It improved organization, reduced manual work, and made communication between HR, managers, and employees much smoother. It works especially well for day-to-day people management, leave requests, and maintaining employee information. It is a reliable system that helps create better structure and saves time across the company. Pros BambooHR is very easy to use and helps keep all HR processes in one place. The interface is clean and intuitive, so both managers and employees can work with it without unnecessary confusion. I especially like the time-off management, employee records, and overall visibility of team information. It saves a lot of time compared to handling everything manually in spreadsheets or emails. Notifications and approvals are also simple and efficient. Cons Some advanced reporting options could be more flexible, especially when trying to customize reports for specific management needs. Occasionally, certain settings feel a bit limited if your company has more specific internal processes. Pricing can also be a bit high for smaller teams depending on which features are needed. Review Source CM Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Best UI for your team!" August 6, 2026 4.0 Excellent, from pay to ease of use to management. It's wonderful. With a few touch-ups to the app, I feel like BambooHR could and would solidify itself and the best platform for businesses. Pros It keeps everything in one place, and it's so user-friendly and easy to use. Being able to customize the homepage and have all of my necessities right there in front of me was a huge plus. Cons The app can take a bit to load sometimes, but other than that, I haven't run into any issues. I will say that I wish the app showed as much as the web version as well but that's no biggie. Review Source President and Owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great Bamboo Experience" September 27, 2026 5.0 We have used it for about 5 years, and have really enjoyed the experience. They add to their platform regularly and really do a good job of communication about changes. Pros We love the PTO visibility, which allows managers to ensure their teams are fully staffed when someone needs to take time off. We love AskBamboo, which allows a knowledge base of our employee manual and other documents specific to our business that allow employees to ask questions about and get immediate answers. We love the dynamic org chart as well. Cons You have to build it out correctly, which is boring work at first but very important for future build outs. Review Source Foreman Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Best product" May 15, 2026 5.0 A definite must have for all businesses. Another great feature is that there are no pop up ads. Managing employee documents and having a folder to keep them safe is always a priority Pros Ease of use. The website is so bright and easy to navigate. Keeps all administrative documents, trainings and company networking safe and secure. Cons I haven't run into any cons really. But if I had to nit pick, maybe a "last login" log to keep track of when I used it last. Or maybe they do have it and I'm just not seeing it. Maybe some tools to use within the program like excel, or resume builder. Review Source Managing Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "A Solid HR Platform with Room for Growth" June 22, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with BambooHR was positive. It streamlined many of our HR processes, and once we got used to some of the advanced features, it became a real time-saver. Pros What I liked most about BambooHR was its intuitive interface—it's really easy to navigate. I also loved the employee self-service features, which gave our team more autonomy. Plus, the reporting tools are super customizable. Cons What I liked least was that some advanced features, like custom workflows, could be a bit clunky to set up. Also, support response times sometimes lagged, which was frustrating when we needed help quickly. Alternatives considered [Zoho CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/155928/Zoho-CRM/)[Gusto](https://www.capterra.com/p/131882/Gusto/) Reasons for choosing BambooHR Best Fit overall considering all aspects of it, this was a guarentee. Review Source Technical Support Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Simple but powerful." May 15, 2026 5.0 In general it has been very intuitive to use, as employee but as manager too. Easy to find the requests and pending approvals. Pros It easy access by login with SSO authentication. Distribution of menus facilitates to find the right option when needed. Quick access shortcuts and mini reports (for pending vacations) are super. Cons Report for consumed days (vacations, sick, PTO) are hard to read when listed in table and make it difficult to validate when listed. Switched from [SIGMA-RH](https://www.capterra.com/p/195354/SIGMA-RH/) Company standard changed after a merger. Review Source Dorle L. Global Payroll Administrator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great UI but Reporting Needs Work" April 21, 2026 4.0 Overall my experience is good and I do like BHR, but I do wish the reporting was more customizable and better suited for accounting and audit purposes Pros I like the UI and how employee data is displayed and organized. I also really like that we can make our own employee onboarding forms directly in BHR and that employee's are able to upload files. Cons Reporting needs some work. As the payroll administrator, I need a lot of custom reports from prior dates and I struggle pulling data from very specific dates Review Source Ursula F. People and Culture Generalist Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "BambooHR is great!" September 27, 2026 4.0 Overall, BambooHR is a great HRIS system. I'd recommend it to colleagues looking for an HRIS. If I run into an issue, I know that I can always reach out to their customer service team. Pros I like BambooHR's ease of use and the ability to customize leave types and reports. This is especially helpful if you operate in more than one region. The customer service is outstanding and always very helpful. Cons I would like more controls when setting up training courses. I'd like to be able to set it and forget it. I would also