BambooHR
SMBs wanting a simple central HR system for employee records, PTO, and onboarding without an IT team
Best value for HR teams moving off spreadsheets at 20–100 employees. The self-service PTO portal is the #1 time-saver cited by users. Reporting is the consistent weak spot — budget for Excel exports or a BI tool alongside it.
Very large enterprises needing deep custom workflows or global payroll built in

I really miss Bamboo, having since moved to a company using Jenkins now.

Bamboo’s integrations make it harder for devs to create repeatable, reliable builds, not easier.

The online system is for HR only and designed to weed out crap based on simple filters. Non-standard candidates with interesting backgrounds and high motivation will almost certainly be rejected.

Great for the basics but reporting is weak. We kept having to export to Excel to get the views we actually needed.

BambooHR replaced our spreadsheet chaos. Onboarding new hires went from a 2-hour admin nightmare to something we set up in 20 minutes.
