Rippling a simple and easy to use HR tool.

Rating: 8 out of 10

January 7, 2026

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Rippling as our HR tool. We use it as a system of record for staff and to control onboarding/offboarding and ensure compliance and control of access. We use some of the training options, mostly to control other 3rd party training options we have; with Rippling, we can have one training console for admins rather than 3 or 4. It keeps training simple.

Pros

Simple and clean interface (just the buttons you need).
Can administer many 3rd party training platforms.
Very easy to configure detailed reports to be set or shared with other teams, so they do not need access to the HR tool.

Cons

Native API integrations are limited esp. on SIEMs and GRC tools.
Self paced admin training is weak for the product.
CVS format is not available for a lot of reports, you must use pdf.

Likelihood to Recommend

Rippling will do well if a company has a major SIEM and GRC tool like Splunk, Archer, or MetricStream. Otherwise, you will have to work on a custom API to integrate with smaller SIEM or GRC tool vendors. We found it simpler to generate many individual reports in Rippling and manually upload them to our GRC tool to demonstrate compliance, rather than writing a custom API that would need to be updated after each patching cycle.

Rippling as one of the best workforce management system.

Rating: 10 out of 10

January 6, 2026

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Ease of Use and their customization on the user interface. The time off and goal setting feature makes things more easier and user friendly. The terminology used and options to select in the beginning felt difficult to find and understand but once after getting used to it made it easier than other portals.

Pros

User interface
Goal setting and tracking feature
Leave Management

Cons

Payroll administration
Announcements
Send an email once the leave has been approved by manager

Likelihood to Recommend

Great experience, really helpful and easy to track the goals. It is highly recommended as one of the best HR portal as well as a self monitoring portal. It is very easy for me to track my goals for the year and also set for the next year. The leave management portal is also really useful and easy.

Payroll services and storing employe imformation

Pros

Employee records
Payroll
Tax and T4

Cons

Faster reports

Likelihood to Recommend

Can't say for sure it's very good with payroll and fast response. With given real time response it might be a place for improvement. Overall using Rippling is very good and we are happy with it. It is also very good with accurate tax reporting. Over the year we have had no issues with it

A fantastic HR software

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it as an HR platform. We house all of our benefit usage, benefit signup, payroll, hiring, pto, etc. on the platform. It has been so easy to use and incredibly intuitive. We used this platform to help us make our HR processes more streamlined as the company expanded. We acquired someone so we adopted new processes and Rippling was one of them.

Pros

Payroll
PTO Platform
Hiring module.

Cons

More customization
Less screens on the PTO platform.
Paystub projection

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for all HR platforms. I loved how it was simple to use and to learn. We did not receive any training on the platform and I picked it up easily. I wouldn’t however use it for strictly just one thing. It is something that works best the more integrated it is

The best payroll platform

January 2, 2026

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it for payroll as well as any expenses. It is an amazing product and out performs other platforms I have used in the past. I am able to easily upload receipts from my phone onto the site and the program is able to reconize the amounts as well as the area it is from (restaurants, certifications etc.)

Pros

little effort to use.
lots of staff assistance
will make reminders at end of month for time sheets

Cons

sometimes the site glitches
sometimes the receipt is not able to be read and puts the expense in wrong area
.

Likelihood to Recommend

Love the month end reminders.

Love the staff support if I have any issue.

I forgot to put in my time sheet and was reminded by email to put it in and still did not do it. Rippling notified my manager and then after a email from my manager I was able to get to putting in my timesheet and got paid on time.

Rippling is the Worthwhile All-in-One Tool Seamless People Management Reliable Payroll and Valuable Insights.

Rating: 10 out of 10

January 1, 2026

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Rippling is primarily used for personnel management and payroll processing across various countries. The organizational chart is a vital feature, especially as we grow rapidly and sometimes lose track of new faces. Having all employee information readily available is extremely beneficial in any situation, and the centralized document repository is an excellent resource.

Pros

Organization Chart
Signing management for Documents
PTO and leaves management
Payroll payment and distribution
Alerts for newcomers signing their initial documents.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

What I like most about Rippling is that it is an all-in-one tool for managing our personnel at Designli. It is easy to use and provides insightful information.My payments are always on time, payroll is easy to manage, and whenever I have encountered a problem, customer support has been there to assist me.It is worth every penny.Honestly, I don’t have any cons to mention with my regular usage.

Finally a tech-forward HRIS

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

January 1, 2026

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Rippling as our HRIS but it was a great fit for us because we have so many time-consuming manual tasks related to onboarding, credentialing, and schedule communication. We have used multiple systems but this is the first that is truly tech-forward and automating processes.

Pros

Automated workflows to ramp new hires
Rule based documents to minimize human error
Easy to navigate help menus with well-designed chat bots
good customer service when you do want to speak to a human

Cons

The fact that every feature seems to add cost has created a wariness around needing specific solutions
More of a customizeable dashboard for ELT with reports displayed as charts or generally a one stop for documentation
make PTO calendar sync customizeable to supergroups/teams rather than only managers directs/indirects
create a fields section for the business to fill out in offer letters so that we can simplify how many different documents we have
make email templates easier to duplicate

Likelihood to Recommend

Rippling is the best HRIS I've used in my career in terms of being tech-forward and automating manual tasks. I would recommend it to anyone who can afford it. I don't think I would recommend it to a smaller team because of the cost associated

Powerful automation platform for lean HR teams in growth mode

Rating: 10 out of 10

January 1, 2026

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are moving towards having Rippling 80% manage our People Ops (not utilizing the IT or the Spend, but other than that working to fully optimize all other modules in the next 24 months). This will establish Rippling as our source of truth and create automated processes to help our lean team save time on administrative tasks.

Pros

People Ops automated workflow
Benefits management without outside broker
Contractor management
Payroll

Cons

Library support
Chat bot support
missing auto notification to send cash requirement automatically when payroll runs

Likelihood to Recommend

The native platform with all the different modules you need for People Ops brings everything together.

Room for Growth - But Has a Bright Future

Rating: 8 out of 10

December 31, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I enjoy most that many functions in my role are all housed in the same platform. This includes payroll, HR, finance and file management operations. Each of these used to function separately in different platforms which would make management and keeping up with software updates difficult.

Pros

Consolidate business functions
Easy to manage permissions for each
Process contractors and employees in one payroll system

Cons

Periodically run into software bugs
More live trainings on new or complex features
Report building is not intuitive

Likelihood to Recommend

As the manager for multiple business functions (HR, Payroll, finance) it is useful for me to have it under one umbrella. If those systems were completely broken out by different departments and needed more customizable functions, it may be less of a perk.

We made the right choice with Rippling

December 30, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Rippling as our primary HR and Payroll platform and for IT device and security management. We are a small company that is scaling. Rippling allows us to scale and reduces the need for additional headcount. Further, the IT and device management functionality played a significant role in helping us achieve HiTrust and ISO 27001 certification.

Pros

Onboarding and exiting employees
Mobile device procurement and management
Employee review cycles
Payroll management

Cons

We have run into some challenges in receiving support on their Sentinel One integration. The Rippling team won't allow you to go directly to Sentinel One support. They require you to go through Rippling support, so it felt like they were playing man in the middle between us and the Sentinel One team.
We were considering moving from the Rippling ASO model to the Rippling PEO model, but the insurance carrier options were quite limited.

Likelihood to Recommend

For our company, Rippling has been a great experience. We are a small company with headcount in the U.S. We were looking for a platform that could help us scale while limiting the amount of headcount we needed to add in the HR, Finance, and IT functions. The Rippling integrations into our software landscape have been reliable, easy to use, and time saving.
