## Namely Reviews

It is one of the best tool to take care of the services like Payroll management, employee centeric activities and employee management etc.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

Nothing much to dislike but more interactive console can be added to the tool.

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

Add more interactive console to the application

We can solve the issues of Payroll Management, Employee Management, Employee Onboarding, Employee recruiting and  Analytics.

**Official Response from Emma Riedl:**

> Thank you for your review! We really appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear that Namely's centralized platform has benefitted your company.

  ### 2. A Great HR and Management Tool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2021

**What do you like best about Namely?**

The ease of finding what I need on Direct Reports as well as managing hours.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

Not needing all the features, it frustrates me when during annual review time I can't find what my HR is telling me is there on my own.

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

Do it! It is a great program that helps manage company employees.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Direct Report hours.

**Official Response from Emma Riedl:**

> Thank you for your review! We really appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear that Namely has helped you manage your employees. 

  ### 3. Cumbersome UX, expensive plans, terrible service - avoid if possible

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 06, 2020

**What do you like best about Namely?**

Namely has a mobile app that is user-friendly

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

Having been on Namely for two years as a company then moving to Justworks, we are blown away by how much better Justworks is on almost every dimension. 

Namely's onboarding experience was onerous and because the HRIS didn't speak to Payroll, you have to do multiple manual steps (and duplicate steps) to get an employee fully onboarded in Namely.  Namely's UX is clunky and even things as simple as reporting are overly complicated. Their support was often unresponsive -- and the medical plans and pricing they surfaced to our team were atrocious. 

We made the switch to Justworks; while no platform is perfect, Justworks is leaps and bounds ahead of Namely on all the dimensions that matter most to us and our team (ease and access of service/support, competitiveness and quality of medical plans, overall pricing, UX, integration with payroll, ease of onboarding, etc). Justworks has A LOT of additional value-adds that make it unquestionably the better choice. We used Gusto back in the day and loved that platform as well - at the time, it wasn't offering benefits but now that it does I would reconsider Gusto as well.

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

Do yourself a favor and AVOID Namely. We made a costly mistake in choosing them for our relatively basic needs, as our company went from ~40-150 FTEs.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

HRIS, payroll, benefits management, reporting

**Official Response from Emma Riedl:**

> Thank you for your review! We really appreciate your feedback. We are disappointed to hear that you feel Namely wasn’t the right solution for your company and apologize for your negative experience.

  ### 4. Not functionally great if you are in Finance or HR. Would NOT recommend.

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2020

**What do you like best about Namely?**

I think from an employee perspective, the interface is ok, but that's it. It seems most of these positive reviews are from the employee perspective, and not the admin perspective where the most issues are from payroll or benefits admin.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

From Finance and HR perspective using for payroll and benefits admin, it's not a great product. There have been plenty of issues with the product and functionality. It almost results in more work. No product is perfect, but what makes it worse, is that their customer service is lacking. Which is a definite no no especially when dealing with payroll. Their contracting requirements "don't allow" you to remove the auto-renew clause, which we usually do for every contract we sign, but I think that just speaks to a poor product and service experience that they have to resort to legal language to maintain their customers... 

Things left to be desired:

Manual - wish there was some upload functionality to make changes to commuter benefits or to upload commissions
Netsuite integration pushes limited data - employee name, start, end date (missing department and class)
Change history (ie if I moved departments all historical data also moves to the new department)
Customer support 
Site is hard to navigate, simple things like picking check as payment is tough to find in their system

If you are the admin for Namely either in HR or Finance, this will be a difficult product for you to use.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

HRIS, payroll, benefits enrollment for very small companies. Not great when you scale over 100 people.

  ### 5. They failed at the critical payroll processing part

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2020

**What do you like best about Namely?**

UI is intuitive,  easy to use, and user friendly.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

Unfortunately Namely is unreliable and apparently does not know how to accurate handle payroll processing and W-2 filings. I worked at a company that transitioned from Namely in the middle of a tax year. Namely reported the income, which lead to double income reporting for me. Now I am being audited by the IRS and the error has gone uncorrected for a year. The IRS thinks I haven't paid taxes on my income and thinks IO have 2X income for that tax year.

