    Rippling
    Rippling is an excellent product that has streamlined our payroll and leave management processes. The interface is good, and it’s very convenient to manage everything in one place. While the initial setup was somewhat lengthy, and the mobile experience can sometimes be a bit slow, overall, it has been a reliable and effective solution for our needs.

    I highly recommend Wagepoint, especially for start-up companies. Their fees are really cheap and the quality of their work is really good. They may have room for improvement on the reporting side, but given their flexibility, they can always find a way to help your organization. I definitely recommend Wagepoint.

    Pros
    Rippling
    • Payroll alert is provided to my entire company, which spans more than 10,000 employees with different time zones. The app never fails to alert the team members when it’s payday in any country.
    • Automation, this function has everything you need in one area. Weather it be requesting time off, looking at your W2 or even checking stocks in your 401k portfolio. This app makes it easy to search for everything in one place.
    • Communication: Several different members of the association are able to communicate effectively and timely within the app. Rippling is a worldwide country that is difficult to maintain, but it does it easily.

    Cons
    Rippling
    • Setting up Roles and Permissions is complex and tends to be a headache for our HR team. Defining the correct access levels often takes more time than it should.
    • The interface can feel a little overwhelming at times due to the sheer number of modules and functionalities.
    • While support is helpful, the initial response speed could be improved in non-urgent situations.

    • Reports need to be improve. You cannot customize your preferred report. Thus, manual reporting happens at times. But you can't complain on the cost.
    • Flexibility on late notice of payroll processing. Lowering additional fees could help us.
    • Need to ask clients for feedback on the use of system.

    I can say the easy answer that everyone is already used to it, especially of how integrated it is into our system, but I know for sure the best answer is because of how much easier it is to use compared to other systems when it comes to being such an all in one tool

    Usability
    Rippling
    I think that if I didn't have the human rep walking me through everything, I would have trouble navigating the platform. There are a lot of menu options, and some of the options are buried, so it was a little confusing and difficult to find where certain things are. But again, because of the human reps, you're able to understand how to use it better.

    Performance
    Rippling
    Yes, the pages load quickly and running payroll has been very easy. Reporting could be improved, though. I tried to pull a report on total payroll for a particular year and had a hard time finding what I need.

    Rippling
    My only pain point is that you have to go through the AI chatbot before you can get to a human. And most often that's okay and honestly quicker, but if you have a time sensitive issue or need a human ASAP it can be stressful. I will say, everything is very quick from a response timeline.

    Rippling
    I gave it a 10 rating because I was pleased with the services and training provided. When my team and I got the word we'd be using Rippling, it was an easy transition because of your professionalism in this space. I loved the time and the effort and care we received when trying to navigate this site, We had a lot of questions in the beginning, but all of the questions were answered and in a timely, effective manner.

    Implementation Rating
    Rippling
    The assigned team was responsive. Daily Rippling would tell me that I had tasks open. This was repetitive until resolved. So even though Rippling itself remined you upon opening the system, there was the daily email reminder. That was annoying. But Rippling personnel helped us resolve all tax issues, and walk us through policy setup

    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 department was constantly required to help managers administrate and users as well. Rippling is used as our HR/employee management, payroll, training and benefits management. This replacement product has solved a lot of our useability issues that we had with our previous platform and freed up/automated a lot of the accounting and HR assistance needed previously, which as an aging, clunky platform that just had a LOT of bugs, and not a lot of features or flexibility.

    Wagepoint is great for our Canadian employees, as Gusto does not support multi-national workforces. However, Gusto provides a much more robust system with which you can manage employees salaries, healthcare benefits, and additional benefits. Gusto also provides ample data with which to evaluate costs, understand employees, and forecast future costs, which Wagepoint does not support.

    We only have 12 employees, but the system would work for very large organizations because of the approval processes set up within it.
