Overall Satisfaction with Zenefits

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.
  • Payroll
  • Health Benefits
  • Quarterly Taxes
  • PTO
  • 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.

Do you think TriNet HR Platform delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with TriNet HR Platform's feature set?

Yes

Did TriNet HR Platform live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of TriNet HR Platform go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy TriNet HR Platform again?

Yes

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.