Accuracy is paramount for payroll processing, and if your can't handle that correctly and accurately, you need to remove that feature from your app and leave that to professional organizations to handle such a critical role of people operations.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Not applicable

**Official Response from Emma Riedl:**

> Thank you for your review! We really appreciate your feedback and are happy you are satisfied with Namely's intuitive platform. We are disappointed to hear that you feel Namely wasn’t the right solution for your company and apologize for your negative experience.

  ### 6. Namely Review

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Casey R. | Vice President, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2020

**What do you like best about Namely?**

We like PTO tracking and performance management

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

Some things that are not able to be customized

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

Make a detailed list of expectations and make sure they are able to meet them.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

PTO tracking and performance management tracking. The ability to hold people accountable for their time off.

**Official Response from Emma Riedl:**

> Thank you for your review! We really appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear that you enjoy using Namely's PTO tracking and can utilize it for your employees.

  ### 7. VP, Finance

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2021

**What do you like best about Namely?**

Namely is very easy to use. Has changed how we do HR. Onboarding, performance & compliance handled with automation and analytics.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

The payroll reports including the custom general ledger report could be better.

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

HR Software that makes your HR proactive, data-driven and strategic in an easy way.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helping us with the HR , payroll and benefits functions.

**Official Response from Emma Riedl:**

> Thank you for your review! We really appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear that our platform has helped you revamp your HR processes.

  ### 8. Unacceptable Service and Functionality

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Daryl A. | Senior Director of Finance, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

We were drawn to the clean interface and onboarding tools within the program. The product still looks good, but that's about as much credit as I'll give.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

Our biggest issue with Namely was on the benefits administration side. Their demo team implied that our benefits enrollment was completed automatically, but what they meant was we enrolled electronically and eventually someone on their team would get around to submitting that information to our carriers. Unfortunately, this was rarely the case. Over the year that we were with namely we we onboarded approximately 30 new employees. Nearly 100% of those onboards had a serious problem with their enrollment. They were either never actually enrolled in the benefits that they selected or they were enrolled in the wrong plans. I was patient the first 3 times, the subsequent 6 just confirmed that we couldn't continue on the platform. We paid for their "managed services" which was supposed to provide us with additional HR support and attention. We didn't even receive the bare minimum. I had employees showing up to the doctor thinking that they had health insurance only to find out that they had never been entered into the system. We had several "come to Jesus" discussions about this and every time they promised to fully audit our account and that it would never happen again. Even now, with a week left on the platform, I discovered another failed enrollment.

Beyond that, they also have a poor record of timely filing our state payroll returns. Despite providing them tax id's and UI information in new states, Namely did not update information and failed to file several state returns. In one case it took us 5 separate attempts to get them to resolve the issue (Q3 2018...reached resolution May 2019). They showed zero initiative for identifying failure points within their system that would lead to these misses and then also asked for additional fees to file the corrected/late forms. If you're caught in this trap, refuse to pay those fees. 

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

The level or service to keep this product running isn't sustainable. You will likely have a very rough time.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Namely created many more problems than it solved. Their platform is almost entirely dependent on manual processes happening behind the scenes by undertrained junior professionals.

  ### 9. It was a good experience.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2021

**What do you like best about Namely?**

I like how user friendly the platform is.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

I dislike how it is unknown how long it will take our employees to get there benefits information such as group numbers and member IDs.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The onboarding experience is much better for our company since we are able to house all our important documents in the onboarding template.

**Official Response from Emma Riedl:**

> Thank you for your review! We really appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear that our user-friendly platform has benefitted your company—especially in regards to onboarding.

  ### 10. Namely Review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2021

**What do you like best about Namely?**

Onboarding new employees intergration with Jazz HR

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

Open enrollment needs to be easier to fix errors

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Recently had a payroll error that I needed help resolving.

**Official Response from Emma Riedl:**

> Thank you for your review! We really appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear that our platform has streamlined your recruiting and onboarding processes.

  ### 11. Namely is our payroll/HR system that we currently use at Omni Logistics.  It's such a great system!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Melida M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2020

**What do you like best about Namely?**

Namely has been improving more and more, I am glad to use Namely.  They listen to our recommendations which makes our lives easier at work!

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

So far no dislikes, we are able to reach out to customer service agents at any time.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Payroll and HR needs, we pay our employees on a timely manner every time.

