"Effortless Time-Off Tracking and Approvals with BambooHR"

4.5/5

What do you like best about BambooHR?

The time-off tracking and approval workflow is what stands out most to me. Requests, balances, and manager approvals all sync seamlessly, which has cut down on the constant back-and-forth emails we used to deal with. It's made the whole process feel effortless for both employees and managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Reporting customization could be more flexible—building specific custom reports sometimes takes more clicks than expected, and a few export formatting options feel limited. Onboarding took a little longer than anticipated since some of the setup steps weren't immediately obvious, though support was responsive when we had questions. The AI-driven features (like suggested insights) are useful but still feel a bit basic compared to what I'd hoped for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's solved a lot of the manual, scattered HR admin we used to deal with—things like tracking time-off requests, managing employee records, and handling approvals across spreadsheets and email chains. Now everything lives in one place, so managers and employees can self-serve for most requests without HR having to be the middleman for every little thing.

The biggest benefit has been time savings—our HR team isn't buried in admin tasks anymore and can focus on more strategic work. It's also improved accuracy, since data isn't being duplicated or re-entered across different systems, and employees have much better visibility into their own information (PTO balances, documents, etc.) without needing to ask.
