Overall Satisfaction with Namely

It is being used as our HRIS, benefits, and payroll system company-wide. It addressed the business problem of freeing up more of my time and tracking organizational changes.
  • HRIS tracking
  • Payroll
  • Consistent interfaces and tools.
  • Easy to use searches.
  • Job titles are very wonky in the system.

Yes

  • Definitely has saved time.
It went smooth.
It works, but there are many things that are inconsistent that bother me. For example, the job title section makes no sense. In onboarding, it's a search field, but everywhere else it's a long dropdown list. And why do job titles need to be an object rather than a text box? This is just one example of issue areas.
Namely is well suited for medium-sized companies.

Using Namely

2 - The training to support this platform is actually provided by Namely during onboarding. It typically requires data organization, payroll, benefit administration and other related HR skills to maintain Namely.
  • HRIS
  • Benefit Administration
  • Payroll
  • Data reporting for LOB Budgeting
  • Performance Feedback
It's a very solid product at a good price point.

Namely Support

Namely support has always been incredibly helpful and quick to respond to any and all requests that we have. There have been many times where I encounter and error (or cause one) that they are able to resolve within 2-3 hours. Honestly it is one of the most efficient services that Namely offers.

Quick Initial Response
None
We were transitioning a portion of the team to it's own LLC with relatively short notice. The support team was able to get me connected to the right people and get a project set up so we could make the transition ahead of schedule. In addition, the team checked-in on progress throughout the project to ensure it was succeeding. And this was even during the busy times of November - December.
  • Better Performance Management
