Top Rated Names & Faces Alternatives
I love how simple and easy it is to find my colleagues. We have about 300-400 employees at our company, so it is impossible for me to find who and what their job title is. Names and Faces have helped so much to find who I need to reach out to without being creepy on LinkedIn. I love the simple interface and fast search bar. It also helps me to approach my co-workers better in person after interacting with them only through Slack or emails because Names and Faces include pictures. It also allows you to search by department, names, titles, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am not sure if Names and Faces include an organizational chart, but ours did not have an organizational chart interface. It would have been great if it also showed organizational chart, rather than listing individually. This way, I can easily identify who the manager or directors are and I can easily see which teams the person is and who they report to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Paylocity as our HRIS, and the functionally is... lacking. Names and Faces solves every need we have to create a beautiful and useful org chart with contact information.
We sync with our Paylocity data, which is actually really complicated because we have employees in another country who aren't in the system the same way. We are able to override employees where we need to (usually to show changes in manager to a foreign employee), and filter out board members who are in our system.
The team at Names & Faces has truly been so effective and responsive even we've needed assistance.
The pricing is super competitive. I would recommend this software to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since they did a revamp over a year ago I can't think of anything I would want to improve. Before that there were suggestions, and they fixed every single thing I could think of that needed it. Their product is now truly ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is super easy to use. I love being able to put a face to the name, especially working for a large company. I mainly use Names & Faces for employee locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The organization chart can be a bit confusing. I understand I work for a big company but it can be a hot mess sometimes. I can't seem to find someone's manager without having to go all the way up and trying to follow a line all the way back down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is a crisp, clear, easy one-stop-shop for employee photo, contact information and organizational information. Very helpful for new employees to learn who their co workers are; helpful to senior leaders to better know their employees, and cultivates a greater sense of employee engagement. Use daily so that you can recognize a work anniversary or wish a happy birthday.
This is also the best solution to quickly find an employee's work cell (or other contact info like desk number or email) and from there easily shoot them a text message or call directly from Names & Faces.
Not sure where someone falls in the organization? The org chart features comes with Names & Faces (and you don't have to pay for that!) Easily see who an employee reports to or find a manager and see their direct reports.
Lastly, the service and attention from the N&F team are impressive. This is a great (modest) investment and I highly recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The solution is awesome... the only drawback is encouraging your managers and employees to download (yet another) app and convincing them it's worth it. (which it is). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the organization, the weekly reminders of what has changed along with items like birthday and anniversary reminders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is not as customizable as I would like. I would like a teams integration if possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
that it acts as a look-book if I have a meeting with someone I haven't met yet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- incomplete office location data. ya'll include the office number, but not the agency map of the offices aren't included anymore. Sure, Ashley's office is #215, but I have no idea where to start looking on the second floor. I end up texting an account manger.
- should include full title for improved searchability and understanding of that person's role/function at the agency.
- should include client scope - i.e. which clients they work on in the building. Sometimes my boss says "go find somebody who works on Comcast" and it becomes a whole runaround to get in touch with the right person, at the right level, on the right account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's really helpful when I quickly need to locate someone, contact them, or see who exactly they are. Invaluable when you are getting onto a new team or if you work in an org with a lot of people who's names you should know. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
nothing. it's great! Up to the internal team to be up on keeping all the info fresh--then it works great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Names & Faces quite simply makes me better at my job. It helps me connect quickly with people and build relationships more effectively. It is super simple to use - intuitive and fast. I really like that it doesn't try to do too much - it simply does the job I need it to, really well. It has become the go-to tool in my organisation that helps us all link up and recognise each other - quickly. This is good for our business, and our culture. I highly recommend it.

This isn't a dislike - it's just a fact. It is one of those tools that you might not realise you need, but then once you have it you don't know what you'd ever do without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a very easy tool to use to see your colleagues, understand relevant information about them, identify their manager, etc. Works on mobile as well - typically where I use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's only as good as the data inside. If it's not being updated, then I find myself not using it as much. We have some colleagues still listed that I know have left our company, so you start doubting the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The utterly clear layout and groupings of people mean you can find "that guy from that meeting" in seconds. I started as a new exec and had to learn a lot of new people fast. I went straight onto Names & Faces after every meeting in my first couple of months to remind myself of who's been there and where they fitted in - and still use it every time I have a corridor greeting with someone I can't quite place.

I'd like us to be using it for even more detailed project team groupings, but that rests on our side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Names & Faces has really been our first org chart tool. We technically have an org chart buried in two different places: one in deep within our google drive, and another within a much larger HR tool. Neither provided reliable info as they were rarely updated, and neither provided contact info. Most of my likes are that we just have a solution for a need that's simple and not complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Most of my work is done at a desk, so I'm not a fan of having to use a mobile app. The web version is really straightforward, but I dislike the login process and needing to refer to my email every time I try to log in. Additionally, I wish I could edit my own information without needing to go to HR first. I'm not the biggest fan of our entire Sales team having access to my phone number when we have internal chat and messaging tools. I also wish it was possible to share my preferred contact method to prevent some unneccessary, often unanswered calls. I'm guessing these might be system-wide preferences set by the team members who manage our account though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
