Ascentis Experience

I've seen other systems that are more compatible with other systems. Ones that send information to other systems that need to have updated Employee records,and that receive fully created profiles from the Applicant Tracking System used to find and select candidates, so all the new employee profile is fully done, automatically, when an employee begins. Ascentis, the way it is set up at my company, only imports a partially completed profile from our ATS.

We were moving away from ADP because the reporting was so bad. When we were being sold on Ascentis, we were sold on the fact that reporting was user-friendly and even shown how easy it was to run reports. Whatever we were shown is not what we received. The reporting is even worse than ADP's.

Our present system is a combination of manual and electronic records. We're still in the process of adding Ascentis features. Presently our applicant tracking system is done manually. Once recruiting and onboarding is implemented, human error will be reduced and tracking will be simplified.

InfinityHR and Ascentis HR are fairly similar in look and feel to the employee. I would say that the biggest difference is how they are for the HR team on the backside. Unlike Ascentis HR, InfinityHR gives a few different employee portals modules for the HR team to choose from and lets them customize it however they would like within certain limits. InfinityHR is also a web-based system, not a remote desktop like Ascentis HR. One of the more difficult things with InfinityHR though is that they performed an upgrade and it screwed up our security settings for the managers in the company. Ascentis HR most definitely has clearer cut security settings and way to track who has what and when. Another one of our issues with InfinityHR was that we could not attach documents or create any additional fields that could just hold text - any blank fields had to be drop down boxes.

ADP - is a system for enterprise-level companies for 100+ employees. With us being a small company Ascentis pricing and options seemed to line up for what we were looking for and had the custom options we were looking for.

Benefits have worked better with more flexibility. In general, the HR system allows you more options that you can change than the larger providers. Very flexible working with other payroll providers which is not the same for some of the other systems that I have used.
