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.

The Ascentis payroll and HR systems offer a lot of functionality and value for the money. Their customer service is very good.

All of your employee self-service options, from paycheck and W4 integration to benefits selection are integrated into one  self-service solution.

Lack of training classes - it's all online videos.

The recruiting feature is collects good data, candidates are able to complete the application.

I like that this software has a function that you can view everything at once.

Lots of integrations, great for tons of people, well managed and thoughtful design.

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.

Go with the easiest to use. HR systems can be complicated, but if it's user friendly, it can be your best friend.

Our overall experience with Ascentis has been amazing. We always get the support we need and feel very confident with the software.

I do not expect anything to be perfect; it is more important to me that they are working to improve and are responsive.

Great customer service and the product is very intuitive and easy to use.

Very easy to use, and user-friendly... we are constantly training new Managers, etc., and everyone seems to understand the system quickly. Provides HR with a consistent, reliable system to work with.

Easy implementation, user friendly. Lots of nice features and functions, customizable to our company.

I like that it is easy to navigate and search in.

That is sometimes have different leave amounts on the different screens without telling you why.

Coupled with the added burden of the 1095-c and the need to manually update various records because Ascentis has software issues, it is disappointing.

Ascentis was our HRIS system several years ago and it was a great way to keep all of our employee data. It was very customizable and the help desk was great.

The best part about Ascentis is the versatility and customization.

Overall we have implemented the system and we are using it. Ascentis support is helpful.

Can be complicated to figure out. Deadlines for Quarterly and annual filings are hard to meet.

Our employees like the easy to use system and we have received much positive feedback since rolling out.

I think it is a great system to use for the most part, everything is easy to understand once you get used to how things work.

Splendid performance and options for human capital management. Offers great educational/professional development options.

I find the application easy to use and very straightforward. The vendor team has great customer service and is very helpful.

I have now had two zero-error payrolls; I had to make up mistakes to learn how to do that piece. We are likely adding Tax very soon, and anticipate adding Time later this year.

So far i think it is a good system for the most part but it needa some work definitely.

All fields are self-explanatory. You need no guidance to use this product.

The customer service was non-existent. It was not cost-affordable for the lack of services provided and we had to sign a contract.

Problems with diacritics when translating to Czech language.

I definitely would recommend to any company that has recruiting needs, without them having to break the budget for it.

Overall, it's a very good platform. I've used a lot of different platforms over the last 15+ years and I think Crelate is my favorite.

Also, there are some minor frustrations on how to manage tags and certain fields which can be frustrating.

I enjoy the easy use functions and great multifunctional tools and time saving features.

We are solving the problem of communication between offices. It allows everyone to know where each job is at in the process of hiring.

Our sourcers and recruiters love it - they actually like it better than big talent management systems they've used with other companies. This is so cost-effective and so easy to  use.

Sometimes a little confusing with too many clicks.

Very good - I like it for a smaller company like ourselves.

Hard for me to filter some things, but that is my own lack of knowledge.

Crelate is a good, user-friendly ATS that helps keep me organized with my applicant workflow and jobs. Nice that it's web-based and I can use it both in the office and working from home.

All of the integrations for our applicants and email tracking. When I visit a profile, I can see every email to and from a candidate and easily track progress.

It has easy use, you can look up candidates with ease, keep up with job orders, and overall keep myself organized. Crelate has helped me be more successful in my most recently role due to this.

Integration with my company website and with job boards is simply fantastic.

It provides me with a perfect survey, it is user friendly and easy to use.

We also love the integration with RingCentral and other apps on the market that make using it very easy.

It's also priced very fairly and their customer service is attentive, responsive and helpful.

Crelate is a useful and affordable tool for Talent Management in Recruitment.

The ease of use - it is very intuitive but still has the support videos and trainings which allow you to get the most out of the software.

I like Crelate's clean format and the ability to adjust tabs etc easily. Some other ATS tools are very busy with WAY too many steps or click to see the items.

As a recruiter I refuse to set a person up for failure.

I truly enjoy using Crelate, it's easy to understand and very user friendly.

Rep. has been helping me with the onboarding and is doing a great job as well. The entire team is fantastic.

The customer service is rapid and patient. It can be used for simplistic applicant tracking to powerful data-searching and captures a ton of important information.

Super easy to set up and use. User features and technical support are outstanding.

Struggled getting set up. Customer service is really poor.

The software is easy to use and has numerous tutorials kn how to utilize the features of the product. The customer service was outstanding, and they are very responsive to questions.
