Overall Satisfaction with Namely

We are a global organization and use Namely in our US office. I am an HR department of one and Namely has helped me streamline many of my processes, particularly onboarding, benefits enrollment, payroll, and performance management. It has also helped the HR department go paperless, which was a huge goal of mine.
  • Namely listens to feedback from its users and frequently makes updates to their technology based on that feedback.
  • Namley's all in one platform has made it very easy for our employees to know where to go for their HR information.
  • Namely provides robust educational content in their Help Community, which is very helpful when trying to trouble shoot issues and learning about the platform in general.
  • Namley's performance management platform is definitely an improvement from what our organization was using before, but I would like to see them invest in making some improvements to streamline and add functionality to that area.
  • They seem to have some very knowledgeable people on their customer support team. But sometimes it's the luck of the draw when you call for support and not everyone is so knowledgeable.
  • Employee self-service is a huge time-saver, especially for an HR department of one.
  • The goal setting feature has helped us have better alignment with individual and organizational goals.
Namely is much more user friendly than other HR and payroll products I've used. They also have much better integrations.
I think that no matter what, implementations can be challenging, especially for one person doing it alone. But overall, implementation with Namely went well.

I think Namely works really well for small to medium sized organizations, but could see where it might not be the best solution for larger organizations (over 500 employees).
