The fact that all on-boarding is online with this product virtually eliminating the need for paper file containing employee sensitive documents.

I wish it had the capability to do Employee Performance Reviews.
Response from UZIO

Uzio is a great tool
Pros
I like that the tool is very easy to use for benefits on boarding. Many of my co-workers have told me how much they love the open enrollment process.
Cons
It took some time to figure out how to change/update someone's information. I had to reach out to my Uzio contact. The pencil at the top of the page wasn't obvious.
Keeps my payroll up to date
Helps keep payroll deductions balanced
Pros
like that I can go in anytime to see what deductions are being withheld from my employees, make changes and terminate coverage. Helps keep my payroll deductions balanced.
Cons
My only issue is that it doesn't sync in the other software that I use
UZIO 2019
its multi functional which helps but time saving

NA -Trial only
Pros

Not familiar enough to review on negative aspects.
Uzio is very Helpful

The initial set up of the system was rather chaotic.
Helps me stay organized
We use UZIO to track health benefits. It's an important part to keeping our records up to date and organized.

The software works fine for what we need it for.
Awesome company
Love it!
Pros
I love how user friendly it is, even my staff has no issues with using it, which is HUGE!
Cons
Absolutely nothing. We love everything about this system.
Not as easy as it looks
I am using the software to provide online enrollment for clients. I had lots of questions during the process of loading client information. The Uzio team was very responsive and helped me complete the project.
Pros
Once the information is loaded in the system, the employee experience is great.
Cons
It is not as intuitive as I expected. I am unable to customize menus. I needed lots of help setting up a client. Now that I have gone through the entire system it will get easier.
Response from UZIO
Thank you for your review, and glad to see that you feel more confident in using the system. Given the sheer amount of data requried to get an Open Enrollment operational for a client, we realize the setup process can take some time--which is why we align a dedicated service representative to load your data to the system. If you have any questions about the set up process, you can always reach out to your dedicated service representive.
Amazing portal
Overall it has been wonderful
Pros
We were using highly paid software but when we saw the free trial of UZIO, we were amazed. All the required features were available at affordable pricing. Even the customer service is amazing. We just love it
Cons
Nothing till date. It has almost all the features a small business would require
Great Solution for SMBs
Uzio is the perfect solution for our smaller clients who are transitioning away from paper-based enrollments. The basic platform is clean and straightforward, and clients can take advantage of the premium modules as they become more comfortable with online benefit administration.
Pros
Uzio is intuitive and extremely easy to build for our clients. I really appreciate the level of control we have in maintaining the client portals; we can make changes and fix errors instantly instead of waiting days (or longer) for a service team to do it for us.
If their are issues we can't resolve on our own, our the Uzio team is extremely responsive and investigates things quickly. They are also very proactive about supporting our needs as brokers and asking for our perspective and input regarding future product enhancements.
Cons
We had difficulty with the payroll integration back when they partnered with Execupay (we have not tested the integration they've since developed in-house).
Response from UZIO
Thank you for the positive and encouraging feedback, and we are thrilled to hear how much the Uzio platform has assisted you to manage your benefits business!
As of 2020, Uzio Payroll is now developed in-house instead of relying on a third-party provider. As a result, our BenAdmin, HR and Payroll offerings are now fully integrated and in control by our team.
Great new product in a crowded space
My job has become more efficient from hiring to onboarding to offering benefits to our team. Enrollment period will be managed professionally and our employees now have a platform to log in and view their benefits, payroll, etc. They took our small business and made us look like a big corporation.
Pros
Integration was extremely easy, their team is amazing and responsive. Great features that encompass the full spectrum. A game changer for a small business looking to simplify and improve benefits to their team.
Cons
Features are still being built out - especially in Payroll. BUT I know when they are complete, it will be the easiest payroll product out there.
Software
A very good one
Pros
Very useful and clever
Very glad to use it
Cons
Nothing all the software is good and simple
Great tool
Very good, great tools and easy to use.
Pros
Software is very easy to use even with no training.
Cons
I cannot think of anything in that regards as I am very satisfied with the software.
Great Product for HR Benefits Administration
I was very pleased and will recommend it to all of my clients as an great onboarding and ongoing HR tool.
Pros
It is very user friendly and easy on the eyes.
Cons
Too many features that a small company would not need.
