    I think they are the worst

    Chose BambooHR®
    Bamboo's simplicity in utilization beats all the above. The functionality isn't as robust as some, but it gets the job done well and has no huge misses, especially as I believe the simplicity outweighs the lack of functionality in small areas!

    Chose BambooHR®
    Bamboo is a great and cheaper entry option for an HRIS. Good starting point, but you may need to upgrade to a more featured platform as you get larger and have bigger initiatives

    Chose BambooHR®
    For small business, like myself, BambooHR is enough. When working for more giant corporations, Workday was amazing. However, I cannot compare their customer service. In terms of user experience, BambooHR is definitely better than the others listed.

    I moved to a new company and prefer BambooHR.

    Chose BambooHR®
    Although there are many products in the marketplace, there is no perfect system. BambooHR is the most economical HRIS for a small business, start-up, or business that has never had HR software. BambooHR was selected for its affordable functionality. However, if they continue …

    Much easier to use, at least as end user, than UltiPro. However I’m not sure if it’s as robust.
    Incentivized
    Chose BambooHR®
    UltiPro, from what I remember, was clunky and always had an awkward calculation of my hours. I could not "project" how much PTO I would have when I wanted to take time off in the future. Also, I was planning my maternity leave with UltiPro, and I truly feel like the software …

    Chose UKG Pro
    I prefer BambooHR overall. It has a very robust ATS and is more user-friendly. As a Canadian, UKG Pro is better for payroll administration. I also really enjoy the HR Webinars that BambooHR puts on for its customers. The BambooHR Virtual Summit is a great perk to having BambooHR

    Chose UKG Pro
    I have used each of the other products at different workplaces. UKG Pro is a sweet spot of having the top features from each without most of the downsides of each.

    Chose UKG Pro
    The organization already had UKG Pro - it was nothing that was chosen. As far as ranking, it would be last on the list.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    UKG has more integrated features that are user friendly, however in recent updates, ADP is a close competitor. Hopefully the merger with Kronos will continue to improve UltiPro.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    We like the simplicity of UltiPro. UltiPro had all the modules we were looking for in one solution.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    UltiPro just worked better for our company. Easier to learn and teach, better fit our needs HR wise. It is worth the money hands down.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    The sales process with UKG wasn't overly pushy and they didn't oversell the product. We were informed upfront about the features and limitations and they were absolutely honest with us the entire time. We also felt as if we were part of the family at UKG - which has a lot to …

    Chose UKG Pro
    UltiPro had better global capabilities than the other options. They also had competitive pricing.
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    UltiPro is the all inclusive solution, our CEO calls it the cadillac and you will likely pay a cadillac price. Kronos is a very similar solution for a much better price but did not have every feature that UltiPro had at the time we reviewed. Namely was great and innovative …
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    I think there are pros and cons with every system. UltiPro is better than some of the systems I have used in some areas, but there are still areas that other systems have outperformed UltiPro. I think it is important to be VERY clear with what the desired outcome is when …
    Incentivized
    Chose UKG Pro
    We compared Ultipro to several other competitors and to be honest the WOW factor just blew away companies like BambooHR, Paycom and Epicor. They were definitely not the cheapest solution, but in this case, you get what you pay for.

    ADP's Payroll is solid, but UI feels stuck in 2009. BambooHR is great for small teams; clean interface, quick set up, but just doesn't scale like UKG.
