Modern UX seekers (Sequoia / Flock cleaner), buyers wanting aggressive innovation velocity (Sequoia better), or SMBs (Ease / Employee Navigator cheaper).
Enterprises (1,000-50,000 employees) wanting integrated Voya retirement plan + benefits administration in one vendor relationship, or large self-insured employers with complex benefits programs.
Why we say this
Editorial pulled these weaknesses from Benefitfocus’s product card in our Top 10 Benefits Administration Software for 2026:
- ! Post-Voya acquisition product velocity has been mixed
- ! UX dated relative to modern challengers
- ! Customer reports of pricing pressure 2024-2025
- ! Brand confusion through Voya transition
- ! Innovation pace below Businessolver on personalization
