I love Bamboo\!" — 4.0/5 > **Chey** | *24 September 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that BambooHR is easy to use and navigate. not only for the admins, but also for the employees. I like when I train anyone on the system, they immediately get it. The hiring system is really easy to use as well. We usually get some good candidates from the postings. There are also many ways to communicate through Bamboo which makes it easy for HR to get messages out to the company. > > **Cons**: I know that they are recently making some changes, but I do not like how it is not as customizable friendly as I would hope. For instance. We wanted to change our performance review dates, but the system does not allow that. It only goes by hire date. Unfortunately, we have not use d the payroll system but hoping to add soon. > > My overall experience has been good. I have participated in some calls to help with system changes, and I feel that the support team is great as well. The best thing is that it is affordable. If I have to rate it, I will give it an 8/10 for small business management. ----- ### "Great HRIS for Small Businesses" — 5.0/5 > **Jacquelyn** | *25 September 2026* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very user-friendly, great for small businesses, discounts for non-profits, and I always have a good experience when reaching out for support. They also consistently add new features. I love their onboarding features as well. > > **Cons**: I dislike how some of their great features require upgrades to a higher cost plan. Aside from that, I have no complaints. > > Overall, I have enjoyed BambooHR. It has made my job more efficient. I used to rely heavily on excel spreadsheets for reports and other data, but with this system, it has helped alleviate some of that administrative burden. ----- ### "Bamboo WOOHOO" — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *19 August 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am able to track all my benefits paystubs and other work documents on this. It allowed me to put in time of requests easily. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it has trouble loading. I also have noticed it won't log in my clock in/out sometimes requiring me to contact my manager to fix. > > Overall it is the best I have used this far. Even with the occasional bugs it is still excellent overall ----- ### "Decent tool of looking for one suite solution" — 3.0/5 > **Christoph** | *15 August 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: BambooHR provides a core HR system with a reasonable breadth of modules to cover most of a company's HR functions. The solution is adequately priced and is easy to use by the employees (esp. self admin / help). > > **Cons**: The configurability across different countries is not as pronounced as it should be, one example can be different time tracking and payment and also time recording regulations across countries. This leads to duplicate work outside the system. > > I appreciate the breadth of the tool in itself to function as a core HR system and provide decent modules on specialized scope such as recruiting, onboarding, time tracking, payroll, performance mgmt. ----- ### "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\! ----- Page: 1 / 147\ 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
