Overall Satisfaction with Namely

Payroll, HR functions. It's nice that employees have access to it but other than that to me it seems like a rushed program with no support. I feel like it's always out of sync when updating profiles. For me, it's hard to make changes. I feel like I spent nearly 80 hours on the phone (or waiting in queue) in the 2 years with them. Customer service can be great at times. In my opinion, it's not their fault the product is subpar.
  • Not
  • A
  • Thing in my opinion
  • In my opinion, every area especially HRIS and Payroll and ThinkHR syncing correctly.
  • I believe the interface is a mystery to most people.
  • Terminated employees have trouble accessing.

Do you think Namely delivers good value for the price?

No

Did implementation of Namely go as expected?

No

Would you buy Namely again?

No

  • Not worth the cost at all in my opinion
  • No time saved...more time spent on it I believe
  • I feel a waste of MONEY
In my opinion, the worst in every way. I have talked to other people that do payroll and they steered away from Namely and chose things like Paylocity or others.
Sucked...wasted hours in my experience.
As I said in the other categories I believe Namely is a huge time sink.
I feel I'd rather not waste any more time talking about how Namely is bad because I feel like I have wasted so much time using Namely.
