Rippling works well as an HRIS. It comes with several integrations and allows you to manage various types of employee data in other tools while only working in Rippling. It can even provision and de-provision accounts and handle devices. It is also good for giving people across the company only the permissions they need. The UI isn't as intuitive as some other tools I've used, but their support articles are very detailed and can usually give you the answer you're looking for.

Nightmare to cancel

Score 1 out of 10
Vetted Review

In my opinion, Support when signing up and adding additional billable items is very strong. However, when our VC funding fell through and we needed to cancel, I've been given the runaround. They require contracts to lock you in to your maximum usage every month, not your variable usage. If you are unhappy with the service, in my experience, you cannot request to cancel the auto-renewal until 6 months into your contract. After waiting 6 months, I reached out to cancel my auto-renewal. I tried following the online documentation, but the Cancel Button was disabled from my account. I contacted sales who sent me to Support. Support said I had to talk to my dedicated CSM. I didn't have a dedicated CSM. It took a week for a dedicated CSM to respond. They then said I had to reach out to Support. It's now been 9 months of trying to cancel my auto-renewal, with, in my experience, each interaction involving a new condition, a new email address, a new form, or a new person. I've been totally unsuccessful in cancelling auto-renewal, and had to file a stop payment with my bank account. In my opinion and experience, you will end up paying for people no longer on your payroll throughout your contract, and cancelling is a hellish runaround.

Rippling shines in companies that prioritize streamlined HR operations and user-friendly experiences. It's ideal for:

Growing companies: Easily manage HR as teams expand.
Efficiency seekers: Automate tasks to save time and resources.
Simple HR needs: Focus on core functionalities without overwhelm.

Rippling might not be best for:
Highly complex HR: Unique processes may require specialized solutions.
Cloud-based hesitation: Some prefer traditional on-premises systems.
Large international workforce: Current focus is on the US.

PTO, Billing, Bank Statements and their Accessibility, and Overview of my Benefits. All of those are very easily accessible and user friendly in their approach.
Scenario was needing pay stubs and information when going through my divorce and all the information I needed was not only easily accessible, but easily available to send over to my attorney.

Ever since we started using Rippling all is so organized and i get to see all related to my work in one place. The only thing i do not like is how many times i have to update the app, maybe they are adding more features or improving , but it gets annoying how many times i have to update the app.

Rippling is a great HRIS platform that keeps adding more and more modules apps to the mix making it competitive amongst all other options out there. It allowed us to cut back on different systems and integrate most things into one portal like recruiting, learning management, performance management and engagement.

Rippling works really well because it manages all of our companies HR needs in the same place. In the past I have used similar softwares, but they don't do everything so you have to use more than one software. In this case I love that our employees can clock in /out, manage their payroll and benefits with only one login.

Great Onboarding schedule for New hires- one of the best I have used so far. I also like the new org chart visuals, makes it easy to follow and understand.

The Reporting customization is limited- I need a “transfer date” option or a better way to track employee suspensions like LOA, Medical leave, etc.

Rippling is highly effective for managing personal clock-in and clock-out times, as well as for requesting time off. It provides a convenient overview of remaining paid time off hours, streamlining the process compared to the previous method of emailing HR and waiting for a response. Now, I can independently handle all these tasks. Tracking my requests is straightforward, and the interface makes it easy to monitor everything. One aspect I find less favorable is that, when reviewing my team's hours, the platform displays the clock-in and clock-out times but lacks precision by not showing the exact minutes taken, which could be an improvement.

Rippling is particularly well-suited for organizations that prioritize seamless employee management processes. Another strong suit for Rippling is in managing employee benefits, including health insurance, retirement plans, and other perks. However, Rippling may be less appropriate for very small businesses or startups with minimal needs. The comprehensive nature of Rippling's features might be more than what is necessary for organizations with a limited number of employees.

It is a very helpful all in one tool to help keep track of the things that are sometimes overlooked. It's also extremely helpful to have access to your paystubs and W2's whenever you need it.

Rippling's workflows and recipes have completely revolutionized how we handle our People processes.Our onboarding and offer letter process has become very fluid and streamlined so that documents are signed and sorted in real-time and are easily retrievable for future reference.Have custom reports triggered to send out to the right people is also a game-changer, and I enjoy having custom reports that I can refer to and update in real-time whenever I need them. We love Rippling!

Helpful: Easy to navigate the automations/ workflows. I build these out weekly to notify team members of important actions/ events in an employees full-life cycle. Work anniversaries, new hires, reminders, etc.

Less Appropriate: Trying to find online tutorials on new features without having to email support@rippling

Rippling is well suited for the on-boarding process of a new employee. The platform works well for any size company and is very easy to navigate the modules. Many times, I would like to create an ad-hoc report pulling information that is available within the site but have difficulty pulling the data or is not easy to do.

The time and attendance function is very easy to use. Compared to other time accounting software I have experience with, it is the most user friendly and the lay out is simple. It's also easy to request time off; there are a few different ways I would like to view my data for my time off requests, but that is also very simple and straight forward to use.
