Dissappointed **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** The concept of everything working together - HRIS, Payroll and Benefits. I say concept because in March it will make it a year since implementation and we are still working out issues. **What do you dislike about Namely?** The lack of training their personnel has from implementation to the service center. Their management does not follow up when issues occur either. FYI: A normal task that any other payroll provider does they do not: they do not print the W-2s or 1095s, the client has to print and distribute. I would advise a person with more than 5 years of experience and has their CPP should handle the implementation because I can see a ton of things falling through the cracks such new hire reporting, group term life taxable income, child support and much more. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Not sure I can say I would. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Namely, can assist w/the administration of the benefits, using the carrier feeds, which is very beneficial for a one person team -HR/Benefit/Payroll department. On-boarding is very useful as well as long as everything is working. ### 2. It's an okay HRIS **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 17, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** It's good to look up all the employees within the company. Easy to see which team people are in. **What do you dislike about Namely?** Doesn't allow to export list of employees as a regular user and exporting an organization chart. Wished we can expand the list of new hires/birthday/anniversary on the right side of the dashboard. Wished there are more feature and functions. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's good to look up all the employees within the company ### 3. is a tool for very practical for time management, easy access information of benefits **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** veronica s. | It is a very useful tool to implement because we help you update the documents and handle them, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** It is a very practical tool because it allows you to administer in a very useful way the accumulated permissions and to keep track of all the schedules that the manager has of his direct reports. What facilitates the work and performance of the same **What do you dislike about Namely?** some of its functions are quite limited, for example its customization can be a little tedious to handle, besides this lacks an adequate automatic sicronization process **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** is a very useful tool because it allows you to manage the work schedule for managers in a more practical and useful way ### 4. I love Namely! It has all features for daily use. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** Using Namely in m current company. Namely can be installed on phone, it has a phone app. It records leaves, performance appraisals can be filled. **What do you dislike about Namely?** Phone application does not seem easy to use. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can view co-workers upcoming birthday's and work anniversaries. We can wish them on time, in advance or can plan a surprise. ### 5. HR Facebook **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sarah L. | HR Recruiter, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** Fun product that is fairly easy to use. Great for sharing updates within the company. Onboarding is pretty easy. Easy for end users that are not in HR. **What do you dislike about Namely?** Reporting is not very user friendly. We found it challenging to get the metrics we wanted. The teams go pretty cluttered and messy. They were hard to maintain. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Internal Communication was improved. Employee self service was improved. ### 6. Least efficient HR software **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paige K. | People Operations Coordinator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** The user interface is nice and clean. I like the analytics function. **What do you dislike about Namely?** The various parts and systems don’t “talk” to each other or automatically sync, so there is far too many manual processes. It just adds a step to our processes instead of actually solving anything. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Only good for small companies with basic processes. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ease of pulling reports. ### 7. Namely makes my life easy! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** Namely makes it very easy for me to perform important administrative tasks for my team. **What do you dislike about Namely?** I wish Namely would send notifications when a raise has been approved to the manager and then give the manager the option to push that raise notification to the employee. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Namely solves and streamlines all of our processes into one easy to use software where time off can be submitted as well as raises and promotions. ### 8. Good intro level HRIS **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** Namely makes it easy to view org charts, view pay stubs, and the SSO feature makes it easy to login from GSuite **What do you dislike about Namely?** My company recently used Namely to do reviews, and the process was not intuitive or easy. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Makes it easy to handle most HR functions in one place ### 9. Multi-featured, useful but getting bloated **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 31, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** Being able to look up my colleagues, checking my paystub and the mobile app experience overall. In general, this is a very solid HR application **What do you dislike about Namely?** The desktop UI is clunky and should be more tailored to the main use cases, The workflows could be improved and be made more intuitive **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Very feature rich and gets more useful as your company grows beyond 100 employees **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Visibility into compensation history, employee paycheck visibility, tracking time off and giving employees more visibility ### 10. Namely - the way forward **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospitality | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 09, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** The system was very easy to navigate. I have actually referred it on to two company's I have worked for since. I liked that each candidate/employee has their own profile and is very clear. Its modern and fresh. When we had our performance reviews it was all available 24/7 and was uploaded instantly. **What do you dislike about Namely?