Castlight Health
Castlight Health is best used when you have a wide organization (living all across the US) and you don't have the margin on your small/medium team to look into all the different offerings nationwide. We use them primarily to assist with employee health benefits across our whole organization and it has been a breeze

PrismHR
PrismHR is well suited for running payroll and generating reports, managing employees, and creating a database with employee pay and benefit information. This wouldn’t be a learning and development platform or performance management system. It’s also not a great tool for automating data per department or financial dashboard. Lastly, I do not think previously it had a strong enough cyber security which is why there was a data breach. Thankfully sensitive information wasn’t compromised though.

Castlight Health
We have used Asure in the past (direct competition). We have found the friendliness of Castlight Health to be better and the use of the website and benefit options are all better at Castlight Health. I am always open to shop around to find the best option for our company and I feel like we have found that with Castlight Health.

We previously used TriNet, ADP Total source, ADP Resource. PrismHR is more basic in design for both the manager and user. But in the end, it does the same work all these other platforms perform, but at a lesser cost which is better for the company as it saves us money so we can pass along savings to our employees.
