Finding relevant files is also incredibly easy. > > **Cons**: It's feature set only stretches so far. It does what it does well, but may require you to buy different software to complement it. ----- ### "Streamlined, friendly HR software that makes employee management a breeze\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *22 July 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The intuitive, user-friendly interface is easily the best part of BambooHR. It makes navigating employee records, tracking time off, and managing onboarding completely seamless for both HR and employees. The self-service portal is fantastic—employees can quickly find what they need or request PTO without needing step-by-step guidance. Plus, the reporting features make pulling essential workforce data effortless and fast. > > **Cons**: Honestly, there isn't much to dislike\! If I had to pick anything, it would be that some of the advanced customization options for reports and specific workflows can take a quick learning curve to tailor exactly to unique internal processes. However, their helpful support resources and overall ease of use more than make up for it. > > Overall, BambooHR has been a game-changer for organizing our HR processes. It cleans up administrative clutter, automates repetitive tasks, and creates a really polished, professional experience for our team. It’s reliable, clean, and genuinely enjoyable to use every day\! ----- ### "Great when growing, but only to a certain extent." — 3.0/5 > **Antawn** | *4 July 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: BambooHR worked to house all of our sensitive employee documents and also track the status of current employees and former employees. It did this well enough. > > **Cons**: BambooHR now is easy to use, but isn’t the best for larger businesses. With my organization growing, this platform focused for smaller organization is proving to not be ideal for us. ----- ### "Happy customer" — 5.0/5 > **Sweta** | *4 June 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: On top would stands out the customer/ payroll support. BambooHR is user-friendly and no to low training is needed for new admins. It is very cost-efficient option for small employers to manage all HR functions in-house. The upgrade of ATS recently has made recruitment easier than ever. We love email alerts as we can communicate with all departments about the job details change without worrying about forgetting them. Last but not the least is the age-banded benefits management option availability for small groups. > > **Cons**: BambooHR could work on their reporting tool and Signature setting options. Reporting tools have some limitations when it comes to performance reports not being able to run when we customize our questions. > > Fits our needs well so far. I don't think we will need a new HRIS unless we are a team of 500 or more ----- ### "Bamboo HR makes my life easier\!" — 5.0/5 > **Dawn** | *22 July 2026* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Bamboo HR provides a simple to use platform to assist us with our daily tasks. Their customer support is always helpful and quick to provide us with the answers we need. > > **Cons**: I would like to see revisions to the performance portion of Bamboo HR. Currently it is very limited. We have been able to work with their customer support team to establish custom tabs to help us manager our evaluation process, but looking forward to upgrades in this area. > > Overall we have been very happy with everything Bamboo HR is providing. From the implementation to the day-to-day processes, and anytime we contact customer support the experience with Bamboo HR is amazing\! ----- Page: 1 / 143\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/27196/bamboohr-payroll?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/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
