### Most mentioned pros

- It integrates seamlessly with our payroll software and keeps up with all of our employee benefit changes, even the smallest changes, such as a premium change due to a salary change.
- It provides a centralized system that streamlines onboarding, enrollment, and employee data management, which has significantly reduced administrative workload and improved overall accuracy.
- One addition is I wish it provided the new updated rates for whichever plan information your company is utilizing, that could be really helpful.

### Most mentioned cons

- The reporting functioning can be really hard to navigate if you don't know some of the terms that are being used for report names, or where to find specific reports.
- absolutely horrible support-We have attempting now for a week to get the login issue corrected and none of the call support can help.
- At times, rates are not correct in Employee Navigator so the wrong deduction amounts are taken from employee paychecks.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5

#### Reasons for switching to Employee Navigator

Their system was not efficient for the value we were paying

We use EN for our benefits enrollment process. It makes it so much easier for employees to enroll. I love that it feeds through to our payroll system so no manual entry of deductions is necessary.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

Ease of integration with our HRIS and Payroll System. Very customizable and user friendly. Our employees find it easy to enroll and or change their benefits directly in Employee Navigator!

#### Cons

I would like to see more canned report options. I find I'm often writing ad-hoc reports. The reports they have are good, but they are limited.

#### Reasons for choosing Employee Navigator

Cost was a huge driving factor. Employee Navigator seemed easier to use and administer and the cost was half the price.

We have become much more efficient as an agency and the dreaded fourth quarter is more manageable. Most of our clients now handle open enrollment through Employee Navigator which has improved accuracy and reduced our processing time.

I was an early adopter of Employee Navigator, having used it for nearly 5 years now. I have never regretted the decision as it continues to evolve to meet the ever-changing demands of the industry, brokers & clients. This software is an integral component of our success in both managing clients and attracting them.

#### Cons

I wish it had an Agency Management System component and commission tracking.

Overall it has been a pretty resourceful tool for our employees however I do wish that the intergration part was updated for a more seamless intergration with less of a wait time to the information that should be moved over. Additonally, I do really like the fact that it is super easy to compare benefits options available to you. One addition is I wish it provided the new updated rates for whichever plan information your company is utilizing, that could be really helpful.

#### Pros

I love that it is an easy tool for employees to choose and compare their benefits options. I like that it can store benefits documentation and I really appreciate that it intergrates with Paylocity.

#### Cons

It can take time for information to populate over to Paylocity and sometimes we do have to ask our broker to take a look into the system to see why information did not transfer. You have to be mindful of the info that is transfering.

### Employee Navigator - User Friendly, Excellent Customer Service

The overall experience is wonderful, excellent customer service, connects direct to the HRIS and Insurance platform saving hours of manual labor hours for me. In addition, it has compliance reminders to help me stay compliant with required notices and law changes. I highly recommend this product as a one stop solution for your benefits platform.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The application is extremely user friendly and really simplifies getting employees enrolled in benefits. This application also helps ensure that we are maintaining compliance with changes and required notices. The customer support has been amazing as well, I have never had to wait more than a few hours to get an issue resolved. The application connects the benefits deductions directly to our HRIS software eliminating the need for manual entries. It is a great tool for the busy HR professional.

#### Cons

There really are no cons, we do have divisions that we have to enter which can be a pain but that is organization specific and not anything that Employee Navigator has required!

#### Reasons for choosing Employee Navigator

The simplicity of the platform, it is truly user friendly and allows both administrators and employees to stay on top of their benefits without having to be computer savvy.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

It puts all of benefits in one place. This is so much easier for the Employer and Employees at renewal time. It sends out emails directly and automatically during open enrollment, reminding them that they haven't yet enrolled. The benefits that were elected are available for the employee at any time. They put lots of details of the benefits for reference, since many employee don't read the documents closely when enrolling.

#### Cons

When we agreed to go to Navigator, we were told that our payroll from Paylocity would automatically be linked so that we won't have to manually post in Paylocity the benefits chosen at open enrollment . This was not true. We still had to put it all into Paylocity one by one. We were now told that they have to do a special, lengthy process, to link Paylocity to Navigator. So far, no one has the time to do all those steps.

### Most user friendly system for a non-technical user

Our experience has been very positive for us and our clients. It's a huge value to be able to offer this to our employers to help manage their employees and benefits.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

We've learned as we go with this system but once we got the hang of certain features or rules for plan setup it became much more smooth to set up new accounts. We have used/experienced other systems and this is the most user friendly. The support team is excellent and helpful whenever we have questions. The wall feature is critical in managing changes.

#### Cons

The reporting tool could use some work. It's not possible to pull only new hire elections for deductions. There also needs to be a way to include new employees in an open enrollment period without having them enroll twice (once for OE and once for new hire eligibility). They MUST get the PDF editor/fillable form situation figured out asap. Being able to map any fields to a PDF form needs to be figured out.

#### Reasons for choosing Employee Navigator

I used both and found the alternative to be less intuitive. It looks nice/flashy and has one feature of PDF mapping/forms that is nice. Otherwise, we have other clients who use it and it doesn't do agent assisted enrollments smoothly nor does it integrate well with some of the third party vendors.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

This system is superior when it comes to general benefits administration. Employee Navigator can handle the most complex of builds since it is a very customizable platform. Businesses love how quickly we can get it setup and love integrations back to payroll. A seamless system for users and HR alike.

#### Cons

Although not their core feature, spending some more time on Onboarding (digital I9, and type in forms), as well as their Time and Attendance modules would be beneficial to invest in.

#### Reasons for choosing Employee Navigator

Ability to be completely customizable to our groups.

It has been great thus far! We have used Employee Navigator for the past 3+ year and we are extremely happy with its functionality. As I previously stated, it has cut out a lot of the leg work for me and automated our benefits process which is a huge plus for us.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

Employee Navigator makes our benefit process very easy. From new hire enrollments to open enrollment, it has cut out the leg work and made it so easy for these things to be completed on both the employee and employer end. It is integrated with our HRIS system, Paylocity, so it receives updates on things like name/address changes, new hires, and terminations and applies them in real time. It has automated a lot of the process that we used to do manually so it has also saved our company time and money!

#### Cons

The reporting functioning can be really hard to navigate if you don't know some of the terms that are being used for report names, or where to find specific reports.

#### Cons

Enrolling in benefits this year took all of two minutes and a couple of clicks. I like that. I've definitely used more confusing, tedious software and processes in the past, and it was unlike Employee Navigator. I'm grateful my company uses this to enroll in benefits. The only problem I'm having now is accessing my HSA, but this could very well not be to the fault of Employee Navigator.

#### Cons

I don't like that we only use this software once a year, for benefits selection. I'm not sure if more features exist or could be added to it so it'd be more relevant in our work lives.

We use Employee Navigator because our benefits administrator (Alera Group) set it up. It interfaces easily with our payroll system (Paylocity). New employees are automatically enrolled in the system and receive an email to set up their benefits. Payroll data is automatically updated for income-driven benefits, such as disability insurance. During Open Enrollment, the new benefits enrollments are automatically sent to Paylocity, so the individual deductions are updated.

#### Cons

The website does not allow you to update the passwords directly. Instead, it requires a password reset email be sent. Many of our employees only access the site during Open Enrollment, and do not actively use their email accounts. This can often create a chain reaction of password reset emails. It would be helpful to have alternate ways to reset passwords, such as text confirmations.
