Workwize vs ZenAdmin: Device Logistics From 150 Users, or an IT Platform With MDM

Anyone weighing Workwize vs ZenAdmin finds two vendors that are hard to put side by side. Workwize's seat price appears on a few of its own comparison pages. ZenAdmin shows no price anywhere, and its pricing URL returns a 404 page. The review records need care too. Fourteen of Workwize's 23 G2 reviews arrived in two weeks of September 2026, every one tagged as a seller invite. ZenAdmin has 9 G2 reviews, and none has been added since March 2025.

The short answer: Workwize fits a company of 150 or more that wants HR events to drive device orders. ZenAdmin fits a smaller team that wants one vendor for devices, MDM, identity and IT support. This guide compares price, ease of use, support, integrations, scope and coverage, then shows a third option for teams that keep their own tools.

Both G2 figures were read in September 2026. This guide uses no Trustpilot or Capterra score: Workwize's Trustpilot page holds only 5 reviews, its Capterra reviews are all vendor-invited, and ZenAdmin has no reviews on either.

Who Is Workwize Best For?

Workwize lists 14 warehouse hubs as of October 2026, from Costa Rica and Brazil to the Philippines and the UAE, and it has raised $15.4M across three rounds. It is an Amsterdam company with a New York office, about 172 people on LinkedIn, and a pricing page built around three seat-based plans. Its FAQ says the product was built for companies of 150 people and up, and Basic will not sign a smaller team. Past that gate, it serves three buyers well:

• HR-led ordering: a hire added in HiBob, BambooHR, Workday, Personio or Rippling can start a device order on its own, with no ticket in between.
• Buyers who want services inside one seat fee: pickups, storage and repairs are included by tier rather than priced one by one.
• Teams near a hub: stock you have already bought and parked in a Workwize warehouse ships faster than an order sourced on the day.

Some customers run their whole device cycle on it. A Capterra reviewer, invited by Workwize, uses it for ordering, delivery, offboarding and asset records, and sums it up: "Its a full suit!" (vendor-invited Capterra review).

For Whom Is ZenAdmin Useful?

ZenAdmin is the smaller of the two: about 38 people on LinkedIn and $3.2M raised, against Workwize's 172 and $15.4M. It is based in Singapore, was founded in 2022 as Hybr1d and took the ZenAdmin name in 2024. Devices are one part of what it sells. The rest is software: MDM, identity and access management, SaaS management, an IT helpdesk and an employee directory. Its reviews support three uses:

• Lean teams that want one vendor for IT tools and devices: a G2 reviewer writes, "We used to juggle hardware needs with three different vendors spread across the globe" (February 2025 G2 review).
• Companies based in Asia: its offices are in Singapore, Bengaluru and Hong Kong, as well as Berlin and two US addresses.
• Small teams preparing for ISO 27001: one G2 reviewer describes ZenAdmin's help with certification as part of the service (March 2025 G2 review).

Read the evidence strength before relying on any of it. Nine G2 reviews, the newest from March 2025, are too few to show a pattern, and Capterra shows none. The one public complaint about price comes from a mid-market CEO: "pricing of laptops can be better and integration with slack" (February 2025 G2 review). A team that evaluated ZenAdmin told us it gave up before the contract was finalised, because replies were too slow.

Tequipy: An Alternative

Tequipy grew out of Revolut's IT team: its co-founder ran IT there through the climb from 100 staff to 5,000 in 17 offices. Against these two vendors, four things differ:

• It keeps your tools: Tequipy is not an MDM. Devices enrol into the Jamf, Intune or JumpCloud setup you already run, so nothing else changes.
• Retail price, delivered: you pay the local list price from the manufacturer's own store, and ABM or Autopilot enrolment costs nothing.
• Local sourcing: 600+ authorised resellers deliver inside 180+ countries, so global laptop procurement never crosses a customs border.
• Prices you can read before a call: every standard service rate is on the pricing page.

Tequipy figures are taken from our published pricing; each Workwize and ZenAdmin cell is sourced further down.

Price

One vendor shows a seat price on its own pages; the other shows none, so the question is what you can know before a sales call.

Workwize Price

• Seats plus a platform fee: Workwize's own comparison pages list Professional at $11 a seat plus the $540 platform fee that Basic also carries. The pricing page itself says "Request Pricing".
• Plans differ by region count: Basic lets you ship to three regions, Professional to five, Enterprise to all of them. A team hiring in four of those regions needs Professional or above.
• Services sit inside the plan: you pay for pickups, storage and repairs in quiet months too. A mid-market reviewer, invited by Workwize, names "the monthly fee that I still have to pay even when I’m not using it" (September 2026 G2 review).
• Hardware is quoted: no catalogue prices are public, and one user reported a 30% markup on devices on Reddit.

