What is Rippling?
Rippling gives businesses one place to run HR, IT, and Finance. It brings together all of the workforce systems that are normally scattered across a company, like payroll, expenses, benefits, and computers. This enables users to manage and automate every part of the employee lifecycle in a single system.
For example, when onboarding a new employee, Rippling can take a new hire from anywhere in the world and set up their payroll, corporate card, computer, benefits, and even third-party apps like Slack and Microsoft 365—all within 90 seconds.

Finally, a Human Resources tool made with human users in mind
- Clean UI - there is no ambiguity about what function each button will perform.
- Very easy to navigate. It is not difficult to find what is being looked for.
- Single location for multiple functions. This is great for me as there is one central hub for all professional admin matters. Saving me valuable time that I can better spend on more pressing work matters.
- The corporate color scheme is somewhat dated feeling.
- The 2FA a uthentication would be improved by being able to use faceID or fingerprint instead of entering numerical code each login.
- It would be nice to set up alerts for myself in rippling
Rippling is a great tool!
- Paystub is easy to see
- Find other coworkers contact info and other information
- Update by 401k and HSA contributions
- Hard to find certain applications
- 401k reporting (Human Interest app) is not very intuitive
- I would love to see the team in a tree (hierarchy) rather than just searching for people individually
10/10
- Clocking in and out aspect.
- Simplicity of the site.
- In my level of use, there is nothing I have a complaint about.

Rippling Scales with Our Seed Stage Startup - With a UI that Makes Using its Tons of Features Simple
One small point that has set the entire Rippling experience apart from competitors (Gusto) is the simplicity of the UI. Keeping the UI simple & readable when an employee is solving one task at a time or an admin has one urgent task to attend to is difficult for how many features Rippling has. Big tip of the hat to the Rippling team for keeping the UX disciplined and usable rather than flashing or confusing.
- Employee onboarding
- Prioritizing urgent admin tasks, such as signing new employees or renewing insurance
- Allowing admins quick, readable reviews of team information
- As we grow, the pricing of additional modules looks like it will grow quickly. Keeping this low would encourage us to lean into more use cases faster.
- Changing employee salaries in the UI/UX was difficult the first time we learned how to do it.
- Expense management could be more automated - Automatically creating filters on approved or unapproved expenses rather than post-hoc review.
We still have more to learn about adding more complex modules like document management, device management, Mainstreet tax credit integration, and others. Simpler, more powerful 'so what?' demos and examples of what those integrations get us would help motivate us to add more faster. It is hard to tell which integrations are magic and powerful and which are boring.
Rippling is incredible and I would reccomend to anyone!
- People Management- Helps track you & your team
- Benefits. Provides detailed info on benefit plan
- Structure- Helps educate the team with new lessons
- I think it would be helpful if the rippling calendar can connect to our gmail.
- Potentiall helpful if rippling included more learning sessions
A sensible approach to empowering your employees
- Clocking in on time
- Checking PTO balances
- Review my paycheck details
- Updating the pin drops to give local admin ability to designate where to clock in
wonderfully helpful product
- user interface
- application linking
- payroll
- two factor authentication is annoying, but I don't think that's their fault

Rippling is an awesome employee onboarding tool!
- Fluid user experience

- The design of the platform is user friendly, organized and has a clean look
- I receive notifications pretty instantly when requesting changes or time off
- There is instructions and notifications to help guide you when you first sign in, which is nice
- I like that I have to include an authenticator code to gain access, security it important to me!
- Sometimes I forget the left hand navigation bar is where I need to scroll to find things - without clicking on the extend icon
- The expand tool in the navigation bar doesn't close if I open a different component in the list
Such a great and easy to use platform!!
- I like how easy it is to clock in and out
- I like how we have to review & submit our time sheet every week
- I like how easy is to see all my benefits, including time off and vacation policy
- I noticed that when I'm taking my lunch break (30 minutes break) if I use the app on my phone, there is a lag. If I don't refresh the app all the time when I'm in my break it won't show the correct duration of my break. I am not seeing this issue on the web browser version, only the mobile app.
Easy Secure Payroll Service
- Rippling makes the onboarding process very easy for both employer and employees.
- It also allows my company to automate a wide range of HR processes such as time off and timekeeping.
- Rippling provides easy access to one payroll including paystuffs
- I will suggest Rippling to offer a free trial, so that user can take the platform for a test drive before signing up for the service.
- Rippling should also consider offering some flexibility in terms of building a package to fit one's budget and needs.

2. Payroll management
Rippling takes the load off our organization's functions and provides immediate resolution for employee questions and needs. With Rippling there's no need in most cases to ask our operations team for help and there's no confusion around benefits and payroll. In acute cases like adding a beneficiary to a health insurance plan, Rippling has an online solution that does not require human intervention.
- Add beneficiary to health insurance
- Find information about paychecks
- Submit claims for FSA and transit reimbursement
- Get information about benefits and care plans
- The QLE button is hidden
- After enrolling there's a loading screen that it's not clear if you can exit or must watch
2. It provides detailed comparisons of plans and is accurate about the cost to the employee
3. It's a great system to manage FSA and other expenses especially with its debit card
4. Claims are handled quickly and reimbursed very fast, I had no issues with declined claims. If something is declined there's always a clear explanation