  ### 12. Potential for really good technology, but there are major fundamental flaws and service is horrible.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2016

**What do you like best about Namely?**

The technology is very user friendly and easy to navigate.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

HRIS and Payroll are 2 distinct platforms that do not sync or play together very well. Emphasizing in my above comment that the technology SHOULD be able to address all of your HRIS & Payroll needs. Unfortunately, there are some very fundamental flaws that have been built into the technology that have made it inflexible. For example: i) employer-paid medical benefits cannot be based on a % of total premiums in the onboarding module, making open enrollment a manual process; ii) employer-paid insurance coverage can only be based on salary, not total comp - also making it a manual process for open enrollment and any time that comp changes for certain employees. We've had numerous issues with feeds for HSA and FSA accounts, as well as with the feeds to Namely's preferred workers' comp insurance provider. There are several other shortcomings, which in aggregate, make it seem like the technology was built by a team that had very limited experience in HRIS & Payroll. On the payroll side, we've had several issues with tax withholdings and filings for certain jurisdictions. It appears as though their Tax Dept is not very knowledgeable about certain jurisdictions (and we do operate in 1 of the largest cities in the country). Service response times are horrific. You can also talk to 3 different people regarding the same issue and get 3 different answers.

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

When vetting, be very specific about your benefit arrangements - ie, ER vs EE payments, how amounts are calculated, etc - as well as their capabilities with respect to your tax jurisdictions. Probably a good idea to request references from folks in your industry and same tax jurisdiction(s), if possible.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

On the whole, we have made our HRIS and Payroll processes much more automated and efficient on an ongoing basis. However, some of the drawbacks related to open-enrollment, payroll taxes and a few other issues have, at least in part, nullified some of the efficiencies that we have gained.

  ### 13. Easy to use, customizable HR Function tool

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Wing L. | Tax Director, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

Easy to use, easy to navigate, customizable and user-friendly interphase

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

Customer Support is a little slow to respond, especially when dealing with time-sensitive payroll questions

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

able to streamline payroll process

  ### 14. Love Namely for All Things Employee!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 28, 2020

**What do you like best about Namely?**

I love being able to see all information about each employee, birthdays, creating data and creating preferences.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

The creation of data took some time to understand.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am able to manipulate data in a specific way.

**Official Response from Emma Riedl:**

> Thank you for your review! We really appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear that you have found our platform to be so user-friendly and helpful.

  ### 15. Good Multi Purpose Tool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 07, 2021

**What do you like best about Namely?**

Daily visibility to colleagues at a distance

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

A little cumbersome on calendars and reviews

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

a platform for employee recognition, PTO mgmt and reviews

**Official Response from Emma Riedl:**

  ### 16. Namely review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Riyanka M. | Global Alliances and Partnerships, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2020

**What do you like best about Namely?**

It's an excellent software for managing all human resource related functions like payroll etc. The interface is very easy to use. Taxes too are so easy to compute.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

All in all a very good software with very minor looholes like timesheet manual data etc. Also the pricing could be a little less

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

Very well maintained software. interface is easy. Cost is more of less decent for mid sized companies

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

HR functions
Payroll
Employee Timesheet

  ### 17. Namely Review

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Market Research | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2020

**What do you like best about Namely?**

Namely is an user friendly software. Excellent for HRIS. Core HR work can be solved fast and easy

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

Pricing could be little less. When I used to use there were lot of technical glitches

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

Talent Acquisition management can be sorted
Payroll activities sorted

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Payroll

  ### 18. Namely helps small to medium sized companies provide a great experience and journey to employees.

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Adalia F. | Luxury Sales Associate , Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 04, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

Namely offers a completely central HRIS platform, which is essential for multi-location businesses. They run operations in Canada, the US and Europe, so they placed a lot of emphasis on making sure their HRIS could provide a consistent experience to their employees.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

Two weeks ago we asked for some price relief for a set of employees that don't get payroll or benefits admin through Namely - and we were told no. It's just bad after bad after bad. 

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

The members of my team who use Namely are problem solvers, not complainers, and every single one cannot wait to get off of this platform.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Benefits Administration and Payroll products are very bad. Be sure you ask to see these in detail when you're buying because they will mostly show you the glossy front end.

