Considered Both Products	BASIC Guru No answer on this topic	Ease MP Makayla Plummer Director of HR Chose Ease Ease is much better and easier to use than Bernie Portal. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Ease While I did not make the decision to use Ease over Employee Nav, I do think Ease is easier to used and more user friendly on all sides (employee, employer, broker). From feedback from the employee side from an employee who has used both Ease and Employee Navigator, I think … Incentivized Helpful? EP Erica Payne HR Manager Chose Ease I have also used Hello Iris for benefit enrollment. After using Ease, I’d never go back. Ease was so much easier for our associates to use and was much easier to manage from an admin perspective. There were much fewer glitches and or freezes than with Hello Iris. Overall, … Incentivized Helpful? RD Rachel Davison HR Specialist Chose Ease We used Selerix BenSelect for a brief amount of time (we were able to use the system free of charge because our brokers at the time offered it). It wasn't quite as user-friendly/easy to figure out, but it definitely offered better reporting capability. The file feeds seemed to … Incentivized Helpful? Willie Pinkston Employee Benefit Consultant Chose Ease My general agency Warner Pacific recommended EaseCentral and I checked it out. Seemed like a great fit and well worth the investment. I know other colleagues that use and are happy with Employer Navigator and some of the other ones. I have not checked out many other options … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	BASIC Guru	Ease
Likelihood to Recommend	Guru is very well suited for storing lots of product information. It's very easy to tag and organize your Guru cards which makes it easy sort through later. You can also assign certain people the responsibility of making sure their team's Guru cards are up to date which also keeps everything clean, organized, and updated. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	If you do not currently have a benefits enrollment platform in your payroll system, Ease is a great option. It is simple to enroll employees and give them access so they can elect their benefits. I found this system especially helpful during open enrollment. From an admin side, the system was simple and easy to use and got the job done! Incentivized EP Erica Payne HR Manager Read full review
Pros	Google Chrome integration works great Easy and user-friendly UI Great tagging, sorting, and organizing capabilities Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	User interface is easy on the eyes. People seem to be able to pick it up really easy, it's simple to operate and has a nice clean look. It's insurance carrier & service vendor "agnostic"...works with every insurance carrier we work with and has numerous preferred vendor partnership with some of the other services our clients want access through all from EaseCentral. Great support team when questions arise. Pretty self explanatory. Incentivized Willie Pinkston Employee Benefit Consultant Read full review

Return on Investment	There was a steep learning curve for many in our team We mainly use Chrome integration and sometimes the application fails to load With thousands of Guru cards, searching up one specific card can sometimes be difficult as the query brings up so many results based on a key word Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It has saved time not doing paper enrollments. It has caused inaccurate reporting. Employees enjoy the self-service of enrollment. Incentivized RD Rachel Davison HR Specialist Read full review
