What do you like best about PlanSource?

Plansource tells you exactly how much you're contributing per paycheck. At other companies I've worked at, W9s, benefits, payroll breakdowns all sat on different platforms. It was a pain in the butt. Now that we're using Plansource I can login and see ALL my contributions, deductions, and even Health ID cards! It's saved me in a pinch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSource?

I forget my username sometimes, and Plansource actually does not have an option to recover your username. You need to know the username of your account in order actually to reset your password, but I wish you were able to just verify via email or have two factor authentication. Luckily my Plansource admin was able to advise me of my username. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

HR problems all the way. Without Plansource everything would either be done by paper, or ADP codes. In addition it's nice to only have to recall one login to access my benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The billing process is daunting, and we have had many errors in the billing in the first year. We also are constantly comparing our records to theirs to make sure they apply payments correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are solving the billing issues. Our account management team always goes above and beyond for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PlanSource?

- The core of the system does work and integrates with other carriers as intended.

- It also has by far the fastest integration I've seen with Anthem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSource?

- Reporting system isn't very intuitive to create reports.

- Any upgrades have been focused on making UI prettier, but not more flexible or intuitive.

- There are many system limitations that do not allow you to set it exactly like you wanted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've given feedback to my OE rep and given comments on what I did not like about the system. Instead of acknowledging it was system limitations she would focus on what employees should do instead even though my concern was that they would not do it as they would like. For example, I made a comment that if someone selects an FSA amount and then deletes it in OE, it should go to $0 for the election, but it actually keeps the last amount entered even though it was deleted. When I brought this up in testing, the response was "EEs should enter $0 instead of the delete button" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