** To be fair - not very much. As I stated it is far superior to other similar systems I have used. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Its very adaptable to your business needs. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** When I worked at Deliveroo - before all annual leave balance was calculated via a finance spreadsheet before Namely was implemented. It provided clarity when it was needed. ### 11. Good simple HR tool. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nick M. | Salesforce Administrator, Construction, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** This is a good simple HR tool. Once you figure out how to add employees to their managers it is pretty smooth sailing. You can set up notifications for when employees want to use PTO. **What do you dislike about Namely?** This doesn't integrate into Salesforce. The hierarchy of how you relate employees to managers is a little funky once you have more than one person in an approval process. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Simple to use and setup but fairly limited on customization. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Doesn't integrate to Salesforce. It's simple enough to use that our less tech savvy employees have figured it out. ### 12. Namely has all the necessary functions for HR management in an Global organization **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Xuân Thành N. | Software Development Manager, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** Easily configure the system to fulfillment our business need related to the HR management. Beside of the user friendly core HR function such as Employee Profile, Compensation, Goal and Performance Management, etc... , the Time Off Management is powerful to give the flexibility of configuration following different locations' law and policy. By using this Namely, we can create necessary kinds of Time Off for each of company site, which our former system cannot support. Namely also provides a list of API which can be used to integration with other system, i.e. synchronizing the Employee Profile to our cloud based ERP system **What do you dislike about Namely?** Namely supports the built-in connection to NetSuite for synchronizing the Employee Profile, however it does not support the NetSuite custom fields, and it cannot be used because of that. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Namely is a good choice for a cloud based HR management. Their support is also amazing to help configuring the system following the business needs **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a Global Company, there is a need to centralize all function of HR management, Goal and Performance Management, Time Off management in one system but still following each local site's law and policy. As well as being able to integration the HR system into our ERP. And Namely is a good choice for our problem ### 13. getting there **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 18, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** I really like the look and feel of namely. I like their onboarding platform, the workflows and how easy it is to run payroll in namely. I'm also excited for their new insights features. **What do you dislike about Namely?** They are still clearly building the product out and some features are still missing, especially on the payroll side. Their performance management software needs help also. It is a little too restricted and rudimentary. I'm willing to stick with it because overall it is a good product. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Test out the product and get clear about the features you need to ensure it meets all your needs. Build a good relationship with the service team. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Payroll and HRIS ### 14. Easy to use time clock **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** I can have access from home and in the studio. **What do you dislike about Namely?** I’m relatively new to it. So far, I haven’t had any issues. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** It makes signing in easy and I can use the app for direct deposit. ### 15. It’s great! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** The facefront of the website is very friendly and welcoming. User friendly **What do you dislike about Namely?** Not everything in one place. Could add timesheet and paystub under one tab or under the same category. It times out super fast. Timecard should be updated to be entered weekly rather than checking and out every single time. (Needs major update) **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** To track my working hours, paystubs and request PTO. It is great to have all my personal work info under one service ### 16. Namely is our intranet for the whole company **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael K. | Project Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2018 ### 17. Namely is a great service for virtual employees! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 02, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** I use Namely to view my weekly time sheet and time card and overall profile. It is smooth and efficient and very user-friendly. I like the overall set-up of the site and the easy to find tabs on the side. **What do you dislike about Namely?** I don't have any specific dislikes for this service. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** I find it beneficial for organizing my virtual employee profile and time sheets. ### 18. Namely is easy to use! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** I love the ease of use and reporting capability! **What do you dislike about Namely?** Not sure if I can customize some reporting however I have not asked yet so that option may be available. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Use for your timesheets! **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using Namely for our payroll and it has saved us so much time! Our supervisors now have more time to spend with their employees. As well we are doing much more communication with our remote staff. ### 19. Namely **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** I love the ease of use when using Namely. It is very easy to learn and start working on. Wether it is viewing your payroll reports or requesting time off. It allows you to quickly see org charts and know who you might need to reach out to in different situations. **What do you dislike about Namely?