Thoughts on Zillow Application Screening

So I had been using Transunion for tenant screening.  I also have used Cozy.  I'm considering using Zillows portable application, which makes a lot of sense for me, and for the tenants.  I'm worried that it might be leaving out things, ie criminal and evictions (it's based off of checkr, if that means anything).

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?  Or on any of the other tenant screening services out there, of which it seems there are now hundreds?   Or any of the spokeo/people search etc. type sites?

My only issue with Zillow is that its harder to collect tenants social security after the application. Some prospect tenants asking me why I need their social if they already did submit an application through zillow. I would like to have social and copy of licence just in case, that is how I do it and it is raising red flags for some people.
