We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The scalability of BambooHR is good.""The HR metrics that this solution provides has been most useful. We also really like the fact that employees have the ability to be self sufficient and manage their own information.""BambooHR is accessible to users who aren't good with technology. If you don't have an IT background, you can easily find information about any employee.""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 tool's most valuable features are the recruitment module, performance module, and document storage.""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.""The solution's technical support is super responsive and helpful. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."

"The stability of the solution is good.""Good integration capabilities and extensibility.""The Talent Acquisition and Headhunting features are good.""Performance and goal management are good to have, based on certain client requirements where the user base isn't too large, but the most workable domain of Taleo is the recruiting module.""The solution is stable and reliable.""It is easy to use. Requisition management and pre-screening are the two most valuable features.""The solution offers good benefits for administrators."

Cons
"It would be good to include more options for approvals and workflows. They are deliberately not the most sophisticated version of anything that they do, but it is like 80/20. They hit the vast majority of all the needs, but I have started to run up against the limits of their functionality. It has forced me to start paying attention to the marketplace or sending feedback to BambooHR. Clients are still happy though. Timesheets is a new area in which they're slowly expanding. It is currently very limited, but it meets the needs of standard nine-to-five salary employees who just want to be able to key in their time, have it approved, and then pushed off to payroll. It does not have any of the bells and whistles that an hourly employee or hourly worker might need. That is one area that is currently limited, but they have integrations with some of the best companies that do that.""We cannot add more questions to the assessments if we want to.""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.""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.""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.""In the BambooHR performance management annual evaluations we have some limits to the questions. We can only add four extra questions, and they already have three basic questions, this is not easy for us. We would like to have more flexibility with the questions.""BambooHR needs to have more flexibility around performance management."

More BambooHR Cons →

"In terms of Oracle Taleo as a product, there are a lot of things which can be developed; most feedback which I have heard from customers is about the dashboard and the home page, both of which are quite basic.""I don't see very valuable features in this product because it has an old way of interpreting ATS. It should be more flexible in managing datasets and data searches. The screening data is a long process in Taleo.""The pricing could be improved.""Lacks some systems that we need.""There are always going to be little caveats here and there that you might not have known about as far as changes are concerned, however, it's not business-oriented to the point where the business shuts down.""It would be ideal if we could integrate the solution with Olympia. It would be helpful if we could add another support desk for an IT person. It would be great if the product was more interdisciplinary and could include IT.""The bulk recruitment feature does not work well."

    Reviews from Real Users:

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the BambooHR solution.

    An HR Officer at a small financial services firm comments: “In the past, we managed all this [HR] information using Excel. Switching to BambooHR made it easier to access the information. It's easier to use and share reports. I can allow people to do their own reports so they don't need to deal with HR. BambooHR puts everything into one place, so I don't have to comb through several Excel files to collect all the information I need to make a report.”

    A Director of Human Resources at a large construction company says: “I would recommend this solution to other users. It has given me the ability to run a lean team and add automation to the way that we work.”