** I can't really say anything bad about Namely. Overall its been an enjoyable experience and there hasn't been any bad run ins with it. I recommend using Namely and can't find anything I dislike at this time with the product. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Very easy to use. Streamlines process and gives you easy access to payroll, hr, and benefits. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Namely allows me to request PTO, view my paycheck, review the company org chart and see how our company is organized. Allows me to access information with ease. ### 20. Best suited for small startups **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 29, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** Good user interface and layout for an employee **What do you dislike about Namely?** Payroll and HRIS are not integrated so everything requires double work which is not scalable with a large number of employees **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows us to manage employees core HR needs so that we can focus on other things. ### 21. Namely meets a variety of needs **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joel G. | Office Manager, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** We use Namely for various aspects of HR: onboarding, performance review, time off, benefits administration, and payroll. Having these functions in one system is very helpful. The Namely support team is responsive to issues. The company has grown since we signed on with them in 2015, and they have provided excellent service. **What do you dislike about Namely?** Not much to dislike. We have had turnover in our main rep, as Namely has grown through the years. Also, open enrollment requires significant effort by Namely to run each year. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Definitely a strong option to consider **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Employee onboarding, performance review, time off, benefits administration, and payroll ### 22. Namely hits and misses **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 04, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** Overall, the Facebook-like feed is intuitive and the overall design (albeit simple) is effective. **What do you dislike about Namely?** The UI within specific modules or applications are not very strong. The performance management module is particular is difficult to use and provides some UI challenges. For example, I worked on a review and clicked Submit Signatures. I wanted to edit the review so I clicked "Amend Review." I made some updates to the review. I had the review with the reviewee but he could not see my comments (I had the setting "xxxx" set so he can view comments. From the reviewee POV, the status said that "the review has not been submitted." The only way he could see my responses was for me to "Send for Signatures." I think there is a bug in the system that when I amend the review it think I am still working on it. I hope there is a way to fix this. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Do you homework. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Namely has some strengths (Google Authentication, consolidation of several tools into one platform, etc.) but the applications need work. ### 23. Super Easy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Electronics | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 20, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** It's great - you can see all of the other employees at your company, who their bosses are, when everyone is on vacation, when work anniversaries are, you can "appreciate" your coworkers, and more. I really like how user-friendly everything is. **What do you dislike about Namely?** I wish you could edit your vacation time. I needed to shorten or adjust my vacation time a couple of times, but I had to delete and resubmit. I mainly say this because I have to take some extra steps like recheck what the vacation days are. It's very minor - it does not impact how I view Namely. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed something that was user-friendly and had a lot of features. ### 24. Great HRIS product!!! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 23, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** Its clean, simple, easy to use. Most of the employee information specially their anniversaries, birthdays, new arrivals everything displayed neatly in the dashboard, which really helps us to keep up the employment relationship. Easy to work with the on-boarding of new employees. Your performance reviews, payroll, benefits everything in one place to access. **What do you dislike about Namely?** It didn't integrate well with our current ATS. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Its always easy and better if you have payroll, benefits everything in one place. It really helps me easy complete the new employee on boarding process within seconds. ### 25. Can't imagine using another HRIS **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tiffany B. | Director Of Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** The clean and easy-to-use interface helps me in onboarding, payroll, etc. and reduces the need to always work through software with employees (plus, there are training resources for basic tasks). The payroll module is straight-forward and easy to use - I spend minimal time running payroll, and if there is an issue, Namely is quick to respond. The customer service I've received has been top notch - we have one point of contact for HR/payroll and they help get answers when needed. We also use their benefits which helps simplify things as well (and great customer service there too!). **What do you dislike about Namely?** No major complaints - sometimes there are very (very) specific features we're interested in - there's often work-arounds or it is on the list of potential adds. The performance management module is very customizable and is included - but still could use a little work to be on par with stand-alone performance management products (but is still an excellent product!). **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Too many disjointed modules. Horrible user interface. Too many mistakes and issues with benefits and products (on end of other HRIS/benefits). ### 26. Great internal resource for employees **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** Easy to use interface that easy to navigate to find documents or information **What do you dislike about Namely?