    Namely
    Chose Namely
    Namely support and ease of use is better compared to ADP Workforce Now.
    Incentivized
    Chose Namely
    The reason I continued to choose Namely at multiple employers is due to the continuity of employee experience. And the features have continued to grow since I initially onboarded in 2014. Also, through the years, I have had terrific benefits teams. The customer service has been …
    Incentivized
    Chose Namely
    We're currently evaluating alternatives, but there appear to be only features to gain no matter where we look.
    Incentivized
    Chose Namely
    ADP is clunky and outdated by comparison.
    Incentivized
    Chose Namely
    I did not select Namely. I inherited it. My predecessors chose it because they thought it "looked good" and that employees would like it. ADP and Ultipro are both better. Namely might be fine for 50-100 per some employers, but it gets painful beyond that point.
    Incentivized
    Chose Namely
    I did not choose Namely, the previous head of HR selected it. I do not find Namely to be better in any area than the tools Ive used in the past. Specifically the user interface - some of my employees have limited experience with technology and this system is not intuitive.
    Incentivized
    Chose Namely
    I have forever loved ADP, since they are, after all, the gold standard for payroll and HCM. Namely is now top of my list, followed by ADP. Namely's reporting is extremely helpful and easy to create, which is why for me, it's ranked above ADP. Plus, it is easy to navigate …
    Incentivized
    Chose Namely
    Easier to use.
    Incentivized
    Chose Namely
    Namely is a for sure improvement in capability, time commitment and ease of use over the systems I have used in the past. I would prefer not to share other systems I looked at while assessing Namely. The reasons for not choosing other platforms had to do with price or not …
    Incentivized
    Chose Namely
    ADP is really limiting, and not appealing to look at.
    Incentivized
    Chose Namely
    We now use one platform instead of a mix of old technologies
    Incentivized
    Chose Namely
    So much easier to use and better adapted to employees who are looking for a good UI.
    Incentivized
    Chose Namely
    Namely helped us ditch ADP Workforce and Zenefits. We were using a combination of both of them to meet the needs of time off reporting and payroll. Namely does both and so much more! It's been an awesome resource for managers and employees to have better visual on all things HR.
    Incentivized
    Chose Namely
    Namely's reporting capabilities are easier to utilize. Also, compliance maintenance has been maintained since implementation.