ZenAdmin Price

• No price list: there is no pricing page, and every product page leads to "Book a demo".
• Two statements that do not match: its comparison page against Deel IT says "No platform fees ever" and that you pay only for what you use, a model Tequipy also offers. G2 lists a Pro plan from $5.00 every six months, an October 2024 entry with no unit.
• Hardware claimed at market rate: ZenAdmin says it adds no markup. The CEO quoted above still found laptop prices high.

Verdict on Price

Workwize wins on what you can know in advance, because its seat price is on record. ZenAdmin may cost less, but you cannot check it without a demo, and its own pages give two answers. Get both quotes in writing for the same headcount.

Ease of Use

Ease of use here means how long it takes to ship the first device, and how much manual work stays after that.

Workwize Ease of Use

• Setup takes time: G2's own summary puts Workwize's average time to implement at 2 months, while Workwize's pricing FAQ says most teams are running within a few weeks.
• Expect early fixes outside Europe: a US executive describes "growing pains of entering a new market", where "Euros vs. Dollars and Date formats and addresses weren't configured for Americans" (vendor-invited Capterra review).
• Easier to use than it is deep: Software Advice, which mirrors the vendor-invited Capterra set, scores Workwize 4.4 out of 5 for ease of use and 3.8 for functionality.

ZenAdmin Ease of Use

• A quick start, by its reviewers' account: a consulting reviewer writes, "Overall: ZenAdmin is great, and platform is super easy to setup" (February 2025 review on G2).
• Some steps stay manual: another reviewer says "The setup takes a little time and manual steps to do, which I think could be automated more in the future" (small-business review on G2).
• A trial covers the software only: a 30-day trial opens the ZenHR, ZenIT and ZenTools modules. Hardware and device services are still quoted.

Verdict on Ease of Use

ZenAdmin is faster to try, because a 30-day software trial opens after a sign-up form. Workwize takes longer to set up, and pays that back with more automation later. Both sets of reviews are small or invited, so ask each for a reference customer your size.

Customer Support

Support decides how a late laptop gets found. With these two vendors, it also means two different things.

Workwize Support

• The people get credit: reviewers praise their reps, even in critical reviews.
• Fast chat, slow answers: an enterprise reviewer, invited by Workwize, writes that "the chat support function can be quick with an initial response, getting actual support is long winded and inconsistent" (September 2026 G2 review).
• Billing support matters too: a buyer who used Workwize told us its orders were not linked to invoices, and unpaid invoices built up because invoices were not sent properly.

ZenAdmin Support

• The helpdesk is a product: ZenAdmin sells 24/7 first- and second-line IT support for your employees, with a 15-minute first-response target. That covers login and laptop problems, not ZenAdmin's own orders.
• Account support is praised, with one caveat: a managing director who calls ZenAdmin an "invaluable sparring partner" in an otherwise glowing review mentions "a few isolated instances" where the team worried about "the lack of status updates during problem analyses" (March 2025 G2 review).
• Sales calls tell a slower story: a team that runs on ZenAdmin described the process to us as slow, with delivery dates that were not kept up to date.

Verdict on Support

ZenAdmin wins if you want someone to answer your employees' IT questions, because Workwize does not sell that. For the device orders themselves, neither record is clean. Ask both who you message when a laptop misses a start date, and how fast they reply.

Integrations

The question here: does your HR system place the order, and does the laptop arrive enrolled in your MDM?

Workwize Integrations

• The longer list: Workwize claims 100+ HRIS integrations (G2 says 82+), including HiBob, BambooHR, Workday, Personio, Rippling, Gusto and ADP, plus Okta, Entra ID, Jamf and Intune.
• The deepest options cost more: SCIM and the public API come with the Enterprise plan only.
• Automation has limits: a reviewer, invited by Workwize, notes "limited auto-onboarding features and an API that could be more expanded" (vendor-invited Capterra review).

ZenAdmin Integrations

• The main HR systems: BambooHR, Rippling, Workday, HiBob and Personio, where a new hire triggers a device request and an approval.
• MDM, two ways: ZenAdmin lists Jamf, Intune, JumpCloud, Hexnode and Miradore as integrations, and since September 2026 also calls its own MDM "native". At least one G2 customer runs Hexnode next to it.
• The workflow gets praise: a reviewer writes, "Their auto-on and offboarding workflow feature is particularly impressive" (the same February 2025 G2 review).

Verdict on Integrations

Workwize wins on breadth. ZenAdmin covers the five HR systems most small teams use. Tequipy syncs HiBob, BambooHR and Workday natively for $199 a month and offers a REST API for the rest. Enrolment happens through Apple Business Manager or Windows Autopilot ahead of shipping, which lets zero-touch deployment run on whichever MDM you keep.

