	BambooHR®	TriNet HR Plus
Considered Both Products	BambooHR Verified User Chose BambooHR® BambooHR is much better. I often found TriNet had limited info and tools.

Verified User Chose TriNet HR Plus Zenefits is easy to use and scales incredibly well. ADP was garbage [from] day one. We got our money back. Too bleak and hard to understand. We never bought TriNet, but it felt like it would be hard to make it scale. [It was] a little bland, and Google Sheets seemed like a … Incentivized Helpful?
