The onboarding is a great experience to start at the company. It offers strong support and is easy to use! The integrated AI is also a great addition. Overall, the app is clear, user-friendly, and performs reliably all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What could be great is taking the onboarding to the next level by integrating more of our Outlook or Office pack into the website. It would also help to be able to view our team and where they are directly, rather than only seeing the whole office. It would add even more ROI if we could see if one our teammates is working from home or from out of state Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the best thing about it is the clean UI; it’s the cleanest I’ve seen on an HR portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While BambooHR is easy to use and has a clean interface, there are a few areas where I think it could improve.

The reporting tools feel fairly basic, and building custom reports isn’t as flexible as I’d like. Some workflows also take more manual effort than expected; stronger automation would help cut down time spent on repetitive tasks. I’ve also run into system limitations where customization is restricted, especially around approvals and certain HR processes.

Another drawback is that some useful features are only available as paid add-ons, which can push the overall cost higher. The mobile app works well for basic tasks, but it doesn’t include all the functionality available on the desktop version. Integrations with other systems could be smoother too, since syncing data occasionally requires manual follow-up. Finally, I’d love to see more advanced analytics and dashboards to provide better visibility into HR data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BambooHR has significantly streamlined the way our company documents work hours and tracks vacation time. One of its biggest strengths is its reliability as a centralized database, combined with a clean, intuitive interface that makes it easy to use. What I find most valuable is its flexibility and adaptability. It simplifies administrative processes and helps our team manage HR tasks more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area where BambooHR could be improved is the ability to edit requests more easily. I also find it inconvenient that every vacation request immediately sends an email notification to my supervisor. It would be helpful to have a draft option that allows employees to plan and adjust vacation requests before formally submitting them. A draft feature would make it much easier to organize time off without notifying a supervisor until the request is finalized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I definitely find the variety of reports valuable, especially since we are an international company. It gives me access to information on employees from our other divisions around the world, so I'm not completely in the dark when someone asks for information that I would be unable to access with our payroll platform. It's very valuable when I have to work with other divisions globally. I also find the layout easier to use, and there's more comprehensive information than just the standard payroll and HRIS systems. Additionally, despite not being present for the initial setup of BambooHR, I found it very easy and intuitive to use once I started working in my position. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly have nothing to add here! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like BambooHR's very open and aesthetically pleasing interface. I like the way that it allows me to focus on items that are important, while also giving important information to me such as who is currently not in the office today and introducing new employees. It allows HR to post important notices and links to important issues. I also really enjoy the leave accrual calculator, which many other similar products are missing. When I first used it, the onboarding process was very streamlined and efficient, as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main use of BambooHR for the end user is using it for leave, so the other advantages of it (information about other employees, and the directory) are useful, but there is some overlap with information you might receive from other channels (such as Teams or the like). I would probably enjoy more integrations to allow BambooHR to be a more central repository of information rather than a bunch of individual minor services. Otherwise, I have no major issues with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate being able to see all 315 employees at once, which is quite convenient. It's really nice to visualize the org chart and fill out forms quickly for my HR team. I like the ability to sign forms very quickly on BambooHR, which means I don't have to print them out. It's all in one place, and I can just press sign and move on with my day. The initial setup was very simple, making the transition smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it a little bit confusing on where to actually find things. For example, in the file section, I can't always find every single file that I've ever signed. That's probably the biggest difficulty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The core database is relatively stable for storing information once it’s actually in the system. The interface is basic but functional if you just need a simple digital filing cabinet for candidate records. The API integrations aren’t bad, and the day-off and vacation approval functions are useful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform feels outdated because it completely lacks modern AI features for screening, matching, or summarizing profiles. The biggest dealbreaker for us is the sourcing process: there’s no native integration, proper extension, or parsing tool to pull candidate data directly from LinkedIn. When our team finds a great candidate on LinkedIn, every single piece of their information has to be copy-pasted and entered into the database manually. That’s a massive waste of time and it seriously hurts our hiring efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is how everything I need is visible the moment I log in. I usually just check the dashboard to see who's out, any pending time-off requests, and general team updates. It saves me from asking around or checking multiple tools. It feels simple, but it actually makes daily HR-related checks much smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, I feel like I have to click around more than expected to find certain details. The dashboard is clean, but not everything is directly accessible from there. Also, I wish there were a bit more flexibility in customizing what shows up on the main screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to navigate, simple interface. I've never been unable to find something I'm looking for. I most often use the "time off" tab, and view the org chart. I have no complaints with either of those features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that I find difficult is accessing the company calendar. Right now I have to navigate to "Who's Out" and then click on a small button at the bottom that says "Full Calendar." I check the calendar not just for seeing who's out but also to find company holidays. I wish there was a more intuitive way to access it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For UI / UX: Highly praised for its clean, intuitive interface and ease of use, which enables both HR admins and employees to navigate the platform with little to no training. The native apps ensure a connected, seamless experience across all HR functions.

It also It provides a "Connected HR Ecosystem" with over 150 integrations and embedded partners, all managed through a single login and interface.

Also for the performance the platform automates key HR workflows, leading to strong ROI; customers report saving hundreds of hours and reducing HR costs by an average of 40%.

The Plans are modular and flexible for scaling businesses, starting at $10 USD per employee per month for the Core plan, with volume discounts available. The savings in time and labor contribute significantly to the return on investment.

The onboarding experience is noted as especially strong, with proactive tasks, customizable checklists, and compliance features like automated I-9 and E-Verify workflows. Dedicated customer support is offered in the higher-tier plans.
