Customer Service has overall been pretty good. There were times we didn't have all of the required information to set up our system correctly which then caused re-work.

What is most valuable?

Customization and platform configuration options - great to be able to customize it all to your specific needs and population.

For how long have I used the solution?

3 months

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

Yes, our implementation was very fast. There were times we didn't have all of the required information to set up our system correctly which then caused re-work. Security was difficult in that it was all from scratch - no real templates, starting points, best practices. So definitely a learning curve. Integrations are not yet complete so had a lot of issues getting those up and running (still). 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Not to my knowledge.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Not to my knowledge.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service has overall been pretty good - everyone is pretty friendly.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Yes, we used Workday. 

How was the initial setup?

Pretty complex, in my opinion - very different from other implementations I've gone through. Filling out the ACT form ourselves but really knowing how it all fit together in the end was a challenge.

What about the implementation team?

Sability

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

ADP and Ceridian.

What other advice do I have?

Good solution - still working out the kinks but confident we will get where we need to be!

I like the reporting tools and ease of employee self service.

What is most valuable?

Reporting tools and ease of employee self service.

How has it helped my organization?

Employees are able to easily enroll in new benefits online without any assistance.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see more options for automating 401k feeds/imports.

For how long have I used the solution?

5 months.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented with an in house team.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend that when implementing the product the actual coders be included in conversations.  Its seems that we are discussing issues with a third party which prolongs the process if questions or additional conversations are needed.
