  • Employee Self Service is excellent
  • Notes, attachments to employee records are easy to use
  • Management self service is also well thought out, although we would like to see managers included in their own team calendar views.
Cons
  • We looked at the scheduling system available from Ascentis - in depth - it was almost what we needed for our paramedics, but not quite (NovaTime) - it would be great to move in that direction in the future.
  • A way to connect leave calendars to MS Outlook would be a wonderful tool.
  • The need to use remote desktop to get to Employee Manager and Setup Manager is cumbersome - people forget their passwords frequently - it would be nice to see Ascentis move toward web-based functionality for the entire thing.

Santis offers you everything in the sales call and delivers only a part of it. Implementation and often is unavailable to communicate with you at all for a long time

  • Making an extremely wide variety of reports available
  • Clearly and concisely relaying what their product can do for the company
  • Different tools were laid out in an intuitive manner on the interface
Cons
  • They have not been very responsive when we have had problems in fact sometimes it takes several weeks to get back to them
  • They promised us the moon and then we’re not able to deliver and everything they promised we had a specific need for some of the data which they said would be available and then they said it wasn’t available when we need it

  • Ease of use - Admin and User
  • Easy to learn
  • Everything in one location
  • Able to add links for other tools
Cons
  • Some features are still not available that are advertised - self upload of pictures, personal employee 3
  • Having Front and Back-end configuration. Some features only available on one or the other
  • Different point of contact for implementation/training verse having one person to work with

Ascentis is great and could be even greater with a few tweaks

  • I love the report generator in Novatime.
  • the way you can add as many journals to a payroll is especially helpful.
  • I like being able to generate a new temp password for an EE in HR.
Cons
  • I wish the system would automatically prorate mid-period pay changes for hourly EEs the same way it does for Salary EEs.
  • I'm trying to learn the Instawriter for custom reports and wish it was less complicated.
  • It would be helpful if there was a popup that told managers approving timesheets when an ee has close to or more than 24 hours for one day because they have forgotten to put PM instead of AM or vice versa.
