Considered Both Products
Ramp
Chose Ramp
Ramp is much more user friendly and better tech. Bill and Coupa are quite outdated products that pretend to be well-designed software.
Chose Ramp
Ramp is simple and easy to use. Expensify has a lot more features making it better in terms of features for users who are tech savvy. But Ramp is simple to use and can be used by anyone making it easier to use an be one of user favorites. So Ramp is easy to use and Expensify is …
Chose Ramp
Like I mentioned previously, I have not really used any competitors.
Rippling
Chose Rippling
Ramp is a standalone spend, so they are more robust and the "free" model they use is better in my opinion. The rewards are higher and no associated fee with module.
Chose Rippling
Rippling offered more intuitive HR functionality and greater IT management offerings than the other vendors we looked at.
Chose Rippling
Better paystub and W-2 reporting. ADP made a lot of mistakes.
Chose Rippling
Rippling offered a superior experience for the admin and user. Paycom was old and clunky feeling. We had to adapt to their systems as opposed to it adapting to our needs. Additionally, Paycom's app wasn't robust from a manager perspective. They were price neutral when …
Chose Rippling
Rippling was able to do all they they could do and more. And better. A major plus for us has also been the responsiveness from Rippling that we didn't get from customer support before.
Chose Rippling
Rippling offers more complex features allowing employees to really take control on how they use Rippling. It also has a really simple and clean user interface that is great to use especially for those that do not have strong computer skills. This drives strong employee …
Chose Rippling
As far as I am concerned, Rippling was the go-to alternative at first because of pricing. The company did not need anything that the competitors of Rippling had, and the price was less.

Hyperwallet offers a while-labeled site, which is not necessary for us since there is no need …
Chose Rippling
Rippling is like a modern version of ADP which is more user friendly.
Chose Rippling
In addition to Rippling, I've utilized ADP, Workday and Paylocity. My view is that Rippling is easier to implement and has a lower learning curve for employees. While others may be more robust in a specific area (i.e. ADP for payroll), Rippling covers more bases.
Chose Rippling
Rippling is much easier and more effective than any of the past systems I have used for HR management such as UKG or Sequoia. Other systems have too many options/their UI is not intuitive to use for an average user. Many employees are not technically savy and therefore require …
Chose Rippling
Rippling's customer support is way better than ADP Workforce Now's customer support. Their response is faster, and issues are resolved. Rippling's reports are easier to configure and ready to be exported to MS Excel. The reports in ADP Workforce Now are, by default, exported …
Chose Rippling
Better - comprehensive coverage, ability to manage more beyond just HR/payroll as we expand, exceptional service during difficult moments

Ramp Business Corporation
Ramp is well suited for managing everyday spending. We have been able to set standard permissions across the board for our team, monitor spending easily, and adjust "allowances" accordingly and quickly. The instant funding once a request is approved makes it so much faster to make a purchase, if outside of the set parameters. Ramp travel offerings are sometimes unattractive, and we have found many flights, hotels, and car rentals by going to other platforms or the suppliers directly. Pricing is comparable, but many times it is cheaper to book outside of Ramp.

Hmmm, this is a tricky one, as I was only really in charge of the LMS function. It is very well suited in the LMS section for a business that just needs basic e-learning building and a repository for company video content, a go-to for all things learning and education.

Pros
Ramp Business Corporation
  • You can forward your receipts to receipts@ramp.com and it will auto-approve.
  • You can easily reverse charges if an employee accidentally places a charge on their work card.
  • You can send employees physical Ramp cards.
  • You can create as many virtual cards as needed.

  • Three different options to view the hours you've worked in a pay period. All three are valuable in their own way! I love this and use each one every week.
  • Rippling has the option to retroactively log your hours later if you forget to log in before you start work. I love this because sometimes I take a work call on the go and don't have time to clock in first. Such a handy feature!
  • Rippling has also made putting in time-off requests (sick/PTO/etc) so much easier. I'm sure every HR team would appreciate this!

Cons
Ramp Business Corporation
  • Even more integration to have us spend less time on reporting expenses for grant reports
  • This does not happen often, but if you make a purchase and then cancel it with the vendor, for some reason, Ramp does not immediately recognize that purchase cancellation and will continue to remind you to submit a receipt or tag it as an accidental charge, but there is no option to tag it as a canceled purchase.

  • Could clarify what is being asked when creating expense reports.
  • It could make 2FA more intuitive on mobile, such as allowing iPhone users to use Face ID as an alternative if the device is locked.
  • Overall avoid using too much jargon when asking questions.

Usability
Ramp Business Corporation
Ramp offers an exceptionally intuitive user interface with a clean, well-organized design. The platform demonstrates continuous improvement through regular feature enhancements and updates. New employee onboarding requires minimal training due to the platform's logical section-based layout and user-centric design, which facilitates rapid adoption and efficient navigation. Overall Ramp's interface and UI is very user friendly.

The user interface is very intuitive most of the time. It is easy to see where and how to navigate, edit, and interact with the software. The leave approval notification system (and associated communications) were the one area where this was not the case. Those were difficult processes to address. To be fair to Rippling, that is likely the result of our initial configuration - so user error on our part.

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.

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!

We moved to Ramp from Expensify at our accountant's advice. We went with her advice due to ease of use, ease of Quickbooks sync, ability to send reminders with one click, and more. We are very happy with the decision to switch to Ramp.

We selected Rippling because of its cost and ease of use. Our experience with Workday was not positive and we wanted to avoid a repeat of an expensive contract that ultimately does not serve our needs well. I also have a friend who works as an account manager for Rippling who provided early insight into the relatively new product.

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
Ramp Business Corporation
  • The actual dollar savings is difficult to determine at this point. We'll have a better idea the ROI at the end of the year. Previously, we received 1% back on all purchases with our corporate card. We receive 1.5% with Ramp, pay per number of cards annually (for Ramp Plus) to auto-lock cards and for additional features.
  • Time savings for admin and employees has been significant due to ease of use.

  • Routine things like PTO requests and document uploads now take a few clicks instead of hours of email back‑and‑forth. I’d estimate I spend at least half the time on those tasks compared to before, which frees me up to actually help employees.
  • What used to drag on for days now gets done in a morning - I've just asked them this now. New hires can log in, set up their tools, and start training almost immediately, so they’re productive much sooner.
  • Payroll and benefits errors used to pop up regularly, but now I almost never have to fix things or follow up on missing info. That means less stress for me and for everyone involved.
  • Having everything in one platform cuts out the “where did you send that?” and “who approves this?” questions. It feels like we’ve reduced our back‑and‑forth by at least a third.
