Interesting question because everyone loves Zenefits like I said before we love it and mainly because it's super easy to use.

I give Zenefits a 10 because of it's easy accessibility.

  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Prior Experience with the Product
product usability would be the main reason because it's simple and easy to use.
I wouldn't.
  • Don't know
  • Not sure as when I was onboarded we were using Zenefits
No because when I was hired our company was already using Zenifits.
  • no training
Can't really say just because I would not know.
It went through successfully.
Yes, one of my favorite parts of Zenefits!
I think that the product's configurability is just right for this type of product.
not really like I said before our company did not have any issues.
No, I think I covered everything.
I give it a 10 because of the support that Zenefits gives, very responsive and helpful.
Not sure but I think we did and probably for those in our company that need help or have questions.
No
I haven't had any issues to be able to describe a good experience so maybe for next time.
Our employees love it and use it on a daily.
  • information given

The mobile app is literally my favorite thing about Zenefits.
Pages load quick I honestly can't say that I've had issues.

Zenefits is used throughout the whole organization since we're a small company. It allows employees to communicate their time ins and outs, request PTOs, and keeps track of their timesheets, and any office updates like employee handbooks.
  • Process our Quarterly Taxes.
  • Process our unemployment rates.
  • Sends reminders and inform employees of any time changes in payroll.
  • Limit one office device solely used for clocking in and out.
  • Or for employees' personal device to be tracked upon Wi-Fi connection as a clock in/out.
  • For the system to automatically let the team know someone's PTO has been approved, so that our Part-Time employee can take their spot.
Zenefits is definitely well-suited for small companies, probably because smaller companies are easier to manage. I've read that there are some complications if doing multiple locations under one company but I'm not there yet. We plan to set up another location, hopefully in the year 2021, and we'll continue with Zenefits anyway due to its ease of use.

  • Saves the headache on all taxes.
  • Reminder on Payroll dues.
  • Zenefits has a lot to offer -but it appears cluttered and gets some getting used to.
  • Good price for small companies.
  • Xero and ADP Resource (Discontinued)
Zenefits is just hip and modern compared to any other softwares I've used. It's very up-to-date, and constantly making HR experience very easy to follow. It's also constantly sending reminders and recommendations, especially with tools we may not be currently using at the moment. Since we aren't a very large company, we're not there yet, but I imagine once I hire a HR manager, this could become very beneficial for me to keep track of.

I've sent several questions to the Zenefits support team and they were responsive. [They were] fast, but if not, I usually got a reply within 24 hours. It would've been nice if they had the chat feature available 24/7 for any quick questions.
No, its pretty easy to use.

They give rewards! And we won several awards with them.
It's quite user-friendly as it doesn't take someone savvy to know how to use this software. It's mobility allows all users to check in anytime from anywhere. It also reduces the employees questioning on their documents or how to use.
