We performed a comparison between BambooHR and SAP HCM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Benefits Administration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the fact that the annual days are calculated automatically and that if annual leave is taken in the future, those days are put on hold. You know at every point how many days of annual leave are you left with and how many are on hold."
"The scalability of BambooHR is good."
"I can easily go to BambooHR to search for any staff member in the company."
"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."
"The solution's technical support is super responsive and helpful. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The product is user-friendly."
"We use this solution for our end to end HR needs from onboarding and hiring to learning."
"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 stability of the solution is good."
"We are satisfied with the reporting by SAP HCM."
"The user interface is the solution's most valuable feature. It makes it easy for us to use."
"I like the talent, recruitment, and learning features the most."
"All our employee data, like performance and payroll, is managed through SAP HCM."
"SAP HCM has valuable features for analytics data management."
"It is a pretty stable solution."
"They provide the most stable and powerful technology in the areas of human resources, information systems, and ERP."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software."
"The UI needs improvement because it needs to be more user-friendly."
"In the BambooHR performance management annual evaluations we have some limits to the questions. We can only add four extra questions, and they already have three basic questions, this is not easy for us. We would like to have more flexibility with the questions."
"The setup comes with a set of challenges as well."
"SAP is not ready to sell the license on time and delays the progress of projects. It's better to work with a competitor like Oracle. Those that are selling the product just go through powerpoints and don't have the knowledge necessary to sell. They can't answer any questions."
"It would be nice if the solution migrated to S/4HANA."
"HCM could improve compatibility, making it more accessible via web applications and graphical interfaces."
"SAP HCM needs to improve its UI."
"The speed of technical support can be improved."
"There are already success factors for the cloud solution which cannot be integrated into S/4 HANA."
"System usability is a challenge."