like to see future time-off requests when approving leave. Review Source HR Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Would recommend if you want a system that is easy to use" September 29, 2026 5.0 Positive, have never had an issue. I was concerned about being over charged one time and they corrected it. Honest company. Pros Whenever I have had an issue their support, mainly the virtual chat, has been amazing. Very quick, which is always nice. Cons I wish there was more customization, like people reporting to multiple managers, more compensation tiers, training automatically updating when a new one is added... Review Source Jessica V. Data validation Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Streamlined Employee Management with an Unbeatable User Experience" July 27, 2026 4.0 Overall, BambooHR has been a game-changer for eliminating spreadsheet clutter and manual HR paperwork. It provides a modern, professional, and organized hub for employee profiles, onboarding, and leave management. It significantly reduces administrative overhead and makes life much easier for both administrators and employees day-to-day. Pros The centralized employee database and self-service features are fantastic. It makes tracking employee profiles, job history, and personal details completely seamless. Employees can easily update their own information and request time off without constantly having to ping HR. The clean, intuitive interface makes onboarding painless and keeps all company documentation organized in one accessible place. Cons While the core HR features are excellent, advanced reporting and deeper customization options can feel a bit limited for growing or complex organizational needs. Review Source Jason E. Director of Technology Initiatives Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "BambooHR, great for interdepartmental agility" October 5, 2026 5.0 I have greatly enjoyed our time on BambooHR and consider it one of our pillar systems at our company. It has helped us interdepartmentally even more than ever. Pros Ease of use, the system could not be any easier to use from the modern interface to the customization that is available. The API is a wonderful tool that we leverage heavily for integrations into our other systems, including payroll. The value we get for the cost is perfect for our size. Communication of onboardings and offboardings has really helped our team be more effective. Cons The only con so far has been the applicant tracking system. We opted to keep our job posting in our existing ATS at this time. Switched from [Paycom](https://www.capterra.com/p/130949/Paycom/) Price and ease of use were the main considerations for switching HRIS. Review Source Karina Alejandra L. Accountant Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Love BambooHR" April 22, 2026 5.0 I love BambooHR, and I've recommended it to a few clients. The support team is excellent and replies very fast. Pros All information related to employees, including payroll, benefits, assets, and training, can be found in one place. Cons I don't like that sometimes it is not very intuitive when it comes to changing employees' information; it feels like you have to make different steps to have the information to show up in payroll, and I sometimes have to reach out to support for that. Switched from [Gusto](https://www.capterra.com/p/131882/Gusto/) We needed to manage all the information in one place. Review Source Franchise Services Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Easy to use! " May 18, 2026 5.0 Pros We’ve had a great experience using BambooHR. The platform is user-friendly, keeps everything organized, and makes managing employee information, onboarding, and time-off requests so much easier. Their customer support has also been responsive and helpful whenever we’ve needed assistance. Cons One thing I like least about BambooHR is that some features can feel limited when it comes to customization and reporting. While the platform is very easy to use overall, there are times when I wish there were more advanced options for creating detailed reports or tailoring workflows to fit specific business needs. Review Source Payroll Supervisor Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great app. Love it" August 11, 2026 5.0 Helps me schedule days off and keep record of what I have available. It is a great asset to have and love it Pros Good product. Is a great tool to help myself and my employer with scheduling days off and seeing whats available. Cons Nothing. Bamboo is very helpful. It has been a great tool for myself and employer. I wouldnt change anything. Review Source Administrative Assistant Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "A Powerhouse for Small Businesses, Though Pricing and Payroll Require Consideration" July 28, 2026 4.0 BambooHR is a powerful, user-friendly platform that centralizes employee data and automates daily tasks. It significantly reduces administrative overhead, though pricing and add-on structures require careful budgeting. Pros Incredibly user-friendly self-service portal. New hire paperwork, e-signatures, and welcome checklists are automated, cutting onboarding time in half. Cons Pricing can become prohibitive for smaller teams, especially when adding advanced features or robust payroll modules. Review Source MP Megan P. Director of Forensics Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "5/15 BambooHR Review" May 18, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with BambooHR is positive. I have used it for probably about 4 years now and I really like it. Pros I love the time tracking element of BambooHR, it makes it really easy to keep up with. I also have used BambooHR to hire several employees and I really like the ability to manage and communicate a higher number of applicants. Cons There's not anything bad I have to say about BambooHR. A feature I think they could work on though is integration of calendars. So, it would be great if it would automatically put on our Microsoft Teams calendar when we are on vacation or out on sick leave, etc. Review Source Billing co-ordinator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "User friendly" April 22, 2026 4.0 Bamboo HR gives very good platform for the recognition and communication other than just