June 3, 2022 5.0 Effortless Admin is just an amazing team and the customer service incredible. A special thanks to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] who was there from the start and always available to answer my questions. Pros The Effortless Admin platform is just incredible, so easy to use for employees /administrators and online enrollment saved us a lot of time. Employees have now access to manage their own file online and all the changes are directly sent to our provider. Cons I've nothing negative to say about that software. When I had a change to do at the beginning of the process, the team was always there to fix it. Review Source BN Betty N.

Always willing to help out when we have questions and are on top of my requests. Enjoy working with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]. Software is easy to use and understand. From an employee's perspective it can be confusing but EA has addressed our concerns and working on solutions for 2022. Pros Great customer service, friendly employees, user friendly and innovative. Cons Can cause some confusion with employees due to multiple platforms and vendors we work with.

Pros The support staff for Effortless Admin is probably the most helpful and friendly team I have ever worked with. They are VERY timely, help assist with any problem (big or small), and are very nice and easy to get along with. I enjoy working with every single person from their team. Cons I don't have any knocks other than we haven't set it up to integrate with our payroll system. Review Source SM Scott M. Payroll & Benefits Administrator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of Effortless Admin" June 20, 2022 5.0 Overall experience has been very good as the software makes my job easier. Pros I like that the product is easy to use, the user interface has been setup well and is easy to navigate. Cons I would like it better if the software was able to interface to most payroll software's which would make it easier to transfer information to the other systems I use. Review Source AI Amber I. Payroll and benefits specialist Mining & Metals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent customer service" June 2, 2022 5.0 EA saves me hours each month on my billing. Pros The customer service to my employees is excellent, I always receive good feedback from employees when using the chat function or contacting EA directly. They excel in customer service. Cons The links to the insurance company do not always work for employees and it can be frustrating, I believe it's a browser issue? Review Source MB Molly B. Sr Payroll & Benefits Specialist Market Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Product is user friendly " February 7, 2023 5.0 Very good experience Pros Product is user friendly and straightforward, all sorts of reports fit in our need. Cons Very user friendly, training for the product for employee is straightforward. Review Source KB Kulmeet B. HR Generalist Mining & Metals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fast Customer Service/Assistance" June 3, 2022 5.0 When i have questions, the Effortless Admin Service team are very quick at responding to any emails and inquiries. Pros Its easy to navigate through, no training needed. Cons I wish Effortless Admin could also include our RRSP plan with Manulife. Not sure if this is something we can do as I enroll employees separately onto Manulife's website. Review Source FW Frank W. Internal Consultant Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Chimo Youth Retreats experience" February 6, 2023 5.0 Very knowledgeable and always willing to step in and explain when I am not sure. The software is very user friendly even for somebody who should be retired. The staff are amazing at helping me negotiate the system when I get stuck. Pros As a low tech type of person, I am most comfortable with the software. I like that it is really very intuitive. Cons There are occasions where I get stuck which is just as likely to be my issue rather than the software. I have no real issues with software other than negotiating upgrades on occasion. Review Source LW Lisa W. Payroll Administrator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User Friendly Website" February 14, 2023 5.0 Pros how easy it is to move around from tab to tab and if you miss something it doesn't allow you to move on. Cons Reports are not the best but manageable Review Source MP Matthew P. Account Executive Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Unbelievable customer service/support" May 8, 2026 5.0 Excellent. Attaching above pro's response. Pros I recently had to add my Fiance as a dependent on my benefits and was unaware but had past the deadline to have her automatically added. I had a firm deadline for when I needed to get her added and I have to say the customer support from (\[sensitive content hidden\]) and pro-active approach he took was one of my better experiences across any company I've worked with. Not only did he guide me through what was required, review my application to ensure it was correct and identify issues before it was sent off, but he knew my timeline and worked tirelessly to ensure it got approved within the time frame needed. He genuinely cared about the outcome and I couldn't be more appreciative. \[sensitive content hidden\] deserves to be recognized for his excellent work. Cons The only thing I wish I knew was that a common law spouse, or any time of dependent needs to be added within 30 days of first being eligible. Not sure if this is for effortless admin to communicate or the insurer themselves. Review Source SM Sean M. VP Finance. Law Enforcement Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy for system administrators. " October 16, 2024 5.0 It’s been great. I have no issues at all. Pros Easy to use. Very friendly for system administrators. Cons Nothing of note. The system is easy to use. Switched from [Maximum](https://www.capterra.com/p/10020189/Maximum/) Ease of use for the administrator. The switch from our old system was very user friendly. Review Source IN Ivy N. Payroll Adminitrator Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "User friendly system" September 19, 2024 5.0 Effortless Admin is great overall. Whenever I have a question or issue, I always receive an answer or advice back from Customer Support team very quick. This software makes my job easier. Pros The Customer Support team is very supportive and helpful. They are quick to respond via email or live chatbot. The product is easy to use both for admin and team members. Cons This app didn't interface with our payroll system. Therefore, I need to transfer or update information manually. Review Source LR Lindsay R. Bookkeeper and Office Administrator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Effortless Admin is truly effortless!" September 20, 2024 5.0 From beginning to end it was a great experience. Implementation was a breeze and everyone was so friendly and helpful. Pros The chat support is by far the best feature. To be able to have someone available to talk to when you are in the middle of something and just need a quick answer is so valuable. Cons I don't have anything bad to say about Effortless Admin.

