Rippling
Chose Rippling
Rippling is miles ahead in intuitive, modern design. Maas360 feels outdated and makes connecting devices and tracking them a puzzle to be put together. Rippling makes assigning simple and easy.
Chose Rippling
It blows it out of the water. ADP is one of the worst product with the worst support I have ever encountered. The switch to Rippling is one of the best moved I have made.
Chose Rippling
Some features have been helpful but for the most part the features are comparable from the employee perspective. For the finance and operations teams I know the Rippling has been easier to manage from a customer support and service angle, in terms of more complicated payroll …
Chose Rippling
Compared very well, I don't see any differences.
Chose Rippling
BambooHR was a great system as well. Looking toward the future Rippling offered more that we use currently and will use in the future. We are not looking to change systems in a few years. We are looking forward to growing with Rippling.
Chose Rippling
Gusto is very user friendly but lacks some of the "extra" features like review cycles and applicant tracking.
Chose Rippling
Rippling has a better UX design. This is significant because poor UX makes a huge difference to employees who are trying to complete HR or Hiring processes. Rippling PEO has been seemless and the onboarding team were excellent.
Chose Rippling
I'm sorry I wasn't involved in the decision-making process for switching to Rippling so I don't know what other HRIS software they looked at. Apologies.
Chose Rippling
Rippling had better pricing, more integration capabilities (360s where Paylocity only had 180s), and better access to customer service. It's been an absolute blast to use Rippling, it's got very good flow to it. It easy to find what you need organically or through the chat bot. …
Chose Rippling
I am not the one who actually changed from Clockify; I am just a Rippling user. But what I can tell you is that I used Clociky for almost a year, and it's the best. Rippling has more features, and those actually impact how the job is done and our daily production.
Chose Rippling
It helps keep all the systems centralized and unifies processes into a single tech stack. This is very helpful for small HR teams, especially remote ones that might need assistance with different laws and regulations from different states or countries. It also helps to have a …
Chose Rippling
I think Gusto is easier to use as a platform in terms of how to navigate it, however, I think it is more limited in terms of functionality and is also more expensive overall which is why I chose Rippling to try.
Chose Rippling
I like Rippling better than just works. The UX/UI is friendlier for employees of all backgrounds and it's easier to manager from the backend. As a manager, I prefer Rippling as well to help support my team through the website. It made it easier and had more features than …
Chose Rippling
Rippling was chosen because the price was more reasonable than other companies, and it had features that we needed. It is the perfect system for our business. Althought it could have more functions, it has all the functionality that our company needs.
Chose Rippling
It's way easier to navigate, things are in much cleaner spots. I used to get pretty lost on the workday interface, but I feel Rippling has everything that's important and in the areas you want them to be as a user. It also includes pay, whereas in the past we used MyPay as a …
Chose Rippling
Rippling is much more straightforward and easier to navigate than Workday, in my opinion. The layout feels more intuitive, and it’s easier to find what you need without having to click through multiple menus or search extensively. Tasks like onboarding, benefits selection, and …
Chose Rippling
Rippling was miles above Bamboo, UKG, and ADP. I think that they're very comparable to Paycom. Rippling was, by far, the most tech-driven HRIS we tested which was why it was ultimately chosen in favor of other options.
Chose Rippling
Rippling is way more advanced than Deel, I use that in past, especially UI and UX is way better, and overall product is really giant as compared to Deel, support is amazing, the mobile app is really amazing, the documents managements make it even better. So Rippling is much …
Chose Rippling
Rippling overshadows all these in terms of unified dashboard integrating all separate usage of a software into one specific and ever combing features. Also Rippling helps to track leaves and all HR perks rather than tracking them and their uage through separate separate …
Chose Rippling
Rippling is just much easier to use and very easy to recognize
Chose Rippling
Rippling has a much more modern, user-friendly approach, and it continues to build out their product suite to help create a seamlessly integrated eco-system.

BambooHR is also more modern, but doesn't seem to have the broad product suite that Rippling is pursuing. UKG felt so …

Chose UKG Pro
In my experience, every single think that UKG Pro does, both Paylocity and When I Work do better. Literally every single thing
Chose UKG Pro
UKG Pro for the web is so user friendly. I can't imagine going back to another system that wasn't SAAS. UKG Pro is cutting edge and always offers modern optimization.
Chose UKG Pro
UKG Pro provides me with all the required information that is needed for doing daily offcial activities for employement total development whereas if I talk about other tools like okta - which emphasize more on monthly/quaterly/yearly commission or offical approvals . DKM is …
Chose UKG Pro
Well obviously we moved from Paylocity and ADP because it didn't work, but we've been with UKG when they acquired Kronos and now it's one company. And so those products together are really, really good. And that's why we use this product. It's also because we have legacy with …
Chose UKG Pro
My personal career, I've used Workday, ADP, and Paychex (which is just really just payroll. I think UKG, it's up there. Well UKG can't stack up to anybody
Chose UKG Pro
The only one that I've ever used that's similar to this is going to be a SAP program, and that's the only other program that I've used that's similar to it. ADP as well. To be honest, I didn't use all the functions with all of those. Even though I was a user, my role was …
Chose UKG Pro
Not an HR module, but an entire suite of offerings. We chose UKG due to the customizing that could happen, in addition to the opportunity to move forward in technology with a trusted organization.
Chose UKG Pro
I think they are a class of their own. The customer service is amazing with UKG
Chose UKG Pro
We selected UKG because at the time it felt like it was easier to use. Now questioning as it is not as seamless or as robust as we thought. Could be our lack of knowledge, but that is the issue.
Chose UKG Pro
We have such historical use of UKG Pro it will be hard to replace for us.
Chose UKG Pro
Used to use Kronos...much better product with UKG

