TriNet is horrible -- no other words necessary! Against Rippling, Paylocity generally meets some of their functionality and value. Years ago we selected Paylocity because we were leaving ADP and needed more functionality, better customer service, etc. Paylocity was priced …
We evaluated and are in the process of moving to Rippling. This was based on some decision maker's conversations with other organization. Alhtough we asked Paylocity if it is a PEO - the answer was no - most of the functionality of Rippling could have been available at …
We were very close to selecting Proliant or Rippling. Proliant because their customer service was superior to any of the other platforms we looked at. They were so much more personable and ready to work with us. However, we chose Paylocity because Proliant didn't have many …
We selected Paylocity because Rippling lacked a core integration that we required. We left Paycor due to poor IT management, unexplained glitches with no plans to resolve, and a general degradation in the functionality of the site. Paycor grew too fast too quickly, and did not …
Paylocity has been a good fit with a wide offering that has fit our growing organization well. It is well integrated, and we are able to integrate expenses, and our benefits admin system pretty seemlessly as well as it being easy to push candidates from recruiting to onboarding …
Some of these other platforms were less expensive than Paylocity but lacked the integrations we sought. They also did not have the customer support and knowledge base Paylocity does. The demo for Paylocity was far more robust and curtailed our pain points than any other demo …
I am actively vetting other systems. I'm looking for a system with a unified database, position seat management, and more robust reporting. While the all other systems I mentioned don't meet all these requirements, some do. What it has shown, is that Paylocity is lagging behind …
Paylocity does a lot well, and at a price point that is competitive. They have a great team of support staff who are always willing to help issues to resolution.
Rippling is far superior to Paylocity as the latter is tricky to navigate and locate items. I spent too much time attempting to find what should have been easy to find documents and forms necessary for my work and filing taxes. The Rippling interface is much easier to …
I've enjoyed my experience with Rippling significantly more than Paylocity primarily due to its ease of use. Rippling has an app that is more functional and a web platform that is more intuitive than anything I experienced with Paylocity. It was challenging at times to figure …
Rippling seems to have more features overall than Paylocity. They do have similar functionality, but Rippling is fAR easier to navigate than Paylocity. I don't have as much experience with Paylocity from more than a clock in/clock out and selecting medical coverage perspective. …
It blows Paylocity out of the water! The thing I struggled with the most when using Paylocity was the navigation/information architecture of the application. The layout of the information did not make sense and I could never find the "thing" I was looking for.
The ease of use and admin and employee interface of Rippling blows Paychex Flex out of the water. For a young and tech-oriented startup, Rippling is by far a better fit for our team!
Paylocity has some more nitty-gritty payroll editing and adjustment capabilities, which I hope …
Rippling is leaps and bounds ahead of Paylocity and ADP. Paylocity and ADP are archaic and outdated and are some of my least favorite HR/benefit software I have used. Rippling has been awesome to use and has a better UI, more features, better support, and is in my opinion the …
Rippling is more advanced than Paylocity was. It gives me more information and reminds me of important dates, such as birthdays and anniversaries. It's easier for my maintenance team to use as well. Rippling has better time management tools than Paylocity did. It also sends …
At a high level, Rippling is just more intuitive. Paylocity was hard to navigate, and I often found myself visiting multiple pages to find what I wanted. Rippling's navigation makes it easy to find what I'm looking for quickly without getting lost. Also, we recently went …
Rippling is much easier to use. It is better maintained and more accessible, which, in the end, makes it easier to use. I think there are a lot more options and things that you can do on Rippling compared to Paylocity. I feel more secure with my Rippling account.
In my opinion, Paylocity was a pain in the [...] to navigate. The app was constantly buggy to outright broken. It made us remember an arbitrary code for login that password managers didn't support. To me, just felt clunky compared to Rippling in almost every way. It did have a …
Paylocity was good, and had some feature that in a way I preferred ( pie chart in the paystub ; easier to locate accumulation and usage of PTO ) , however rippling is overall easier and more oriented to a less time consuming approach . it's also very final user friendly, …
Light years better from a usability standpoint. Easier to scale with than Gusto, which really starts to fall apart at about 100 employees. And finally, the ability to integrate with a majority of the systems we're already using today and to provision (and deprovision) those in …
In my opinion, superior reporting and easier access to manage HR & Benefits. Not too many bells and whistles, the user-friendly platform and data set pulls are great for myself and my clients.
