Overall Satisfaction with TriNet

TriNet is our PEO/HRIS system. We use TriNet in almost every aspect of our jobs. We have struggled with TriNet in almost every one of these aspects. We have also had to create extensive work around for many of the processes in TriNet. Over all I would say TriNet has added an extensive amount of admin time on to my teams plates. We also feel that we have to constantly audit the system as it seems to fail at odd time in odd ways. For instance, a team member takes vacation, it shows paid in the system, but their taken balance shows 0. Or even though we set the system up upon implementation to not allow team members to go into the negative on their leave balances, after over a year they still do. When we bring it up, there is no good explanation or it is indicated that it must some how be our fault. We also have issues with response time, the understaffed leave team, the seemingly understaffed tax team, the time and attendance platform, the training platform, the reports and analytics platform, etc.
  • Compliance
  • Non integrated time and attendance platform
  • Final pay - term process
  • Reports and analytics
  • Fees, so many fees
  • No job costing for multiple locations
  • Compliance education
  • the addition of work arounds to make this system work for us
  • poor employee experience
Most of the system is pretty easy to use, though that doesn't mean it works well. In my experience, the reports and analytics have poor usability. I think the new learning platform has poor usability. In my experience, processing payroll is a huge challenge.
Our HR support has been great and that is about it. Often, in my opinion, the caliber of response and response time leave much to be desired.

Do you think TriNet delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with TriNet's feature set?

No

Did TriNet live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of TriNet go as expected?

No

Would you buy TriNet again?

No

I feel like I already went over those in the previous questions. I do like how compliant TriNet is, though I think that does seem to be rather self-serving as well. In my opinion, TriNet seems to take a blanket approach to compliance which ends up costing our company more money than is necessary.
