“Nice System, but Not Scalable”

Namely has a nice layout, but we were unable to update our own direct deposit or withholdings which made it very time consuming for HR to have them all updated.

    Overall, Namely is a great tool for reviews and payroll, but it's not always self-explanatory.

    It's easy to find information for each user -- like pay stub, W2, enrollment, etc -- but the search function is terrible.

    My experience with using Namely is not that great in comparison with other HR management solutions that I have used in the past. Although we greatly benefit with the basic features that any HR platform offers like employee profiles, onboarding, self service options and what I always look forward to using which is compensation feature.

    Namely is useful and has great UI but it is not recommended for large scale businesses.

    My over all experience with using Namely is okay. It has a very appealing interface that looks like a social media interface. It is being used in our department for managing Human Resource process making it easier for us, end users, to access our employment information and needs,
