Zenefits is a free, cloud-based core-HR platform. It primarily services small to mid-sized businesses and provides time management and benefits administration capabilities.
The only direct competitor for Zenefits I looked at was ADP Resource and found that Zenefits was easier to start with and more cost-effective for our needs.
Paychex Flex is better and more robust and at a lower cost. They will actually respond to your emails as well.

I have only used Gusto as an employee, not an administrator. I found both Zenefits and Gusto to be user-friendly and easy from the employee perspective. Ultimately, as an administrator, I went with Zenefits because they offer a discount for nonprofit organizations.
I personally run two businesses and have had no problems receiving support from Gusto. In my opinion, it has been an absolute delight in comparison to Zenefits.

We selected Zenefits because of good sales pitched and touted integrations and it turned out we had no after sale support nor integration were straight forward.
I love how easy it is to run payroll with zenefits. Having close to 300 employees can make it a challenging task, but the software is so user friendly that uploading it all is a breeze and then all deductions, contributions, taxes, etc. is taken care of from there! Plus having …
Easier to use and more modern. Everything on Zenefits is quick and easy to access, if I can't figure something out or have any questions I can call the help desk and I get a real person to help me navigate where I need to go and what I need to do.
I have only used Zenefits within the last couple of years. I don't remember the other platforms that we used back in the day. I will tell you this, Zenefits is the only platform I want to use currently and moving forward. This platform is very user-friendly and I don't plan on …
My last job had something similar to Zenefits but it functioned very poorly - half the time it was so glitchy and you weren't able to log in correctly or the screen would be white. My experience with Zenefits has been night and day in comparison because I can actually retrieve …
I have never used a platform similar to Zenefits. I worked at Lifetime and they had developed their own platform but it wasn't user-friendly and we didn't have access to an app on our own device if you weren't a hiring manager. I prefer Zenefits because it enables you to check …
Zenefits beats both these products for my organization because Zenefits streamlines processes, offers state of the art functionality for my organization, and is user friendly for my employers. The other two products, although good, are archaic in design and difficult for …
Both Paychex and ADP are great payroll companies. However, its' bells and whistles are not always needed for a smaller company. Zenefits offers just the right amount of service and at a better value.

When we were considering HR software back in 2015, we set up demos and reviewed many different options, but based upon the needs of our company Zenefits was the best choice with where our company was at the time and it offered the flexibility using customization for where we …
