Rippling
Rippling is an all-in-one workforce management solution that really does shine in streamlining the human resource, payroll, and IT processes in small and medium-sized enterprises, and this applies to those companies during growth phases. It's great for startups and companies with distributed workforces because it simplifies global payroll and benefits administration and ensures compliance across different regions. True to the strong integration with most of the well-known SaaS applications, Rippling boasts the strongest IT management features and is thus suitable for organizations that want intelligent solutions at the forefront. However, the platform may not be the best suited to large enterprises with tens of thousands of employees as they might need more complex HR solutions. Businesses with very complex global payroll needs would also find it lacking compared. Companies with more highly customized workflow processes in HR or deep workforce analytics might also experience difficulties because those are more standardized with Rippling. For tight-budget concerns, the platform could be too costly if their needs do not fully utilize its suite of features. Rippling has been a flexible solution, especially for growing businesses with diverse teams, but it may not be cut for large or highly specialized organizations.

Cons
Rippling
  • Providing point of contact for different aspects of the program, we have a customer service rep, who is fantastic, but he is the only person I know to reach out to, and he generally has to follow up with me with information on which department/person I need to get in touch with to resolve my question.
  • Their "help" section is a bit difficult to navigate, but I will say the team chat makes up for that particular shortfall.
  • Their pricing is a bit all over the place. Everything is "al a carte," so the costs can add up quickly.

  • Any areas of opportunity are discussed and addressed. They are incredibly open to suggestions and have an overall attitude of continuous improvement. No possibility goes unexplored.

Usability
Rippling
Rippling is certainly the most user-friendly HR and management software I have used. It's incredibly intuitive, with easy access for employees and managers, clear visibility, and simple but incredibly useful functions. I don't feel like it's a hassle to use.

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.

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.

The Rippling support team is INCREDIBLE. Their chat bot feature is very robust and if you need a live agent they are quick to hop on and a very helpful and friendly. Whether you need a Zoom call for a screen share or things are complicated and they need to make a support ticket, they will always work with you until you find a solution. VERY helpful! and Onboarding as a company/customer was great too.

Alternatives Considered
Rippling
Proof was much more convoluted and not easy to maneuver. Also all the platforms could not relate to each other and so nothing was streamlined in its approach. Also things seemed to lag and was not very up to date when it needed to be. I feel rippling has simplified their processes

Vibe HCM
We selected Vibe HCM about 2 1/2 years ago because they approached communication and the interaction between the employer and the employee so differently. It was a combination of connection and transaction. You have a system that meets the business need and functionality but that connects with your employee in such a fresh non-corporate way. It's not just about automating a process but building an environment that surrounds those daily business transactions that looks and feels how we interact on the web and social media. It totally transforms not only the user experience but the employers as well. It makes us think a little bit more about the touch points we have with our employees and how we want those to look/feel and resonate.

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.
