Broker

My agent support team often just sends me a video to watch rather then helping me.

Account Executive 

Ease provides very details support with check lists, tasks and videos to guide ease administrators.

Account Executive-EB

I especially LOVE/appreciate that if I get stuck on something, EASE customer service is TOP NOTCH.

HR Manager

There really aren't any big cons. If I am splitting hairs, I would say that accessing employee's enrollment forms could be slightly easier. When you are on the employee page and want to view the enrollment forms, you must create a report and then navigate to another page to view the forms.

HR Director

Makes benefit enrollment easier and it has the ability to integrate with our payroll software which helps out a lot.

It does not send automatic enrollment emails to new hires so you still have to manually push those out.

Member Engagement Specialist

Enrollment in yearly benefits was a breeze with Ease!

Sr. HR Specialist

We wanted the ability to integrate with all providers and payroll.

Account Manager

We've had our ups and downs with Ease, but we've stuck with them because it does store a lot of information that would be hard to more elsewhere.

VP, Product and Customer Satisfaction

We didn't like the payroll or other features well enough to keep them, so we migrated to another tool, Rippling, for our payroll, HR documents, etc.

Our admin team and employees had minimal issues making changes within the platform.

Ease had a lack of customizations and integrations available.

I like that things have been moved to being digital instead of using paper.

Sr. HR Manager

That employees are able to log in and manage their own enrollment choices and access information about their benefits.

There are some key items missing from Ease, but I'm sure they'd be easy to add on.

Ease is very straightforward and user friendly.

The platform provides legible forms for carrier submission or helps integrate an electronic feeds for eligible carrier partnerships.

Benefits Administrator

The cons are the documents are not easily translated into notifications and onboarding from the library so you have to update three different areas for the documents.

Operations Manager

The efficiency and accuracy - save us (or our employers) a lot of time that we were previously wasting, having to follow up on paper forms to get missing information, figure out what something said that we couldn't read, etc.

Even the brokers recognize how difficult it is to use.

Lead Ben Admin System Specialist

It has allowed us to grow our business drastically by providing a streamlined, simplistic technology solution. Although, we have found that we have increasingly grown dissatisfied with the service provided by Ease Support.

HR Admin

The platform is easy to navigate and customize for how you want to build the benefits portal for your employees.

I don’t think I’ve ever received a complaint from an employee in over 3 years.

I love the one stop shop for all things benefits

Office Mgr

Adding custom rates doesn't always work out for me. When an app for a carrier isn't in the library, I wish we could add it immediately and no have to wait for Ease to add it.

Benefits Consultant

The deployment to new hires and at Open Enrollment time gives us all time savings and the critical control of those processes.

Senior Account Manager

Two clients have their payroll integrated with Ease and at first it wasn't clear on how the deductions needed to be sent over to the payroll system and we had errors.

Vice President of Human Resources

We have had to coordinate integration with some of our insurance vendors -- which can delay electronic transmission of enrollment data.

VP of Operations

Renewing benefits during open enrollment and also adding new benefits can be challenging.   If you don't do it often it is difficult to remember everything that should be done.   And you won't necessarily know if you have made a mistake until down the road when something doesn't work correctly.  

The connectivity with carriers is a problem, account reps not helping or being downright misleading is a problem, if you aren't connected by EDI it requires manual efforts.

Benefit Account Consultant

As an administrator, the build is daunting. Unless you have a small group, with a minimal amount of benefits, it can take a long time to build, usually needing to stop and ask questions for the setup.

We are an insurance broker and use Ease primarily for benefit enrollment and oversight of our clients' employees.  

It can get even more frustrating for big groups with multiple classes, locations, divisions, contributions, etc.

Our contract was recently renewed and the previous discount went away.   When asked for another discount similar to what we previously had we were told what was in it for Ease to provide another discount as before.  

OFFICE MANAGER

Might not be a great fit for large companies.

Account Executive

data doesn't stay when you switch between tables which creates repetition on tedious number inputs.

Broker 

My 440-life group (on EASE) asks me monthly to move them to Navigator or Kronos or bswift for the 1/1/23 renewal.

Streamlined benefit administration with the ability to save HR department hours of work by automating.

Producer

It almost feels like you need to hijack the system a little bit to use it for underwriting a new group.

If there's a complicated benefits situation, Ease Customer Support isn't always available to help resolve the issue quickly, and the follow-up has been somewhat lacking.

Dealing with medium sized businesses, reports and censuses are often created to solve problems.  

Then you can start by sending an email that goes out to employees to select their benefits.  

President

This goes away once you become proficient - but the learning curve can be devastating to agencies as we can lose cases over errors.

Owner

I ended up with zero functionality and at each step EASE employees would blame someone else - Sales -Implementation - Development, etc.

Ease is pretty intuitive to set up a new group, or renew benefits, if you are experienced with benefit admin systems.

Ease is a time saver for employee enrollments, for both new hire and open enrollment.  

Less paper, more connectivity with carriers and TPA's has improved tremendously.

Agent

Some companies take a long time to establish a connection and everything does not always feed over correctly.

The reports are sometimes missing information during benefit open enrollment.  

Not only is system configuration a breeze, but we find that our clients easily get accustomed to how the system operates as a whole.

EASE really pushes their carrier connections, but the connections break almost weekly.
