### "I really love Zenefits!"

May 17, 2018

5.0

Pros

My other job used Zenefits for the payroll, time tracker and other stuff. I love love love their service. They even have like a debit card that we can use to maintain our transportation deduction. I totally recommend any office to use Zenefits

Cons

Nothing in particular. I am actually super satisfied with Zenefits. No complaint from me. Again, this is one great product!

### "Great product, not so great customer service"

March 15, 2018

3.0

Pros

\-Clean and very user-friendly interface. -Easy to navigate the site. -BI Reports were very easy to run. -Used to be free before they started charging a monthly rate...the price was right!

Cons

\-My boss and I had many issues with customer service while we had Zenefits. We were given inaccurate information on multiple occasions, which further complicated issues and caused great stress to us and our employees. The reason we left Zenefits was because of their poor customer service. Otherwise, they have a great product.

### "Makes HR easier on a one HR Manager company"

January 17, 2019

4.0

Customer support has greatly improved in the last two years as it seems they have found their niche in being an HR platform and not a benefits engine. They have a great culture and it shows in their product, which is inspiring

Pros

Interface is simple to navigate and find what you are looking for.

Cons

Reporting features could be improved- it is something I see Zenefits working on, but I still end up having to massage the reports in excel to get what I need.

### "Zenefits - Saving me so much time"

August 20, 2018

5.0

I own an LLC as an SCorp and have no office admin, I cannot understate how much time Zillow saves me with payroll and all of the required tax filings throughout the year to keep me tax compliant.

Pros

I like how easy it is to get setup with payroll for each employee. Also how easy it is to do pay runs and one off payments like distributions. I haven't even scratched the surface with what it offers as I handle my 401k and health/medical benefits elsewhere. It boggles my mind how satisfied I am with Zenefits but haven't even used all of its features.

Cons

I seriously cannot think of a single thing I dislike about this software. If you have payroll in a small business I think the price would be worth it no matter what.

### "Zenefits -- the simple, functional HRIS"

September 5, 2017

4.0

Pros

We utilized this solution at a Series B funded startup at the time and the major influence for selecting Zenefits was due to price point and customization. You are able to keep clean employee files, documents, and have new hires e-sign their paperwork.

Cons

Sometimes the system was very clunky, we were not able to do certain things and some users would have different views, although the same permissions. Support was very poor here. Although we used this system during 2015 when there was a lot of internal turmoil at Zenefits. Overall we made it work!

### "Mediocre solution with sub-par support"

December 19, 2019

2.0

Waste of time and money.

Pros

It's a SaaS solution, with the basic option to process payroll

Cons

Anything that is not a basic payroll is hard to do, requires assistance from support or takes weeks. The support is not good. It is hard to reach and even trivial issues take multiple touches to solve.

July 29, 2019

3.0

Hiring data management and HR platform

### "Great Product, move out of the way other company"

December 18, 2018

5.0

LOVE ZENEFITS!

Pros

The program keeps evolving into a better and better product. They have already blasted past all expectations. There is no one in the range of Zenefits that for the price can add the start up tech. The on boarding and work flow and data space is amazing.

Cons

Since they are always trying and adding new items, they are not perfect but never put us at a hardship just need a tweaking.

### "Run far, far away!"

April 25, 2016

1.5

Pros

The UI of the product is the best I have seen. It's user friendly in that regard and easy to navigate for employees. As a vendor, my Account Manager and her supervisor seem intelligent, efficient and doing the best they can with an inferior product.

Cons

They have not gotten a correct health benefits payroll deduction since November - it's April. They send you to multiple payroll specialists who you have to re-educate on the problem. I have encountered the same issue with double-deductions being pushed from Zenefits every single month. I am typically left double-checking that the second payroll of the month has been corrected; 50% of the time it has not. No one knows why our benefits deductions keep screwing up. Every time they think they fix the issue it goes wrong again. Ultimately we had to switch mid-year to a new vendor because they couldn't get anything right. This is only one of the multiple issues I have had on the benefits end of things. There isn't enough time in my day to explain to you how challenging they made open enrollment and health deductions.

### "Been using them since Beta. There Awesome!"

February 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

Love the Quickbook interrogation. The on boarding of new employee is stemless and easy for both the employee and employer. Been really happy with their product since Beta :)

Cons

In the begin almost everything was free and when they move to a non free version, I thought that they are more in the expensive side.

### "Zenefits eliminates the awkward PTO request to your boss!"

October 22, 2018

5.0

Great way to document and request PTO and other benefits related information.

Pros

Simple log in to website. PTO request or other request are very straight forward. You can also see all supported holidays already listed.

Cons

No documentation as to when submitted. I submitted a PTO request back in August and it was approved months later, but I had no proof when I sent it.

### "Simple and easy"

April 2, 2020

5.0

My overall experience has been good, with the exception of the first week issue.

Pros

There is a lot of information that I can access in my page. I can see the team that works with me and it gives me a great overall picture of the company.

Cons

When I enter my hours, another box open in the same day, automatically. This caused that in my first week I entered all the hours of the week in the same day. Lack of attention in my part. However, if instead of the box opening automatically, I had to open it manually, this confusion might not happen. Also the overnight selection, I don't particularly like.

