Everything, including the key factors, payroll, benefits, and service, is a 10. The software, particularly as a mobile experience, is just so-so.

Being only 8 months into using the product there are still some things I need to learn, but I am sure as we start to use the product to it's full potential the usability score will go up. The expense interface is a little clunky to what we have used in the past, but the employees are happier that they can have their expenses direct deposited instead of getting an expense check.

Good PEO for Small Multi-State Company

Rating: 9 out of 10
August 20, 2024
TriNet is very useable. I like that all integrations are in the same location even though they do take you to different sites and locations to get the actual integration.

I also like that I can flip between employee and administration view with just a click of a button, and it doesn't take me to a whole new site. The one issue with this is I find it challenging to be able to share my username/password with my spouse because I don't want him to inadvertently view other employees Personal Information.

TriNet- Great for Small Companies but Still Room for Improvement

I think the interface is a bit clunky and at time counterintuitive however, the tools available are invaluable. I would like to see a clean up of the interface, and not have so many paths to reach the same screen. I also think there are often time within the portal that I'm clicking a link that takes me to another link before I'm able to reach the destination.
