Overall Satisfaction with Namely

We use Namely HRIS, Payroll, Benefits & Time across our whole organization. Namely has helped us tremendously keeping track of our COVID sick pay and have helped put our mind at ease with their knowledge of the CARES Act and their implementation to the program.
  • Signed documents are stored directly in the app.
  • Employees love how easy it is to submit PTO.
  • We have just finished setting up all our EDI benefits files and I love that it takes a lot of extra work off me.
  • Processing payroll is a breeze.
  • The biggest con I hear from employees is that their payroll check does not show pending the day before.
  • When a Workflow has been declined by any chain, the target's manager (the person who created the workflow) is not notified. This is a big problem for us.
  • Their ACA support is not the best. You call in and talk to someone about your issue and then they talk to Namely's ACA specialist and then they relay the answer to you. You do not get to talk directly to the ACA specialist so if you go back and forth with questions (like I did), it takes forever to get a problem solved.

Do you think Namely delivers good value for the price?

Did implementation of Namely go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Namely again?

Yes

  • The ability for employees and managers to get information on themselves and those who report to them without waiting on a response from someone.
  • Streamlined workflows that eliminate numerous emails and forgotten steps.
I have only used Thomson Reuters Payroll software and I had used this for over 15 years. So comparing the actual payroll software products, I would say Creative Solutions had much more flexibility in the reporting area, but Namely does so much more overall.
I love working with Namely. Namely time is my only complaint. Info from HRIS & payroll does not carryover.
Overall Namely does a great job and we feel that we definitely made the right choice.

Namely Implementation

Namely Support

Bryan at Namely Time is awesome to work with. I knew when I called him, most of the time, he knew the answer but if he didn't, he would figure it out and call me right back. ACA support people just lack the knowledge. Star at Namely Benefits is also great to work with.