** Nothing at this time, it meets all requirements **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeps all HR, Payroll and Employee management data in one platform ### 27. Namely - A Standout for All-in-One HRIS, Payroll, Benefits **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Micquella A. | Employee Programs Director, Marketing and Advertising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** 1) HRIS, Payroll, and Benefits Administration are synced!! 2) Namely looks like it belongs in 2018. The UX and design are very pleasant, a stark difference from the many other products that responded to our RFP. One year in with Namely, our multi-generational staff all have overwhelmingly positive feedback -- both for the design/UX and for having their important information in one place. **What do you dislike about Namely?** There's some system quirks (as with everything) but nothing that's made me regret having chosen Namely. The Time Off functionality isn't as sophisticated as BambooHR (which we had before Namely), but it's completely workable. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Get in-depth demos of other products in the market. Be specific with Namely about what other products you'd want to integrate with. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before, we had a separate HRIS, Payroll, and Benefits Admin - payroll premium deductions were a pain to keep synced and there were frequent mistakes. We had no 1 system of record for benefit elections. Having this all synced, we've realized the benefit of less maintenance. This is huge for us because we have a small HR team. ### 28. It’s still new but I like it so far **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** Having access to my paystubs when ever I want **What do you dislike about Namely?** The login process was too stressful and confusing. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Take your time to learn the company because it can get very overwhelming at first like it did to me. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Payroll and easy access to it when ever you need it. ### 29. Great tool, great price point! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** Effective beginning HCM tool for small businesses under EEs **What do you dislike about Namely?** The Talent/Performance Management Tool for merit reviews could use some development. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** I would highly recommend Namely as an HCM solution for growing small to mid sized businesses. They are developing a great product with a great UI that employees can navigate. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Streamlined the onboarding process, designed workflow to move to a paperless approval for time off, pay increases, employment changes, etc. ### 30. Fun and Simple HR Software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 15, 2019 **What do you like best about Namely?** I love the homepage where you can welcome new employees into the company, say happy birthday or express thanks to a coworker. **What do you dislike about Namely?** I honestly have nothing I dislike about this program. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Communication throughout the company is made better with namely. It is very user friendly and easy to navigate so employees are able to do tasks on there without assistance. ### 31. Best all-in-one system for small/mid-size companies **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Titus Y. | Head of HR, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 08, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** Aside from having every tool an HR/Payroll dept needs integrated and working together, the best part about Namely is their customer service. Each client has an individual client partner instead of an 800 number and a case ID. That's made all the difference - instead of going thru prompts and re-describing the problem to a different CSR each time you call in, your partner knows you and your company and always responds quickly. Outstanding customer focus! **What do you dislike about Namely?** Nothing, they're exactly what we were looking for and more. If I were looking for a new system, I would implement Namely again. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Stop wasting time comparing other systems, Namely is the best and is very competitively priced. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** They took on our benefits brokerage services in the middle of a renewal season when we were struggling with an unreliable broker we've had for years. They came in and negotiated down rates for us, set up new plans, working with our insurance carriers and got us everything ready in time for open enrollment. Unbelievable effort - Namely hires outstanding talent and their benefits team works wonders! ### 32. I like namely **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** It is easy to use and organizes hr and time. **What do you dislike about Namely?** It's not as easy to use for administrators. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hr and payroll information are in one place ### 33. Great All-in-One Software Solution **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jennifer A. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** Great software solution for small to mid-size businesses. Easy to use out of the "box" but can be customized to needs of the business. One of the best benefits administration enrollment processes I've seen and easy to use payroll. Quick to implement and a level of transparency on what is coming next to the software platform is above and beyond what I've seen in the past. **What do you dislike about Namely?** Still working on fully integrating the HR and Payroll side of the platform. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** We no longer have to have a full-time payroll headcount. We are able to reorganize and add professional HR talent versus spending our time on a process that we don't need to have extensive knowledge in. ### 34. As an HRIS Namely is as good as it gets. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Santiago C. | Chief Development Officer, Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** After using many other platforms in the past, I can say that Namely provides an easy to use platform that works out of the box but offers a great deal of customization to fit your workflows. They are constantly releasing new features and improvements that are visible and useful with a support staff that is always ready to help. Having HRIS, Payroll and Benefits in one place and dedicated client rep and dedicated benefits rep is definetely hard to beat. **What do you dislike about Namely?