"The scalability of BambooHR is good."
"The tool's most valuable features are the recruitment module, performance module, and document storage."

"The product is user-friendly."
"This is a scalable solution. We have not experienced any issues."

"Recently, the localization versions for different countries were increased, and that added value to the solution."
"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."
"There are some issues with the job tab under my info where you add the salary."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The UI needs improvement because it needs to be more user-friendly."
"The breadth of functionality offered by SAP HCM comes at a cost."
"It needs a lot of end user training as it is not intuitive at all."
"There are already success factors for the cloud solution which cannot be integrated into S/4 HANA."
"A better user interface and greater AI integration are crucial."
"The product's learning and development features could be better, including new exclusive LMS tools."
"It was difficult to deploy. There were challenges regarding configurations and implementation. So, we had a lot of issues."
"I would like it to move more towards a single data space, a single data source. SAP as a platform relies on multiple data sources because traditionally, it's been bolted together by the acquisition of other products rather than a single database. That's why there are lots of points of failure and lots of required points of integration. They need a single integration point."
"Its reporting feature could have customization options."
