Overall Satisfaction with Rippling

We are using Rippling to manage HR, IT and Finance operations at a Global level. Rippling is very helpful when you have branches in different regions. It helps to keep track of our leaves, employee reviews, and important digital documents. It also helps to automate manual processes and has reduced a lot of manual work for our HR, IT and Finance teams. At a personal level, I loved the Rippling interface and it's very user-friendly for sure. My overall experience using Rippling for the past 2 years was amazing and hassle-free.

Pros

  • Hassle-free onboarding process
  • Centralized Employee Data Management
  • Built-in Compliance, which helps in payroll
  • Device & App Management
  • Intuitive User Interface

Cons

  • Reports and analytics are less customizable
  • Mobile is not so good compared to the desktop version
  • Workflow automation is helpful, but not so user-friendly
  • Slight delay in Customer Support response times
  • Positive: Automation has reduced manual work for onboarding, payroll, and benefits
  • Minimal payroll and tax filing errors
  • Hassle-free Onboarding and offboarding
  • Centralized employee data reduces dependency on offline tools
  • Negative: The setup process can be complex in case you are migrating from a different platform
  • Complex global payroll could be a little tricky, and you may need an additional platform, which will increase the cost.
  • Additional features or modules are chargeable
Earlier, we were using Homebase to handle scheduling and time tracking and greytHR for basic payroll and compliance work. We switched to Rippling, as by using this single tool, we could manage most of the HR & payroll workload (at least more than those 2). From onboarding new hires to managing payroll and other benefits, Rippling stood out.

Do you think Rippling delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did Rippling live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Rippling go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Rippling again?

Yes

When it comes to usability, Rippling has succeeded in most of the aspects. It quite user-friendly once you start utilizing the available features. As everything is available in one tool (Rippling) then we don't have to switch to different platform which made us more efficient. Overall the platform/tool is very useful and user-friendly.
Rippling is highly suitable for companies that consist of a remote work environment or distributed teams. It is beneficial for small to mid-sized businesses but not so suitable for companies with complex global payroll which require customization workflows or which has to follow different compliances.

If you have a small to mid-size company, then I would surely recommend giving Rippling a shot, and you won't regret it.
