Overall Satisfaction with Ascentis HR

We use Ascentis as our HRIS, Timekeeping, and Payroll.

Pros

  • Our Project Manager was particularly helpful with implementation. She checked in weekly and was quick to respond when we needed additional help.
  • We appreciate the ease of report writing and the simplicity of the HR side.
  • We like having carrier connections available for our benefits enrollment.

Cons

  • Timekeeping is actually a separate platform and is clunky compared to the Ascentis side. We really wish the timekeeping piece was under the Ascentis umbrella.
  • Novatime is not user-friendly and, unfortunately, that is the part that employees and managers have to use.
  • Streamlined onboarding so we can spend more value-added time with new hires.
  • I'm afraid the timekeeping system will have a negative impact on our employee engagement and the internal customer service we provide.
We selected Ascentis for better customer service than we had with ADP.
We have only completed 2 payroll cycles and are still working to build out the performance management module. But so far our implementation team has been organized, knowledgeable and quick to respond.
NA - still with the implementation team.
The recruiting, onboarding and performance management modules meet all of our needs. It is easy to set up and easy to use.
I wish it were easier to modify the home page without having to "write code".
