What do you dislike most about this product?
Lack of pricing transparency- The pricing of the two core packages is not provided on the company website. This makes it difficult for prospective purchasers to compare the price against other products. Cloud-only BambooHR is a cloud solution and does not support self-hosted data. BambooHR customer data is hosted in the United States, Canada, or Ireland, depending on where customers are based. This inevitably means giving up some degree of control of the data and creates potential vulnerabilities for the data. Lack of customization in the ‘Essentials’ package.Users are limited to a standard set of reports in the ‘Essentials’ package.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It is worth digging in more deeply to demonstrate how the key features of BambooHR work in detail.A leave management widget, giving you a quick overview of who is on leave, who has leave planned, and the leave available to the logged-in user.Announcements, which covers HR activity that has recently occurred, or needs to be actioned by the user A ‘My Benefits’ section summarizing the user’s benefits.
