Key User Insights
	BambooHR®	GoCo
Considered Both Products	BambooHR Verified User Chose BambooHR® There are a lot of point on which BambooHR overshadow other. 1. Its cost efficient. 2. It's more effective than any other tool currently available. 3. Very less input is required. Incentivized Helpful?	GoCo.io. Inc. Verified User Chose GoCo We really wanted an HRIS that also did benefits open enrollment. GoCo was able to provide both of those in one system. And, the open enrollment process is pretty slick for employees. Incentivized Helpful?
