## Reviews

### "Easy and sustainable." — 4.0/5

> **Leon** | *28 September 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is a straightforward and easy to use software, the user interface is the simplest one in the market of HR Management tools.  It is a good example of the Integration between Payroll and HR Systems, and might be useful in the Linkbuilding bussiness with a few enhancements and addons. &#10;&#10;The Customer Service is great and the people involved are very kind and competent.
> 
> **Cons**: The customization of the processes is not easy to implement, and tends to be tiresome, and in many cases it slows down the navigation. &#10;&#10;It is currently lacking a proper auto-sync feature. &#10;&#10; It does not have the E-signature feature for current employees.&#10;&#10;The performance management module has a complicated nature.&#10;&#10;There could be a better integration between the HR and the Payroll modules. As I explained in the Pros, it is easy to use but it could be highly improved in terms of pragmatic functionalities over the user friendly interface.
> 
> Namely is simple and easy to use, it requires a few improvements that seem to be coming soon. It still has some glitches that need an urgent fix, but with the few conversations I've had with the Customer Support team, I can tell that Namely will greatly improve in future versions.

### "Namely Software" — 4.0/5

> **Toni** | *10 February 2021* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the ability to have all of my onboarding forms in one place.  Employees are able to electronically sign and eases the onboarding process.
> 
> **Cons**: The feature that I like the least is the benefits process.  The last two years I have had problems with registering new employees with the insurance and it seems like I end up doing the registration myself so the employees can get their insurance.

### "Great concept, but not able to deliver" — 2.0/5

> **Lisa** | *2 June 2018* | Computer Software
> 
> **Pros**: In comparison to other all-in-one HRIS systems, the interface is a lot more friendly.  It marries the concept of social media newsfeeds with HR, allowing employees to comment on each other's birthdays and anniversaries.  This gives HR an opportunity to engage employees with a fresh approach to benefits, payroll, and compliance.
> 
> **Cons**: I'm unsure of the experience of other customers, but the concept of Namely never took hold for our organization.  Beginning at implementation, the Namely team was disorganized and unstable.  Implementation was scheduled to wrap up October 1 and wasn't completed until January.  During that time, Namely's implementation team experienced turnover 3 times, each time having to reset our implementation schedule.  Information was missed, uploaded incorrectly, recreated, etc...  They missed the ACA filing deadline and we had to work with an outside vendor with additional costs.  They filed our taxes incorrectly and this still has not been resolved.  On the benefits side, the agent assigned to our team miscalculated the rates from the plan we chose.  According to the rates on the spreadsheet, we chose this particular carrier because it seemed these were the best rates and value.  We had our open enrollment meetings and an employee pointed out that the numbers were incorrect, that she would be paying up some amount more per month.  We had the agent resend us the sheet, we broke down the formulas, and identified the incorrect formula.  Thankfully, our agent forgot to submit our enrollment form and we missed the deadline with the carrier.  The integration with Adobe Sign has never been successful, so we have not had a single successful Onboarding through Namely.  Instead of fixing glitches in the systems, they have built around them which makes it less intuitive (ex. build a new hire's profile including payroll info, send the onboarding packet, then after the new hire starts, go back into the profile to add the payroll group.  When I asked why we weren't able to add the payroll group while we are adding payroll info at the start, they explained the glitch.)  Compared to other systems, reports have a long way to go.  Most come back blank after being ran.  We have experienced more turnover in Namely's account managers.  With all of the errors and issues we have needed to remedy, we simply did not have time to encourage use of the system.  The time off app crashes, so we have lost engagement in the system.  Rather than risk any further damage to the organization, we have implemented BambooHR (which is wonderful) and now let Namely sit silently in the background.  It has been costly and frustrating, for the admin as well as the employees.
> 
> Namely needs to stop building new features, fix the ones they have, and build better internal processes.   The dysfunction they are experiencing internally is extremely apparent to clients.

### "A Great Company that is Always Improving" — 4.0/5

> **Elizabeth** | *20 August 2020* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We love the onboarding system, it makes everything very easy and automated\! We also really appreciate the way Namely takes feedback and acts upon it. They release new features and products every quarter and the releases really are what the customers are looking for. The company is always looking to improve and grow which we really value.
> 
> **Cons**: We have had difficulty with the Namely Time feature, it gets confusing for employees and sometimes there are issues with information syncing between the two systems.

### "Very helpful\!" — 5.0/5

> **Rachel** | *3 May 2021* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: With Namely, we have been able to make all of our HR files secure and digital.
> 
> **Cons**: I love everything about Namely. My only wish is that they integrated with a larger list of other softwares.
> 
> The Namely team has been incredibly helpful from day 1. They took ample time to walk our team through the entire process and trained us up. They anticipated our needs and questions all along the way.
