What do you like best about Ease?

Ease makes it easy for employees to make elections. The setup for the Adminstrator(s) is straightforward as well. However, better software is available that is more interactive for the employee and offers better reporting for the Administrator. Ease does have a good "look" and works well to elect coverage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ease?

Ease's reporting is lacking. The reports are okay but do not offer an easy way to see elections - you must sort through the data to find the basic enrollment information. Administrators also have to look at two reports for enrollment data, making it cumbersome and frustrating. As a free option, it works as expected, but better options are available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ease solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ease allows employees to make benefit elections electronically, which is much better than paper enrollment forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ease?

I like that the employees don't have to input their demographic information multiple times on multiple documents. I also like the electronic signature section while signing the forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ease?

I think that in comparison to other websites likes Salesforce Ease is too simple on the broker and employer level. You aren't able to mass edit without downloading a census and connections take a long time to make. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ease solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps with paper applications that multiple groups are still using at their company-wide level. It also helps with carrier connections to eliminate user error when it comes to terminating and enrolling employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ease?

Clear direction on what to do during the benefits election period. After employees have made elections, it is also easy for HR staff to pull reports on elections for all employees to double-check for errors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ease?

I do not like that Ease does not check for insurance programs/plan eligibility. For example, only employees with an HSA plan can sign up for the HSA account, but the system allows any employee to enroll. We then have to go in and fix it so they are enrolled in the FSA. I would like Ease to roll out if-then formatting for the HSA Account/ FSA account section; for example, if an employee chooses an HSA plan, they are prompted with the HSA account elections form but can not choose to elect the FSA account and vice versa. If an employee chooses a non-HSA account, they should only have the option for an FSA, and an HSA should not even appear as an option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ease solving and how is that benefiting you?

None that I am aware of but I have seen changes to the format and appearance of the platform. We do not use all of Ease's offerings so I am only aware of benefits enrollment offerings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ease?

The Ease platform is so simple for employees to engage and select their Company HR benefits. They can use the calculator that keeps a current account of their weekly benefit expense allowing them to maximize benefits that fit their budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ease?

Ease and Paylocity are not connected, but it's not 100% with the transfer of information. The training about what is communicated was brief. I'm learning as I go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ease solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ease allows for voluntary benefits to be understood and enrolled into simply. Many new enrollees have taken the time to watch the short video for the voluntary Unum products and have enrolled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best way to gather employee information to efficiently complete all benefit enrollment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ease?

Payroll integration has been challenging and I would like more direct assistance from a team to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ease solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gathering all data up front instead of constantly having to follow up from missing information. We also find more employees enroll when they see the cost first hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ease?

The ability to sign forms digitally and for Aflac enrollments to go directly to Aflac. Also, the ability for brokers to route enrollment reports directly to insurance providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ease?

Some limitations of the software being unable to understand some specific situations during benefits enrollment. Like when employees elect an HDHP but then want a full medical FSA without an HSA, the system only understands the ability to offer an employee a limited-purpose FSA. That and the inability for the system to give an estimated deduction for benefits that require approval first, tricking some employees into thinking that a specific voluntary benefit is fully paid by the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ease:

If your broker offers ease for free to use for benefits administration, and you don't have another virtual benefits enrollment portal set up, Ease is a no-brainer. But if you're looking around for more robust and flushed out platforms that can do a lot of different kinds of benefits admin, I think there are better options in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ease solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to offer an open enrollment program that works great in a 100% remote working environment has been a big help. We were doing just paper enrollments prior to Ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ease?

We like that the portal has the ability to email the employees when onboarding or during open enrollment. We also utilize the documents section to hold important HR files by employees. We can upload documents privately that the employee cannot see or upload them in the shared file that the employee can see. This has been a very helpful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ease?

I cannot think of anything we dislike. The portal has the ability to customize to your needs and I haven't run into any issues as of yet. We have been using this system for quite some years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ease solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a secure online area to hold private employee documents such as HR verbal and written warnings. We spoke with our representative who shows us the documents section and explained how the private section will stay just for internal use and the shared file will be viewable by the employee. This has really helped us keep empolyee incident reports and other documentation secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
