BambooHR is a modern HRIS solution suitable for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with less than 300 employees. The software covers various HR functions at a competitive price, such as performance management, onboarding, and recruiting. BambooHR has a very user-friendly interface and offers an applicant-tracking system with superior functionality to other HRIS systems. In addition, the company invests heavily in customer support, with one of the highest-rated support teams in the industry.
The system is quick to deploy and easy to set up, making it ideal for SMBs. However, it may have limitations in terms of customization, and some modules, such as performance and time & attendance tools, are essential and do not allow for much flexibility. The BambooHR platform only recently started offering a benefits management tool, and some users still prefer to use a third-party tool for a complete HR suite. The integration capabilities are prioritized, but custom integrations can be challenging to build due to a lack of professional services resources.
BambooHR charges a monthly or quarterly subscription fee between $9 and $14 per employee. In addition, there is a one-time implementation fee of around 5-15% of the annual software fees.

The integration potential of UKG Pro has been notably enhanced in recent years, boasting open APIs and a broad selection of premade connectors. UKG Pro can be a global record system for international companies, but most of UKG's service teams are US-based.
Workday is a popular enterprise HRIS system that covers everything from payroll, benefits, and HR to recruiting, onboarding, performance, and learning. It is primarily designed for companies with over 2,000 employees and is known for its highly configurable system and approachable user interface. Workday is also a cloud-native platform with a unified product architecture, making it easy to build third-party integrations with other systems.
Despite being a robust and powerful HRIS, Workday is user-friendly and can help drive employee self-service. Workday has acquired leading technologies in talent management and provides robust functionality around performance management, employee engagement, compensation management, workforce planning, and succession planning.
For mid-market companies, Workday can be a hefty price tag. Its complexity necessitates the services of full-time consultants or HRIS managers for maintenance. Furthermore, its ATS lacks power and potency compared to third-party applications that talent acquisition organizations favor more frequently.
