"Superb Holiday Booking, Needs Better Calendar View"
3/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I use BambooHR to book my holidays easily. I find it super easy to segment staff by location or other filters to gather birthdays and anniversaries for internal communications. The holiday booking feature is particularly valuable since my organization has customized it to fit our specific needs. Generally, I find BambooHR easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I find it easy to use except for the fact there is no calendar for holiday or an annual position that is displayed easily. That is too hard and I have to have a spreadsheet separately for my own personal use. Seeing what your holiday position is could be easier. There could be a calendar view with what has been booked and what your remaining balance is. It's too annoying at the moment to view as separate instances and then view your balance by picking a date in the future. I don't understand why there isn't a calendar view, and everyone I work with hates this one thing about BambooHR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Makes HR Processes Easy and Organized"
4.5/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

What I like best about BambooHR is its clean and intuitive interface. Most HR-related tasks—such as viewing payslips, applying for leave, checking time off balances, accessing company policies, and updating personal information—are straightforward and easy to complete. The platform is reliable, well-organized, and makes routine HR processes much more efficient, reducing the need for manual follow-ups with the HR team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

While BambooHR is easy to use, some advanced reporting and workflow customization options are limited compared to larger enterprise HR platforms. The mobile app lacks a few desktop features, and certain third-party integrations require additional configuration. It would also benefit from stronger AI-powered capabilities, such as intelligent reporting, automated insights, and smarter workflow recommendations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Navigate UI and Handy Mobile App, with Occasional Web Notification Glitches"
3.5/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I like that the UI is really easy to navigate. The calendar view showing who’s off across the month helps with planning holiday requests and deciding when it’s best to take time off around the business’s needs.

It’s also very easy to log in from a mobile phone, so when I’m on the move, requests can be approved quickly. Having a mobile app integrated is a good addition, and I find it performs more seamlessly there as well.

The integration of signatures and reports that can be run from these, has also proven to be hugely benefical for NDA tracking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

On the web application it can sometimes come up with notifications that actions haven't worked, when in fact they have

"Feature-Rich, Easy to Navigate, and Effortless Reporting Across Devices"
5/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I like the features and capabilities. I appreciate that it allows both my organization and me (individually) to add and save pertinent information related to my role and job. I also love how easy the system is to navigate, as well as how simple it is to generate reports to keep track of employee/applicant records. On top of that, the platform is very accessible on both mobile and desktop. Overall, it’s just awesome. And this is just an understatement of its many and continually developing features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

In a labour market and corporate environment where flexiwork/remote work is almost the norm for many companies, I find it inconvenient that the platform doesn’t allow me to create a work-from-home schedule. Instead, I have to rely on manual entry using a custom table, rather than having an automated feature where I can import a dataset and have the status “WFH” reflected for the employee.

The service is streamlined and helps keep everyone in the company on track, and it has been an absolute dream when it comes to the onboarding process.

5/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

What I like best about BambooHR is its focus on creating a simple, intuitive experience for both HR teams and employees. It streamlines everyday HR tasks without adding unnecessary complexity, and its emphasis on people-first solutions aligns with building a positive workplace culture. I also appreciate BambooHR's reputation for innovation, customer service, and helping organizations support their employees more effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Like any software platform, BambooHR has limitations. Some advanced HR, payroll, and reporting features may not be as robust as those offered by larger enterprise systems, and certain customizations can require workarounds. That said, I appreciate that BambooHR prioritizes ease of use and continues to improve the platform based on customer feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined HR Tasks with Ultimate Ease"
5/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I use BambooHR because it lets me handle many work-related tasks without needing to contact HR directly. I appreciate how I can request PTO, vacation, or sick leave without the hassle of having to do paperwork or go into the office, and I can do it all remotely. I like being able to view my company's employee directory and contact coworkers, sign work documents electronically, and see my pay information or tax documents all in one spot. Accessing my pay information is especially valuable to me. Also, the initial setup of BambooHR was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Not all features are available in the mobile app. You may need to use a web browser for certain tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bamboo HR - Lots of great features, a few limitations"
4/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

Finding some limitations with the ability to customize different tools on the site. It is great for storing documents and keeping a record of things but to use for performance, 1:1 meetings we are finding limitations that are frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Provide the ability to further customize the performance section with the standard questions, how 1:1 schedules are set up and the ability to add floating holidays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customizable HRIS with Unbeatable Customer Service"
5/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I use BambooHR for my HRIS, benefits administration, payroll, performance management, communication, and eNPS. It makes it easy to keep all of our information in one place, process payroll, and handle benefits enrollment, which makes the day to day work of HR much easier. The platform is very customizable and user friendly. I am able to create fields to capture the data I want to help my organization. The customer service can't be beat, they are always available to quickly solve any problem I may have. It also integrates easily with other platforms like recognition and insurance. As far as I remember, it was easy to set up and implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Although I honestly don't have any big complaints if I have to say something I think benefits admin can be a bit confusing at times but it is also improving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