** Integration between payroll and HRIS is a work in progress that still needs work. I am confident they will continue to improve it moving forward. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Employee Experience, ### 35. Big Issue for Big company **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Antoine F. | Telecommunications Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 17, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** Very simple to use and great interaction work social media feature to help employees connect with each other. **What do you dislike about Namely?** Very unprofessional when it came to handling the more important things, like payroll and benifits. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** It might work better for a small company with maybe less than 60 people or so, but I wouldn't recommend for more than that. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** We went from ADP to this company to I guess have a change. So this was our main and only HR software system. The only benefits I see is that it does have a nice social media feed screen, but that's about it. ### 36. Mediocre HRIS **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hannah H. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** The user interface is great! Employees find the system to be super easy to use and very intuitive! **What do you dislike about Namely?** Namely's customer service needs some work. They are not very responsive. The customer support we receive is very reactive and Namely does not seem to be up to par on their services. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** We previously were with a PEO so we are able to make more business decisions with Namely and bringing all of these functions in house. ### 37. Room for improvement **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kevin D. | Trust and Safety Community Defense, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** Good interface and was easy to use for things like submitting PTO, viewing accruals, and finding org charts **What do you dislike about Namely?** Very frustrating and unintuitive system for timesheets. Shouldn't be this much of a hassle to log lunch breaks or adjust hours. Times out too quickly and the 3-digit PIN system could easily lead to accidentally entering other people's hours **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Used it for daily timesheet management, helped to view scheduling and made PTO accrual transparent ### 38. Rapidly climbing the ranks to be one of the top HRIS systems on the market. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lauren N. | Head of People Operations and Culture, Entertainment, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 04, 2017 **What do you like best about Namely?** Namely has done a great job of prioritizing user experience by designing an interface that is familiar and intuitive to anyone who has ever had a Facebook profile. I also need to give a shout-out to the amazingly responsive and dedicated support team who is always there to answer my many questions. I'm truly impressed with the freakishly fast response time of our Support Lead, Nathan Zajonskowski, from Namely's Client Success team. Nathan - I'd be lost without you! **What do you dislike about Namely?** There are still some minor tweaks needed here and there to further refine the UX. At the moment there are some areas of the system that aren't fully automated so I'm glad that the Namely Product team is sweating every pixel and constantly working to improve the existing platform by continuing to iterate and roll out improvements every quarter. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Don't be afraid to ask questions and really dive in. The more you know about the system, the more you will love it. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Namely's highly configurable platform has made adding new office locations across the US a breeze. ### 39. Great program with an easy to navigate interface. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marcus O. | Graphic Designer, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** I like the many features it includes, from being a sort of company social network that provides birthdays, new hires, & company events **What do you dislike about Namely?** There actually isn't much to dislike from this platform. Everything is simple, easy to manage ,and has all the basic needs of a payment platform. Definitely a big improvement from our last payment software. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Namely has helped streamline our benefits system making it easy to update information, change benefits, and request time off without having to jump through a bunch of hoops or learn a confusing program. ### 40. Namely provides a fun HR interface for growing companies **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 01, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** I love how Namely makes it easy to see new employees, current department makeup, and additional details about individuals similar to a social media account. This personal detail helps coworkers get to know each other, and perhaps feel more comfortable approaching a new person, encouraging a team environment. **What do you dislike about Namely?** Unfortunately, Namely was pretty light on benefits management, and other payroll tools, so the company moved to ADP. The Facebook-like interface may be good for some smaller companies, though fast growing, or already large companies may not get all the tools they need from this software. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Namely is a great way to keep employees engaged with each other, though you may want to consider supplementing it with more robust HR management tools for benefits and payroll purposes. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** The company used Namely for employee management, and I personally used it to get to know my coworkers, and new hires. ### 41. Nice Software for HR Related Capabilities **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** The ability to quickly find fellow coworkers and their relevant information. It's a nice system that makes it easy to find all of your personal files, especially the ability to gather your tax information quickly. You can view your paycheck via the platform as well. **What do you dislike about Namely?