I recently moved an employer/company to Rippling from TriNet. The experience has been oustanding and this employer is very happy with the move to Rippling. The service support from TriNet is severely lacking and it is very difficult for employers and employees to get any …
Rippling provides more features than the other products and the user interface is easier to use and integrates better with other platforms. We use NetSuite, and Rippling integrates well with NetSuite. Rippling also is a lot faster when it comes to loading screens and opening …
Rippling has one of the best UI, customer service was incredible, lot more offerings for the value of money we are paying to them. We also noted that other service providers HRIS system was not as great as Rippling where it can connect with ERP (without syncing errors) and …
Rippling provided more product availability to allow us to move several systems into one. Rippling also took the time to provide the service at a cost that would work for the company when combining all of these systems without seeing a negative return on investment. They were …
Rippling is much more intuitive. The UI is much more simple to navigate and does not require you to dig through several menus to find what you need like others do. I remember constant frustration trying to remember where certain features were located in other apps, but Rippling …
Like I mentioned before, it puts everything I need to manage my paycheck, insurance benefits and time off all in one. While the other products have some of those features it didn't have them all and definitely not in as easy to deal with format. I do think Rippling has made a …
Rippling is easily the worst of all worlds, and is super cumbersome, has the worst UI, and an all around nightmare to find what you need.

Chose Rippling
Traditional payroll software has a clunky user experience. They get the job done, but it's at the expense of more time spent by my HR team in supporting employees in using the software to find what they need. Rippling's self-service features work because it's intuitive and easy …
Paylocity is well suited to work with any size organization. I work for a public local government agency who has specific needs, and they were able to meet our expectations. We were appreciative of the work around suggestions that were provided to meet our needs and have a user-friendly system for our employees
It might sound repetitive, but Rippling is very intuitive, easy to use, and fill out. It’s not as bureaucratic as many systems, even in 2025, that companies with modern setups still use! So, when I know I need to fill something out in Rippling, I don’t procrastinate or get stressed because it will take up my time. No, it’s super simple and easy for me. Recently, I referred a friend, and it didn’t take 5 minutes, and I can even track the application processI just remembered., the only scenario that’s not very appropriate — and I can’t go into details as I’m not from HR and I’ve only recently joined the company — is that in Brazil, we are entitled by law to 30 days of paid vacation. We can take at least 15 days and sell the remaining days, and Rippling doesn’t fully understand this. I believe the HR director called an employee in Brazil, concerned that she had vacation days to take or something like that. In the end, she resolved it manually and said it was easy, but this would be a good area for improvement.
They notify myself and our employees of documentation requests, decisions made on requests they officially make.
Rippling handles the onboarding of new employees sending to them the necessary documents to be compliant with the business, state and accrediting agencies. They have direct portal that these items can then be uploaded to. So intuitive and streamlined. Love it.
Rippling offers many services and we have taken advantage of several of these. The ability to have one entity that manages so many facets of our business is so helpful. No longer wondering who is responsible for what documentation or what business hours are for someone who handles our HR. Now, it's all in one place and highly efficient.
Efficient. It's a word I use a lot when asked about Rippling. They have saved us time, and eliminated our errors which also cost time and money. This is a game changer for us. Not to mention a relief on the nerves.
We most likely will because we are learning how to use it better all the time. It does integrate with our Advanced Benefits. But the customer service is not responsive when needing help. It almost always requires several contacts to get anywhere, and the contacts can be several days apart. Once you actually get to TALK to someone, things are usually resolved fairly quickly, but their email system is not efficient. I get half answers and they close the ticket! But once I can get to someone, it is almost always great service. Very hard to get someone though.
