We performed a comparison between BambooHR and Dayforce HCM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Talent Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."BambooHR is accessible to users who aren't good with technology. If you don't have an IT background, you can easily find information about any employee."
"I like the fact that the annual days are calculated automatically and that if annual leave is taken in the future, those days are put on hold. You know at every point how many days of annual leave are you left with and how many are on hold."
"The solution's technical support is super responsive and helpful. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"This is a scalable solution. We have not experienced any issues."
"The tool's most valuable features are the recruitment module, performance module, and document storage."
"We use this solution for our end to end HR needs from onboarding and hiring to learning."
"Leave management is the most valuable as they all started with leave management and then progressed to performance management. Of course, employee profiles are central to everything. It is also very easy to use. Customers get on board with it very quickly. One of the selling points for BambooHR is that they have a very wide partner network. There are lots of other partners that have integrations with BambooHR. They have an open API. This is one of the things that is driving its growth because lots of people and companies are literally just building integrations of BambooHR to ride the wave. If you have an integration with BambooHR, you get sales. People are more likely to choose your product because they've already chosen BambooHR. That's how it is happening. It is a cloud deployment, so there is only one version. They do the updates every month, and because of this, you are encouraged to send them feedback all the time. You never know. Your feature may be included in the next release."
"The HR metrics that this solution provides has been most useful. We also really like the fact that employees have the ability to be self sufficient and manage their own information."
"Great time and attendance payroll and benefits administration which has improved our efficiency."
"The implementation was through a team assigned to us by Ceridian. They were extremely knowledgeable and it made the implementation go very smoothly."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It provides real-time information with great reports."
"We like being able to hire from the Dayforce recruiting module straight into Dayforce and having the file feeds go to our benefits vendor."
"Configuring your HR policies and rules is straightforward."
"Statutory holiday pay is calculated automatically."
"The tool has improved a lot in the area of its mobile application, especially considering its added security features, like single sign-on capabilities."
"It would be good to include more options for approvals and workflows. They are deliberately not the most sophisticated version of anything that they do, but it is like 80/20. They hit the vast majority of all the needs, but I have started to run up against the limits of their functionality. It has forced me to start paying attention to the marketplace or sending feedback to BambooHR. Clients are still happy though. Timesheets is a new area in which they're slowly expanding. It is currently very limited, but it meets the needs of standard nine-to-five salary employees who just want to be able to key in their time, have it approved, and then pushed off to payroll. It does not have any of the bells and whistles that an hourly employee or hourly worker might need. That is one area that is currently limited, but they have integrations with some of the best companies that do that."
"The performance could be improved. When you save some documents, it takes longer to store them in BambooHR's systems than it used to. Something needs to be upgraded or fixed in the code. Alow, we provide services to other companies, so Bamboo isn't able to help us in many areas because of the way we work."
"There are some issues with the job tab under my info where you add the salary."
"I would like to be able to export some documents into PDFs a little easier. Right now, only HR can update the training record and as you scale your company, managing the system can be manual and time consuming."
"The UI needs improvement because it needs to be more user-friendly."
"The color palettes could be changed to make the solution a little more attractive and easier to use."
"It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software."
"We cannot add more questions to the assessments if we want to."
"Management and reporting of the GL costing could be improved."
"The reporting could be improved."
"The solution's initial setup was difficult. Also, the solution's initial deployment took around six months."
"It would be nice if retro pay calculations were made automatically for salaried payroll, so a calculation and manual entry do not have to be done."
"I would like to continue to see improvements in the Recruiting module. I would like to see this module interact with Calendars, such as Outlook, etc."
"An area for improvement could be a little more testing before implementing hotfixes to make sure they do not interfere with any active customized products."
"Many things are presented as though they will be included with the system but then require costly upgrades."
"I would like to see more built-in forms. This would save a lot of time during the year-end process."
