Verdict
Zenefits stands out by building its platform around the benefits broker relationship, offering strong tools for both companies and the brokers who advise them.
What customers praise
The platform's compliance calendar and automated alerts for tasks like ACA reporting are particularly strong, helping HR teams stay ahead of deadlines.
What customers criticise
While its benefits module is top-tier, its native payroll product is less mature and feature-rich than competitors like Gusto or ADP.
Best for
Small to mid-sized businesses that want to use Zenefits' certified broker services or integrate their own broker.