  ### 19. As an employee using it I like it

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sarah H. | Remote Health Coach, Oil & Energy, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

I like that I can use the mobile app and see my paystub right on my phone 

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

I haven’t had a problem with it, but management was saying that it is kind of difficult to administer on their end. But as an employee i personally like it a lot 

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

I think it can be a good option for a remote company like the one I work for 

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I like how everything HR related is all in one spot for me. Especially the paychecks and I was able to enroll in benefits through it. I also submit vacation requests and sick days through it.

  ### 20. Namely Review

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 17, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

I like that it is set up like a Facebook, or social media account. The UI is simple and it is easy to navigate, it is one portal for all human resource needs. I really like the time off calendar and how easy it is to request time as well as see when other people in the company are off. 

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

I dislike the notifications and how people's birthdays and work anniversaries flood my timeline, it pushes out more important statuses like when people are leaving the company or milestones. 

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

The time off calendar is the best feature of namely, makes it extremely easing to request, accept, and track time off. 

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

solving any HR related question that I would normally have to go to our companies HR person for I am able to answer myself within the platform.

  ### 21. Namely sucks!!!

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

System is easy to use BUT the customer service is terrible!!

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

They take 48 hours to get back to you no one ever returns your calls. I have over 700 employees and if you ask for any help they won't do it for you they will just show you. If you are a large employer stay away! You need a full time payroll person to deal with namely. The sales people will lie to you. Namely has only 1 way to upload payroll and it takes us 10 hours on a Sunday to complete so we can upload it in their system which is crazy.

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

If you have over 100 employees I don't recommend namely. If you are qsr company I really don't recommend it customer service is TERRIBLE!

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Nothing I'm leaving them don't recommend them we went through 4 account reps in 1.5 years.

  ### 22. Terrible Customer Service

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

The HRIS system was nice for 360 reviews and kept well with the PTO and anniversaries

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

The Payroll was awful.  I was getting past due notices from different states because they were not submitting taxes appropriately.  I was getting prompted to register for taxes in states that we did not need to file taxes or for 1099 contractors.  The customer service team took weeks to resolve issues.

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

Run far far away.  Find something else.  They are terrible at payroll.  If you want just for HR, then maybe you can try, but payroll is a terrible terrible idea.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

None now we have moved to a new system because of the poor implementation and payroll system.

  ### 23. Do your homework during the sales process - Namely is not what it seems

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 10, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

The UI / Facebook feel for remote employees to be able to interact/engage with each other

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

There is not enough space to list it all out.  The platform is NOT integrated so do not believe what they tell you in the sales pitch.  The customer service is terrible and we have had 4 or 5 account managers in 18 months

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

I would look elsewhere. This has been a two year nightmare. They just cannot seem to get it together.  And their product upgrades are not in the critical areas

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Honestly none. Namely has caused more problems for us than we had with ADP (which was awful).  Namely is not integrated so we do a lot of duplicative work and if you dont babysit the platform, errors will come up later that bite you in the backside. We have had issues with EDI feeds to carriers, issues with Benefits enrollments, onboarding and their PTO module is a joke.  And their supposed "experts" at the company cant answer simple questions such as "if a pay date falls on Jan 1 which is a bank holiday, will those funds show up on their 2020 W2 or 2021 W2?  It took over a week of back forth emails and the person did not even know what they were taking about. Unbelievable.  Even though the platform looks "pretty" - RUN!

  ### 24. I love the Namely mobile app

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

My favorite thing about Namely is the mobile app. They recently improved the app which allows me to request time off in a few clicks and view my paystubs if necessary. This is all I need for on the go or if I'm away from my laptop. 

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

My least favorite thing about Namely is the sometimes non-intuitive interface. When using Namely for performance reviews, the different sections were named similarly so it took extra time to find out where my reviews were located. 

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our org found a way to incorporate performance reviews, payroll, and time off requests into one. One of my favorite features is the org chart which is easy searchable and allows me to put a name to a face in a rapidly growing company. 

  ### 25. Very User friendly

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 31, 2020

**What do you like best about Namely?**

I like that namely is very user friendly although it has a lot complicated data. Namely makes it easy to navigate.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

Nothing majorly wrong but I just think the layout is outdated

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

There a lot of thinks we do through Namely like applying for benefits at work and apply for vacation time.

