User-friendly and reliable HR tool
We switched from Workday after finding it overly complex and expensive for our mid-sized team. BambooHR stood out because of its straightforward interface and solid reporting features, which made tracking employee data much easier. Compared to Zenefits, BambooHR felt more polished and reliable, especially when managing time-off requests. The mobile app could use some improvement, but overall it fits well with our day-to-day HR needs.

Solid but could improve
We tried Gusto first but switched to BambooHR for its simpler interface and better employee management features. Still, I found BambooHR’s reporting less flexible compared to Namely, which we looked at briefly. Overall, it does the job but sometimes feels a bit clunky when juggling multiple tasks.

User-friendly and flexible HR tool
We tried Workday first, but BambooHR felt more intuitive for our small team, especially when it came to managing time-off requests and employee records. Compared to Gusto, BambooHR’s interface is cleaner and the reporting tools are more flexible, which really helped us track HR trends without a ton of digging. The onboarding features stood out, making it easier to get new hires up to speed without juggling multiple platforms. It’s not perfect—sometimes the mobile app lags—but overall it fits our needs better than the other options we tested.

Simplified PTO tracking, but flawed
Our HR team was drowning in trying to track employee time-off requests manually, which led to tons of confusion and errors. BambooHR helped by giving us a centralized place to submit and approve PTO, which definitely cut down on mix-ups. However, the reporting features were clunky and didn’t offer the level of customization we needed, so we still had to export data and manipulate it elsewhere. Honestly, for how basic the time-off tracking was, I expected a smoother overall experience.

Solid HR tool with room to grow
Started using this about 5 years ago and it’s definitely gotten smoother and more intuitive over time. The reporting tools have improved a lot, though sometimes the mobile app can be a bit glitchy.
Lowe H.
Simplified PTO Management
Keeping track of PTO and approvals was a nightmare for our small HR team, with so many people emailing or messaging about time off. BambooHR’s built-in leave management made it way easier to see who was off and approve requests quickly, cutting down on the back-and-forth. It saved us a ton of time and reduced errors, though sometimes the mobile app is a bit slow.
Joanne T.
Simple and effective HR tool
Really like how easy it is to track time off and manage employee info without jumping through hoops. The interface’s clean and straightforward, which makes my day a bit smoother. Wish the reporting was a bit more flexible though.
Sofia W.
Setup was a mixed experience
Getting BambooHR set up was a bit of a mixed bag. Onboarding felt straightforward enough, and I had the basic system running within a day, which was nice. However, diving deeper into customization and integrations took longer than expected, and the learning curve was steeper than I anticipated. Overall, it wasn’t a nightmare, but it definitely required some patience to get everything working smoothly.

Great for Team Organization
Our team of about 15 switched over to BambooHR last year, and getting everyone to adapt was smoother than I expected since the interface is pretty straightforward. It’s helped keep us aligned on PTO and reviews, though some people still find certain reports a bit clunky to generate.
Jocelyn R.
Not worth the cost
BambooHR feels way overpriced for what it actually offers, especially when you’re a small team trying to keep costs down. The features are pretty basic and don’t justify the high monthly fees, so I didn’t see any real return on investment. Honestly, it just ended up draining our budget without adding much value.
