Overall Satisfaction with Ascentis

We use it across our whole organization as our payroll and paid time off program. It allows users to download/print their paystubs if they need to as well as submit paid time off requests via the app or webpage, rather than submit a piece of paper.
  • It is very easy to use whether it is viewing payroll information or requesting time off.
  • There seems to be a fair amount of updates to the system. It is nice to know Ascentis is continually updating their system.
  • Give enough notice of downtime so our users know what to expect.
  • I had to call them for support because an end user couldn't get logged into the Ascentis website (it was really slow, spinning wheel, sometimes it would work after 10 minutes, etc) and they couldn't really help me. I asked to have the ticket upgraded to tier 2 and never heard back from anyone. I ended up having to re-image the end users computer and then it finally worked again.
  • I can't say for certain, but overall it has been positive.
I've only used Ascentis.
I've only called them twice (for the same issue) and received mediocre help, although it was an odd issue. I ended up reimaging the laptop and Ascentis worked again. We were never able to figure out the root cause.
No, I only contacted them twice for the same issue. Sorry.
It seems to fit our small to mid-sized company very well. It allows end users to access their information without having to ask anyone else. I had an issue after one of the last updates where I couldn't view recently submitted PTO requests (immediately after submitting them) but that seems to have been resolved.
