Chose Rippling
I find Rippling more comprehensive and easier to drive (as a non-IT-savvy person).
Chose Rippling
Rippling is a much more intuitive platform and has a much cleaner UI. Self-service options are more detalied and robust, while keeping to a clean and specific interface. User experience is more pleasant and log-in to system is more intuitive as well. Deployment team has also …
Chose Rippling
We don't experience any trouble or error at Rippling. It really exceeds our expectations, this is one of the best application we used so far and I can say that it is worth every penny! One of the best part is the Salary, no complain just all positive feedback. At dashlane we …
Chose Rippling
We chose Rippling primarily based on cost and feature set available. As a small organization, budget is a high priority. Rippling gave us enterprise-level features at an affordable cost for an early stage start up. We appreciate that we have the opportunity to expand our …
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
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 …
Chose Rippling
I did not make the decision to switch, but Rippling seems far easier to use and less cluttered in comparison to ADP. ADP seemed to provide more than was needed, especially for standard users. Rippling has done a good job of keeping everything relevant, with the ability to …
Chose Rippling
Rippling has better design, it makes more sense to me, it also has more on the demand support and builds better rapport with the demos and one-on-ones to explain features, there are more features within the system, less bugs and more consistency. There just seems to be more …
Chose Rippling
Must easier to use as far as the interface as it is less complicated and visually stacked.
Chose Rippling
Rippling is completely centralized and efficient; you don't have to jump from one link to another to track your time or complete your trainings, and you don't need to deal with Excel reports to get your time paid. All is on Rippling efficiently and automatically.
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 has been a very positive experience for myself. It is very comparable to ADP and Paycom, but seems to be more friendly to the smaller businesses
Chose Rippling
Rippling is a lot less finnicky and more intuitive than Emburse, and has much better UX. The Emburse website stressed me out much more frequently than the Rippling website does, it's a considerable improvement. The Rippling customer service team is also much better - they're …
Chose Rippling
Rippling is by far and away the best platform that I have used compared other basic HR services
Chose Rippling
1. Clear process mapping before implementation 2. Strategic focus 3. Scalability 4. Time Saving in key process 5. Improved Leadership & Employee Productivity 6. Efficiency Gains in HR / Payroll / Finance / IT 7. Employee Onboarding 8. Application like onboarding employees, …
Chose Rippling
Rippling stands out because it combines HR, IT, and finance in a single system instead of requiring multiple disconnected tools.
Chose Rippling
Rippling is easier to use and the payroll comparison is a real benefit. Paychex did not have a system for tracking PTO, annual leave, etc., but Rippling handles it well.
Chose Rippling
Rippling was better when it came to pricing against UKG Pro. UKG Pros software was also not as seamless as Rippling's software from a user perspective. I found that the support functionality was also better with Rippling when you email in to the site. There are several reasons …
Chose Rippling
Rippling is by far the best application I have used as an employee. It has no comparison. As someone who used to use Kronos/UMG, this application by far beats that product. Rippling should definitely be used at most work locations. I have never felt more confident in using an …
Chose Rippling
Rippling is way ahead. I haven't checked the actual numbers but from our company being a somewhat younger company, we need new ways and more interaction within our programs. Rippling takes the cake by far. We're able to accurately schedule emails, deliver payroll, send …
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
We used Payoneer before, but switching to Rippling has been a big upgrade. Rippling is much easier to work with, way more intuitive, and everything feels smoother. On top of that, their customer service is a huge step up, being so fast, helpful, and reliable compared to what we …
Chose Rippling
more smooth and efficient, helped to transform all the employees data smoothly plus all the employees as well adapted easily to Rippling since it was easy to understand as compared to earlier portal
Chose Rippling
It’s a much more intuitive and complete platform compared to others we explored. It also has a stronger reputation in the market. The partnerships we were able to build—and the post-sale support we received—made the entire experience much more robust.
Chose Rippling
Rippling stands out for its seamless automation, configurability and breadth of integration. Compared with Workday, Rippling is much easier to manage, no need for specialised admin teams and allows anyone to build or adjust workflows quickly. Compared to Justworks, Rippling …

Rippling
With Rippling, we get a one stop shop for all things HR. Our benefits, pay, PTO, and leave management are all under one umbrella. This simplifies workflow and limits the number of systems we need to access to take care of day to day HR tasks. Despite the one-stop shop aspect of it all, some processes ended up being more problematic than others, for instance, sometimes PTO requests that have been approved do not register as such - and sometimes duplicate notifications go out on those approvals. To be fair to Rippling, this is likely user error on our part with initial or continued setup issues, but it is also not (seemingly) easily remediated. Our overall experience with Rippling has been positive. The simplicity and ease of use definitely overcome the few nagging issues that we have experienced.

Pros
Rippling
  • 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
Rippling
  • 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
Rippling
Rippling has an easy-to-use user interface and so far, employees at my company have really enjoyed using it. I find the modules for payroll, performance management, personal information, and benefits easy to navigate and appreciate that so many different features are integrated into one product. I much prefer it to our previous HRIS, Workday.

Reliability and Availability
Rippling
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.

Performance
Rippling
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.

Implementation Rating
Rippling
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!

Workday is built for large enterprises. Rippling is optimized for small to mid-sized businesses that want flexibility, fast execution, and fewer administrative hurdles. Rippling lets you pay only for what you use—payroll, benefits, device management, etc.—whereas Workday often comes as a large, bundled enterprise solution, which may be overkill for many organizations.

Scalability
Rippling
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
Rippling
  • 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.
