What do you like best about PlanSource?

I like how the benefits are displayed on the new update. This seems more user friendly. The action bullets are amazing. That is a major plus with the new update. The new dashboard is probably the best thing about the new update. All the information is right there in front. That is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSource?

I like the new update but the there are other things that are not easy to find or run like reporting. I suggest that PlanSource create a webinar with the new look and how to navigate. The only other issue that I have is the customer service on responding to inquiries. It takes over week or more. I have emails to prove. And I cannot understand how the new hire processing works after all this time so this is an option that we do not use anymore. It takes to long to upload new hire information and then it errors out if you do not have the correct format. This is very important for our company and if they were to change anything about PlanSource. Loading the new hires would be at the top of my list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PlanSource:

As I suggested, I believe that PlanSource should create a webinar on not only the new update but also what capabilities that PlanSource has. I believe that there are options that we are not currently using due to not knowing that they are available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The issues that we have recently had resolved were due to open enrollment. Again, customer service was very slow on responding. This took almost two weeks to respond. My suggestion is either hire more employees are train the employees that you have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PlanSource?

I like that we can now use PlanSource for online enrollments and that it will house all enrollments now for various vendors instead of going into 5 different platforms to sign people up for benefits. I also like that I have one person that I work with when I have issues. Maribel Medina has been awesome to work with. She's patient and works hard to get our platform working correctly. Our benefit structure is very complicated and she's been wonderful with getting it right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSource?

I wish reporting options were a little more user friendly. I can't always pull the information I want, especially when it comes to ONLY changes for Open Enrollment. I have to sort through the information to pick out the changes. I also don't like that I can't delete people out of the system that are retired or no longer employed and I'm manually deleting them from reports.

I would love to have a little more control in the platform such as entering my own paragraph to explain benefits and be able to update that at any time rather than sending it to our rep to do. It would also be nice to be able to update our own costing. Our benefit structure is very complex and it would be nice to have more control over that so I can make sure it's calculating correcting rather than trying to explain how it should work.

I love working with Maribel. The downfall is the time difference. It would be great to have someone to work with in the morning especially when I need a quick fix. The alternative to that would be having the ability to update certain things myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Online Enrollment is a huge help as well as having all vendor enrollments in one spot. Still working out some kinks and getting used to the platform but it will be a huge time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PlanSource?

The biggest upside to using Plansource is the ease of use for our employees - from the portal to the contact center, I know our employees are getting correct information in a timely manner. The most important thing when choosing a benefit platform was the employee experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSource?

The only dislike was during Open Enrollment configuration, it was determined that a few hard coded Spanish translations in the system were incorrect, and it took a few months to fix these issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PlanSource:

You're going to get a very high-touch experience with the PlanSource team. PS not only has the benefits technology to accurately represent your package to your employees, but a very high level of customer service to their administrators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Plansource has taken a huge burden off of the benefit team's daily workload - from day-to-day administration such as invoice balancing and processing, to EOI and Life event monitoring. This has allowed our team to be more present in the strategic benefits conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PlanSource?

The greatest upside to utilizing Plansource is the usability for our workers - from the entrance to the contact focus, I realize our representatives are getting right data in a convenient way. The most significant thing when picking an advantage stage was the representative experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSource?

Nothing truly to disdain about the product. Just abhorrence is hanging tight for customization in the product and procedure because of our plan of action, yet that is not blame to Plansource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PlanSource:

I would prescribe month to month compromise to your statistics inside the framework to guarantee exactness or revealing. Give close consideration during your agreement restoration process; they have attempted to push enormous rate increments on us previously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

PlanSource has for all intents and purposes wiped out the manual advantages organization. Actually, I cherish that it has encouraged revealing, charging, following new contracts and incorporates a case the board include. Regardless of whether I don't make a move, I am consistently on the know about what PlanSource has finished with a given representative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PlanSource?

I love how proactive our implementation and support teams have been - even the few times they don't know the answer off the bat. They are solution oriented. They really are knowledgeable of their software (front and back) and of benefits. The implementation allowed us to input all the rules we needed in our plans - something we didn't have with a previous vendor. Which resulted in easier billing! I feel like I can trust all the information in the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSource?

This is tough. There is not something that I truly dislike. There has only one instance in which a special pop-up box we requested had some code showing in the text portion. It took a couple of weeks to get resolved. It was inconvenient at the time just because it was "something for us to check back on" . However, our rep kept us updated of the change processed and followed through till it was resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

PlanSource has virtually eliminated the manual benefits administration. Personally, I love that it has facilitated reporting, billing, tracking new hires and includes a case management feature. Even if I don't take action, I am always on the know of what PlanSource has done with a given employee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PlanSource?

The instant chats with Plan Source employees when you need an answer quick and they can walk you through the process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSource?

I dislike the search feature, you have to be very specific when typing a search. It needs to include other words, we don't always remember the proper title. Also the new Beta option, I turned this off, I can't seem to see the effective date and what I am approving when it comes to qualifying events. Some employees like to use this time to cancel voluntary insurances instead of just making changes to the ones that pertain to the qualifying event. Maybe a feature can be included in this segment. Allow additions and not both additions and declining Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Problems I have been facing is what is in the confirmation page of an employee profile is not what is being billed on the monthly statement. A Census needs to be generated to cross check those and sent over to carriers to make sure that they have the same coverages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PlanSource?

Their annual support team has been extremely helpful during this VERY BUSY time of the year. They are so attentive and have responded quickly to all of our clients' inquiries as we went through configuration, testing, and the employees' annual enrollment window. This makes such a big difference for our clients. Honestly, out of all the client vendors I've worked with, PlanSource has stood out as going above and beyond: very professional, exceptional attention to detail and outstanding responsiveness. It has all made such a positive impact on our clients' annual enrollment experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSource?

I do not have any downsides to report about PlanSource at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PlanSource?

Plansource kept us on track with weekly status updates. They provided a lot of support with set up and did most of the work to get us started on the back end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSource?

I haven't found anything that I would say I overall dislike. I think if you are multi state and have many different sub groups, plan set up can be a bit overwhelming with the different rules, but that is to be expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are in the beginning stages of using PlanSource so we have not yet experienced any problems. The benefit for us in using Plansource is having a much better communication tool for our benefit plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
