Overall Satisfaction with Namely

Namely is being used to manage Human Resources at the company I'm working for. So it is used by the whole organization all around the world. It works very well by only focusing on HR to make everything is easier and more convenient. It is better than the previous solution the company used, Oracle ERP.
  • Very good UI.
  • It's in the cloud. I can access it from everywhere without VPN.
  • The mobile app for iOS and Android. It also has good UX and UI. I love the push notification.
  • As a user with an employee role, I'm not unhappy with Namely.
  • Easier for employees to access and request an absence.
  • It saves time for users with good UI and UX.
I was using the self-service function of Oracle ERP (very old version) before. But Namely, as I mentioned, it has better UI and UX. Its performance is faster than Oracle UI. Namely is a cloud app vs Oracle ERP is a local app. It is very inconvenient to use a VPN each time I wanted to access Oracle ERP as it's only compatible with IE but not Firefox or Chrome. Now, it's awesome to use a cloud app to access Namely from everywhere with any browser or mobile app.
Namely will be a good replacement for older HR management systems, especially for large companies or global corporations. I believe it will make their employees happy with the ease of tasks like requesting a day off, following company news, etc. Namely is good at HR management and some other functions, however, if the company is small with fewer employees, you should reconsider using Namely. If you don't think all of Namely's functions will be used by your organization then you should balance the cost and the benefits. If your company would like to make the HR system private, so it can only be accessed from a local network and employees are forced to be at the office or inside the VPN to access the system—Namely is not for you.
