Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • All our employees benefit from having access to their performance record, which allows ownership of their goals and objectives. Every Actus employee we have dealt with has been extremely helpful and patient with all requests we have made (and there have been many!). Since the implementation of Actus, performance management is considered more important within the organisation and employees now have clear records regarding their performance. Having the system in place has also helped embed a more regular 1-2-1 process.
  • The Performance Dashboard is really good. We have received great feedback from employees and managers. Actus has assisted our Quarterly Review processes hugely and it has enabled us to capture specific learning and behavioural needs and ensure accountability throughout each quarter. The toolkit helps managers to better manage large and demanding teams.

Cons

  • The only con would be that I (as admin) inherited the system and at first just couldn't get my head around it. This was quickly rectified by our brilliant Account Manager who organised training, webinars and phone calls so that I now feel I can really call myself 'Actus admin'.
  • A leavers report that includes all the leavers, leaving dates and the rest of the off boarding information would be really useful if it can be created. Currently we can export all the Inactive employees but we cannot see leave dates and the rest of the off boarding information on the excel sheet.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • º It has a very complete documentation and Namely guides or tutorials are extremely explanatory. In general, these types of platforms are very confusing or outdated with functions that are useful, but they are not well understood as they can really be applied and also with very few examples for practice. I would like not only HR platforms to be like this, but for any platform to provide a wide variety of information on how to apply each function in real life with different types of companies. º The Namely team is very professional and has always been there when I needed to solve a specific problem or function. I can say with certainty that no problem has been left in the air since everything has been successfully solved, thus allowing the work process to not stop when the human resources area is being managed. º For me, the reports that I have generated on this platform have been more complete than other similar platforms that are in the same area of ​​work. In addition, it is very organized and if you want to customize it more, it is possible since it gives you the freedom to order, put or remove anything that is necessary or not, giving you more capacity to have a report that adapts to what the company needs. º It is very complete when you want to have a card for employees where time can be recorded, in addition to having the ability to edit them at any time in case of a setback or breaks are assigned such as vacations, days off or any illness that may have occurred. arisen to avoid confusion in case of thinking that there was a fault within the work time stipulated by the company. º It is very easy to get into this platform, it is very friendly both for the common user and also for the administrators, who have a very extensive control panel that allows them to manage whatever they want. I can also get an organization chart of the structures of different departments and know how they are constituted. Also when logging in I can see the colleagues who are or are not active in their work areas.
  • The self-service model has been so helpful to our team members and our HR dept of 1. We have been able to keep everything secure while still providing our team members access to the necessary information they need.
  • I like that the system is all in one. I can link to applicant tracking, onboard, Everify, house documents, complete reviews, manage benefits and keep employee information all in one place. I also love that this company continues to improve their product and communicates well about product enhancements and plans.
  • The team is responsive and helpful when submitting a case. They really helped me a lot when I was new and they were patient. It has all I need in a way that is easy to use. I like the onboarding with the templates that can be sent that way for signatures. My Namely benefits rep was very helpful and I had direct access to him (poor guy). When I started at the company, I jumped right into open enrollment.
  • Streamlined UI and integrations for all parts of employee lifecycle (onboarding, performance, offboarding).

Cons

  • º It lacks customization in certain areas or simply the function it has when we want to add some resources has to be done manually in each user profile that the employee of the company has. This is a bit inconvenient due to the large number of people in my company and it takes time to be able to add some data or characteristic to each of the employee profiles. º I am having problems with time records for employees who are only working part time as well as time off requests for employees who are part time. This seems incomplete to me, having to record these times in another way so that there are no problems or confusion in the free hours that the employees have and it has not become entangled in whether it was a free time or they simply stopped working. º The search function is very slow and confusing, causing me not to use it very often until there is a performance update that fixes this problem. I would like them to improve this functionality since for me it is easier to be able to find something than to do it manually due to the large amount that is handled with a large number of company employees, it would be a solution that would further automate human resource management. º There is no chat tool per se, you can only ask for support which you get a ticket to wait for a response to any concerns you may have. I find it inconvenient to have to solve problems outside of this platform since communication here is the least instantaneous. It is possible to be like this, waiting for a response through tickets, but it would be better if there is the possibility of having an instant solution, this can be added as a tool within this platform. º The organization charts are the least intuitive that can be found on this platform, I would like them to change the design or also be more customizable in order to have everything more presentable for understanding the structure of the company with respect to each employee from different departments.
  • I wish they integrated with more softwares. They have some but not a lot.
  • There is a lot you can customize but there are a few things still a bit clunky at times. For example, I would like to be able to add as many one off additional compensation on a check without having to upload a specific document.
  • Reporting is not super user friendly. There is no synch with PTO and payroll for those who do not fill out a timesheet. You can't just pick up the phone and talk to support when in a pinch (but there are options for urgent and call me if you need to - but I hesitate to use those).
  • There are certain features hard coded in ways that don't make sense all the time, or labels that don't make sense (ex. classes should really be benefit classes). Another example would be our org's issues with using the timetracking functionality, we had to restructure our pay periods in order to use it instead of just being able to customize it.
