Ease vs. Employee Navigator

If you do not currently have a benefits enrollment platform in your payroll system, Ease is a great option. It is simple to enroll employees and give them access so they can elect their benefits. I found this system especially helpful during open enrollment. From an admin side, the system was simple and easy to use and got the job done!

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.

• Ease of use
• Videos for training
• It's customizable

• 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.

• Some of the connected exterior apps and other services from the Marketplace seem complex.
• Honestly, there's not much that I don't like so it's difficult to come up with cons.

• Honestly, I haven't found anything that I would improve on, except maybe interfacing with our payroll provider (Certipay).

I've never had to call support for EaseCentral. Our broker typically handles any questions we have.

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.

I have also used Hello Iris for benefit enrollment. After using Ease, I’d never go back. Ease was so much easier for our associates to use and was much easier to manage from an admin perspective. There were much fewer glitches and or freezes than with Hello Iris. Overall, usability is why we used Ease.

We eventually moved to a full HRIS solution with UltiPro. EN does the benefits and ACA portions of HR better but it is priceless to have an integrated and full solution.

• Positive. My business increased 35% in 2017.
• Paperless HR and benefit enrollment all online. I've been able to work with more group more efficiently, effectively, faster and easier.

• First and foremost, using Employee Navigator has allowed our agency to win/retain our clients
• For large employers we prefer this online option as it reduces the manpower to process manual enrollment forms
• Data accuracy is critical in processing enrollments and Employee Navigator ensure that the data input is what is sent to the carriers
