Overall Satisfaction with Ascentis HR

Support is timely in resolving issues, answering questions and providing guidance. Ascentis Community is also a valuable tool.
Ascentis HR is used as the HRIS system by the HR department in our organization. It manages all relevant employee information, benefit administration (including COBRA), reporting, and employee self-service. It has significantly cut down maintenance of paper files and enables employees to complete HR-related items on their own with less hand-holding, allowing HR to be more productive with time.

Pros

  • Ascentis HR is a user-friendly HRIS. From the ease of customization to fit our needs to utilizing the features already built in, Ascentis helps us to remain organized, reduce errors, and maintain compliance. It also is user-friendly for employees via self-service including distributing updated documents to employees, making changes to personal information, and streamlining benefit enrollments.
  • Ascentis HR offers quality customer support for the HRIS including the Ascentis Community website which offers up-to-date webinars, processes, and educational materials to remain proactive in assisting administrators in using the system.
  • Ascentis HR's reporting feature offers pre-built reports to help maintain compliance which is a time-saver. Another positive is the customized reporting option which is easy to use and can pull any information that is housed in the system into an organized report.

Cons

  • We use the applicant tracking, payroll, time keeping and additional modules offered by Ascentis HR. It would be helpful to have less logins to keep track of and offer one single sign-on feature for all systems.
  • Based on our use of Ascentis HR, there aren't a lot of cons or missing functionality. However, the other modules offered (such as the applicant tracking system) can use improvements.
  • Reduction of paperwork saves time and money in maintaining paper files.
  • The integration between Ascentis HR and other modules (payroll, time, etc.) has saved significant time in maintaining employee information including new hires, terminations, address changes, benefit enrollments and more.
From the well organized and timely implementation to now, I cannot think of a time when Ascentis HR has not provided support as needed.
Ascentis HR meets our needs for an HRIS, so I would recommend like companies (similar in size) to evaluate to see if Ascentis HR would be a solution.
