Overall Satisfaction with Ascentis HR

Our implementation team was fantastic. Afterward, I think there were growing pains at Ascentis. Some reps did not have the answers. Support is quick to respond, and turnover is better.
We use Ascentis HR by the entire organization. There are 3 administrators, and all employees use Employee Self Service. Employees use ESS to view/change benefits and personal information. They also view pay stubs there. Prior to downsizing, we used it for open enrollment. As an administrator, I use it for reporting and research.

Pros

  • Ascentis HR was invaluable when we conducted layoffs. The database provided us with necessary information to make appropriate severance decisions.
  • Ascentis HR is very useful in providing information for verification of employment requests.
  • Ascentis HR is useful in providing census information for annual open enrollment.

Cons

  • We experienced difficulty with Carrier Connect feeding properly.
  • COBRA reporting seemed cumbersome.
  • Benefit deduction tables are cumbersome when using age rates. The employer portion is not available to include in the total when a participant chooses family coverage - we must do manual calculations and hard input into payroll.
  • The cost for modules used is reasonable.
  • High ROI during reduction in force activities.
Ascentis seemed more geared toward small to mid-size companies, and the pricing was better.
Our payroll 'go live' event. We were doing final preparations during Christmas and New Years holidays, and Ascentis was available 24/7.

Well suited for larger companies.

Less appropriate for small companies such as those with age rated benefits. The open enrollment setup is more labor intensive than necessary when you have a small group.