  ### 26. Buyer beware - Do not use for health insurance benefits administration

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

It's "OK". Not great at all. If I take out benefits admin it is just a HR platform of sorts, which ... I don't think carries much benefit.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

We've used Namely for 3 years or so. This past year, we switched our health plan offerings. Although they do a customized onboarding/intro for the company, and produce a packet, they failed to explain how one of the plans is "tiered" so the advertised deductible was not necessarily valid. I ended up living in an area where there are ZERO "maximum savings" providers, so everything I need insurance for is at the second tier. It made my choice of plans the MORE expensive choice, and had I known I would have selected a plan with a higher deductible/less out of pocket. When brought to the HR person and SVP of Operation's attention, neither of them had been made aware any of our plan offerings were tiered. When I complained to Namely (since i cannot change plans in the middle of a year), their defense was that it was in the plan details guide created by the insurance company - not their custom guide or presentation. There were no apologies, and no retributions or offerings made. They should not be licensed to sell insurance if they are not knowledgeable in how to explain the plans they are brokering. Further, updates to home addresses etc aren ever communicated back to the insurers, which is a problem.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's an "all in one system" but that seems to be about the only benefit.

  ### 27. So easy to use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

It's so intuitive - there isn't a learning curve or confusion in where to find things

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

I wish we were able to customize our home screen to view specifically what we want and where we want it.

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

If you are looking for a one-stop shop that is intuitive, Namely is the one to go to!

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A place to view new hires, org chats, request time off and check vacation, comp, etc. One stop shop make all of these things easily viewable.

  ### 28. Don't Do It

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 30, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

The HRIS front end is good for onboarding and employee information management.  And the Analytics tool is a major upgrade (because they implemented Looker's product instead of building something themselves). The native Namely reporting is really really bad - it cannot even sort dates correctly. 

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

enefits Administration and Payroll products are very bad.  Be sure you ask to see these in detail when you're buying because they will mostly show you the glossy front end.  The part your teams actually needs to work in is pretty terrible and very poorly tied together.  We are constantly finding things that Namely needs to fix, and they usually don't fix it correctly the first time. 

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

y People Ops team has gone to extraordinary efforts to fix a number of things.  The service we receive and the quality of follow through is horrible.  I would give Namely a 0 every day of the year, but this week's particular issue is that after a recent Open Enrollment period only about half of employee deductions were being made - despite TWO separate confirmations from my team with Namely that everything was setup.  And that was AFTER Namely set the deductions up wrong in the first place.  Two weeks ago we asked for some price relief for a set of employees that don't get payroll or benefits admin through Namely - and we were told no.   It's just bad after bad after bad.  The members of my team who use Namely are problem solvers, not complainers, and every single one cannot wait to get off of this platform. 

  ### 29. Good for small to mid size companies

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gaurav D. | Sales Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

Lots of custom fields to track different employee profile attributes.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

Reporting functionality is limited. PTO tracking could be better.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking employee goals. Previously this was being done in Excel spreadsheets on a share drive.

  ### 30. Great and easy tool to use for time off requests 

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

I have used other HR software in the past to request time off or view different benefits that have been difficult to understand. Namely is easy to navigate and fast to load! Communication with my manager about my days off or work from home days was made easy using this tool. 

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

I disliked the calendar layout it was a tad confusing to book days off because it would look like you were taking two or three days when you were taking less, but that easily could have been my own user error 

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

It is a great product that is easy to use! 

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was able to track my time off, plan for future trips, view my benefits, and effectively communicate with my manager about all of this using Namely. The interface was nice, clear and easy to use. Everything was organized in a way that made sense and I never had to ask any questions about using the product.

  ### 31. Good formatting

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rachel P. | Research Associate, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

The formatting is simple and easy to use. Features are clear and easy to find. 

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

I wouldn't mind if the calendar formatting was changed so that it was easier to read, or if the timesheet card auto populated.

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

I would recommend implementing it.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used it mostly to record our time for our timesheets. It makes it easy to review the time period and check for errors. 

  ### 32. Customizable

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

I love their reporting section. There are so many different things to pull and its really easy to pull whatever information you need. 

