I disagree with your conclusion there. Having your clients violate the ADP TOS (and then subsequently violating it yourself while scraping data) is clearly not a smart move as illustrated by ADP's response.
- shaaaaawn 11y agoAgreed. Zenefits took an engineering/business shortcut by scraping and using the default 3rd party user credentials. It was only a matter of time before this got shut off. They'll do what every other large 3rd party does, sign an MSA of some sort, build a better integration, and pay a massive annual fee to ADP for access. This is Financial Services
- mbesto 11y agoFrom a business ethics and security sense, I'm on ADP's side here. However, this type of press (or awareness) from ADP customers' is what makes this move smart: https://twitter.com/AaronKlein/status/607051950928953344 https://twitter.com/AaronKlein/status/607051950928953344 Imagine Zenefits was simply a broker and your broker said to you "ADP just shut off my access to them so I can't use their service, how about we use XYZ instead?". As long as I trust my broker is providing value then it doesn't matter what payroll service I use. So, if Zenefits is confident people value their service above the service a payroll service provides, then they will most likely win in this case.