payroll. It shows different tabs showing the performance, training, personal details, job related updates. Pros I like the features where we have employee recognitions and new employee introduction. I like the different tab like personal, job related details, time off screen, i like the online training. Cons I think the format/ look of the Bamboo HR is little outdated. It seems as if its old fashioned. i would like to same details with different format. Review Source Mark S. Human Resources Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Easy to use and set up." February 27, 2026 4.0 It has been a good experience overall, they keep raising the pricing which doesn't make sense. But for now we are okay using it. Pros I like that it is very user friendly. I feel like as far as HRIS tools it is incredibly easy to set up and start using. The document signing is very handy and easy to use as well. Cons BambooHR has the bare bones when it comes to integrations. Its a great product but unless you are using their preferred software partners your toast. Otherwise you are rocking a CSV import. Alternatives considered [Arcoro](https://www.capterra.com/p/82529/arcoro/) Reasons for choosing BambooHR Price and ease of use was our main consideration. Review Source HR Generalist Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Amazing HRIS " September 29, 2026 5.0 Amazing product with most HRIS needs solved in one go! Love the interface for hiring, onboarding, candidate and pipeline management especially! Pros Interface, automated candidate update emails, and the ability to customize based on the specific needs of the business and company. I do also love that the Customer Support team is very responsive and usually takes care of most complex queries in a very time sensitive manner! Cons Updates to the system that are not needed, and they also feel so sudden. I hate that the task bar moved to the bottom left, including the setting icon. Review Source Executive Administrative Assitant Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Happz Customer" May 15, 2026 5.0 My experience with BambooHR has been great! I highly recommend it to anyone that needs a one stop shop for HR. Pros BambooHR is extremely easy to use. Our employees are able to find information quickly and training new employees is simple since the system is simple. Cons What I like the least about BambooHR is when you input an employee you cannot add everything at once. You have to save them and then go back into their profile to save documents. Review Source Front Office Secretary Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "I love it! " May 15, 2026 5.0 I use Bamboo HR to take time off and keep track of what I have used. I use it for employee information, Birthdays lists, reports about Days off people have taken, a quick place for company links and so much more! Pros I'm a front office secretary at a school and I use bamboo HR all the time! I love the functionality and the easy to use interface. Cons I really like everything about it. I don't have any cons. The only think I would like is if you added a clock in and clock out feature. The other app we use is not user friendly at all and I know if you had it on your website, it would be awesome! Review Source Directrice magasin Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "En résume, facile à utiliser " March 6, 2026 5.0 Nous utilisions avant un système RH dépassé avec une interface compliquée, tout le contraire de BambooHR. Pros Ce que j’aime le plus chez bamboo c’est que tout est facile : Facile à utiliser, des fonctionnalités faciles à prendre en main et son tableau de bord. Cons Il est vrai que BambooHR est très facile à prendre en main, mais l’intégration à certaines applications n'est pas aussi facile que d’autres. À HubSpot et Slack, c’est compliqué par rapport à la suite Microsoft. Switched from [Sage 100](https://www.capterra.com/p/227232/Sage-100cloud/) Bamboo est plus facile, plus claire. Certes certaines intégrations ne sont simple mais c'est le mieux qu'on aurait pu choisir. Review Source DevSecOps Engineer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Good value platform" May 19, 2026 5.0 Overall, the value for money is excellent for growing companies. It consolidates our HR tech stack into one platform, making daily operations smoother, keeping employees engaged, and significantly improving our internal workflows. Pros For small business management, BambooHR has been an absolute lifesaver. The ease of use is phenomenal, allowing our team to manage employee records, time off, and internal communication seamlessly without needing a dedicated HR IT specialist. Cons While customer support is generally very helpful and polite, there have been times when response times during busy payroll processing days were a bit slow. We'd love to see faster turnaround times for urgent inquiries. Review Source Team Lead Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Worth the price" May 15, 2026 5.0 Great software. Highly recommend using this software. One of the best to manage a team effectively through each day. Worth the price a value for your money and has great support for all questions. Pros Onboarding seamlessly. Being able to view resumes, job postings, once onboarded able to view all info well. Combine with good communication as well as ease of use and running payroll well. Cons Lack of GPS tracking, wish it had more visibility on a few screens to go more indepth on a few items Review Source Rajesh G. Operations manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "The HR Software That’s Great—But Not for Everyone" December 4, 2025 4.0 Pros It has a side panel and a top panel. Side panel has a home page, my info, info about the team members and files. On top is inbox, resources and settings. Home page gives a nice overview for the company. Also one can visually see the hierarchy in an org chart. Cons The scope of this tool is limited in this day and age. It seems outdated. Limited customisation eg for organisations with multi-entity Switched from [Personio](https://www.capterra.com/p/158622/Personio/) It was not able to address our multiple entity requirement, especially for USA. Also it was clunky ( at least then ) Review Source ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
