We Cicinia use Namely.

Because of the seamless delivery of services such as employee onboarding, talent management, time and attendance, recruiting, analytics, and staff management, among other things, you are able to manage all of your HR procedures and policies from a single platform.

We Everyday Power use Namely. In my opinion, it is the best option for CEOs wishing to expand their firm beyond the boundaries of small businesses. They may have used a variety of tools to manage various HR functions up to this point. It's more difficult today, and scaling with this configuration would be agonizing. Companies that have outgrown small business solutions don't have to fill the void with another tool or pay seven times as much for an enterprise solution. For example, although BambooHR provides pretty templated performance review choices, Namely allows you to add custom fields and extract reports on whatever statistic you measure.

We WikiJob use Namely. As a human resources information system, Namely delivers the essential characteristics of a human resources management system, as well as a few additional capabilities that are worth noting. In the process of streamlining their HR operations, companies may also stay in compliance thanks to this HR platform. More than 1,400 businesses have entrusted Namely with their data. There are a few things that make Namely the greatest HR software out there. Using a user-friendly interface, the company's employees may access all of their HR information. In general, Namely is a good self-service alternative for mid-sized companies' employees. Task lists, time off monitoring, performance and goal tracking, custom workflows and approvals, employee and manager self-service, a compliance database, and electronic signature

We, at Passport-Photo Online, use Namely. It is a piece of software I can get behind. It’s a program I’ve worked with for two years now, and I rate it very highly because of its great personnel data storage and accessibility. In terms of how often we use the software, it’s hard to give an exact number because you can use Namely for a variety of reasons. A couple of times a week, that’s for sure. In truth, it’s pretty much an all-in-one tool for the HR team, where they can arrange everything from salaries and benefits to time tracking and performance reviews. I think the most significant advantage of Namely is how easy it is to set up onboarding for new hires and how easy it is to access every piece of relevant information. The main disadvantage is a lack of an online chat feature.

“Namely - Great for HR, Payroll, and Employees”

Overall rating4.0

Pros: I love how customizable Namely is. Customizable; modern; streamlined.

Cons: Payroll needs more work. Wish we had a little more control over naming some of the tabs and folders.

“Namely - Great for HR, Payroll, and Employees”

Overall rating4.0

It is 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 Link building business with a few enhancements and add-ons. The Customer Service is great and the people involved are very kind and competent.
