What do you like best about Ease?

It's relatively easy to set a new employee up and send an email to them to complete their enrollment.

we use it mostly to generate reports showing the premium and breakdown of cost for the employer employee and dependents Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ease?

Reports are not customizable. (Add or remove fields)

Enrollment summaries are not customizable (Can't be sorted alphabetically)

Fields are not customizable (no alternative for "Enroll" for example Get a Quote, or Contact Rep)

Dependents cannot be deleted

Rates are often wrong.

Dependents are not automatically made ineligible once they reach 26

It would be nice if it stored applications from previous years.

Employee insurance rates are being calculated based on the wrong age. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ease:

Just be aware of limitations and be very thorough about cross checking rates. If it is only being used as an enrollment portal then it works perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Tracking Enrollment status.

Proving that benefits were offered to and employee.

Tracking Cost of Healthcare.

Making Plan Summaries available to employees

Reports

Tracking Changes made to benefits

Tracking Dependent Eligbility

Generating Insurance Applications

sending mass emails for open enrollment

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Ease?

The interface is really easy for the employees to use, and the export ability allows me to use this with almost any other system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ease?

I have issues with exporting a census, making changes to it, and then having the system not like the data. I think there are some things lost in translation; it almost feels like the export and import functions (on the back end) are different. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ease:

This system will give employees an incredibly smooth process. If you know what you are doing... the export/import functions can be great!

I feel like the support was better a couple of years ago. But now it is much slower and people are less responsive. That's really too bad since the product is so good. I end up being the support for my agency since I know the system so well. But if I have an issue... it's tough to get answers, and most of the people I talk to in the beginning know the system less than I do... that can certainly be frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Eligibility is key, but so is record keeping. The ACA functionality is great, but it is only as good as the data in the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ease?

I enjoy having one place to send employees to renew their insurance and on their own time when it is convenient. It allows me to track progress and doesn't create a lot of paperwork and tracking in-house when everyone is working in different remote locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ease?

I wish it was a bit more user friendly to navigate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ease?

It's very easy that I can log in and view and/or edit my account information at any time without having to disrupt the VP of Finance and Operations to take care of my personal benefits for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of a dislike about the Ease online portal system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How much each employees payroll deductions are to apply into our payroll system. It is very simple and easy to use...I do not have to contact our insurance agent to retrieve this information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ease?

Many of our new employees love the simplicity of signing their offer letter and completing all of their "paperwork" . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ease?

It's tough that for signatures to show up on a document, you have to custom make it. This means typing out the whole document yourself or cutting and pasting it...and then reformating it. This is very time consuming especially working with big legal documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Signing the offer letters and then having them complete their onboarding at the same time. It's made the work on the backend much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ease?

So easy to use. Our staff can do use the program any time of the day or night when it fits their schedule. If they need help I can login andwork with them if they are having issues or just need to understand something better. We've been using since Dec 2019 renewal. It keeps getting better and better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ease?

I have not found anything I dislike. We use it year around for new hires. Makes it so much easier when annual benefits comes around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ease:

You really can't go wrong with this software. We use it year around for all our new hires now as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It allows the staff to see everything they need and can ask questions of myself if needed. It's all there at their fingertips. It cuts down on me having to hound people to get it done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ease?

As an HR manager, I can quickly see where people are in the enrollment process. Employees can quickly see what their monthly expense is for each benefit election. As the manager, I can take the expenses and enter them into our payroll system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ease?

I cannot tell when our broker has uploaded info to the portal. I struggled at first with the learning curve of using the site. The templates aren't very intuitive. It would be nice to have that made more accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ease:

Watch the training videos before starting anything on the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am solving the reconciliation issues between payroll and Ease. Everything is accurate from start to finish. Employees know how much their deductions will be for the enrolled benefits. I can review that with them quickly and get their questions answered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ease?

Ease has great integration for the client, broker and carrier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ease?

I would like to see a bit more customization for brokers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ease:

I would highly recommend Ease as a great option for brokers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The biggest solution we have has been paper elimination and faster enrollments. As a broker, Ease has allowed us to eliminate the paper enrollments and become digital. Doing this electronically also speeds up the enrollment process for employees, allowing them to get their ID cards more timely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's user-friendly so my employees and I often know what's going on with their benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't find a help desk number, I have questions and don't know where to turn. I'm confused about some aspects such as the drop-down for open enrollment versus current enrollment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is very easy to send to my employees, especially during open enrollment. It's very self-explanatory when signing up for benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
