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."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 scalability of BambooHR is good."
"The performance goals and personal features of every employee with the dashboard is most valuable."
"The product is user-friendly."
"This is a scalable solution. We have not experienced any issues."
"The solution's technical support is super responsive and helpful. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The tool's most valuable features are the recruitment module, performance module, and document storage."
"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 time capture from time cards to charging to projects has greatly improved because it is now all automated and flows into the GL very easily."
"Dayforce has transformed how we operate by saving us time, paper, accuracy, money, and the employee/supervisor experience."
"Employees like being able to see what entitlements/balances that they have for their time away."
"We used the solution to do a lot of performance management during the review cycle and it helped us alleviate the administrative burden."
"Statutory holiday pay is calculated automatically."
"It provides real-time information with great reports."
"The integrated time clock has provided efficiencies in payroll, as we no longer have to decipher handwritten time sheets and input them into the system."
"I have not encountered many bugs, and in the rare instances where problems occurred, Ceridian Dayforce HCM promptly fixed them. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The UI needs improvement because it needs to be more user-friendly."
"BambooHR needs to have more flexibility around performance management."
"It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software."
"The color palettes could be changed to make the solution a little more attractive and easier to use."
"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."
"If you are dealing with two or more businesses under one company name, it is not possible to transfer employees between companies if they have a separate bamboo set up."
"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."
"The solution's dashboards and geofencing could be improved."
"Management and reporting of the GL costing could be improved."
"The solution has a lot of glitches."
"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."
"I would like to see more built-in forms. This would save a lot of time during the year-end process."
"I would like the solution to improve its customer service communication."
"One area to be improved is the solution's reporting function, which can be cumbersome."
"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."