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

(This is prior to their new customer service portal so I can't speak to that, but this is from my experience over the last year). It takes weeks to get an answer to a question from the customer support team, and usually involves me sending multiple emails in a row asking for an update on the question or problem. This is frustrating.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

East to use to keep employee profiles up to date. 

  ### 33. I like feeling seeing my  benefits, pto and pay statements

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 03, 2020

**What do you like best about Namely?**

Being able to send off my PTO requests in real time and the convenience of using the platform to do so.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

I don't dislike anything yet.So far so good!

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am not having any trouble with Namely.

  ### 34. Limited but acceptable

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Susannah S. | VP, People and Culture, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

Namely offers a nearly one stop shop for basic HRIS functions. Its UI is one of its greatest assets, as is its performance review function. It also offers a pretty robust onboarding tool.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

Namely’s customer service and response time has declined steadily since the founding of the company. Also, its data import tool is clumsy and inflexible. Additionally, product enhancement requests are usually not considered or at least not acknowledged. 

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have managed to implement a regular performance review process which is great. And also the onboarding process for us has been rendered much more efficient. 

  ### 35. An HR tool that can be used by everyone

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

All things related to HR: holidays, time-off requests, org chart, and performance reviews can all be accessed and executed easily through Namely.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

So far, there isn't anything that I dislike.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

One stop solution for all things related to HR. I no longer need to go into Google Drive or any other repository or thread to gather necessary information.

  ### 36. All in one place!

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 02, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

I like that Namely combines the capabilities of a lot of the difference softwares that we have been using. It has the salary and payroll and benefits information we had via ADP plus the feedback and reviews aspect of Reflektive. This means that come November when we do our next round of performance reviews, it will be easier to directly compare our performance with our compensation.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

I don't like that the time cards and the time off requests are in two separate locations. It makes it harder to track weekly hours. 

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are making our HR application more user friendly with Namely, which I think makes our payroll and benefits information more accessible. 

  ### 37. The All in One HR Software for the Future

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Adam S. | Media Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

The fresh, youthful interface of Namely is very appealing. It integrates all aspect of HR management into one easy to use package.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

We have experienced some issues with employees accurately requesting vacation time and administrating days off. After a few instances, we have learned how to best handle those requests through Namely.

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

If you need the total HR management setup, you will not be disappointment with Namely. It does well with managing benefits, hours, and administrating every other HR related task we’ve needed it to do.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Namely has helped to integrate all HR needs into one all inclusive platform. It has drastically cut down the time it takes for us to handle all HR related items.

  ### 38. Impressive Platform but Rough Payroll Transition

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** R M. | COO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 17, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

We just switched to Namely from Paycom. The platform is fantastic. I LOVE the mobile app for pay stubs and PTO approvals. 

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

We've switched payroll / HRIS four times over the past 18 years. Until now we've never experienced a problem with payroll not being transferred and setup properly. Our experience with Namely has not met expectations. We have had several issues. It has been difficult to manage and take significant time from our HR team. Not to mention that our 100 employees are not getting paid correctly. FRUSTRATING. 

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

Two things. 1) Make sure you understand payment terms. We were used to paying for our HRIS semi-monthly as part of our payroll. Namely wanted us to pay quite a bit in advance. 2) Don't trust that your data is setup properly. We were assured it was, but it was not. Our first payroll had dozens of errors.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Payroll. PTO tracking. Employee workflow (promotions, raises, etc). Performance management. HRIS. Manager approvals. Benefits administration. Lots more.

  ### 39. Namely is best for a small business without a lot of HR needs.

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 07, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

It's easy for non HR employees to use. Their onboarding for new hires integrates with Greenhouse (somewhat). 

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

There is no easy access to EEo1 reporting. As an HRIS, that's a huge drawback. Also their customer services is very lackluster. A lot of "I'm sorry about your experience" and when I had a problem with an intergration, they advised me to make a workaround on the other site rather than fixing the problem on their end. I


**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

If you are a small business who plans on growing into larger than 300 members, find a more robust HRIS

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's our first HRIS, so it makes our reporting easier and it allows employee info to be kept in one place.

  ### 40. Easy to Use

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Market Research | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

I like that all of my tasks are in one app - PTO, Paystub, Benefits, etc. I like that I can see birthdays and anniversaries. I like that I can see names and the office that they work in. 

