My company had considered to switching to Zenefits, but decided to stick with the local middleman we've already got. The difference, according to HR, was that he knew for certain that a phone call to the current rep would fix almost any weird issue--with Zenefits, despite the convenience of doing things online, he couldn't be sure that was the case.

No to mention their platform is still far off from what i'd call user friendly. I have to download excel sheets, edit them and upload? Really??

depends on the user as to what's friendly...?

not used zenefits, but I've got several apps where I end up doing just that, because the target audience is so used to excel, that anything short of excel is a really bad experience for them. as I can't embed excel directly in, down/uploading excel files is the next best thing (for now).
