User friendly time coding and clock in/out

Overall this is a super easy performance review, time coding and tracking and PTO interface. I’ve also successfully done training within the platform for HR.

PROS

I love the one button punch in/out as well as easy time tracking for PTO and my timesheet.

CONS

You may need initial training to use time coding settings/categories. Easy to use once you get the hang of your project codes.

If support is important to you, go with Ascentis

Overall, our experience with Ascentis has been positive. We saved a little bit of money, gained the support we needed, were able to streamline the close of payroll periods, and can process payroll much quicker.

PROS

The best part about Ascentis is their support, hands down. It is very rare that we have to wait more than 1 or 2 business days to get an issue resolved or an answer to a question. If it is an urgent matter, they are on it immediately. In addition, we get a dedicated Account Manager that is very responsive and helpful. Even when our account managers have changed, they are always brought up to speed and haven't dropped a ball yet.

CONS

The modules are somewhat segmented. We log into one application for payroll, another application for HR, and another application for timekeeping. They are working toward getting everything centralized and web-based, but they aren't quite there yet.

Reason for choosing Ascentis

Neither of these companies showed up for the initial meeting that was set up, so we went with the only one that did, Ascentis.

Reasons for switching to Ascentis

ADP had virtually zero support, and it was expensive. We would go months without hearing back from anyone at ADP. Our "Account Manager" would sporadically respond to us but never solve any issues. And it was about a billion clicks to get payroll processed.

Not a good product

Not good at all. Implementation was never complete, the system was outdated. The customer service was non-existent. It was not cost-affordable for the lack of services provided and we had to sign a contract.

PROS

The only thing that seemed to work with Ascentis was the timekeeping. However, it did not bridge to our payroll system causing us to manually enter any non-productive time into payroll every other week

CONS

The customer service for Ascentis is absolutely non-existent. It was so terrible that I had to send an email to the CEO and other members of the C-Suite to get my issues addressed.

Reason for choosing Ascentis

I was not with the Agency at the time that the selection with Ascentis was made.

PROS

Everything in one location and the security measures to make sure your documentation is safe.

CONS

To be honest nothing really, the user friendly portal is vital.

Reason for choosing Ascentis

ADP could not handle the different levels of employees

Ascentis solid programming software

outstanding by far.

PROS

Ascentis has been easy to understand in the set-up interaction and backing has been extremely useful with any inquiries we have. This is our first HRIS, and it is so ideal to have all representative data in one area. The framework has been not difficult to make refreshes in.

CONS

The most difficult thing for us is getting Tax questions replied when required as the assessment division isn't however effectively open as they may be in another city, which is a few hour time distinction for us and you need to email them with any inquiries to find a solution.

Reason for choosing Ascentis

cost effective and was recommended by employer
