Overall Satisfaction with Ascentis HR

Ascentis was sold to us as a Cloud-Based, OFCCP compliant HCM system. It is neither. It solves no business problems in its current state.
  • It has performed well in producing 1094s and 1095s
  • The onboarding feature is good - not great - just good
  • Needs to be cloud-based NOW
  • Ascentis needs to develop their own products instead of cobbling different products together and telling people they developed them
  • Lose the words "hard coded" from your vocabulary
  • We were sold a product that was cloud-based - it is not cloud-based and is only accessible via remote desktop
  • Tabs are insane because everything "is hardcoded"
  • Hard to use - managers refuse to use for reviews again - cumbersome and not customizable for our needs
  • In my humble opinion, the product was oversold and under delivered
We selected Ascentis because as previously stated - we were shown/sold a cloud-based product - it is not. It is an electronic file cabinet with about as much intuition as a steel case file cabinet.
I would not recommend it and am currently seeking its replacement.
In its current state, I don't even want to use it.