** There used to be a feature where you could quickly see a snapshot of what your vacation time looked like. The feature seems to be removed, and I really enjoyed using it in the past. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** It's definitely recommended because of it's HR capabilities. It seems to have made our HR teams job much easier. They are able to quickly pull up information related to our employment when we need access to information. It definitely makes things much easier. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** The option to have all of your HR information in one profile. Also, the ability to see information about your coworkers. ### 42. A start-up employee view of Namely **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** Simple to use website. UI & UX are both pretty on point. Not sure if they have a mobile but I think it would be a good addition. One of the feature we use is to keep track of people's birthday's & work anniversary. It's pretty easy to send someone a message to congratulate them or just say Happy Birthday. Org chart is also a useful tool to see who works for who. As our company grew it was hard to keep track and after having namely around it was much easier to find the right person for the right job. **What do you dislike about Namely?** I guess this isn't a dislike but I would've like if our company made use of the work flow function and task function. The sign in process can be a little confusing at first. You can't just go to namely.com, sign in and do your thing. You have use "company name.namely.com" I thought it was just an extra step that was not needed. Benefit forms can be a little hard to find; for example, I needed a gym reimbursement form and it was hidden to far in the benefit tab. Overall, it's nice terrible, just a few minor changes. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** remember you website address for sign in. Namely.com doesn't get you to your log in **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** As state earlier, it supported the basic needs of a growing company. Especially for the cost, there were many other softwares but namely was pretty well priced compared to everyone else on the market. ### 43. Great HRIS, easy to use and always improving their software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kendra F. | Talent Operations Assistant and Wellness Program Specialist, Biotechnology, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2017 **What do you like best about Namely?** Namely keeps all of our HRIS, Payroll, Benefits, and time off in one place. It is easy to use and configurable to fit the needs of your company. They are always open to feedback and improving the software. **What do you dislike about Namely?** I would like to see more customization on the file storage/uploading documents so that we can store personnel files electronically. It would also be nice to export org charts. Onboarding is a little clunky and it would be nice to have the esignature feature for current employees. I wish it would integrate with our compensation software. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Ask for references so you can ask questions and possibly see Namely and how another company is utilizing it. Make sure to ask them about Implementation, it is definitely more time consuming than we initially thought it was going to be and ended up pushing our "go live" date back. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were able to move our Benefits Open Enrollment to a completely electronic process which has saved us a lot of time. We now also store all of our HR policies, some employee documents, and have created some workflows that used to be a paper process which has allowed us to become almost completely paperless. ### 44. Easy to use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** Namely provides the functionality we need and partners with you on solutions versus just telling you "we can't do that." Their open API capability has allowed us to integrate our other system solutions; and, the user experience on the admin and employee side is excellent. **What do you dislike about Namely?** Not all platforms are going to be 100 percent perfect. We don't use the Time and Attendance feature b/c our time is tied to our finance and accounting system, but we've been able to pull PTO used into the Time Off feature which Namely uploads for us. We wish we could keep/see time requested in previous year while still tracking current year. Totally minor and really doesn't affect anything; just a nice-to-have. Really, we have no complaints about Namely. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Providing a platform for our one true source of employee data. Their open API capability has allowed us to integrate / pull data into other applications and systems within our organization's information technology ecosystem. ### 45. Great to be kept in loop and better connected with other branches **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** My favorite part is the directory and the team structure. Especially when I started out it was so nice to search for someone by name or team and get a photo, title, etc. **What do you dislike about Namely?** I can't say there is anything I dislike about it **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Seeing my HR benefits all in one place Keeping up with other teams and events ### 46. Simple to use! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** I love the navigation & having the ability to connect with my co-workers! The interface is really easy to understand, and I never get lost searching for the information that I'm looking for. **What do you dislike about Namely?** Doesn't have a great mobile app. I wish they would make some of the information more accessible on the go. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Checking paystubs, submitting hours, connecting with co-workers, requesting time-off, housing company documents, etc. ### 47. Glad I switched! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Hardware | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** We have a site where all employees can interact in this site and post comments. Also appreciate the self help feature **What do you dislike about Namely?