Help your clients; Help your Staff
Reviewed on 2020/04/10
Overall, we are in a much better place than 4 years ago before we started using Employee Navigator. We are able to offer our clients a greater opportunity to see and advance their business with the analytics and reporting that EN provides for all of us.
Pros
This software has made our work with our clients more productive. We spend more time concentrating on the important things to benefit current and new clients. We spend less time worrying about the process, and just put our information into the program and let the software and the integrated carriers do the rest. Doing reports is a breeze and helps us as a company and therefore, we can support our clients more fully. Storing and finding documents is a pleasure now. P.S. They have the best support and management staff that I have ever encountered. Thanks to all for your hard work and dedication.
Cons
They have so many great features that it is hard to keep up sometimes. I wish their support articles were listed so that we could see the dates updated when we doing an article search.

Still Room for Growth and Improvement
Reviewed on 2019/09/12
Overall I've really enjoyed Employee Navigator. I see the potential and am excited to see the new product releases every year. It's not a perfect system, but it has saved our agency a lot of time and stress.
Pros
How easy/user friendly the system is, the capabilities and potential for this software and the willingness Employee Navigator has to grow and learn.
Cons
The reporting function could be better. There are a few issues with the flexibility of the system, or customization (which I know takes time and resources). For example being able to require EOI for disability, or rates based off gender. I would like to see additional training that goes a little more in depth. For example with eligibility I don't believe it mentions the 'Set New Hire Complete' in eligibility, yet I had an issue with reporting because of that function.

Employee Navigator Review
Reviewed on 2020/04/13
EN has allowed us to improve the benefits enrollment process for many of our clients and reduce they time they spend processing enrollments. The carrier integrations and EDI feeds have reduced errors and streamlined our process.
Pros
Employee Navigator is very easy to use and very customizable. The support team is knowledgeable and provides a quick response with issues and problems. The support site is also updated constantly and provides a lot of information.
Cons
I feel that the onboarding functionality lags behind the market at the present time. Many platforms are able to use fillable forms and store them within the tool. Unfortunately, EN has not reached the point of being able to do this with all forms, and at present is only able to fill and store the W-4.

We've moved all of our clients online and will never go back!
Reviewed on 2017/12/29
Pros
We expected to gain client facing efficiencies but have been thrilled with the internal benefits it's had at our agency. We can scale so much more effectively now that we have standardized much of our processes through Employee Navigator. The software allows you to scale the technology used by larger employers into the small/middle market where it is most needed.
Cons
The software is constantly improving but that also comes means it's changing. Staying on top of all the new enhancements and features definitely requires an internal resource dedicated to the task but is worth it in the end.

Easy to use!
Reviewed on 2019/12/10
Pros
I have been building Employee Navigator for brokers for almost 4 years and I love how easy it is to use and to teach to other users. Employee Navigator Customer Support is top notch from training webinars to calling in to Support with a question. I always receive quick and friendly service. I also appreciate their willingness to listen to users and update the software as needed.
Cons
It is a rules based system so it can be difficult to manipulate data when exceptions or out of box plan set ups are needed.

Pros and Cons from a fairly new user
Reviewed on 2020/04/10
Took a little getting used to for me to find information. Still not too "up" on how to run reports, but the co-worker who is savvy about the system will fill me in more when she returns from maternity leave.
Pros
It has the potential for "one stop shopping" for companies to input, track, and amend all manner of data for their employees. And it allows for two-way communication between the employee and employer regarding benefits, time off requests, etc.
Cons
As a benefit counselor, for an employee that only ones or or two items of voluntary benefits, there is a lot to go through to get to that product selection.
As a coordinator, the timely updating of information by the plan administrator is crucial for each company to get the full benefit of Employee Navigator. It takes a commitment from dedicated personnel.

Pros
The pricing model allows us to offer this technology to many of our clients without a significant upfront investment. This provides our clients technology that significantly improves their overall efficiency and allows us to control the client experience.
Cons
I would like to see a more robust approach to testing and quality assurance. This would help us minimize the risk that a system setting has been incorrectly configured.

Affordable option that scales our systems and make it convenient for our clients.
Pros
Ease of use, constantly upgrading and user friendly. Ability to run multiple reports are amazing at the employer level. The Wall feature allows us to monitor daily activity from a single screen so ability to manage multiple clients is built in.
Cons
The cost increases substantially each year although still a great value. No integration with 401(k) benefits.

Employee Navigator is so easy to use! It directs you on items that need to be completed and has been a really easy way for employees within our agency to communicate with our HR department with documents and information all in one place. We recently used it for our annual open enrollment and it made the process so much easier. It was even easier than the previous year.
Cons
I have no complaints . I am completely satisfied with this software and wish that we started using it sooner!

Weak features, no access to training
Reviewed on 2020/03/16
Horrible. Useless tool that is truly embarrassing for any HR department. It made me think all
HR should be done on paper. That's saying a lot because I work for an IT company.
Pros
There was virtually nothing about this that I found intuitive or ideal. The steps to add a new employee were fairly straightforward
Cons
Navigation through the site was not intuitive.
There are no training videos to teach you how to set up or manage employees.
The time off feature never worked--the number of hours came out wrong for almost all employees & requried a 14 day waiting period from policy creation to activation.
Social security numbers are always visible. I would prefer to have this blacked out unless I chose to see it.
Employees don't receive confirmations of updates to their account. This would be ideal for benefits enrollment.
The email templates were difficult to use. I never quite figured it out.
The admin doesn't get notifications/confirmation when changes are made (terminations, benefits changes, time off requests)

Employee Navigator provides a useful tool for tracking employee benefits.
Reviewed on 2019/11/17
Overall, Employee Navigator provides me with a user-friendly tool for accessing my employment benefits information.
Pros
The best aspect of Employee Navigator is the benefits summary. Having quick and easy access to the most important details of my employment benefits is very useful.
Cons
The only issue that I've experienced with Employee Navigator is that some of the information can be difficult to access. Everything is compartmentalized which can be helpful or feel tedious based on what you're looking for.

We've been using rules-based online enrollment and benefits admi software for eleven years now and we are on our third system. We've been with Employee Navigator for four years and we are delighted! The software has become incredibly easy to use even as it has grown deeper and deeper in features. Every one of our group clients is installed on Employee Navigator and we use it for all of our servicing, plus benefits enrollment. It's outstanding.

This platform is great and the team at Employee Navigator continues to expand on the tools that continue to make it even better. While there is not a one solution fits all scenario, this comes pretty close for what we use it for. I gave it a four star for overall, because there are still some items that need enhanced to make it a five star. The ease of use and customer service is well beyond a 5 star. I highly recommend this technology.

This software was good as a very small company looking for a limited cost option. However it does not provide the functionality needed for a growing company needing in depth reporting capability and customization.
Pros
It was “free” via our insurance broker. Tracks basic employee data. Provides for online enrollment platform.
Cons
It is not sophisticated and has very basic functionality. Very limited customization.

EN Review
Reviewed on 2019/09/13
Overall it has been great learning and using EN. We often tell our clients it's the "Ferrari" of ben. admin systems and that's because we believe it is. We believe that they have put in the time and research to put out a quality product that, especially for the cost, is great for us and our clients to use. While the system can't do everything, it can do a lot of things and makes administering benefits easier.
Pros
I love the ease of use. As a non-IT professional, it was easy to learn and is easy to build our groups.
Cons
It is a "rules" based system, so there are some functions EN cannot do for what we need.