End User
It wasn't bad. I personally did not have a whole lot of time to utilize it the way it should have been used.
Pros
It was fairly easy to integrate new hires in to the system.
Cons
Did not use it often enough to have a least favorite.
Benefit Management
We unfortunately switched companies and policies so didn't get to use it long but its a good product.
Pros
training was provided for free; its a simple way to manage your benefits
Cons
Nothing, we used it for adding/ deleting insurance coverage's and terminations for employees, small groupl
Just another application
Just seems like any other system
Pros
It has a sleek look and they spent the time on good marketing.
Cons
Unfortunately, it doesn't do anything valuable.
Very user-friendly software and interface.
It's been very pleasant and have had no problems accessing features of the site.
Pros
The ease of access, consolidating various benefits into one.
Cons
There are no features as of yet that I dislike.
DID NOT MAKE FULL DISCLOSURE AT TIME OF PRESENTATION
FINALLY, UZIO CONFIRMED THAT THEY COULDN'T PROVIDE THE BENEFIT COSTS AND EXPLANATION OF THE LTD, BASIC AND VOLUNTARY LIFE. THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD HAVE THESE BENEFITS AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER WHICH IS WHAT WE TOLD THE CLIENT BUT NOW THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT IT WONT BE AVAILABLE THEN EITHER.
AS I WORKED WITH UZIO AND THE STAFF OF THE GENERAL AGENCY, I CAN SAY I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN UZIO'S LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY MADE YOU FELL LIKE THEY ARE THE CUSTOMER NOT US. I'VE BEEN AN INSURANCE BROKER FOR OVER 53 YEARS AND THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE WORSE VENDORS I'VE EVER WORKED WITH. I'VE TOLD THE GENERAL AGENT THAT I WILL NOT USE THEM WITH ANY MORE OF MY CLIENTS.
Pros
WHAT THE SOFTWARE WAS PROGRAMMED TO DO WAS OK BUT THE PRESENTATION TO THE CLIENT WAS THAT UZIO COULD COMMUNICATES ALL OF THE EMPLOYERS BENEFITS TO THERE EMPLOYEES.
UZIO SHOULD OF FIRST REVIEWED ALL OF THE BENEFITS THE EMPLOYERS WAS OFFERING TO THERE EMPLOYEES BEFORE THE PRESENTATION. IT WOULD OF SAVED A LOT OF EMBARRASSMENT.
Cons
THE SOFTWARE IS WELL SHORT OF BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE EMPLOYER BENEFITS TO EMPLOYEES. THIS EMPLOYER OFFERED SEVERAL MEDICAL PLAN OPTIONS, DENTAL, VISION, LTD , BASIC LIFE ALL 100% EMPLOYER PAID PLUS EMPLOYEE AND SPOUSAL VOLUNTARY LIFE. THE SOFTWARE WAS NOT CAPABLE OF SHOWING THE LTD, BASIC AND VOLUNTARY LIFE. I ALSO FOUND THAT THE STAFF WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH READING AND UNDERSTANDING INSURANCE CONTRACTS. TO MUCH TIME WAS WASTED IN CORRECTING AND EXPLAINING THERE INPUT.
Response from UZIO
We appreciate your inputs, and learned your case in detail, and found that we were requested to upload data of the past 2 years which was not in the same format so it was supposed to be done manually. We had to reload group data 5 plus times due to inconsistent information received from the GA. Our customer success team really tried hard to accommodate the requirements but a few were out of the scope as we discussed initially over the call.
We would love to work with you in future as our offerings would grow. For any further assistance, please reach out to [email protected]
Uzio Feedback
Overall we have had a positive experience with our transition to Uzion. I will admit it was frustrating at first due to the transition being done right before open enrollment, which caused delays and benefit elections to be entered incorrectly, resulting in multiple corrections after the fact.
Pros
As the Administrator, I am able to log in and act on behalf of the employee. This allows me to assist those employees who may not have access as needed and/or technical skills to navigate the process.
I also like the reporting functions, to be able to run reports for employee benefits; to ensure benefit elections match provider billing statements.
Cons
The availability for the administrator to have access to the benefit coverage documents that can only be seen under the employee tab and their individual elected benefits.
Wonderful enrollment software
Pros
The features, ease of use, customer service, and pricing were the reasons I chose this software over some of the more established companies in this field.
Cons
As a newer company, there were/are some growing pains, but home office support has been exceptional through this.
UZIO Review
UZIO has been great for our smaller groups without a benefits or payroll platform. They way we are established with UZIO, it is a starter system.
Pros
Ease of use on the end user side is great. Auto communication for benefits enrollment is awesome.
Cons
No file feeds with the exception of Discovery Benefits. There is no ADHOC reporting. Proposal set-up can be tedious. Benefit set-up for Disability plans is limited.
Response from UZIO
Thanks for the feedback, specifically regarding reports, which we will look to address in a future product release. Additionally, we are always happy to work with the broker to make introductions to your carrier contacts and help you get EDI files established for your book of business.
We have had an amazing relationship with Uzio and their support team from the day we started working with them. Any time there is a question, support is extremely helpful in getting it resolved in a timely manner.
