Overall Satisfaction with Ascentis

This is used by our entire company for personnel records and payroll. We also utilize the learning and talent management modules. It helps to distribute online learning capabilities built by our staff development department. Tracks training renewal needs. It keeps our employees records, both dat and documents.
  • NovaTime/Timekeeper reports are easy to access and use
  • Constant improvements
  • Duplicating document uploads when using ESS
  • Web interfacing ability to run ESS data reports
  • Employee termination requests don't process correctly with web interface
  • Random system time-outs while using the platform.
  • Lag time creates issues with time management for completing specific actions
  • Duplicate document uploads cause exception error and Ascentis has to be reloaded and logged into again.
  • Easy for supervisors to access all their employees information all in one place
Very responsive but not always able to resolve the issues.
