### Most mentioned pros

- It provides a centralized system that streamlines onboarding, enrollment, and employee data management, which has significantly reduced administrative workload and improved overall accuracy.

- At times, rates are not correct in Employee Navigator so the wrong deduction amounts are taken from employee paychecks.

#### Ratings breakdown

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!

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

#### 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.

Some of the features are not as helpful especially around feeds to your payroll the communication was not clear when we decided to use them for Employee Benefit Platform instead of our HCM

#### Reasons for choosing Employee Navigator

It was free. I am moving to Paycor soon and expect that I might use them but we will see.

I have had a very positive experience with EN. It saves us money by not including a benefits module in our HRIS system, and flows seamlessly between both systems. Open enrollment is very easy and my ACA reporting of 1095Cs only took me about 20 minutes to do.

My overall experience with Employee Navigator has been very postive. From the initial training to all of the available webinars and recordings to the support and the actual system itself, it is a well oiled machine! The bar has been set and I rarely use another system without expressing frustration that they don't have the options or setup that Employee Navigator does.

#### Ratings breakdown

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

#### Pros

I love how easy Employee Navigator is to use. The system is very intuitive and able to calculate eligibility in a number of ways and account for a variety of unique circumstances. The enroller view looks just like the employee view and makes it easy for the enroller to see exactly what is being elected for only that specific new hire or open enrollment window. There is no guessing. The timeline tracks every action to an employee profile or election which makes it very easy to know exactly what happened and who was signed in to complete that action. Employee Navigator is constantly adding new partners for data integrations. Support is amazing. They are always friendly, helpful and responsive and if they aren't certain of an answer, they will work until they have an answer. The help pages are are easy to search and to understand and always link to other things that you might want or need to know about your topic. Employee Navigator is always a positive experience.

#### Cons

Because you have to be a premier user to call Support, there are times when I am working with another group and they can't specifically help me if I am not the premier user on that group. I understand why they have the premier users, but it would be great if they could still help me with the specific group as long as I am a premier user on another account.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

EN offers Online Training for Primer Users. Once trained your client builds will go smoothly. You have the ability to testing out features with Demo EEs you can add and this is also an additional layer of training for your HR clients who are using the system. Integrate whenever you can, start with the data exchange preferred carriers this saves your agency staff time on manual eligibility processing and makes for less carrier audits needed which saves your client and your agency time. Love the Onboarding feature for new hires, Asset tracking of company equipment, the PTO feature is available and you also can process ACA in EN for 50+ eligible clients. All of the above is handle within Employee Navigator with one login to the same system, not different systems but within EN which make things easier for everyone. No hidden fees. You will not be disappointed. We love the system and so do our clients and their employees who are using it daily. To close EN Support will never let you down, their TEAM is amazing, very professional and knowledgeable. Can not say enough positive above Employee Navigator, embrace the system and learn the functions and you will see the positive impact as our agency has.

#### Cons

With any new system you have to embrace the system and how it works. The biggest challenge we had was creating the workbook we use to collect the data for the new client builds and with only 1 person handling EVERYTHING in EN setting a reasonable turn around time to set client expectations but that had nothing to do with EN directly.

#### Reasons for choosing Employee Navigator

We use EN, Ease, GIS and a couple of other systems but are working to get as many of our 100+ clients on EN as possible in a workload that works for our staff. It was just myself handling all things EN for the past year and now with additional staff we can focus on adding more clients to EN.

I have worked with Employee Navigator since 2017 as a Benefits Analyst setting up the software for enrollments and benefits management. This is a great system for administering benefits, setting up electronic data interface (EDI) with carriers (including 834 reports built by the user), managing ACA, PTO, and OnBoarding. Clients can also integrate their payroll vendors, Cobra and FSA Administrators with Navigator. Their help desk system is run very well and you typically have an answer back within 24 hours, or at least a follow-up if the issues is still being researched. It was an easy system for me to learn as well, but I did have experience with similar products prior to using this software.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

It is a great system to send the employees there benefits packages. They all fill out there yearly benefits and it comes automatically to HR. This eliminates stacks of papers. The employees can easily access there benefit guides throughout the year and check if there have been any changes. It has helped decrease the amount of HR emails and calls from employees with these questions. It is very easy to add or remove data on the employees end so they do not need to submit a ticket for a manager to do it.

#### Cons

No major cons. Again, I only use it for benefits and new hires. All payroll is used in a different system.

So far during the free trial it has been a lot of training and waiting and training and waiting - I wish it was more doing. I feel stuck and in a holding pattern right now, maybe that will change when I am able to begin working in it full time.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

There is a lot of customization that can be done, and a lot of reports that you can pull. It also seems to integrate with a lot of carrier enrollment systems - that is a huge plus.

#### Cons

The training is a very long process - broken out by certain aspects of the system that you learn by watching then learn by doing in front of a trainer. This process of learning is just really long - I want to be able to get to work on day one, not have to wait weeks to be able to be in the system. One other thing, not having carrier applications in the system is hard - it is definitely a con over other systems as members want and carriers want the actual application filled out. And last it is strange to have one system administrator - or what they call prime user for an agency. My co-workers can't call with questions, they have to direct them to one user who has access to the customer service with Navigator. It causes a lot of work for our prime user.

#### Reasons for switching to Employee Navigator

Cost - this change was 100% due to cost.
