Overall Satisfaction with TriNet

We have 100+ employees and TriNet has been great in offering payroll and employee management. The platform allows for easy access in things like creating employee handbooks, employer laws and regulations in each state and I often call in for support on a variety of things such as HR Consultation, how to improve our reporting, and payroll issues.

Pros

  • Payroll Administration
  • Benefits Prep and Education
  • HR Consultation and Employer Law information with weekly updates

Cons

  • Training Video schedule. I would like access to these vides when is convenient for me
  • The ATS
  • The User Interface is a bit sloppy and confusing
  • Open Enrollment was streamlined and easy
  • Payroll and time keeping all in one place
  • The knowledge resource center is an easy way to brush up on best practices with HR and the wing is a great place to brainstorm with other HR professionals.
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.
I constantly call support and use the chat function for when I encounter issues. I have used support for things like platform problems with our review, payroll discrepancies, how to better use the reporting, how to create an employee handbook, and HR consultation on employment laws.

Do you think TriNet delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with TriNet's feature set?

Yes

Did TriNet live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of TriNet go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy TriNet again?

Yes

For smaller organizations without a robust payroll team to support payroll reporting and such TriNet is great. As well as great for those who don't have experience or know how to launch people and change management initiatives in their org. TriNet is great for choosing of benefits for your employees too.
