    Considered Both Products
    TriNet
    Chose TriNet
    Very bottom of the list - I did not select TriNet, as I joined the company after it had already been implemented and in use for some time. If I had been involved, Rippling and/or Zenefits would have been my top choices due to their wide breadth of HR/Payroll/People support …

    Chose TriNet
    Cheaper and far more comprehensive than Zenefits. We switched two years ago and haven't looked back.

    Chose TriNet
    TriNet had a more comprehensive approach and their online platform was very intuitive!

    Chose TriNet
    Trinet's full service offering outweighs competitors exponentially.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    TriNet is a much stronger product with very good customer service. Ability to rely on information and payroll is essential to success. There are a lot of features in TriNet we are not utilizing but could choose from to support our business. These other products do not have …
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    We didn't look anywhere else, as we used TriNet at a previous company. Since forming our new company, we have been approached by Insperity and Zenefits. However, until we have reason to believe TriNet is not competitive or become unhappy with the level of service, we will not …
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    We were interested to look at alternatives and ensure we were getting the best deal for our staff and the company. Only one came close to the cost of the benefits and we were loath to switch the employee experience without a solid reason. As we grow our system needs and the …

    I didn't select TriNet, but it allows for HR to push specific benefits questions to TriNet

    Chose TriNet
    We have used Zenefits and Gusto in the past. They were ok but didn't have the complete suite of features that we were looking for. The only advantage Gusto has over TriNet is that contractor payments and 1099 generation is built in and handled by their service on regular …

    Trinet was the best choice for our needs.

    Chose TriNet
    TriNet offers benefits and HR support. We did not have this before. We need that live voice to help us.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    We were already using TriNet and there would have been a switching cost (i.e., my time) that we didn't have the bandwidth for at the time. Zenefits still required internal HR (i.e., me) to do too much. The most important benefit from using TriNet for us is that TriNet does …
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    I've only used Zenefits in the past and Trinet is far better. I came to this company when Trinet was already implemented. I had not heard of Trinet prior to arriving here. I heard both positive and negative reviews of Trinet from others and my experience fits right into what I …

    Chose TriNet
    I used a boutique firm in the past and it was a catastrophe. I'm super happy to be with TriNet and recommend them to lots of companies.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    We started with TriNet before the other services were offered. We considered swapping to Zenefits, however there were many reports of payroll errors and benefits administration errors on their platform, and they ran into substantial compliance issues which made them …
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    TriNet provided many more tools for HR and payroll than other competitors. TriNet's system is much easier to use. TriNet's pricing is also competitive compared to others.

    Chose TriNet
    Trinet is more comprehensive.
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    Since that last time our organization evaluated the market, Trinet appeared to be more comprehensive in their product and services offering than other competitors, including Namely and Zenefits. However, Namely in particular has a better interface for "Time Off" management and …
    Incentivized
    Chose TriNet
    Looked at ADP PEO back in 2013 but benefit quotes were much higher than Trinet - primarily because ADP acted more as a broker rather than a PEO, i.e we weren't pooled with the many other employees under ADP, rather we were given the "street" rate that any small business would …

    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 …
