Ascentis HR review-- Not my first choice.
- Automatic file feed-- we set these up to automatically feed to our benefit system. This has worked particularly well, as we were able to increase the frequency when we were rapidly hiring. This allowed employees to set up a benefit account more quickly and sign up for benefits in a more timely manner.
- Keeps track of the date and person that made the last change in Asecntis. It doesn't say which field, but it has the date and person that made the last change on the given employee information tab.
- Keeps the history of compensation and job history well.
Cons
- The product is accessed through a remote desktop. This makes the product extremely slow. So slow sometimes, that the reaction time lags so much that it isn't worth it to make any changes in the system.
- The bonus and performance modules are not conducive for a successful performance management campaign. There are so many unique situations in our organzation, that these modules can't keep up with all of the intricacies.
- The support staff has given misguided advice. Perhaps they need to be trained better?
- We have two different company names, so in the system, we have to select the correct company name in order to view that company's information. It makes it difficult for running reports for the entire organization because you have to run one report in one company code and then select the other company code to run an identical report and then combine the two reports in order to run a report for the entire organization.
