Interactive and easy to use UI, color scheme is friendly and great support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly my biggest gripe is the mobile app. I'll try to check my PTO balance or pull up a doc on my phone and it's just clunky, so I end up waiting until I'm back at my laptop. Navigation on desktop isn't perfect either. I still have to click around sometimes to find stuff like benefits info or old reviews. Notifications are easy to miss too, and I've definitely had a request sit there longer than it should have because I didn't see it. When I started, onboarding threw a bunch of tasks at me all at once with no real sense of what mattered first. Not a dealbreaker, just a little overwhelming. If they cleaned up the app and made notifications harder to miss, I'd have way less to complain about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to have company information in one place. I often look up coworker's birthdays, work anniversaries, and who's out. I think Bamboo runs smoothly and is relatively easy to navigate. I haven't had much experience with onboarding or AI tools, but I haven't really needed them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the connectivity of BambooHR to other platforms is lacking. Our company uses a few programs to track time entry, and if Bamboo could connect to programs like BigTime, it would greatly reduce the amount of spreadsheets employees have to track their own data. Additionally, there have been some issues with time off entering and having Bamboo randomly add or duplicate hours because it believes they have been accrued when that isn't the case. It might be user error, but I am not an admin and therefore cannot confirm if it's bamboo or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about BambooHR is how seamlessly it centralizes the entire employee lifecycle into an intuitive, high-ROI platform: the clean UI and self-service mobile app require zero training for employees to manage PTO or sign documents; the pre-built integrations with tools like Slack and Google Workspace eliminate manual double data entry; the rock-solid performance management module replaces tedious annual appraisals with continuous 6-month check-ins; structured onboarding workflows save our admin team 5–8 hours weekly; and built-in AI features like the natural-language Report Assistant make surfacing critical workforce analytics completely effortless.

What I dislike most about BambooHR is that its flexibility drops significantly as organizational complexity increases. The quote-based pricing model gets expensive once you stack essential add-ons like ATS, time tracking, and payroll. Additionally, native customization has limits—matrix reporting, multi-currency benefits, and billable project time tracking aren't natively supported. The performance module and recruiting tools feel too lightweight for scaling teams, and while built-in AI tools handle basic reporting prompts, they lack deeper predictive analytics.

Everything is well organised, and I really like the UI/UX and it also has bamboo HR ai assistance which helps in resolving the queries. The onboriding is very easy for this tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The sections could be more accessible. For example, a few key things from my personal profile—like goals and achievements—should be visible quickly, while the other sections can stay inside the tabs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how clean and simple BambooHR is, making it really easy to do everything I need. With just four sub-tabs, I can easily access company holidays, links, documents, and new team members. Requesting time off is straightforward, only requiring a few clicks. I enjoy the feature that lets me easily view different policies and company values across locations like the UK, US, and Canada. I also appreciate the organizational chart, which helps me quickly find and connect with the right people for various tasks. The directory search is great for getting contact details and checking who's currently with the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like the sidebar options are quite limited, with just my information, people, and files. It would be nice to add things like holidays or notifications for birthdays, which could be sent out as weekly emails to build camaraderie. The UI also seems a bit rudimentary at times and could use some zhuzh to give it more spice, though I'm unsure if that's due to my company's setup. Additionally, when setting metrics within the performance tab, it's hard to clearly mark whether a goal was attained or missed because you can only mark it as 100% complete, which doesn't mean the target was actually hit. It would be helpful to have an "attained" or "missed" button for each goal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BambooHr is a very nice product when it comes to payroll and approving staff leave, and it clearly shows how much leave each team member has left. We can also see all approved leave and any pending requests. It helps managers keep track of things smoothly, and we can view our promotion slips as well as any policy-change documents we’ve signed.

Overall, the usability is good, although having custom themes would be great. I tried using the API, but it seems to require admin rights only. Performance-wise, it’s fast. The AI is also good; I use the Slack bot, and it answers questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you offered a custom UI design option or a built-in UI builder, that would be great. I’d also like an API that any authenticated user can use, so we can consume data (like leaves, etc.) and do calculations in our apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have worked at my job for seven years now, and I’ve used Bamboohr each year. Pay stubs, taxes, and certifications are all easy to retrieve when I need them. The UI is straightforward and intuitive to navigate.

My organization uses integrations with Microsoft 365, QuickBooks Online, Salesforce, and Webex, and they’ve fit well into our workflow. Performance on both mobile and web is excellent. The ROI is strong because we can consolidate functions into one experience.

The AI assistant is convenient in the top right, and you can ask questions related to your user. Support has also been great, and we’ve recommended the platform to some of our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d like to see the 1-on-1 implementation developed a bit further, specifically the ability to schedule quarterly meetings and integrate them with Microsoft 365 so the meetings show up on our calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use to clock in and out most of the time. Nice interface and graphics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Phone app logs out often which is difficult especially when you need to clock out on time. This has happened after I clock in at the beginning of the day. If it is for security reasons, this logging out should only be before you can clock in, not after already clocking in. Sometimes after clocking in, if I don't wait and make sure the system has completed the action, it turns out I haven't clock in and then I need to email my manager to manually change my clock in time. My organization would like for us to clock in or out with a note if a mistake has been made. I know how to clock in with a note, but not to clock out with a note. Either there isn't one or it is not easy to find. If there isn't one, I recommend having that feature. I have looked in the mobile app and also the online version.

The user interface is extremely friendly. Employees enjoy how intuitive it is for onboarding, time off requests and holiday calendars. There isn't much of a learning curve, which is great for newer employees. We love the new AI features of getting questions answered on the spot, that's been a wonderful addition. The performance management tool is also very easy to set up and use and we love that you can see the historical data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much, if I am being honest. But, if you are going to make me say a few things, I would say the report functions could be better. A lot of requests for reports from our Senior Leadership for more robust reporting. I find the reporting is lacking. I also wish I had a dedicated person that would support our team- we don't feel like we know anyone there who knows us. Pricing could be more competitive- it's gone up over the years and it would be nice to have a loyalty discount. We are bombarded by other companies trying to get our payroll and we've stuck it out with Bamboo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BambooHR has been a great platform to use. It’s easy to navigate, user-friendly, and it keeps important employee information organized in one place. I really appreciate how straightforward it is to access documents, review information, complete required tasks, and stay on top of HR-related items without having to dig through multiple systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There really isn’t much that I dislike about BambooHR. If I had to point out one area for improvement, it would be that some features can take a little time to find when you are first learning the system. A few of the menus and reporting options could be a little more intuitive, especially for newer users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