Manager, HR Operations North America Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Effortless Admin is true to their name - they make Benefits Administration "effortless"" June 8, 2022 5.0 Effortless Admin is a wonderful Benefit Administrator who is constantly looking to grow and improve their processes. Their customer service is absolutely phenomenal - they are responsive, clear and concise with answers and they will go above and beyond to reach out to our Benefit Provider and resolve the issue on our behalf (even when we didn't ask them to)! If you are looking for a partner who will make life easier (from a Benefits Administrator perspective), look no further because Effortless Admin is the partner for you! Pros The product is very easy to use, the customer service is exceptional and the integration was seamless. Our organization is growing so quickly yet Effortless Admin is easily able to keep up with our exploding headcount. With a growing organization comes a changing set of needs, Effortless Admin is always willing to listen and where they can, accommodate our list of requests to make our lives easier (whether they can implement it immediately or build it into a future feature roll out). Their customer service is top notch, they are very quick to respond via email or the live chatbot and always provide amazing support to our team! They are always willing to go above and beyond to assist us and our employees! When we engaged Effortless Admin, we had huge concerns about the enrollment process - we were looking for a partner to make our lives easier. We can from a very archaic system where the enrollment process was extremely manual for both the employer and the employees. However, Effortless Admin has a very intuitive and easy platform for us and the employees. We are able to log into the platform and send reminder emails to employees who haven't enrolled which is incredibly helpful to nudge the employees. Also, we can easily see an audit trail of the enrollment process for each individual employee (i.e. when the original enrollment email was sent, when any reminder emails were sent, if the employee opened the email and when, etc.). Cons The two biggest cons for our organization is: 1) The email notification sent to us with a list of employees who completed their benefit enrollment is super useful but currently capped at displaying 10 employee names - if there are more employees who completed their enrollment, the email notification simply shows the last line as "5 more..." without displaying the employee names. This can be very hard to track who those remaining employees are. Effortless Admin has already been made of our request and plans on implementing this change as a future feature update so we can see all employee names in the email. 2) If an employee is being onboarded way before their start date, Effortless Admin's platform will wait until the month that the employee starts before processing their Benefit enrollment. This can sometimes delay the onboarding process from an administrative perspective as we cannot see what selections the employee made until their enrollment is processed. Review Source MQ Maureen Q. Strategic HR Specialist and Team Lead, North America Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effortless Admin review" June 7, 2022 5.0 I like how if we were to ever change insurers, we can keep using EA (for most insurers), no need to transfer info-more seamless experience for benefits administrators and members. Pros Easy to use, simple interface, chat feature with direct access to an EA rep is AMAZING when you want quick answers to queries. Cons Sometimes confusing for members --they have to enroll in EA but this is not the actual insurer. 