Overall Satisfaction with Ascentis HR
We use Ascentis HR to house important information such as important dates, our employee handbook, our wellness program, mission & values, and other forms, guides & quick links. We also use it to do our annual evaluations/performance reviews. There is a company directory for easy access to names, emails, phone numbers, and titles. In addition to that, it is a one stop shop to view our pay stubs, benefit package, PTO balance/availability. It is easy to update our personal information online and it also removes any middle man when you have a life change such as a new address. Our company also utilizes the timekeeper for some employees who are hourly to track their time on the clock. Ascentis HR is used by our entire organization. Some of the business problems that it addresses are having a collective place to get any/all information that you may need, instead of searching for the correct person to get one piece of the information you need.
- The best thing about Ascentis HR is the fact that everything is in one place, one website. You don't have to recall multiple websites, usernames and passwords, etc. It also does it in a relatively organized way.
- Another great thing about Ascentis HR is is time keeping capabilities. It includes a punch clock, timesheet, and weekly summary. As well as some other features that we don't utilize. You can easily flip between previous weeks and current week to review the time for each period, as well as do custom ranges.
- The dashboard is very customizable with it's different widgets that can be used as it pertains to your company. For example, we use TinyPulse and were able to add a feed to our dashboard of all the different cheers that are being sent across our organization.
- Sometimes things can be a little clunky/difficult to navigate. For example, to view all of your pay stubs, you have to click multiple times to get to the "history" and then you can view a specific pay stub. But you can only view the details one at a time, as it takes you to a new page each time you choose one.
- The performance and development could see improvement. It seems to take you to a different website because it changes so much. It has its own inner catalog that cannot be accessed primarily through "Ascentis" - you will always be redirected to the Performance and Development site and have to navigate through there. You also can't back to the main Ascentis page once you go to Performance and Development without the use of a back button or just launching a new browser window and starting over.
- There can be a bit of a delay getting all of the widgets to load on the dashboard. It doesn't stop business or anything, and it's usually only a couple seconds, but it's long enough that there has to be a spinning timer for a second or so.
- I am unable to answer this question because I do not have visibility into the ROI for Ascentis HR.
- ADP
We used ADP before and it just didn't seem to do or offer as much as Ascentis HR. It was primarily a timekeeper and did house some personal information. It didn't offer as many features or create a "one stop shop" the way that Ascentis HR does. It's been a good choice.
