Overall Satisfaction with Namely
We are using [Namely] for Human Resources, payroll, and timekeeping. All salary and hourly employees use it for viewing pay stubs and to complete their benefits open enrollment and viewing and updating personal or benefits information. All hourly employees use the time portal along with managers who approve hourly time.
- Easy interface for employees
- It looks nice from the employee perspective
- People like the birthdays and anniversaries
- Not being able to make a correction to deduction without voiding out a check and reissuing it. Crazy.
- Reporting in the system is painful.
- Time Keeping is limited and hard to make set up changes without Namely support
- I have to take a lot of time to create workarounds to make the system workable
- ADP Workforce Now, ADP ezLaborManager, UKG Pro (formerly Ultimate Software UltiPro) and Datatrack Eclipse CMS4
I did not select Namely. I inherited it. My predecessors chose it because they thought it "looked good" and that employees would like it. ADP and Ultipro are both better. Namely might be fine for 50-100 per some employers, but it gets painful beyond that point.
