"Worst support EVER! Stay away if you wan't help after you sign up."
What do you like best about Benefitfocus?

They will actually talk to you around OE, but during and after, don't expect any cases to be answered or any communication whatsoever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Benefitfocus?

Very disappointed in the support and program capability from Benefitfocus. We have been a customer for 5+ years and trying to get support from them is horrible. You will have a different account manager every couple of months who knows nothing about the previous problems, and isn't willing to figure them out. Nothing is seamless and there are many glitches. This system will leave you very disappointed unless you have no intentions of looking for support when the functions don't work. I would steer clear of them for sure.

"Benefit focus ain't Focussed. They are extreemly poor in what they do."
What do you like best about Benefitfocus?

Nothing - that are horrible to work with. First you talk to an AI that cant even anser question and sends you to another AI then finally so someone that is polite and cant do anything and does not understand what they are doing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Benefitfocus?

They could not answer one question. They show I have and paid for insurance but BCBS has no record of the coverage. Benefit Focus keeps sending me back to the insurance company but they keep saying I have no coverage. I don't think BenefitFocus knows what insurance is and that it has to be paid for. I need to pick up diabetic supplies will pay out of pocket $$$$ as they can't help. The keep telling me to call the insurance company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just getting new to this process so it makes it difficult to say what I dislike. The help and support and the ease of use of the system is great for admins and employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust system accommodates our needs for benefits enrollment and recordkeeping."
What do you like best about Benefitfocus?

System electronic enrollment and record keeping enables offering of multiple plan options; direct reporting to carriers; electronic input from payroll. Ease of employee access and navigation; employees readily understood logic behind functionality in the system; tools enabling employees' comparison of plans to make an educated election of coverage on an individual basis. Benefitfocus very well-prepared to test configuration of system before moving to production. Implementation managed very well. Data and reporting tools in system support our internal billing as well as payment to carriers for elected coverage; analysis of benefits usage. Client community forum for vetting suggested updates and enhancements supports responsiveness to customer needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Benefitfocus?

Sometimes technical support is not knowledgeable of our plan designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One Place Local event "
What do you like best about Benefitfocus?

I attended the One Place Local event in Arizona in May and was also lucky enough to attend the One Place Local event in Charleston. Not only was the material different, which I was extremely excited about, but at the One Place Local events you will always have different conversations amongst your peers. It's always a great opportunity for networking!

It's very apparent that Benefitfocus cares about their clients! There is a dedicated Benefitfocus team-member who takes down notes on hot topics, areas of concerns, etc. We even had a break out session where our opinions could impact the next annual One Place event in 2019. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Benefitfocus?

I am never disappointed when leaving events held by Benefitfocus. They are always beneficial! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Benefit Administration System"
What do you like best about Benefitfocus?

Trying to get historical data could be difficult and the audit trails were not great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Responsive, Insightful"
What do you like best about Benefitfocus?

I generally enjoy the opportunity to collaborate with the developers and thought leaders that create the product I am purchasing and using. By showing an interest in how their customers utilize their product, they are showing a willingness to adapt and have a vision for the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Benefitfocus?

The development process is often a few steps behind competitors. In some cases, I believe that BF is a tad too "internally focused" and often does not raise their head up to see what competitors in their market are doing. Given that we live in an arms-race for new features and deliverables, not keeping up with the Joneses can negatively affect customers who also are in a competitive marketplace.

"Having the Confidence that BF Cares about your company"
What do you like best about Benefitfocus?

Their Commitment, Website for Employee's Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Benefitfocus?

Cases take to long to be solved & you should be able to fix it ourselves all we need is the information on how. Also the Website needs more information on how to set it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
