HRIS software used for a company of 300 employees that offers employee tracking, data insights and automation
I use this solution for all things HR related. It was the first HRIS system that I implemented for a company of around 300 employees. I was able to consolidate our software systems because BambooHR offers pulse surveys, NPS scores and performance reviews. It also tracks training and acts as an…

Enhancing HR engagement with effective development but could benefit from AI-driven improvements
The primary feature I appreciate about the solution is the information connection, allowing us to have a full employee life cycle visibility over the platforms. It also enables the creation of interactions between employees, launching communication campaigns that raise engagement. From the HR side, the most valuable features are the Learning Management Systems (LMS) that allow providing a personalized service in terms of development, where each employee can choose and architect their development plans. The second valuable feature is the autonomy each employee has to update their personal data. In terms of talent management, it helps design development processes, backups, and clearly view the criteria for those backups being achieved.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's very user-friendly and easy to train someone new. It was easy to implement and get someone onboarded on the system."
"The tool's most valuable features are the recruitment module, performance module, and document storage."
"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."
"The scalability of BambooHR is good."
"We use this solution for our end to end HR needs from onboarding and hiring to learning."
"The product is user-friendly."
"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."
"This is a scalable solution. We have not experienced any issues."
"The support team were friendly and work in a systematic way. When contacting support you are able to add a level of priority to your case which is always respected by their team."
"The tool provides a lot of options."
"The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful."
"Performance appraisal might be the most valuable feature for us."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"From the HR side, the most valuable features are the Learning Management Systems (LMS) that allow providing a personalized service in terms of development, where each employee can choose and architect their development plans."
 

Cons

"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."
"The only thing that could have been added is better integration with local payroll systems or a local Canadian payroll module."
"It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software."
"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."
"The color palettes could be changed to make the solution a little more attractive and easier to use."
"We cannot add more questions to the assessments if we want to."
"There are some issues with the job tab under my info where you add the salary."
"I would like to be able to export some documents into PDFs a little easier. Right now, only HR can update the training record and as you scale your company, managing the system can be manual and time consuming."
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"training and performance could be improved."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, the solution is in the middle compared to other tools offering similar functionalities."
"It was definitely cheaper than some of the larger systems."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"We pay a monthly subscription to use the solution. The subscript model is based on how many employees we have active."
"From a cost perspective, I think this is a well-balanced option."
"Meta4 requires annual maintenance that needs to be paid for."