** sometimes dont get immediate response from my managed services team **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Communication with the employees and that they can directly request changes on the system ### 48. New Company - Great Potential **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Caleb W. | Recruiting Lead, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** Very easy to use system for Employees, Managers, and Administrators. Always making improvements and listening to client feedback. Everyone is super friendly and committed to the product. **What do you dislike about Namely?** Newer so some features you would get with another HRIS might be missing. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Payroll, Benefits, Time, and HRIS all in one has made our life so much easier. Performance reviews and manager self service has been a life saver for our managers compared to old ways. ### 49. Namely-my new favorite HRIS **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lauren D. | Recruiter, Sporting Goods, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** Very user friendly, easy to use and creates a platform for employees to engage with each other. **What do you dislike about Namely?** The esignature integration through Adobe is great but unfortunately, the I-9 form doesn't work half the time, specific I know, but that is my only gripe. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Buy it! **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** We switched from ADP and we are seeing a huge increase in employee engagement. People actually want to sign in to see what is up on the feed. ### 50. Namely **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2018 **What do you like best about Namely?** Namely is up to date with the times that we are currently living in. Namely is a FaceBook for work. You can keep up with your fellow co-workers and interact on a daily basis just like FaceBook. **What do you dislike about Namely?** Namely is pretty user friendly, but it is a bit confusing trying to figure out where to access some information. Not sure if that is something the employer sets up, but I wish the flow was a little better. **Recommendations to others considering Namely:** Make the flow of use a little easier. **What problems is Namely solving and how is that benefiting you?** Namely provides all of your payroll needs and more. We are able to do everything on Namely, including seeing other employees work anniversaries. I think that is a neat feature. - [View Namely pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/namely/reviews?page=5&refcode=LOGAN-3785§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-13+16%3A22%3A12+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=1900375f-bfea-48e4-a47d-397d6c8cccd4&secure%5Btoken%5D=98aef6e575c4e4c1b67d2215c8110a96ecf02198c31a20fafebaf12876f80ef0&format=llm_user) ## Namely Integrations - [Engagedly](https://www.g2.com/products/engagedly/reviews) - [HR Analytics Software](https://www.g2.com/products/hr-analytics-software/reviews) - [Zapier](https://www.g2.com/products/zapier/reviews) ## Namely Features **Core HR** - Organization Management - Time, Attendance, and PTO - Expense Management - Salary Structures - Compliance - Benefits Administration **Employee Self Service** - Web Portal - Benefits Manager - Mobile **Benefits Administration Platform Features** - Benefits Record Management - Enrollment Planning - Third-Party Carrier Integration - Document Management - Total Compensation Statements - Self-Service Portal - Regulatory Compliance - Mobile Benefits Access **Automation** - Process Automation **Performance reviews** - 360 Reviews - Customizable Forms - Review Status Tracking **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Generative AI** - AI Text Summarization **Agentic AI - Onboarding** - Autonomous Task Execution - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Administration** - Payroll Entry - Time Off Accrual - Direct Deposit - Expense Reimbursement - Pre-tax Deductions - Wage Garnishment - Approvals - Check/W-2 Printing - Check/W-2 Delivery **Platform Content** - Forms Library - E-Forms - E-Signature - Background Checks **Logistics** - Dashboards & Reporting - Data Collection - Lanuguage Options **Goals** - Goal-Setting - Company Goals And OKRs **Benefits Administration Platform Features** - Benefits Record Management - Enrollment Planning - Third-Party Carrier Integration - Document Management - Total Compensation Statements - Self-Service Portal - Regulatory Compliance - Benefits Dashboards - Mobile Benefits Access - Integrations / APIs - Mobility **Generative AI** - AI Text Summarization **Time Tracking** - Ease of Completing Timesheets - Billable Time Rate Management **Taxes** - Tax Calculation - Tax Filing - Automatic Tax Payment **Platform Additional Functionality** - Self-Service Portal - Compliance Training - Automated Onboarding Workflows - Onboarding Notifications **Management** - Schedule Creation Tools - Schedule Management - Employee Leave Management - User Access - User Role Access - Employee Information - Employee Information Automation **Feedback** - Continuous Feedback - Requesting Feedback - 1-On-1 Meetings - Public Praise **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization - AI Image-to-Text **Integration** - API / Integration - Time Tracking Integration - Accounting Integration - Core HR Integration **Platform Data** - Onboarding Process Reporting - Visualization **Monitoring** - Regulations Enforcement - Compliance Monitoring - Integration **Data** - Dashboards And Reports - Historical Data **Platform** - Customization - Integration APIs - Internationalization - User, Role, and Access Management - Dashboards **Platform** - Reporting and Dashboards - User, Role, and Access Management - Performance and Reliability - Scalability **Recruiting and Onboarding** - Interview Scheduling - Onboarding **Agentic AI - Performance Management** - Multi-step Planning - Natural Language Interaction **Mobile Time Tracking** - Time Tracking **Administration** - Business Tool Integration - Workflow - Automated Reminders - Policy Compliance Management - User, Role, and Access Management **Platform** - Reporting - APIs / Integration - Performance and Reliability - Mobile User Support **Workforce Management Platform Features** - Shift Scheduling - Time & Attendance Tracking - Absence & Leave Management - Skills Management - Workforce Analytics - Self-Service Capabilities - Mobile Shift Scheduling ## Top Namely Alternatives - [Paycom](https://www.g2.com/products/paycom/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (4,594 reviews) - [Paylocity](https://www.g2.com/products/paylocity/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (5,995 reviews) - [Paychex](https://www.g2.com/products/paychex/reviews) - 4.1/5.0 (1,691 reviews)
