A good product which is glitchy at times. A great product for a growing company but it has limits once you hit a certain point.

“Departure of Talented Staff Left System Fragmented and Client Experience Suffering”

2.0
Nov 18, 2025
This system used to be something great and something unique. The people that comprised it were amazing and so talented and passionate. Over time, it has been diluted and then acquired by a huge corporate entity that treated the product wrong. Now, no one knows how to use the system to the best degree and all the talented workers have left, leaving poor client experience

Performance of Namely Across Market Features

Namely Likes & Dislikes

Like

The ability to communicate with employees, everyone can see each other and simplicity of the interface

Like

Customizability of the system, responsiveness of the workers, the drive to deliver best solutions to clients and the ability to adapt to most situations quickly.

Dislike

At times it is hard to use to update information. System will not allow changes and it sometimes has to be overridden. It can be glitchy at times, for example pulling Paystubs may not work. It also locks people out in the beginning.

Dislike

The new larger company that took over the system hasn't utilized it to the full capability and has resulted in much lost knowledge as previous subject matter experts left to other organizations. Also forcing old operating procedures to fit in molds of different systems so there's a lot of missing pieces
