This enables users to manage and automate every part of the employee lifecycle in a single system. For example, when onboarding a new employee, Rippling can take a new hire from anywhere in the world and set up their payroll, corporate card, computer, benefits, and even third-party…

I believe it is well suited for a small sized company, like my previous one, that does not want any IT overhead to onboard a new tool. This tool is available online and can be accessed via the internet. It has all the necessary components to help you record your activity. But the solution in its current form is not scalable. [I've] Given few of my reasons I feel this is not well suited for a large company (like the one I currently work at).
HAving used competitor products like the ancient PeopleSoft and some other legacy tools like Workday, Rippling outshines them significantly.
The product feels as though it was developed for users and not just for company HR teams. Because it is easy to use I find that I use it frequently. I am on top of my to-do duties and have more time, space and energy to focus on the actual work of my job.
It allowed me to fill my work time sheet. Every week I had to fill this. Based on the numbers the company keeps track of which days I worked.
It reminded me to fill the time sheets constantly and also notifies me when it gets approved. So I never really forgot to fill it.
It allowed me to see my vacation days left, and plan ahead.
It had a list of holiday dates which was very handy to plan my trips or vacation.
It had categorization by department and my view of time sheets was only limited to me. I could not see others time sheets, and except for my manager, nobody else could look into mine.
It had internet access, which meant I could fill my sheets anywhere. It came in handy while working from home where a VPN connection may not be present. I also guess that this service being online meant no extra effort from IT department side.
The UI in my opinion was too simple. Calendar views were pretty stale.
I don't believe there was a mobile app for this, or this site worked nicely when opened on small devices.
A better view of my time could have been shown. At the time I could only see small excel like boxes filled with numbers. Graphs, or some other visualization of remaining days would have been lucrative.
Very stupid login page. We had to fill "company name" at the login page and this name had to match exactly to what was set in the database. It was frustrating and I always had to refer my notes to get that right.
There wasn't any preselection option which made it hard to do it fast. If I can only set a few fields (because we had long list of dropdowns to choose from) then this process could be much smoother.
A major issue was not being able to see my team-mates schedule or calendar. E.g. when are they taking vacations. So I had to pester them offline to get this information. Many times due to inter-team miscommunication we didn't know about others vacation days during planning. A central place where I could see this information would have helped me a lot.
Usability for Rippling is one of the best features and positives of implementing this system. There is almost no user interaction related to the onboarding process which is one of the most demanding and stressful parts about HR. As a personal user, the interface/UI is simple and easy to follow with large icons and no clutter of information you don't need. As a backend user, reports are easy to refresh
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 support provides adequate answers as long as you are able to properly outline a detailed problem statement (So you have to be an experienced user), from my experience, I believe Rippling should have a way to contact them faster such as a live chat or call availability (at least for 1,000+ employees clients) instead of just email and also they working hours being limited to Monday-Friday are not great. I've personally encountered a problem on a Friday night that ended up affective a business-critical operation and could not get it resolved until the next Monday, that was certainly not a great weekend.
I believe it is not in my power to select the best tool. It depends on whatever company I work for. It just happens that we use a different system (and I don't even know if this is an internal system, or another online tool). But I do like my current system. It has a better UI, and more detailed insights about my time. It also shows my pay stubs and other small neat information like tax papers to help me organize. It also has notifications when something new comes up. All these features I think I lacked in Replicon (or maybe my company didn't have access to these).
I've used ADP for payroll in the past, and like some others I've used, it was a bit clunky and outdated. In comparison, Rippling has a much cleaner and modern look and feel and it's easy to find what you're looking for. Unlike others I have had experiences with, Rippling is easy to login and use on a mobile device as well.
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.
Replicon helped me maintain a record of my time. This helped during my assessment where my manager could see my work hours.
Replicon was easy to use, so I didn't spend my precious time filling sheets in this site. As far as I can remember, this site only gave me problem once, but was never down.
Though a good tool, I actually never got the use case of recording your time sheets. I think it will be pretty hard for an employee to just fill the time sheet and not show up for work. There are so many meetings and people around you, that you cannot fake your presence. So I feel there is no need to fill time sheets. It is a functionality with no real world solution.
Rippling has helped us with Google negotiations time and time again
Being a re-seller of Google means they take the burden of support, they're 9 to 6 Mon-Fri, so if something blows up on a weekend you can't get anyone until Monday
At times, the integration options are a bit obtuse and confusing.
