    Considered Both Products
    ADP
    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    I have exited 3 PEOs now and brought my business to ADP in house. My experience is with TriNet's PEO, Paychex's PEO and ADP Workforce Now. ADP beats both TriNet PEO and Paychex PEO as I couldn't wait to exit from TriNet and Paychex. Workforce Now will eventually be in a …

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    TriNet is far easier to use than Workforce Now.

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    We have received quotes from Paychex and TriNet. Their competitors seem to have a more streamlined process. The only problem is they want to bundle their services with human resource management and our company already has in-house HR administration.

    Chose ADP Workforce Now
    The clarity of reporting was why I chose ADP - as well as the robustness of the employee portal & the mobile app. The payroll function is relatively standard, but we chose it for the level of control and flexibility it afforded, especially after coming out of a PEO solution …

    TriNet
    Chose TriNet
    better technology and consistency, more streamlined and the ADP product was not PEO
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    We switched from ADP to TriNet for better pricing, more user friendly interfaces for the HR and the employee side, and more pricing transparency.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    Response time is much better with TriNet. All parts of their site are well-designed for a smooth user experience. Administration costs are reasonable (some others are offensively high and remind you that you could just hire another FT employee to do this work).

    Chose TriNet
    HR Support and Time tracking for Meal Penalty.

    Chose TriNet
    TriNet outperforms ADP, Paycom, and paychex is support and compliance for sure. The only other system I've tried that has anything on TriNet's capabilites and interface is BambooHR... If I could mash the 2 systems together, I would!
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    ADP allowed for customization and access to change everything on their portal on behalf of employees.

    Chose TriNet
    TriNet provides lots of very personalized client service unlike ADP.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    We prefer TriNet because of the ease of use, and because several of us are familiar with TriNet from previous companies. Many employees also preferred TriNet for the same reasons. Employees appreciate having access to all their paystubs, W-2 forms etc. even long after they …

    Chose TriNet
    BambooHR is what we use Company-wide. We absolutely love it for its simplicity and user-friendliness, on that it really beats TriNet. That being said, we don't use BambooHR for payroll where TriNet seems to cover it really well and with the TriNet HR support team, we can always …

    Better benefit options.

    Chose TriNet
    TriNet's level of customer service and pricepoint is superior to the other companies we researched.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    We evaluated a few products for payroll and for benefits and at the time TriNet was the only one we found which offered a wide range of health care plans. We are considering evaluating other options again to see if there are cost savings or if down the line a product emerges …

    ADP is focused on payroll while TriNet takes a full stack approach.

    It is difficult to compare companies and services, but I really appreciate the personal attention and care my clients get from TriNet.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    ADP is not nearly as easy to communicate with or too helpful when assistance is needed. Nor do they assist with benefits administration.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    TriNet's system is similar in many respects to the HRIS and payroll systems offered by the other providers; what sets TriNet apart is the one stop shop for HR; everything is available under one provider with linked system functionality. In addition, most providers give you a …

    Chose TriNet
    We use Justworks quite a bit, but the difference is the designated support specialist. They only offer a general # to call into or a chat box. Also, they don't offer an audit prior to payroll processing, which I find helpful to keep accuracy and detect any errors. The JW …
