It's accessible to people who don't have tech experience, but it doesn't perform as well as we'd like
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. I would like the ability to use the performance appraisal for Bamboo no matter how many Bamboos I have. Furthermore, it should be easier to transfer an employee from one company to another. They have a feature now, but it's not helpful. We get a lot of errors when we move it from one Bamboo to the other. I can download the information from company A and transfer it to company B, but I need to make three different downloads and upload them to the system. Sometimes, it doesn't work properly, and some information is missing. The information goes to different areas based on tags. It's much easier if you have a linked connection where you can take the same information and move it to the same place. All the Bamboos for the companies I use have the same formatting.

Great for large organizations, excellent customization, from a seasoned user.
Our primary use cases are related to payroll The layer of customization is very high and this has improved our organization. The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have. The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when…

"The product is user-friendly."
"The solution's technical support is super responsive and helpful. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"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."
"I can easily go to BambooHR to search for any staff member in the company."
"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."
"We use this solution for our end to end HR needs from onboarding and hiring to learning."
"Performance appraisal might be the most valuable feature for us."
"The support team were friendly and work in a systematic way. When contacting support you are able to add a level of priority to your case which is always respected by their team."

"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"The tool provides a lot of options."
"The solution has a great payroll engine."
 

Cons

"The only thing that could have been added is better integration with local payroll systems or a local Canadian payroll module."
"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."
"We cannot add more questions to the assessments if we want to."
"BambooHR needs to have more flexibility around performance management."
"There are some issues with the job tab under my info where you add the salary."
"BambooHR could be improved by managing leave in a way that transfers remaining days at the end of the annual year to the following year."
"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."
"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."
"training and performance could be improved."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"In future releases, it would be useful to see reporting lines of all the team members in our business to understand who reports to whom."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was definitely cheaper than some of the larger systems."
"We pay a monthly subscription to use the solution. The subscript model is based on how many employees we have active."
"Price-wise, the solution is in the middle compared to other tools offering similar functionalities."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Meta4 requires annual maintenance that needs to be paid for."
"From a cost perspective, I think this is a well-balanced option."
