    Employee Navigator
    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.

    This is a great tool that works extremely well for smaller businesses. I am not sure how it would perform against enterprise tools.

    Pros
    Employee Navigator
    • 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.

    Cons
    Employee Navigator
    • 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.

    • Could have more functionality but it is definitely great for the cost.
    • More responsive support team.

    Support Rating
    Employee Navigator
    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.

    Employee Navigator
    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.

    This is really the only tool I have personally used but it has saved a lot of time and worked well so we have not had the need to try another. There are not really any competitors or options we have tried besides traditional payment methods

    Return on Investment
    Employee Navigator
    • 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
