Payroll's easier than ever now. Love it so much. > > **Cons**: Could look better, aesthetically. a little bit too simple sometime but it's something you can get used to quickly. > > Excellent. Work been optimized in the best way, and everyone around me feel the same. We all love it. ----- ### "Easy To Use" — 5.0/5 > **Joyce** | *18 May 2026* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and find any information needed for payroll, time off and company correspondence. Nice to be able to find our different employees in all the states and birthdays with being remote. > > **Cons**: I havent been able to find anything that was a con at this point. I would recommend to any of my colleagues. > > It has been great to just login and see my PTO or paystub. Also very easy to get any documents sent from HR or to view previous documents sent and completed. ----- ### "time system improvement" — 3.0/5 > **ingrid** | *14 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: the dash board options - very disappointed that the full day hour option how may hours worked for that day only ins no longer available to be seen > > **Cons**: the drop down for the task after job number could be set up better. i think if you could enter a weeks time in a table vs individual drop down as set up would be easier and quicker > > Pretty good assorted options on dashboard but i think more could be available to be helpful maybe personalization of widget options per user ----- ### "Good HR platform for small teams" — 4.0/5 > **sait doğan** | *24 April 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The thing I liked most is how quickly we managed to onboard the whole team. We were using spreadsheets and a messy Google Drive folder before, and in around two weeks everyone had their profile set up and was actually using the system. The interface doesn't look like a typical enterprise software, which is important because some of our employees only log in two or three times in a year. Time-off requests work very well. Employee submits, manager gets a notification, and that's it. No more chasing people on Slack to ask if they saw the email. Mobile app is also useful for this, since some of our team are not sitting at a desk all day. > > **Cons**: Price is the main issue for me. They charge per employee per month, and it gets expensive quickly, especially when you start adding Payroll and Performance as separate modules. It feels like every feature I really needed was behind another paywall. For a small business, you should really calculate if the total cost makes sense compared to using few cheaper tools separately. Payroll itself is okay but not amazing. We had some problems with tax filings in the first quarter and reaching support on the phone took longer than expected. Support is mostly by email and the response time can be slow if your problem is not marked as urgent. > > Mostly positive. It does the main HRIS job well and our team is actually using it, which was not the case with our previous system. Where it falls short is when you start needing more advanced functions, like complex payroll cases, custom reports, or real recruiting features. At that point you either pay for extra modules or build a workaround. ----- ### "Great HR platform to organize a team better" — 4.0/5 > **Irene** | *19 June 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I work in the marketing team and I use Bamboo HR to be informed about my coworkers holidays and ask for my holidays. I think the nicest part of the tool is that its super intuitive and easy to use. > > **Cons**: I dont think I have ever had a bad experience with it but some times I feel like we could have more information on our profiles and be able to learn more about our coworkers with it. > > Overall, our experience with BambooHR has been very positive. It makes it easy with new hires and also with organization of our team. If it integrated more tools like feedback ones, it would be even greater. ----- Page: 1 / 139\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/20517/bamboohr?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/20517/bamboohr) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