Rippling continues to innovate and amaze me with their new innovations and features. Product feedback is taken seriously so I always give it whenever I can and end up seeing results. Rippling is the new wave of HRIS that cannot compare against others in the industry just due to the fact they are super user friendly!
To begin with, Paylocity provides easy instructions, lots of training tools, and an excellent support team. The data entry is easy to use, and the reporting is outstanding. The report function allows options to fit nearly all of our needs. The search engine makes it easy to navigate through the software.
As I explained, Rippling is very easy to work with. I can maneuver through the app very easily to find anything I’m looking for. It is a very smooth process for everything. They send alerts and reminders for the things that need to be completed. Rippling is a great tool.
I can always call the direct number and there is a representative always available to answer questions. I can also email the service desk for Paylocity or my representative and they are pretty quick to respond if we are having issues
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.
Reports load within seconds. The ease of finding information in the system is very nice. If for some reason you cannot get the info you need, you can either look it up in the help section or if time is of the essence, you may call the help desk and speak with a Paylocity representative immediately. You are never left alone. You never get a voicemail. You always get a live representative who can help you at that moment
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 really appreciate that we are assigned a support manager. That person is very familiar with our set up, our needs and our history. However, I've spoken to others on the support team and have had very positive interactions and get the help needed.
Rippling excels at automating HR and IT processes, seamlessly integrating employee onboarding, payroll, benefits, and device management into a unified platform. Its intuitive interface, customization options, and cost-effectiveness make it an ideal choice for organizations looking to streamline operations and enhance employee experience. Overall, Rippling simplifies complex tasks and improves efficiency, driving positive business outcomes.
I didn't have in-person training, but I'm sure it was just as great as any other training/assistance Paylocity provides. Paylocity customer service is always available. You never have to be on hold and their answers are always accurate and timely. Documents in the help section are helpful as well. My in-person training was conducted y one of our employees who was involved in the initial set-up and training of all employees. She was excellent.
The training was live online, but was with a group of other companies. We did not receive any personalized training with our team. Whenever we would ask for training, we would be sent a peak article link or a video. It felt like the reps we dealt with didn't know the answer to the questions.
We were handed off to multiple implementation people, some quit, one went on leave, one left suddenly, one was transfered to a diff dept...all causing a significant amount of disruption for our team. Many had conflicting info on how to properly set things up...hence a complete mess was left for us to figure out
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!
Paylocity offered great interfaces; ease of implementation; cost effective options; immediate partnership; and 360 integration for tools like 401k. It was a clear choice for HR, and it was strongly supported by our executive team. We receive positive feedback from our hourly employees. Some of the functionality in the app still needs to be updated. For example: time off requests come through as an email. Our managers used to be able to simply click on the email to approve. Now, we have to log into Paylocity to find time off area. It will come in time due to practice but it is cumbersome now.
Rippling can be integrated with many tools, but also already includes many of these features so you usually don't need to contract external services to track time or get employers feedback. Anyway feel free to attach many applications that potentially expands the Rippling capabilities making more useful and convenient if needed.
Our main function for Paylocity is payroll, data insights for employee working hours and onboarding. This has been a very reliable source for us for these functions. Payroll has been extremely easy to do using Paylocity. The onboarding process is very simple for new hires and makes the process run smooth. It is easy to find the information you are looking for while on Paylocity.
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.
They are thorough, care about quality and success, take the time needed to implement properly, answer questions, build data feeds. A professional, caring, very skilled team there.
Over time it has helped our retention. The ease of use and things like Community keep employees engaged.
We had over 500 employees, 20 locations, and 2 people can easily manage the entire HR process, from job posting, recruiting, training, onboarding, payroll processing and more.
Data Insights is very useful looking at our overall costs, trends, and we use it to better manage labor costs.
It has streamlined our onboarding processes removing the need to hire additional staff to handle onboarding.
Handles the expense reporting in such a manner that it is easy for a single superior to approve many many expense reports. This does not replace a whole position per se but it does allow the responsibility to be handled at a higher level with less middle management hands needed.
