Chose Rippling
Rippling has a way better UI and is easier to work with compared to these other products. I hope our company considers implementing the features of Expensify (for reimbursement) and Navan (for travel) into Rippling as I have had issues with both of those products and imagine …
Chose Rippling
I like Navan for traveling more but for everything HR Rippling does the job. Rippling is way more intuitive and simple than concur is, especially in the realm of expense reporting.
Chose Rippling
rippling is very comparable to UltiPro (UKG Pro) but ultimately rippling is far more user friendly and allows for easier access of information that is more in line with logical thinking
Chose Rippling
Rippling has better compatibility with third party tools/products & it delivers faster than the rest mentioned here. Zoho doesn't help in global payroll management & has a cumbersome payroll. greytHR & Darwinbox are not easily configurable & are slow to respond. As per my past …
Chose Rippling
It's an all in one feature with all the platforms (scheduling, HR, onboarding, recruiting, travel expense). This eliminates multiple different platforms and the integration between multiple different platforms. We are able to keep all employee documents, expenses, …
Chose Rippling
Rippling is new, its hip and it knows what's up. It easy to use and all the successful brands are using it. Why would you complicate things? Other products were confusing and just kind of old school.
Chose Rippling
For the most part, Rippling offers a more integrated experience by combining HR, IT, and Finance into one platform, allowing for seamless management of employee lifecycle, which Gusto does not provide. It excels in global payroll capabilities and extensive third-party …

A specific scenario where TripActions was well suited was when I needed to book a hotel stay in Cologne, Germany for multiple colleagues. The fact that they were registered users made coordinating their stays a seamless process. I have not had an occasion where TripActions was inappropriate to use.

I think I have already mentioned them. But here I go again. I like that I can keep track of my team's attendance, days off, schedules, vacation days, PTOs, and one-on-one sessions. I do not waste time, which nowadays is a great deal. I have also mentioned what (I think) are its areas of opportunity. Overall, I am satisfied with Rippling.

Pros
Navan
  • Provides a wide range of travel options within a wide budget.
  • It is reliable - if a trip gets canceled, they are quick to contact their customer and help sort out additional booking details to get you to your final destination.

Rippling
  • 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
Navan
  • Limited partnerships with all the major airlines, or if so, slowly just adding more airlines to their platform
  • Not a lot of information about the ratings of the hotels. I have stayed in hotels that I probably wouldn't have if their information was more up to date

  • Rippling could improve their payment days. Currently they make employee payments around the 15th and 30th of the month, but it varies slightly with every month. It would make more sense to do this payment on every other Friday or every other Monday.

This decision overall isn’t made by me. The company evaluates the product. While I am an influencer the overall review is my personal opinion and mine only. The company books flights or would like for us to book flights through trip actions everything else is suggested but done with a personal cc which makes it optional. My option will be to not use TripActions for anything personally.

The AI assistant has always been able to direct me to the correct solution to any question i have about Rippling. Payroll is so easy, it takes about 10 minutes to go through the process.

Very intuitive, user-friendly, and modern interface that doesn't make you cringe when you have to access it for anything. The admin navigation is easier compared to our previous system, and doesn't feel like a maze of complicated jargon. On the user side, the benefits enrollment process was a breeze, and felt so much more informative and efficient. Accessing the benefits post-enrollment is also very straightforward.

I like that the availability in using Rippling at any given time is useful to me. Getting on the site freely when I need gives me security of knowing that I can be in control of viewing health insurance and hours information. I have yet to get any errors in using the Rippling app.

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.

The highlight of my customer support experience was my first interaction with them: I had a small issue with my birthdate, and it was fixed very quickly—on the same day. It's pretty incredible to have things like that sorted out in the same day, which is a rare thing to see lately.

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!

I like TripActions more because everything is on a mobile app that is super user-friendly. The customer service team is also world class-I genuinely have never felt so taken care of. More so, Concur Travel and Expense never rewarded me for traveling, while I made over 200 dollars in Amazon money just for doing my job.

Rippling far outshines Employment Hero from an LMS perspective; the EH LMS is really bad and has very little functionality, as well as being completely user-unfriendly. The UE is much better with Rippling, no more searching for things that are in obscure places or running reports that need refining to the extreme.

I can go on here and see all my hours and pto plus health benefits. I like to have the work handbook handy to refer to legal things. How to work my role within it's limits. Being able to put in my hours and view when they are approved is a huge benefit for me.

Return on Investment

  • The ability to change flights while I am on the road in meetings. They actually call the agents for me.
  • It has put money back in my pocket with the Amazon rewards and my company has saved money by me booking the less expensive options.

  • Our HR team used to spend almost three days doing payroll calculations before Rippling. This platform has cut that time down by 75%! Now they can devote the time they would've spent on payroll to other important tasks.
  • Rippling saves employees time by making time-tracking less of a headache.
  • Rippling has so many so many services that it's essentially a one-stop-shop for centralized HR solutions!
