Namely Reviews in May 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Don't Do It

What do you like best? 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? 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 ...

HR efficiency

What do you like best? 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? 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. ...

Namely for the Win

What do you like best? 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? 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 are you solving ...

Impressive Platform but Rough Payroll Transition

What do you like best? 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? 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. ...

Great HR Software - Everything in One!

What do you like best? 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? 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 the product: Definitely use the Benefits Administration, it has saved us a considerable ...

Dissappointed

What do you like best? 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? 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, ...

Namely

What do you like best? 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? 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 ...

Good simple HR tool.

What do you like best? 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? 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 the product Simple to use and setup but fairly ...

Great HRIS product!!!

What do you like best? 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? It didn't integrate well with our current ATS. What business problems are you ...
