I use Rippling to onboard and offboard clients I also process payroll and benefit management. I am going to also start using it for our talent management.

  • Device Management
  • I would like more assistance in setting up more pieces of onboarding and offboarding
  • I would also like to have more assistance with templates and have more help creating them for use.
Rippling has cut down my onboarding a new employee by about an hour and half per employee. I have a place to store all pertinent information per user and know that they are responsible for updating their information and I do not have to. Offboarding is the same as well, the time saved is incredible compared to what I was using previously.

  • Saving time with every aspect of what we use Rippling for
  • Document management and knowing that it is all up to date
  • Compliance with new hire and terminated employees is great
Never used
Having the ability to use Rippling on my laptop, but have pertinent information on an app on my personal cell phone is a great feature. There has not been an employee at our firm that has had issues onboarding or utilizing Rippling for their payroll and benefits management. It is a great product with many options.

It has been a huge timesaver for me.

I replaced using QuickBooks online for payroll when I switched to Rippling. I also plan on replacing Trainual in the future.
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
Having Rippling on onboard and offboard other programs instead of me having to log into each one has been a tremendous help.
Wouldn't change a thing.

I use Rippling to elect benefits, manage my absences, find colleagues at my company - essentially all things Human Resources, and more. It solves the business problem by being the go-to resource for all things 'people'. Rippling provides remote IT onboarding solutions and benefits as well. I appreciate the fact that there is a singular solution, and that one doesn't have to toggle to other tools, to manage all things HR!
  • Simple UX
  • Easy to navigate
  • Lots of features
  • Better design of paychecks
  • Show list of apps employers provide
It is well suited for onboarding new employees and managing them effectively. It is good for being the go-to resource for all things internal - employee directly, benefits enrollment, requesting office applications

It is less appropriate for scenarios where you manage 401k tools or manage wellness/vaccination programs for employees

  • Managing a growing roster of employees at scale
  • Managing employee requests for office applications
  • Monitoring IT devices for all employees
Rippling has a much better UX, easy to navigate, and overall modern feel to it. I like that they offer multiple services - IT devices, office applications in addition to your traditional HR tools. This gives employers a chance to consolidate many services into one platform. For users, the intuitive and modern interface makes for an enjoyable experience that leaves users wanting to come back to the platform more
The good experience thus far, is heavily influenced by the ease and intuitive nature of the platform. There is no tool that is perfect and hence it has got a 8/10 rating. Occasionally, there can be a delay while navigating between different views on Rippling. This only happens a handful of times and is not a persistent problem
Easy interface to navigate - one does not need significant time to play around on the platform to determine what to do. In particular, I appreciate how there are 'less clicks' needed to toggle between different views on the platform. One needs to only hover over the global menu page and then select the option. Small things like this help promote a seamless experience

We use Rippling for our time off requests, payroll, insurance, benefits, and as a way to communicate as a company about changes and updates. Rippling has helped us organize all corporate and personal forms needed and it provides a comprehensive and easy-to-read PTO calendar. It also provides reminders to employees when there are "housekeeping" items you need to complete which is helpful! It helps us stay organized as a company with very little personal effort!
  • User interface is excellent
  • Clear "to-do" list
  • Provides reminders when there are items we need to complete.
  • I wish the process for requesting a half day or just a few hours off on a day was easier. Right now it easy to accidentally request the incorrect half of the day off.
Rippling is awesome for employee benefits and insurance items. It has a great interface which makes it easy to locate the information you need. PTO for the most part is easy to request but I have had trouble requesting a partial day or a certain amount of hours instead of the whole day.

  • It has greatly helped with getting employee forms returned in a timely manner
  • It has helped keep track of employees that are PTO
  • There needs to be more opportunity for employee recognition
Rippling is far superior! There are more features and the interface is much easier to use.
I haven't had to use directly but our tech team has and problems are solved within moments.
It is extremely easy to use and everything is labeled clearly.

I can't remember the name of the old one but I know I like Rippling better!
