Collective Health vs. Employee Navigator

It has been a great and easy experience, and I'd highly recommend it to colleagues. It is easy to navigate, all my information is in one place, and if I need additional help within the tool -- some resources quickly help answer any additional questions I may have.

We are very pleased with the change to [Employee Navigator] as it offers more what we needed. It's very customizable and has many features that can be added or taken away depending on business needs. I'd only say it would be less appropriate for a business quite smaller than ours who needed very little in comparison.

• Collective Health does a good job of breaking down the costs associated with the utilization of any given medical service
• Collective Health helps users locate the best medical provider and/or facility that is best for them
• Collective Health provides quick and reliable support channels to users

• Time off requests. These are easy to perform and track as an employee and user.
• Time off approvals. Couldn't be easier. Time of approvals or denials are sent via email and are one-click tasks. Also can be performed in the web UI, but it's so easy.
• Manager reporting. Managers can easily see reports on employee time off and make decisions based on that.

• Logout time, I know there is sensitive information, but sometimes I wish I wasn't auto logged out of my account after some time.

• It is a great stand alone product. We would like it to tie into a more robust HR solution and communicate with payroll.
• Initially there are a lot of features that are turned off, I like to know what a program is capable of so I can be more strategic in implementing a solution.
• Having a broker in the middle is both good and bad.

I've reached out to support a few times, and they are always super responsive over email, and willing to jump on a phone call too to discuss my issue directly.

So far, we have had very little reason to call in to Employee Navigator support. Our team who works with them have found it easy and simple to work with them when needed. They aren't able to work on much or divulge how the system works internally, nor what's on the roadmap, but it is still helpful to have timely confirmation.

The UI of Collective Health is sleek and intuitive, and the company provides extremely quick and remarkably reliable via their support channels (Message, Chat and Phone Call). Moreover, the descriptions they provide for each medical service is succinct and still very informative.

Most of the systems I've used for HRIS systems have been part of the payroll system. What stands out with Employee Navigator is the ability to key your benefit changes into one place, and all vendors are notified of the updates -- no more logging on to three or more sites to make an address change to an employee.

• Collective Health has helped employees more accurately forecast their medical expenses and budget accordingly
• Collective Health has significantly improved the experience of employees with the submission of medical expenses claims

Incentivized

• We spent about half the time on open enrollment than we did in the last two years. Employee Navigator was much easier for staff to navigate and be able to complete their open enrollment independently
• We've saved several thousand dollars in setup fees to link with insurance carriers since moving to Employee Navigator
