Overall Satisfaction with Rippling

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my role at my organization I use Rippling for keeping track of my time off and upcoming time off, keeping track of my pay, accessing health and retirement benefits, signing documents, and looking at corporate charts to see who reports to who and ensuring that information is accurate. I also use it for my flexible savings account.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Keeping track of and entering time off and watching time of approvals
Providing fast links to access accounts for health/retirement benefits
Extremely convenient access to see how much money is left in my flexible savings account and reordering a new card if I need one

Cons

Sometimes finding certain documents can be a challenge without a search bar that analyzes words within the document
It would be nice if I got notifications for new updates made by the company to my benefits (an employee left, a new benefit has change, my pay has changed, etc.)
That third party authorization through authy is a bit annoying to go through every time I log in, I would love to just login with my username and password and that's it

Return on Investment

As an individual contributor we have not used Rippling yet in terms of goal calculation and it would be nice to see where I'm at for my bonus payout
Many employees are very happy having Rippling compared to their other HR softwares at previous jobs which helps retention
Documentation that needs to be signed is much easier to track as opposed to tracking documentation through simple emails

Alternatives Considered

Workday Workforce Management and Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)

Rippling by far is the best against these other products due to its speed, ease of access, and efficiency. Kronos was severely outdated and the only thing it could really do is track punch in times. Workday is excessively bulky, unaesthetic, and slow to do anything and in addition finding necessary links to access benefits was confusing.

Likelihood to Recommend

Considering my past employers used Workday and Kronos, Rippling is miles ahead in terms of a friendly user interface and fast, easy access. For an environment like a fintech, Rippling is definitely the best one considering the need for a fast pace. I think Rippling would be less appropriate for a much older large company like a legacy bank that has built their entire HR systems already off of a different software. Making a transition for a company so large from Workday to Rippling would seem like a bit too much.
