Key User Insights
	Namely	TriNet HR Plus
Considered Both Products	Namely Verified User Chose Namely We had used Namely in conjunction with Wurk for payroll and Ease for benefits enrollment. Unfortunately the "fraken-system" was very cumbersome to manage. The fraken-system was used due to the limited options in the cannabis industry for providers who were willing to work with … Incentivized Helpful? Kristen Albertsen VP, People in Human Resources at Bevi (Consumer Goods, 51-200 employees) Chose Namely Namely has a robust suite of offerings, and fallows for a la carte selection of add-ons (rather than a single bundled option). This has allowed our company to save money by not purchasing options / functionalities that we dont need, but may drive up the cost for other … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Namely Namely provided certain features that we were looking for that the other vendors did not, specifically the social feed. We do not have a company intranet so we needed a place to communicate and store resources in addition to managing HR and Benefits. Namely provided that … Incentivized Helpful? Becky Fleming Strittmatter, CPA Associate Director of Finance in Finance and Accounting at The David Lynch Foundation (Non-profit Organization Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Namely Zenefits was terrible- we used this in 2014, then quickly switched to Namely the following year Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Namely We chose Namely over these other products 2 years ago based on competitive pricing, better UX and all in one offering (Benefits, Payroll, Time, HRIS). Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Namely We've used a variety of HRIS and payroll software in the past: ADP, Zenefits, Gusto, Namely, and now, Justworks. Of all of them but, Justworks and Gusto are far and away the winners. Namely is just not competitive with them from a UX perspective, attractiveness of benefits … Incentivized Helpful? Cathleen Steininger Director of Human Resources in Human Resources at Accuoss, LLC (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose Namely Namely offered more integrated technology to streamline processes. At least, that's what we were told. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Namely Namely is more user-friendly than any other HR software I have used. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Namely We selected Namely because it is both a payroll provider, performance management and HRIS. We were trying to go into 1 system. Before we had 3. It's nice being in 1 system but Namely isn't an expert in anything outside of HRIS when it compares to their competition. There are … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User 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 Helpful? Christine Noonan HR Manager in Human Resources at The Motley Fool (Online Media, 201-500 employees) Chose Namely Namely was so far and above the other payroll/HR vendors. The ability to customize Namely so extensively was what really sold us on Namely. And now, the special features Namely has, such as the ability to 'view as' other employees and work in Namely as them has made that a … Incentivized Helpful? Lisa Shapiro Payroll Manager in Finance and Accounting at The Motley Fool (Information Services, 201-500 employees) Chose Namely We wanted a cutting edge product that our employees would love. We saw that in Namely. They are fully in the cloud so it can be accessed anywhere. They also have a beautiful interface that makes life so much easier. They also have a feature that an admin users can "view as" … Incentivized Helpful? Asher Primrose Director of Human Resources in Human Resources at Allied Health Media (E-Learning, 51-200 employees) Chose Namely Had more user-friendly functionality than the others, and goals and performance reviews had all the features I was looking for whereas others were lacking in those areas. Incentivized Helpful? Asha Mungara, JD, PHR Human Resources and Compliance Director in Human Resources at Tolunay-Wong Engineers, Inc. (Civil Engineering, 201-500 employees) Chose Namely Namely was simply the best value considering how robust the features are. Nothing is perfect but Namely continually strives to be and we appreciate that! They've taken a dozen or more feature requests from me and I'm optimistic that they'll come through :) Incentivized Helpful? Heather Neisen Director of Operations & HR in Human Resources at TechnologyAdvice (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Namely We were using SuccessFactors and Zenefits before switching to Namely. Zenefits promises to be too much and we weren't getting the level of service we needed. When we looked at other platforms, Namely just made the most sense for what we were looking for (payroll, PTO, … Incentivized Helpful?	TriNet No answer on this topic