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

There isn't any thing I really dislike about Namely - I would like to customize the home landing page

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having all my information all in one place. Benefits is not having to access my info in several apps.

  ### 41. Easy to use modern platform

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

Its a clean and fairly easy to use system.  The reporting and analytics can be easily customized.  

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

The separate platforms between payroll and HRIS systems.  The reporting on payroll isn't as easy as HRIS. 

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Keeping track of all employee data and compensation in one handy system is great.  

  ### 42. Great HR Software - Everything in One!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

The best thing I have found about Namely is the ability to track PTO, WFH Days, and the calendar function that shows all of that plus birthdays and anniversaries. 

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

It can sometimes be cumbersome to find the specific things I am looking for. It's not always clear under which category you will find something. 

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

Definitely use the Benefits Administration, it has saved us a considerable amount of time and headaches. 

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were having a very difficult time tracking time off, we didn't really have a procedure prior to adopting Namely. Employees would have to submit time via email to HR and it was not a great way to track. It has cut down significantly on time and accuracy. An employee can easily see how much time they have earned and how much they have taken. It has also SIGNIFICANTLY cut down on our time for benefits administration. 

  ### 43. Namely for the Win 

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

I love the payroll function for Namely.  It is user friendly, accurate, and reliable.  I also love working with a dedicated payroll rep each payroll cycle to help make things run smooth and efficiently! 

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

There are some missing features on Namely, like the ability to have recurring monthly deductions versus deductions each check.  I would also like to see some improvements to the performance management system.  

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are solving efficiency issues at our organization.  Within one year of using Namely, we have been able to focus on writing new policies and implementing training that we did not have time to complete before.  We are also solving key man risk issues, because our dedicated reps know our business and would be able to help other employees if our department was unavailable for any reason.  

  ### 44. Namely Review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 23, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

The ability to access my pay stubs and W-2s.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

The fact that everybody in the company can see my information.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Finding out who someone is at work and what they do here. Accessing pay stubs when applying for a mortgage loan.

  ### 45. HR efficiency 

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

Namely is a great tool to have in any organization. It will help your operation cost and streamline HR processes. I enjoyed the dashboard, all important information is easy to access and the messaging function is an easy way to communicate with HR or Namely Admin. 

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

When I had to do revisions to my benefits it was a hurdle, I had to wait on our Admin to update my profile. But as soon as it was updated, doing the revisiions was easy. 

**Recommendations to others considering Namely:**

I do not have any current recommendations. I like the tool and features.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Namely has helped our organization streamline HR process and easy for our employees to access their tax documents, benefits, PTO requests and etc. I have heard more positive responses from our members than negative ones.

  ### 46. Decent, gets the job done

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

Once your company shows you the ropes it's really easy to navigate. It's awesome for keeping track of your pto and your employees requests as well. Great org chart too. 

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

Wish there were more things on the profile within the org chart that made it easier to get to know someone, know their strengths. 

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's really been easy to know who is out of the office by checking the calendar. The feature I use daily. 

  ### 47. Namely Review

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

Namely is the easiest way to submit off for PTO as well as see which holidays your company gives employees off for.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

There is nothing in particular that comes to mind as it relates to Namely. Overall I would say keep up the great work.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am solving the problem of being able to track my paid time off as well as my benefits information is contained in Namely.

  ### 48. There is better

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

I like how clean the site is. Very easy to read and find information on employees

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

The reporting function is very difficult. It does not do everything we need. It also does not seem to have the option to actually show the bonus structure that each person has. 

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am able to view information on employees to be able to serve them better as they progress within the company. 

  ### 49. A really convenient HR resource to connect employees

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

It's an all-in-one HR tool where any documents can be accessed, holidays can be seen and PTO van be requested.

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

There's not much to dislike, I think my company could utilize it more.

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It makes communication between HR and employees easier, I like that it's intuitive and no one seems to have a problem using it.

  ### 50. Run

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jordan M. | Technology Advisor, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2019

**What do you like best about Namely?**

The platform looks sleek and modern and they try to help but the system just insn't able to accomplish some basic benefit configurations

**What do you dislike about Namely?**

Everything...the implementation was terrible and they over promised and under delivered in the sales process

**What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were trying to have an all-in-one platform but at the end of the day implementing Namely created more problems
