktop version as it usually has less issues. But customer support has been very helpful in their communication. Switched from [UKG Wallet](https://www.capterra.com/p/276816/UKG-Wallet/) My company decided to switch right after I got hired. I am unaware of the specific reason why. Review Source SS Suzi S.

It is easy to use Pros Very easy to navigate. The tabs make it easy to toggle between different subjects. I don't have to wonder where each item is located. Cons 2 step verification. It can be a little bit annoying to have to put in my email and password, then have to receive a text with a verification code. But, I am glad it is protected. Review Source AT Allyson T. Early Literacy Tutor E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to Use and Navigate" April 20, 2026 5.0 I have been using for the past few months with my current employer, and so far it has worked well for me. I have not run into any problems or issues when tracking my time sheets. Everything on the website is easy to use, learn, and navigate. I would highly recommend this system if you are looking for a way to manage your employee's payroll as a small business owner. Pros I like that it is easy to input your time into the system. If you make a mistake, it is also possible to go back and edit. The overall system makes it effortless for my employer to review and track the hours towards my payroll. If there are any notes that need to be added, there is a notes function that makes it possible to communicate any changes or updates to my time for the day. Cons So far I haven't encountered any negative aspects of using . Everything so far has been very straight forward and easy to understand. If there is a problem, however, I have faith that customer support would be able to help resolve the issue. Switched from [Salesforce Service Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/136189/Salesforce/) I switched from Salesforce because I switched the companies I worked for. Review Source JK Jarosław K. Director of Support Translation and Localization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good and reliable" October 1, 2025 3.0 If your business is just starting out or relatively small, Bamboo might be the best fit for you. It has everything it needs, but without any feature standing out. Pros Bamboo is an affordable option for companies needing an HR system with all the essential features. From the user's perspective, the UI and various functions are easy to understand, and for most day-to-day functions, you are just a click away. Cons The UI for Time Tracking is atrocious, but it used to be good. If you need to view the entirety of your tables, you cannot do that unless you engage in side scrolling. To edit records for a given day, you need to enter edit mode for a specific table and again scroll down to the selected day. The candidate hiring and processing is definitely a step up from pen and paper, but again, it's elementary and lacks what other tools may offer. Review Source CS Camren S.

The system is easy to use, and I can always remember how to do anything I'm shown. Pros Ease of use, Customer Support, Communication I love being able to communicate with our entire organization with the click of a button! Cons I don't have anything I don't like!

April 22, 2026 5.0 Overall, Bamboo has been a huge positive in my work. I have used it at various companies, and when I worked somewhere that did not use it I always wish we did. It makes my life so much easier and I'm glad my current company uses it! Pros It's very easy to use. I use it all the time to check who is out of the office, who is planning to be out, and when to celebrate work anniversaries and birthdays. I love the org chart function as it very quickly allows me to find a person and who they report to. In general, it's just so easy to use and makes keeping track of my time off and my colleagues easily. Cons Because we're a small business, we have a lot of contractors. It's a little harder to manage them because it's harder to get them into the software to track. It would be cool to see a feature that allows you to hook up your Bamboo with the contracting companies so the employee only has to use one platform, but both parties are able to see that info.

Cons Sometimes accessibility from other devices outside my desktop could be challenging. When I was a supervisor, I had a good experience with all the features the website offers.

It’s a reliable and user-friendly platform that saves time on everyday HR tasks and keeps information well organized. While it may not cover every advanced use case, it’s a solid choice for organizations looking for an efficient, easy-to-manage HR system. Customer support has generally been responsive, and the product feels stable and well-maintained. Pros is very easy to use and has a clean, intuitive interface. It works well for core HR needs like employee records, time-off tracking, and basic reporting. The system is straightforward enough that most staff can use it without training, and managers can quickly approve requests or look up employee information. It’s especially strong for small-to-medium teams that want a centralized, organized HR system without unnecessary complexity. Cons Some features feel limited or locked behind higher-priced tiers, particularly around advanced reporting and integrations. Customization options can be restrictive, and payroll features may not be robust enough depending on jurisdiction or organizational needs. For teams with more complex HR requirements, can feel a bit basic. Review Source KW Katy W. Sr. Director, Talent Management Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Bamboo is a Solid HRIS for Growing Organizations" September 4, 2025 4.0 Our usage of Bamboo was more as an overlay system - as a multi-national employer, we have multiple payroll systems which created challenges with reporting and data analytics. The Bamboo platform allowed us to aggregate our data and maintain a unified system for reporting. We do also use the Onboarding module which has definitely helped us streamline the onboarding experience for both the new hire and internal teams. Not having leverage the Payroll & Recruitment modules I can't weigh in, though we did obtain a quote for full-service payroll at one point which was extremely competitive and comprehensive. We didn't pursue it as we weren't ready to move our Payroll at that time, but it was a compelling option! I'd recommend Bamboo for small to midsized organizations that are looking for a platform that has the ability to integrate with a multitude of HR and non-HR platforms, has solid reporting and an overall good user experience. Pros The Bamboo platform is very intuitive and customizable. The availability of integrations enabled us to combine records from multiple payroll platforms so we had one unified system for reporting & analytics. The Bamboo support team is also top notch - super responsive and easy to reach. The cost of the platform is very competitive, though some recent changes were implemented that force you to purchase modules you may not need. Cons Based on our usage of the platform, there was very little we had issues with. Perhaps the one area that we had some challenges with was the Onboarding module and the way you're able to configure tasks. For example, there isn't an option to configure a task based on whether the role is a people manager role. In the reporting functionality, there is an option to filter for whether the person is a Supervisor (i.e. has direct reports). But this option doesn't carry over to Onboarding, so unless you build a task by Job Title and maintain that task, you have to manually add the task when the person being hired is going to be a Supervisor.

Review Source AP Andre P. cloud engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid and user-friendly HR tool!" May 9, 2026 4.0 strikes a strong balance between functionality and simplicity. It's not the most powerful HR platform on the market, but it's one of the most approachable, and it handles the core HR essentials reliably. For growing companies that want to move beyond spreadsheets without the complexity of an enterprise system, it's an excellent choice. I'd recommend it to any HR team looking for a clean, efficient, and employee-friendly platform. Pros The interface is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate—even for non-technical users. Onboarding new hires is streamlined with customizable workflows, e-signatures, and digital document storage, which has saved our team countless hours. The employee self-service portal is excellent; staff can request time off, update personal information, and access pay stubs without HR involvement. Reporting features are flexible, and the mobile app works smoothly for on-the-go approvals. Integrations with payroll, applicant tracking, and performance management tools are also a strong plus. Cons Pricing can feel steep for smaller teams, especially once you start adding premium modules like payroll or performance management. Customization options are somewhat limited compared to enterprise-level HRIS platforms, and the reporting tool, while flexible, has a learning curve for building complex custom reports. Customer support is generally responsive, but response times can lag during peak periods.
