Overall Satisfaction with Namely

Namely is the HR software we use for payroll, employee handbooks, org charts/employee profiles and benefits enrollment. It is currently being used across our entire organization and allows for more HR self-service (for example, the ability to update 401k withholdings without the need for our HR coordinator to get involved). As a growing company, having access to the company org charts makes it easy to keep up with change and putting a face to the name across the business.
  • Benefits enrollment - this has always been very straightforward and easy.
  • Interface - Namely is an extremely user-friendly software that can be picked up without the need for training.
  • Automated alerts through Namely are something that would be interested to see. For example, an automated alert if a new resource is added by our admin, or when a new document is available for the employee to view (i.e new paystub, new tax document).
  • It allows us to operate with a smaller HR department because documentation is organized within Namely and available for employees to self-serve.
Namely is more user-friendly than any other HR software I have used.
Consultants are available for onsite visits during especially stressful times, such as open enrollment.

Do you think Namely delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Namely's feature set?

Yes

Did Namely live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Namely go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Namely again?

Yes

If you are looking for a fresh, streamlined HR platform Namely is the way to go. We have also had consultants from Namely come out to help walk through benefits open-enrollment which Is beneficial if you are a smaller company that doesn't have the resources for these types of overviews/training.
