Overall Satisfaction with Ascentis HR

[It's] Being used by the whole organization.

We use it as our HRIS system to track and manage employee profiles (job, dept, division, location info; personal contact info; compensation info; emergency details as well as a self-serve portal).
  • Simple UI platform
  • Ability to run reports and customize reports for various purposes - Report Manager component is easy to use
  • Option to view accrued time and breakdown of accrual calculations
  • Some errors in reporting data (i.e. location for employee set-up as Vancouver, however, report consistently pulls it as 'Undesignated')
  • Employee Manager keeps logging out.. not efficient with multiple log-ins (remote desktop separate log-in from EE Manager, Set-Up Manager, etc)
  • Simple UI leaves lots of rooms for error
  • Positive: Employees can access self-serve to view their leave times, record their upcoming leaves and update their personal information
  • Positive: Reporting - ability to run reports with ease
  • Negative: Errors in data capture has led to negative outcomes.
Have only called them a few times and they have been helpful.
- Great for running reports and pulling quick metrics
- Lots of room for error (i.e. delete a field and field still shows up... lots of bugs)