Devices Only, or the Whole IT Stack

This is where the two differ most. Workwize sells the movement of devices and a register to track them. ZenAdmin sells devices as one module of a wider IT platform.

Workwize Scope

• Logistics and an asset register: ordering, deployment, warehousing, retrieval, wiping, refurbishment and resale, with HRIS automation on top.
• The register is thin for some: a reviewer says "The use as a device asset register is lacking key features like device history" (vendor-invited Capterra review).
• New in 2026, not yet tested by users: an MCP server for AI tools in June, and a Workflow Builder driven by an AI agent in September, in early access.

ZenAdmin Scope

• Two product lines: ZenIT (inventory, SaaS management, identity and access, MDM, helpdesk, procurement) and ZenCore (employee directory, workflows, reports, permissions).
• Add-ons beyond IT: global payroll, HR concierge and employer of record services.
• Its own case against device-only vendors: a September 2026 ZenAdmin page about Tequipy alternatives argues that a buyer would otherwise run Tequipy "plus a separate MDM and identity stack".

Verdict on Scope

ZenAdmin covers more ground. That helps only if you plan to replace the tools it duplicates. If your MDM, identity provider and helpdesk stay, most of its extra modules add cost and change, and Workwize's narrower focus fits better.

Pro tip: price only the modules you will use, in writing. Write down every IT tool you run today and mark each one keep or replace. Send that list to both vendors with your headcount and your three hardest countries.

Ask Workwize which plan covers your regions and what the seat price is at your size. Ask ZenAdmin for the monthly cost of only the modules you marked replace, and whether the platform stays free once MDM or the helpdesk is added. A vendor that will not price a part of its platform on its own has told you something.

Coverage, Delivery and Returns

Both vendors publish several country counts (see the table above), so ask which services run in which countries.

Workwize Coverage

• Stock decides the speed: the FAQ promises dispatch in 1 to 7 working days for in-stock equipment, which usually means laptops you bought earlier and parked in a hub.
• Returns reach fewer places: the Capterra reviewer quoted under integrations adds "Limited geos for offboarding", and the About page gives a 30-day average global retrieval cycle.

ZenAdmin Coverage

• Delivery claims vary too: 5 working days on average on the procurement page, and "under 48 hours" in one CEO post.
• Asia is its home region, and still uneven: a team using ZenAdmin across Asia Pacific told us about repeated problems with device recoveries, one device lost during deployment, and no storage in Indonesia.
• Its comparison page names Workwize directly: ZenAdmin claims buyers save $500+ per laptop against Workwize, with no prepayment. That is one vendor's claim about a rival.

Verdict on Coverage

Returns are where both promises get tested. In Capterra's 2022 offboarding survey of 287 HR workers, 71% had at least one departing employee who did not give equipment back. Ask both vendors for their last completed pickup in your hardest country, or compare a laptop retrieval service that also collects devices bought elsewhere.

How to Choose a Device Lifecycle Platform

Three checks settle this choice faster than a feature grid.

List the IT Tools You Plan to Keep

An all-in-one platform saves money only when it replaces tools you would otherwise pay for. If you keep Jamf or Intune, your identity provider and your helpdesk, you need a vendor that moves devices and fits around them. Tequipy is built that way: the device lifecycle management software tracks every laptop and is free for up to 100 devices.

Get a Written Price for One Laptop in One Country

Pick one laptop model and one country where you hire. Ask each vendor for the delivered price, in writing, before the demo. Tequipy shows that price in the platform for each country, delivery included, so you can compare it with the local manufacturer's store yourself.

Hold the Coverage Claim Against Your Payroll

Take the list of countries where your people sit. For each, ask whether the vendor can deliver, collect and store there, not only deliver. Tequipy's answer is the same process in 180+ countries, through a reseller inside each one.

Alternative to Both: Tequipy

The method comes from Revolut's IT team: buy in the employee's country, enrol the device before it ships, and get it back when someone leaves.

Key Features

Three jobs make up the service. None of them asks you to change the MDM or HR system you run today.

Local Sourcing in the Employee's Country

A reseller in the same country as the employee fills each order, chosen from 600+ authorised partners across 180+ countries. Nothing crosses a border, so there is no customs hold and no import duty to pay. Laptops arrive in three business days on average, and any order that runs past ten business days gets a discount.

Enrolment Into the MDM You Keep

Macs go into your Apple Business Manager account and Windows laptops into Autopilot while they are still with the reseller, and that step is free. On first boot the device joins your MDM by itself. Tequipy only asks for your ABM organisation ID and never needs a login to the MDM.

