BambooHR, the clear winner over UKG
Why do companies choose BambooHR over UKG?
HR built for clarity not complexity
UKG is still feeling pain from their 2020 merger and multiple acquisitions.
BambooHR is a people first platform built specifically to overcome the challenges of legacy solutions with multiple data sources and investors drive product decisions, not customers.
All in One HR without the overhead
UKG requires FTE overhead with customers covering the cost of new product feature testing before launch in a sandbox.
BambooHR ensures features are market ready from day one, so you can hit the ground running without surprises left off the price quote.
Superior Customer Support at One Price
UKG offers chat, phone and email support for a premium up charge, or standard round robin ticketing queues.
BambooHR includes best in class support from real people by chat, phone, and email for no additional cost.
“BambooHR constantly adds new features and refinements that Wistia uses to further streamline HR processes, strengthen company culture, and make informed business decisions. The velocity with which you release things and also how meaningful they are and helpful they are has been by far the best of any software company that I’ve used for HR, period.”
