    Considered Both Products
    Paylocity
    Chose Paylocity
    Such a better engagment product and cost effective. They actually care about their customers and what they provide other than our experience with TriNet

    Chose Paylocity
    We came off of TriNet and we were wanting to get away from a PEO. After demos by Paylocity, Paycom, and ADP there were a couple of things that went into our decision. ADP was more expensive that we wanted and we had heard a long history of having to deal with technical …

    Chose Paylocity
    The all in one system (not add-ons like ADP), integration capabilities (IF they can ever get them working), and the control over my data (TriNet held all control).
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    TriNet is horrible -- no other words necessary! Against Rippling, Paylocity generally meets some of their functionality and value. Years ago we selected Paylocity because we were leaving ADP and needed more functionality, better customer service, etc. Paylocity was priced …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    We like Paylocity best. Overall we've found Paylocity's system to be more intuitive, flexible and full featured than some of these other systems. We also like their high level of support Paylocity provides, and proactive publishing of guidance when rules change around …

    Paylocity is very easy to navigate and has so many reports available to run. Everything is clearer and there is more visibility within the portal.

    Paylocity is generally better than all these other systems

    Chose Paylocity
    It is that perfect sweet spot; it is robust to what we need without being so massive that we find ourselves taking more time to configure new workflows than we spent doing the work.
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    From what I have used, Paycom is the one closest but I still prefer Paylocity because is way more user-friendly with Payroll processing, timesheets, accruals, and reporting. Paycom is cumbersome, the customer service is just okay and the platform is "rigid", employees don't …
    Incentivized
    Chose Paylocity
    ADP was great to use! The transition from ADP to Paylocity was tough, as communication from customer service wasn't the best. But once we learned how to navigate Paylocity more, we found great use in it! Getting information can still be a challenge, as we are commonly told that …

    Chose Paylocity
    ADP and TriNet (PEO). ADP is a very powerful product, but can also be clunky, glitchy and too robust for certain companies that aren't ready for and/or don't need all that they provide (and charge for). TriNet was a hassle because too much had to be run through their people, …

    TriNet
    Chose TriNet
    Their service is way better than ADP. I was not impressed with the ADP PEO response times and provided support. I would recommend TriNet over them any day if you are looking for a reliable PEO. Oracle is outdated, when I was recently using it within a company, very clunky. Payl…

    Chose TriNet
    TriNet - its the best - combines the ease of use of Paychex/Paylocity, the intuit feel of Workday, and offers amazing benefits options!
    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
    Workday was the easiest platform I ever used. It was intuitive where to go and what to do. Trinet is overall a good platform, but it's difficult to use some of the features. Performance link is terrible in my experience
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    its not the same model. If you want to put TriNet's HRIS up against an actual HRIS you will lose every time.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    I wasn't involved in the selection of TriNet, but one thing I do like about TriNet over the other HRIS I have used is that it is a PEO.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    Like I stated already, it is not as sophisticated as other software systems.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    We felt a better rapport with the TriNet people and the portal and ease of use seem superior. Pricing was good too!
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    For payroll and time management they are at least equal to above companies. As to ease better than paychex and ADP. As a benefit administrator, they are better than all of the above.
    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 …