Retrieval, Storage, Redeployment and Sellback

For a leaver, Tequipy writes to the person, posts packaging where the original box is gone, books the courier, wipes the laptop and keeps it at $12 a month. The next hire can receive it for $70 to $150, or Tequipy buys it back for cash. All of this applies to laptops bought from any supplier.

Tequipy Pricing

For 250 people, our estimate puts Workwize's yearly seat and platform fees at $30,480 against Tequipy's $1,188 platform fee, $29,292 apart. Basic is $8 a seat plus a $540 platform fee (October 2026); read as monthly, each hire adds $96 a year. Hiring leaves Tequipy's fee alone: free for up to 100 devices, and $99 a month at any fleet size past that. A year of offboardings, servicing, redeployments and storage brings Tequipy to $8,388. ZenAdmin publishes no price to set beside these. HRIS sync is $199 a month extra. Put in your own team size and see for yourself.

Where Tequipy Shines

• No markup on hardware: you pay the retail price. Tequipy's margin comes mostly from buying hardware in volume, through 600+ authorised resellers, below that price, and second from services.
• Every standard rate in public: offboarding, storage, redeployment and the platform fee are on the pricing page, so finance can total a year without a call.
• Proof of what happened to each laptop: an ISO 27001 certificate, a chain-of-custody record, and a Blancco wipe certificate or a certificate of destruction when you ask.

Where Tequipy Falls Short

• No MDM, identity or helpdesk tools of its own: each laptop is enrolled into the MDM you already run, through Apple Business Manager or Windows Autopilot.
• SOC 2 is still under audit: the report is not ready yet, so ask on a demo call where it stands. ISO 27001 is certified and penetration test reports are available.
• No leasing: hardware is sold outright at retail, and Tequipy offers no lease or finance plan in any country.

Tequipy Customer Reviews

Tequipy holds 4.9 out of 5 from four G2 reviews (October 2026), too few to call a pattern. A financial-services reviewer, invited by G2, values having buying, provisioning, repairs, offboarding and storage "in a single platform, instead of forcing IT teams to coordinate across multiple vendors" (July 2026 G2 review). A mid-market reviewer adds, "It looks the best out of other ITAM provider platforms that I've seen" (August 2026 G2 review).

TapTap Send moved three separate purchasing processes onto Tequipy and now saves 40+ hours a month. Its IT director says the platform makes sourcing, configuring and shipping devices "incredibly simple and efficient" (TapTap Send case study).

Who Tequipy Is Best For

• Globally distributed teams: a handful of countries or dozens, with one rate card and one process in each.
• Teams buying from a different supplier in every country: a line we hear often runs, "We use Amazon for UAE, a local reseller in India, and a different one in the UK".
• Small IT teams with no cover: one IT lead told us, "if I'm on holiday, we can't hire". Tequipy contacts leavers and couriers so that work does not wait for one person.
• Companies opening their first country abroad: with no local entity, supplier or office there, the usual way of buying a laptop stops working.

Which Fits a 60-Person Team, Workwize or ZenAdmin?

ZenAdmin, of the two. Workwize's Basic plan needs at least 150 users, and its FAQ says it was designed for companies of 150 and up. ZenAdmin's Workwize comparison page states no minimum user count, a term Tequipy shares. Ask ZenAdmin in writing whether any seat minimum applies at your size. Its G2 reviewers are small and mid-market companies, though its newest marketing aims at teams of 100 or more.

Can You Keep Your Own MDM With Workwize or ZenAdmin?

Yes, with both. Workwize integrates with Jamf, Intune, JumpCloud and others and enrols devices through Apple Business Manager or Windows Autopilot. ZenAdmin lists Jamf, Intune, JumpCloud, Hexnode and Miradore as integrations, though since September 2026 it also promotes its own built-in MDM. Ask whether keeping yours changes the price.

Does Either Vendor Store Returned Laptops for Free?

ZenAdmin says so. Its comparison page against Deel IT promises unlimited free device storage, with shipping at actual cost. Workwize lists storage among the services included by plan and publishes no per-device rate. Neither publishes a storage rate you can check, so ask for it in the contract.

Do Workwize and ZenAdmin Lease Laptops?

Yes, both offer it. Workwize says it can supply hardware to buy or to rent, with terms not published. ZenAdmin leases through LivLyt, a company it acquired, on terms from 12 to 36 months, and every lease needs approval from its leasing partners. Its own example sets $89 a month against $2,499 to buy.

How Quickly Can Each Vendor Start Shipping?

It varies. G2 reviewers put Workwize's average time to implement at 2 months. ZenAdmin offers a 30-day software trial, but devices start after a demo and a quote. Tequipy sets up an account within 24 hours with no contract, so a first order can ship the same week.
