We tried to use it for employee evaluations and it failed us miserably.

Bamboo is a great way to see HR related announcements and data in one central place. For someone who likes details, this software is great.

Obviously you can contact their great customer service team but this usually isn’t needed thanks to its simplicity and great clean layout.

For organisations implementing their first HRIS this is one of the best choices in terms of cost, ease of implementation and customer support.

Bamboo has a great UI, easy to manage and learn. Makes being able to submit time-off requests super easy.

Bamboo is great and I think its really useful for a multinational company like ours.

I like that all the important documents I need are in the same place. I like that I can clearly see my benefits and earnings.

I liked most the impact it has on communication in my team, priceless.

Bamboo has great templates set up. Super easy to use and very intuitive.

I also like the job anniversary and birthday tracker. Helps us celebrate the good things in the office.

I have been onboarded to a new company for freelance through BambooHR and it was a seamless experience. Be it signing a contract or tracking my invoice, its just very useful.

This software has been so helpful throughout the pandemic. Easy to manage and update, very user friendly.

We've been with Bamboo about 2 years, and are satisfied with the product. The company is constantly deploying new features and their customer support are patient and client service driven.

Easy to integrate with other ATS & Payroll tools. Employee asset management is also fairly decent and does the job.

I like it, It's a nice system, and it does its job well. I would like to test out the ATS integrations further.

We had a terrible experience with the payroll feature. In particular, with the time keeping piece.

This is just a minor inconvenience though and ensures that mistakes are less likely.

My company is growing rapidly, so it’s nice to search and see a photo to their name and title.

Horrible interface, difficult to use. Also, getting any information about the candidate was difficult to find.

BambooHR has a nice interface to publish job opportunities, other than its native features of HR/team management.

Overall is a good piece of software. I wish they would invest in the user experience.

The dashboard can be confusing at times and can be hard to find your exact document.

I cannot see the total of vacation days that I have in a year, only the ones that have accumulated until the current moment, which is a horrible way of ovserseeing my leave.

The people and how they cant help with any misunderstandings but instead cancel your account and destroy the company that you worked so hard on. Garbage un hearted people.

We enjoy the ease of use and how it makes the process from applicant to employee seamless.

Customer support is superior and they actually implement good suggestions from their clients.

With bambooHR you can keep the company running without lost a lot of money on hiring the HR Profession or personnel.

Great experience with a fast and reliable tool. Wonderful visibility tool for growing teams.

I believe it is very user-friendly and has a great design. I'm not an administrator but some reports are shared to me and they are very clear and informative.

May take a lost of space when including documents.

You can integrate your email and sync your calendar to see who's off from your company. The user experience is very pleasant and it is very easy to navigate through the platform.

Bamboohr customer support has a very acceptable response speed, as well as being very friendly at all times. It is the best services.

Overall my experience with BambooHR was positive, it handled time tracking and benefits as a good system should.

It is easy to use, intuitive, and responsive. It has many great features that allow it to be quite flexible.

With the exception of one of the rep who helped me with migration, the customer service is appalling.

Dishonest and misleading practice on the free trial.

Believe the positive reviews - it really is easy to use and the Customer Service Team have great patience, nothing is too much for them to help with.

I love BrightPays ability to be integrated into other CRM platforms.

Simple to use, the level of Customer Service is fantastic and very cost effective for small businesses such as Spenart.

Easy set up, good support, great functionality, good reporting and payslip production, good employee database.

Another benefit is that it emails PDF payslips all at once. Integrates with HMRC for RTI, and also for coding notices which is great.

A comprehensive software that is simple to use. As a small employer, I think this is an excellent product and it is provided free of charge until you have more than three employees.

The guilt feeling I get from being a small user and not having to pay for the program.

Bright pay is an easy to use payroll software. It covers auto enrolment for pensions and statutory payments and provides vey good and helpful customer support and an easy to read online help page.

I use the one-company free version and for free it is absolutely brilliant. I find it very easy and intuitive to use (especially as I am not a payroll expert).

Less description and I never found it useful. Auto Enrolment function is not straight forward, most of the time so get error message for unsuccessful submissions.

This will discourage the customers to directly contact their area managers and wasting their time. Customers can provide feedback and acknowledgment of their tickets.

Some years later I am very happy to report that BrightPay fully does the job, is easy to use, and are happy to answer any questions one might have.

I have recommended this product because of great customer service and ease of use,  having switched from sage some three years ago, and my friends are now using it and thank me all the time.

I initially talked to some of the BrightPay staff at a seminar for bookkeepers and they were very helpful; I've only had to contact the helpline once during conversion and they were brilliant.

I like the help from BrightPay which can be found on their website and I have emailed for assistance and this has been a clear quick response both times.

Having used HMRC's own system for a number of years (and I found it absolutely dreadful), I decided to bit the bullet and make the switch.

And best of all was the price, we have saved hundreds of pounds over the last few years thanks to this great software.

This software has many aspects likes covers payroll including other expenses and benefits. It’s a nice and modern user platform, simple and easy to use.