### "User-friendly platform"

October 22, 2018

5.0

Overall, it has been a good tool. Outside of some customer service issues, I have not had any complaints.

Pros

This software is visually appealing and very user-friendly. It has many features all in one place.

Cons

The customer service is not as good as I've experienced with other platforms. You can chat in or call them directly, but the hold times are often very long and the quality of service is hit or miss.

### "HR simplified"

October 1, 2018

5.0

I've had a great experience with it, I can clock in and out as needed - if I make a mistake and forget to clock out etc. I can easily get that resolved.

Pros

Really enjoy the fact that I can easily report on hours worked and export to excel. It also helps manage contracts, NDAs, benefits, etc.

Cons

My initial onboarding documents needed updating and this process was rather difficult.

### "Leaves a lot to be desired"

March 1, 2019

1.0

When having issues with the emails I contacted customer support several times to no avail. Once of the times I was told my email issue would resolve if I cleared the cookies and cache in my browser. I'm not really sure this guy knew what he was talking about or was on autopilot. Afterward I was told if that didn't work I would have to call their IT people. My sales person has pretty much abandoned me with the issues I've had since our employees not having email was a point I clearly made on several occasions. He no longer responds. Totally unhappy with their services.

Pros

Once everything is actually set up, it's very attractive. It keeps everything organized exactly how I'd like it to be done.

Cons

Extremely difficult to set up. Employees are required to have UNIQUE addresses. Some of our employees do not have phones or computers at home, let alone a personal email address. I had to create a catch all email and number "fake" emails to just set up EXISTING employees.

### "Zenefits has a streamlined approach to HCM, making it easy to use and effective. "

April 25, 2018

4.0

It is easy to use, streamlined and very forward-focused. They are changing the game in the HCM space.

Pros

Zenefits allows you to manage time, payroll benefits, compliance, HR and apps all in one easy to use software. Customer service is helpful and available when needed, which is a huge bonus!

Cons

Pricing can be a bit expensive depending on the number of employees you have. The standard package is very basic, and then there are add-on apps which cost more. Could be a better value.

### "Awful Customer Service, Okay Payroll"

April 25, 2019

3.0

Zenefits has a long way to go before they are a good payroll company.

Pros

It is an easy website/app to navigate, payroll is user-friendly, and it keeps all the information in one central site.

Cons

Customer Service is the absolute worst. It is ridiculous whenever you need to resolve an issue, it takes forever and the persons helping are never that insightful.

### "Zenefits Rocks!"

May 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

Zenefits allows me to access my pay stubs, submit time off requests, change my tax settings, view my commuter benefits as well as sign company documents. I can also see company hierarchy and some basic information about members on my team. Zenefits makes dealing with HR related inquires much easier.

Cons

Zenefits does not show pay stub information before the actual payday. I am used to paycheck software that notifies you a few days in advance of payday of your pay stub being ready to view.

### "Simplified HR"

April 10, 2018

4.0

Pros

Zenefits has helped our business tremendously by consolidating 4-5 systems into 1. Now we have a centralize dashboard that my team can log into to check the status of the new hire from offer letter all the way to signing up for benefits..etc. The ability to streamline your internal processes and paperwork are there, but you do have to set it up yourself. Once you do I guarantee it's worth every penny.

Cons

Lot of new features do roll out, but those updates are noted within newsletter but some of them are not even revealed.

### "Awesome Resource for small businesses"

December 7, 2016

5.0

I am a huge fan of Zenefits. As the HR and office manager for a non-profit school, we are growing very quickly and I needed a resource where I could streamline our on-boarding, get rid of hard copies, and manage our staff's employee files and paid time off in one place. I started using Zenefits this past August and have had a wonderful experience with the product and the customer service. Someone is willing to help and getting back to me. I find emailing is the quickest way to get a response, which is my preferred communication as well. Since I have started using Zenefits under the direction of their new CEO, they are continuing to grow and improve their already great platform. The set up time is as to be expected since not every company is the same and each company's needs are different. I am a huge fan and supporter of Zenefits and their customer service. I am excited to grow with this company and their product.

Pros

Onboarding new employees and getting all of their paperwork done takes me a few clicks of a mouse to get all of the information to the employee. I am able to manage and track PTO by just downloading a report, and most importantly, everything is done in one place.

Cons

You have to pay to use their payroll service =)

### "Zenefits is not great"

October 14, 2021

2.0

Out of all the payroll companies that I work with as a bookkeeper, I have to say Zenfits is one of the worst.

Pros

When we first did a demo call, the staff and sales people were awesome. I had met them before at an accounting conference. Then 2 weeks after my client signed up with them, a hedge fund bought them and it all went downhill from there...

Cons

There is no way to pull one report that shows how the payroll ties out to what cleared the bank. Sometimes the difference will be thousands of dollars between what their reports show and what was debited from the bank. After calling tech support multiple times we were told that this happens when there are credits but no report exists that lists or explains the credits. Also, their tech support is awful.

Switched from

[Gusto](https://www.capterra.com/p/131882/Gusto/)

The client decided to switch because they had outgrown Gusto and needed someone to cater to more than 300 employees.
