Find out in this report how the two Cloud HCM solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the fact that the annual days are calculated automatically and that if annual leave is taken in the future, those days are put on hold. You know at every point how many days of annual leave are you left with and how many are on hold."
"The product is user-friendly."
"I can easily go to BambooHR to search for any staff member in the company."
"The performance goals and personal features of every employee with the dashboard is most valuable."
"The solution's technical support is super responsive and helpful. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The scalability of BambooHR is good."
"We use this solution for our end to end HR needs from onboarding and hiring to learning."
"Leave management is the most valuable as they all started with leave management and then progressed to performance management. Of course, employee profiles are central to everything. It is also very easy to use. Customers get on board with it very quickly. One of the selling points for BambooHR is that they have a very wide partner network. There are lots of other partners that have integrations with BambooHR. They have an open API. This is one of the things that is driving its growth because lots of people and companies are literally just building integrations of BambooHR to ride the wave. If you have an integration with BambooHR, you get sales. People are more likely to choose your product because they've already chosen BambooHR. That's how it is happening. It is a cloud deployment, so there is only one version. They do the updates every month, and because of this, you are encouraged to send them feedback all the time. You never know. Your feature may be included in the next release."
"It provides real-time information with great reports."
"Statutory holiday pay is calculated automatically."
"The fact that the time and attendance system is built into the HRIS is very valuable because, in the past, we had to use two different systems."
"The tool has improved a lot in the area of its mobile application, especially considering its added security features, like single sign-on capabilities."
"We used the solution to do a lot of performance management during the review cycle and it helped us alleviate the administrative burden."
"The implementation was through a team assigned to us by Ceridian. They were extremely knowledgeable and it made the implementation go very smoothly."
"Configuring your HR policies and rules is straightforward."
"Our employee benefits enrollment is managed through Ceridian Dayforce, which makes for a limited manual process."
"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."
"There are some issues with the job tab under my info where you add the salary."
"The performance could be improved. When you save some documents, it takes longer to store them in BambooHR's systems than it used to. Something needs to be upgraded or fixed in the code. Alow, we provide services to other companies, so Bamboo isn't able to help us in many areas because of the way we work."
"BambooHR could be improved by managing leave in a way that transfers remaining days at the end of the annual year to the following year."
"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."
"BambooHR needs to have more flexibility around performance management."
"It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software."
"The color palettes could be changed to make the solution a little more attractive and easier to use."
"The reporting could be improved."
"The solution's initial setup was difficult. Also, the solution's initial deployment took around six months."
"One area to be improved is the solution's reporting function, which can be cumbersome."
"I would also like to see some improvement in standard reports. A standard report should be available to pull the required information for Affirmative Action Plans. I do not think I should have to build or create one."
"Many things are presented as though they will be included with the system but then require costly upgrades."
"I would like the solution to improve its customer service communication."
"Management and reporting of the GL costing could be improved."