It has a favourites section for commonly used functions. This is perfect for logging in pre-sift and managing my timekeeping. It is easy to view my payslip. It is well-documented and accurate, and it also provides me with an accurate timeline for when to expect my pay to clear. Overall, very easy to use and great interface.

I would say, well, I don't want to focus on less appropriate. I want to be well suited. I really feel like if the transparency with our count rep and then just diving in onto how to problem solve and how to troubleshoot, I think that's most important with that.

Pros
  • It is really easy to navigate, I barely needed instruction on how to do things in it as it is very intuitive.
  • Ease of workflow mapping, it was easy to have emails auto-generated to our staff regarding their eLearn content or compliance requirements.
  • Onboarding was made much easier with the workflows, auto emails sent at different points in the onboarding process, ensuring everything gets done to prepare the company to accept the new hire and to inform the new hire of what to expect.

  • UKG Pro is very configurable to meet the specific needs of companies
  • It is easy to use and navigate
  • The mobile app is loved by all employees and provides on-demand access

  • The Learning Centre is also amazing!! Learning right at your fingertips anytime, anywhere.

Cons
  • Rippling could improve their payment days. Currently they make employee payments around the 15th and 30th of the month, but it varies slightly with every month. It would make more sense to do this payment on every other Friday or every other Monday.

  • Offer a fully integrated reporting solution that pulls from all modules versus a separate analytics tool in each module.
  • Ability to use the ideas UKG Pro presents without being forced into specific modules. Ex Provide a Learning space where ANY learning platform the customer chooses plugs in, a Recruiting/Onboarding Space where ANY platform will plug in, EE Engagement, Performance, ... then the data connects to the data points within the architecture. With this model, anyone would be able to use the Career Designer versus limited to only those who have the perfect combination of products. This is just an example. Many times the products are created by UKG Pro that are amazing, then comes the "You must have A, B, C, D modules to use it" which excludes many customers and limits UKG Pro's selling potential.
  • At my last organization, we had what was formerly referred to as a "Global" account rep. This person had very limited amount of clients, we met on every case. They delegated our cases immediately in products outside of core to the same team member from that product. Our response time was usually less than one day. It was the best customer service I have had in 10 years as a client. Why is this model not looked at for everyone versus 3 different reps. This one person handled everything except sales. IT was beautiful. We met weekly. We never had cases go beyond a few days unless a JIRA was in play. Customer Service matters so much where many companies sell similar technology.
  • Org Chart - Executives would like the ability to stage movement and budget to see what the org would look like in a reorg planning. There is no ability to move, rearrange, export to different applications like PowerPoint.

I've been fully impressed with the tool so far in my 6 months of being a daily user. It's rare to run into an issue that can't be solved. Customer service is quick to respond and are usually very helpful. The price is great for the upgrade we got from our past tool. We hit our ROI within the first month.

The only reason that I give a 9 rather than a 10 is because, while I am an influencer in the decision making process, the final decision to renew vendor relationships is by committee. If the final decision is up to me, Independent Bank would be a partner with Ultimate Software for the rest of my career.

Usability
Very intuitive, user-friendly, and modern interface that doesn't make you cringe when you have to access it for anything. The admin navigation is easier compared to our previous system, and doesn't feel like a maze of complicated jargon. On the user side, the benefits enrollment process was a breeze, and felt so much more informative and efficient. Accessing the benefits post-enrollment is also very straightforward.

It gets the job done, but not with a few deep sighs. Once you know where stuff lives, it's manageable, but the first learning curve is steep, some menus feel buried. However, it's consistent, reliable and doesn't crash on me, which counts for a lot. With a little UI glow up it could push into a 9 zone.

Reliability and Availability
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.

Our up time has been 100% in the 2 and half years as I recall.

Performance
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.

Most of the online training was very generic (to be expected) but we had specific requirements for configuration that could have been better addressed with more individual sessions earlier on from our project team. However, we did finally begin booking training sessions with our implementation team which were recorded, and so provided additional information for how to correctly configure and test the system.

Implementation Rating
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!

These actually work. In my experience, yours does not even load on a web-browser properly. They have business professional actual listen to client-needs. In my experience, your system has to tell everyone how it needs to be done without exception. These systems were written to solve problems, your system is nothing but problems and workarounds.

  • When COVID sent us remote, we could configure custom fields to track vaccination status.
  • The C-suite can get custom reports done in minutes, or ours, where our previous HRIS would have taken days to accomplish, as data would have had to have been exported to Excel and then manipulated inside Excel.
  • UKG has allowed to go virtual paper free as both a candidate and employee.
