Completely usable. I'm a very technologically savvy person, but most of the rest of the company are not. Our Operations team (while excellent) would not do well with something that requires a lot of programming know-how. Often products will be too technical for non-tech folks, or not technical enough for people who understand computers. Rippling threads that needle.

Rippling Rocks!

Rippling is easy to use. There are one or two hiccups in the application that prevent me from rating it a 10. This is mostly a few parts of the application where you can't go back or exit a page to correct a setting and instead have to complete the section then delete or re-enter the correct information from the beginning.

I have received no questions from employees about how to do a certain thing in Rippling. Also from the Admin perspective, no issues. It is very intuitive and easy to use. Once you get past implementation, there is not a lot of work to be done within the portal other than adding expense reimbursements and approving payroll.

Love Rippling!!!

Rippling is so user friendly. There are many features that, even though we are not currently enrolled in them, I am able to learn more about them just from our home page. Everything is all in one place, so I don't have to shop around for tools that would help our productivity and workflows.

The software is very easy to understand. I like the icons. I like the checklists. I like how easy and seamless it is to access company info and company policy. It is a powerful thing to put that at an employee's fingertips and I am a really big fan of how easy rippling makes it.
