    Rippling is simple. It is quicker. It is easy to learn. There are a lot of ways to use rippling for other uses that other products like ADP Streamline Payroll don't have. The access and tools that are offered by Rippling far outweigh other products that I have used at other …

    This was the previous program my company used before switching to Rippling. Rippling is a massive improvement. I didn't personally select Rippling, but I'm glad my employer did because it's made things so much easier. Not just for features, but the UI is great. Previous …

    My time with this was short, but I rarely used the employee portal here because it was poorly designed and hard to access. Rippling has really created a seamless experience for employees to access what they need about themselves and the company. The management tools are also …

    Rippling has way more aesthetically pleasing and an easier-to-navigate user interface. ADP resembles 80's architecture and Rippling is minimalist, yet vibrant in all the best ways! Definitely a Payroll software for the new generation.

    When I first started my new job, it was an additional one on top of a day job I already had. I didn't have time to waste between getting home and starting this new night job, so the first thing that I found was that I was blown away at how quickly and easily I could log in and start. When starting a new job, I didn't need the added stress of learning another app/portal when I had more important things to learn. I am really grateful for those 2 factors alone. Once I got more familiar with the portal, I was able to search around a bit and found some great features that have just enriched the experience even more...no training needed.

    Pros
    ADP
    • They actually make the payments to the tax agencies for you, you don't have to manually do that yourself.
    • It does all the calculations of how much to withhold and pay for taxes for everyone.
    • It has certain reports and saves the employee tax information for everyone within the platform.

    • Keeping track of and entering time off and watching time of approvals
    • Providing fast links to access accounts for health/retirement benefits
    • Extremely convenient access to see how much money is left in my flexible savings account and reordering a new card if I need one

    Cons
    ADP
    • Happens rarely, but sometimes Customer Service has to look up an answer. I would prefer they simply upgrade my call to someone who knows the answer.
    • If you are going through a huge company change, let them know ahead of time so you can get a timeline of when changes should and can be done. Implementation of a new company takes considerable time.
    • Offer more LIVE webinars to get more interaction. Listening to webinars, not so exciting and you can't ask questions while you are listening.

    • The overall look and feel of Rippling is dated; it looks like it's straight out of the 00's.
    • The could be more functionality in the LMS, expanded features, more options, it works, and it's basic, but it could be really great with a few added features.
    • The shift from using people's personal email to log in to their work email, not everyone wants to use their personal information to log into a work system.

    I've been fully impressed with the tool so far in my 6 months of being a daily user. It's rare to run into an issue that can't be solved. Customer service is quick to respond and are usually very helpful. The price is great for the upgrade we got from our past tool. We hit our ROI within the first month.

    Rippling's performance has been great, no errors or glitches yet so far. I am confident that Going from one page to the next and all its complexity usage does not lag or times out, it works effectively and efficiently. While using Rippling and other apps it does not tend to slow it down, works great. No complaints.

    I give this a 9 rating because the customer support is great. I have had issues that needed to be solved very quickly and they are always so eager to help. They can give you a solution to your problem and if they try everything and still can't, they will connect you with someone that can or will.

    I have contacted support one time, and I was assisted by the Artificial Intelligence bot. Not only did it help with my inquiry, but it also went the extra mile by suggesting other options. I was looking for a feature I could not find, and it was very helpful. It would be nice also to chat with an actual person.

    It's really easy to implement in comparison to other tools or applications. Different key points are easily configured and implemented as per need, having different configurations in systems. Implementation is something which binds the different parameters of an organization in a single row. Implementation of rippling is much easier, quicker, and error free than any other software. I recommend it strongly!

    ADP Streamline Payroll has a great stack for employers looking to provide all of the basic payroll benefits to employees. I think ADP excels with its UX/UI, which is typically a problem for this industry. It's fairly easy to set up and use, compared to other systems. Try it out!

    Rippling has a much more modern, user-friendly approach, and it continues to build out their product suite to help create a seamlessly integrated eco-system. BambooHR is also more modern, but doesn't seem to have the broad product suite that Rippling is pursuing. UKG felt so disconnected and archaic to work with... quite painful, actually. I really like that Rippling has been extremely supportive with the onboarding process, ensuring that you work with various members of their implementation team to get things up and running which leads to a better experience and quicker ROI.

    Return on Investment
    ADP
    • ADP Streamline was just a function to us so I can't really say it had a positive or negative effect on our business objectives. We went with Streamline because we already were with ADP. We didn't really shop.
    • Because of the great rep we had we were able to get a more positive response from our German staff to their pay. Before I came on board there were a lot of payroll errors which had an effect on staff morale. With help from the rep we were able to improve our accuracy and pay people correctly.
