The setup is still easy and support is great. > > **Cons**: I still have a little trouble getting reports to report on what I want it to. Also, with all the upgrades, their pricing has gone up. > > They have great support and even when I have trouble it usually ends up with a good result. Overall, I'd say we are very happy with it. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Better than their competitors" — 4.0/5 > **Tomas** | *17 February 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: After having changed to some competitor, I now miss BambooHR's features significantly. Other's are utterly complex, especially when viewing already requested annual leaves. > > **Cons**: It still needs a major rework in terms of containing local calendars and their holidays, and syncing properly with other tools. ----- ### "Simple but very effective HRIS solution." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 April 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: BambooHR is one of the most simplified HRIS solutions out there. The value is spot on for what you get. Their customer support is always available and responsive. It can handle all things payroll, employee directory, job postings and onboarding, and document management. > > **Cons**: Simple tool that doesn't offer much additional customization. While it does have a ton of great features, some folks would like to add their own touch to it. > > Overall, this tool has been a valuable resource for our HR team. They have the ability to keep track of all aspects of an employee in one simple solution. ----- ### "BambooHR is Great\!" — 5.0/5 > **Sarah** | *20 April 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: BambooHR is super easy to use. Being able to see all your PTO hours in one place makes tracking things very simple. I am also a huge fan of the Goals section where I can add projects and breakdowns of what benchmarks need hitting and when. I also like that I can tag colleagues when collaborating on projects so we all are on the same page. > > **Cons**: For me, the limit of 10 item breakdowns per project goal sometimes cause an issue and I have to do multiple goals for the same projects because I run out of boxes. The phone app also bugs out occasionally and I will have to reload it before I can log in or out. > > Overall, I love BambooHR. It has made submitting time sheets and time off requests sooooo much easier than our old time card system. Being able to track my projects as well as add collaborators has been a wonderful perk of the software. ----- Page: 1 / 132\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/27196/bamboohr-payroll?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/27196/bamboohr-payroll) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