2 different logins for them, differences for system use (EA does enrollment, but insurer is the site for submitting claims, updating direct deposit). For administrators, sometimes a query to EA requires time for them to investigate as they are not as versed in the plan as going to the insurer directly. Sometimes there is confusion on who to send forms to (insurer vs. EA, sometimes both, process is unclear). Review Source LB Linda B. Payroll & Benefits Specialist Automotive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Effortless Admin is great!" June 3, 2022 5.0 Effortless Admin has been great overall. Whenever I have a question, I always receive an answer back from the Benefits team fairly quickly. If they are unable to answer or solve the issue right away, they always have suggestions on what I can do in the meantime. Pros My favourite part of Effortless Admin is that it is easy to use for both team member and admin. We came from a system that was not easy to use and had no access for the team member. I have received a ton of feedback from the team that it is so great for everything from initial enrollment to adding new family members or changing your address. We are very happy that we made this change. Cons I don't have anything that I would say that I don't like about the software. Review Source KP Kaitlyn P. HR Specialist Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Effortless Admin & GGFL" June 3, 2022 5.0 The best thing about Effortless Admin is that it syncs with our HRIS - BambooHR so it saves time. Secondly, we have flexibility to switch providers for lower rates and don't have all the cumbersome form-filling that is usually involved in switching. Pros The site is definitely user-friendly and their team is very quick to answer any inquiries we have had along the way. Huge shout out to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] who has been amazing! Cons There were some hiccups when we created another division, however it's hard to say whether this way on Effortless Admin's end of Sun Life's end. Review Source Nomi M. HR Director, CHRL, CHRP Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Comprehensive and easy to use product" June 3, 2022 5.0 Pros Easy to use, informative and always someone to support us if we have queries Cons Not really too much to add in this area. Review Source NZ Nan Z. Senior Accountant Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "good experience" February 6, 2023 5.0 My experience is really positive with Effortless Admin. I got support quickly enough. When the representative cannot give me a quick answer during the live chat, they always get back to me in a timely manner. Pros The online customer support is very helpful to seek instant help. Cons Nothing on top of my mind. The billing statement can be more detailed, especially when there is back charge or back credit happens. Review Source NN Nicole N.

They are always very helpful. Pros I enjoyed using the software, it is very user friendly. Cons I feel employees that are on mat leave should still be listed in the system so when they return I can click on it to submit the information. Review Source BE Barbara E. Vice President of Human Resources Environmental Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Effortless Admin Review " June 3, 2022 4.0 Great! Pros The team was great to deal with. Very responsive, professional and accurate. Cons As a user I can’t find my monthly employee deduction amount. The system advised me of the amount when I first enrolled. I looked for it yesterday and couldn’t find it Reason for choosing Effortless Admin We were switching our plan to include multiple carriers and could no longer manage this in-house Review Source PM Patti M. Office Administrator Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effortless Admin Pros" February 7, 2023 5.0 Pros We switched benefit providers at the same time that we started using Effortless Admin.

Cons I can't think of anything that I would change ! Review Source CM Celine M. Head of People and Culture Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Game changer!" June 3, 2022 5.0 Pros Effortless Admin has made benefits so easy! The platform is incredibly user-friendly and if I ever needed any help the team is always accessible and super quick to respond. The onboarding process was smooth and it has made administering and managing benefits so much easier. Cons It was initially a little confusing to make changes to employee profiles once they were already active however the team was very easy to work with and they answered all of my questions quickly to make sure I understood how to do everything.
