- G2 reviewers report that BambooHR excels in overall user satisfaction, reflected in its significantly higher G2 Score compared to Rise. Users appreciate its user-friendly interface and seamless navigation, making it easy to manage team member information effectively.
- According to verified reviews, BambooHR's implementation process is praised for its speed and intuitiveness, with users highlighting the onboarding wizard that simplifies setup. In contrast, Rise users mention some challenges with setup, indicating it may not be as straightforward.
- Users say that BambooHR provides excellent support, with a consistent quality rating that matches its overall performance. Reviewers note that the platform keeps employees informed and engaged, while Rise users appreciate the availability of support articles and responsive customer service, though they may not find it as robust.
- Reviewers mention that BambooHR shines in its mobile accessibility, allowing users to manage HR tasks on the go. This is complemented by positive feedback on its mobile app design, which enhances the overall user experience. Rise, while also user-friendly, does not receive the same level of praise for its mobile capabilities.
