Overall Satisfaction with Namely

Our company is using Namely as our HRIS. We use this across the company. Namely houses of benefits, PTO, Timeclocks, HR information, and our primary source of storing company-wide documents.
  • Namely is incredibly End User friendly
  • Namely is ever changing to better themselves
  • The time system that is integrated with Namely is easy for team members.
  • Namely's support system is failed. They have attempted to fix this in the past year but still falls short of our previous system.
  • Namely is not timely in responses when support is requested
  • Namely previously had flaws in their Termination and rehire process. I haven't deal with their newest update yet.
  • Their frequent updates make it difficult to provide our team members with Quick Reference Guides to do tasks.
  • Namely does not have/provide Quick Reference Guides for End user and Admins.
  • Support with carrier feeds for benefits is painful and unresponsive.
  • Unless you have a serious coder on your team you will have to pay a premium for Namely to help you setting up the following years benefits. This was not the case with our previous HRIS.
  • During our one year stint we have had at least three 'whoops, someone on (Namely's) side clicked something they shouldn't of' with effected our Time and Payroll Production environments
  • Namely replaced a previous vendor. I am not privvy to ROI between the two.
Most recently Paycor. Paycor had a lot better support system with subject matter experts and consultants to be able to call or email at any time. Namely's time system is far superior and well as their PTO system.
We lead the implementation. Namely team didn't tell us all the things they needed until right before they needed them.
Namely is very end user friendly. They just need to work on the admin user side.
Namely is good for small simple companies. If there is an atypical structure of the organization it is difficult to org chart.
