Chose Rippling
While I did not have a hand in selecting Rippling as an integration product for the agency, I have used similar products like ADP and Workday and I find Rippling to be the most user friendly, intuitive, and simple. The security settings, time, benefit, and spend management …
Chose Rippling
G&A/Worksight was clunky and poorly designed, not integrated features, more like they were "snapped in" to aging code and mismatched user interfaces and often did not work well (training modules, time off calendar, payroll was third party, just very clunky to use). Our HR …
Chose Rippling
Rippling is a much more modern-feeling platform with a better and more clear UI. TriNet was hard to navigate and visualize even basic things such as PTO balance. I'll say that the I haven't been able to use Rippling's mobile app pretty much ever which was not the case with TriNe…
Chose Rippling
Rippling is far easier and cheaper to use. It just does not have the deep integration with a wide range of SIEM and GRC tools, but we appreciate Rippling's simplicity. Rippling handles the basics we need VERY well with little admin effort, and, if properly configured, we have …
Chose Rippling
The Goal setting and tracking features are easier to fill in and takes very less time to setup. The drop down feature in rippling is very helpful which is missing in UKG wherein we have to fill all the details from scratch and enter them in words which takes a lot of time and …
Chose Rippling
Rippling is far ahead to SAP Concur. It has people in its corner who care and are willing to talk you through any issue you have on the platform. I had a very negative experience with SAP Concur. I can only say that Rippling cares as a company about your pay and your …
Chose Rippling
Rippling is ahead of the curve on automation for HRIS systems. The others pale in comparison. If you need a system that functions as a multitool, this is doing the work that others cannot
Chose Rippling
100% better from a tech/analytics platform, benefit rates on the PEO vary. Good for companies in hyper growth and growth. Excellent automation.
Chose Rippling
Previously used OptimumHR which didn't allow processing of global employees or contractors along with my domestic ones. Also didn't have the financial tools built in.
Chose Rippling
Rippling offered more intuitive HR functionality and greater IT management offerings than the other vendors we looked at.
Chose Rippling
Gusto is "prettier" for a user experience but I think rippling has more functionality than Gusto does and can consolidate all the things we currently do at the agency all in one platform/software. I prefer being able to keep everything together in one platform which my company …
Chose Rippling
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 …
Chose Rippling
Rippling was better suited to scale with our organization and provided excellent onboarding/implementation support.
Chose Rippling
Rippling has more to offer and all items are in one location which facilitates the processes for managers. It appears logins are easier. UKG logins have seemingly been a problem for staff attempting to sign in or out of shifts.
Chose Rippling
Rippling is WAY better than Nexonia in almost every way. It's been a long time since I used Expensify, but Rippling has new features, such as a digital expense/per diem card, that Expensify did not have when I was using it.
Chose Rippling
Because of the ease of use, I will say that Rippling is much easier to use for international Payroll than ADP. I have used ADP in the past, and it has a lot of issues with use, besides the customer service with ADP was not pleasant, and Rippling has been.
Chose Rippling
The thing is that Rippling is way more transparent and for what it looks until now, it has more features.
Deel has been easier to use, but with less features
Chose Rippling
Rippling was much more affordable and the only platform that views all of the different elements as one source of truth, rather than having multiple information sources that aren't speaking to each other on a platform level.
Chose Rippling
Switching from Paylocity to Rippling was an upper management decision and I had no say so on the switch. I am simply an employee and use Rippling to access payroll, my benefits elections, learning and safety tasks assigned by the company. I also use it to access my healthy …
Chose Rippling
Better paystub and W-2 reporting. ADP made a lot of mistakes.
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 …

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
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.

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.

Usability
Rippling
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.

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!

Alternatives Considered
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 provided early insight into the relatively new product.

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.
