Overall Satisfaction with TriNet

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use TriNet to handle payroll and human resources. We use it across our U.S. based company. It helps that TriNet has coverage over the entire country.

Pros and Cons

Pros

TriNet has a great support staff on their 800 number.
The account reps are very accessible.
TriNet offers workshops for HR managers to attend.

Cons

TriNet sometimes does not have all the functionality that are needed like OSHA.

Usability

I have worked with larger companies and companies that are in the same size, but TriNet stands out with its excellent customer service. The website is very useful.

Return on Investment

Organization may have used TriNet to improve payroll accuracy, to stay within HR compliance and to reduce the time HR spent on administrative tasks

Alternatives Considered

ADP Enterprise eTIME

ADP is terrible for small business. They send you mountains of paper and have very little, if any customer service. Trying to get someone on the phone with them is virtually impossible.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think that TriNet is great for smaller businesses. The website is very useful.
