Overall Satisfaction with Ascentis HR

Responsiveness is lacking to say the least. Everything takes an extraordinary amount of effort and follow up to get anything done.
We are using it across the organization, mostly for our salaried population. We use HR, Recruiting, Talent Management.
  • Recruiting system
  • Onboarding system
  • When we are able to get dedicated representatives it works better
  • It takes an act of god to get a new user added
  • The implementation team basically pushed off all of the work and were more concerned over wrapping up the project than getting things done right.
  • No formal project plan for implementation
  • We were promised a system that was flexible and would suite our needs but it doesn't come close.
  • Performance system is a nightmare. Won't print everything you enter. Users would save their reviews and the info would disappear. They would have to start over.
  • Negative. We have wasted money and alot of time implementing a system that doesn't work.
  • Positive, Recruiting has improved candidates and Onboarding has saved the HR team time.
We are evaluating WorkDay and Ascentis can't even compete.
No, I have had great support with the recruiting and onboarding modules from Austin.
Might be good for a really small company with 100 people or less. The system can't keep up with our needs. The onboarding system and recruiting modules are great but the Talent Management module falls very short of what companies need.
