Sometimes when I'm using Rippling, I'll get logged out when I open links in new tabs.

"Easy to navigate to different areas with the Personal Apps. Completing benefits was easy"
What do you like best about Rippling?

When using Rippling, the first part I enjoy is all the Personal apps to get to different areas faster and very user-friendly. All of your work info is in one easy spot to navigate. Completing my benefits was easy to follow and navigate through the system.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

One of the areas that I dislike about Rippling is I feel when you have to edit your time as you forgot to clock out or back in takes more time than it should and is not as easy of a process as it could be. Too many steps vs just being able to do it right where the time is.

What problems is Rippling solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rippling makes it easy to change my tax withholdings/dependents. I also enjoy the pay history and how easy it is to locate paystubs for review in my personal apps section.!

"Best Employee Benefits/Payroll site I've ever used."
What do you like best about Rippling?

I've used a lot of Benefits/Payroll sites over the years, and the one thing they had in common was they were non-intuitive and difficult to navigate. Not true of Rippling. It's easy to find what you need, information is presented clearly, and everything is right where you need it. The annual benefits enrollment process I just used has to be the best experience I've ever had.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

I know that big text, big boxes, and lots of wide open space are in vogue right now in the website UI experience, but I prefer a tighter presentation when I'm on the desktop version of a website.

What problems is Rippling solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rippling is helping my company deliver its employees a high-quality Benefits Administration and Payroll experience. This makes my life much easier because I don't need to spend extra time figuring out how to do something or ask HR for help.

"Easy to use and manage employer benefits, time-off, and more."
What do you like best about Rippling?

I love the interface and how easy it is to find what you are looking for. Everything is laid out in a format that looks similar to you looking through your phone apps. The entire process is streamlined whether it is signing up for employer benefits, submitting time off requests, managing your work devices, checking your pay information. I needed a new laptop device from my current employer and that only took a few minutes to get that info submitted and the laptop arrived a few days later. Using Rippling is very intuitive.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

My only real complaint might not even be a fault of Rippling, but sometimes I have experienced a disconnect between my 2FA app and Rippling and it took a few tries to finally get through. Other than that I don't have any complaints. It seems that the Rippling team is constantly updating the app/platform to constantly improve.

What problems is Rippling solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rippling makes it so easy to find any information related to my employer. I am able to quickly find my benefits information, pay information, etc. It is easy to update personal information such as addresses, phone numbers, my payment/banking information, and even information the company may want like t-shirt size.

"With the ease of all my HR needs at my finger tips Rippling is a 5 star application."
What do you like best about Rippling?

I like that everything I need is on one page. I can find my insurance, payroll, time off, and can even see all of my most view websites and login with the click of a button.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Sometimes when I'm logged in on the main page it doesn't know I am when I open a new tab. Not an issue at all, but I do have to login often it seems.

What problems is Rippling solving and how is that benefiting you?

In previous companies I've worked I've had to navigate through a bunch of different systems to see all of the things rippling provides, so that is a massive plus in my book.

It's incredibly easy to administer and incredibly easy for employees to use. They. have a feature that allows prospective employees to see our specific benefits options, as well as their costs.

Switching vendors is never simple, but the integration team and the software itself make it as easy as possible.

What do you like best about Rippling?

I like that rippling is straightforward, and there aren't a lot of options. The experience is streamlined and puts the goal of Rippling front and center

What do you dislike about Rippling?

I wish the navigation buttons weren't so far down on the page. There is a lot of white space as well.

"If you get it right, Rippling is amazing"
What do you like best about Rippling?

Once you have the data layer clean and learn the tools at your disposal, it's pretty incredible how much you can automate. It's also insane how many apps it connects to and the control you can have over them from Rippling. Would highly recommend and can't wait to see the benefits of this as we scale.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

I'd say the pricing of some of their products seem a bit out of whack. Some of the products you feel like you're stealing and some you are left wondering why you have to pay on a PEPM plan for to get access.

What problems is Rippling solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having Rippling as a single source of truth is life saving. The benefit this provides is numerous, especially with how rippling is set up - to allow you to use that source of truth to be really granular with what permissions and policies apply to who. We can set up rules for what department gets access to what and the only time we have to change these rules is when the underlying structure of our company changes. With some intelligent design however, you can set it and almost forget it as you hire, fire, and transition people.

"Fluidity is Key"
What do you like best about Rippling?

The fluidity of the experience was overall great. Very helpful when I had questions regarding the different types of plans there are for medical, dental, and vision. I feel confident about my benefits and am very satisfied that it was informative.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

I would like a better GUI for comparing different plans. Once I picked my two best options I would like there to be an interactive interface where I can better compare the different fields and perhaps color code them green for better and red for worse!

What problems is Rippling solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rippling is an app that allows me to pick and choose my benefits and have better access to them via online/app. So at the tip of my fingers, I can be sure what exact benefits I have and how much I'm paying out of pocket. It's great for seeing what needs to be done on the HR and company policy side of things.

"Ease of use brings me to Rippling first everytime."
What do you like best about Rippling?

I most often find myself clicking into Rippling specifically to look at our Org Chart. Easy to search and find who I need. Also as the guy in the office who orders swag, I love being able to find everyone's shirt size!

What do you dislike about Rippling?

I definitely prefer using Rippling on desktop as opposed to mobile. So I guess that would be my biggest dislike. On mobile it's harder to tell which menus or options you're looking at.

What problems is Rippling solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work at a very quickly growing company that recently went public. As we bring in new department heads and people move around or get promoted, it's super helpful to see who reports to who.

"Great experience"
What do you like best about Rippling?

I like how easy it is to view insurance information as well as view HR information, such as viewing the schedule for time off and having the ability to submit requests for time off directly on the site. I appreciate the ease of viewing the org chart. Overally I find it very user-friendly.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

There are some pages on the site that are not used, such as Learning Management where there are no active courses. I am not sure how to best utilize features of Rippling such as this one.

What problems is Rippling solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rippling is solving the problem of needing to glean important HR and insurance information from different sources, including from HR staff themselves. Rippling conveniently stores the relevant information in one place which makes the information that employees need highly accessible.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Everyone once in a while, it takes me a sec to find exactly what I'm looking for in the view I want, But I always find it eventually.

The ability for an Employer to move from PEO back to payroll only is a big deal. Most other PEOs have all sorts of barriers to this.

"Clear and direct benefits management tool"
What do you like best about Rippling?

I enjoyed how clean and clear everything was. The descriptions were obvious and the user interface was also easy to navigate. Modern and updated and was such a fresh comparison to other tools I've used in the past.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

The software was a little slow at first and the "submit" button could have been a different color as it was hard to tell if it was selected or not. They could make the UX a little more vibrant with some other colors.

What problems is Rippling solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems solved were comparing my current plan with the new one and also showing which was the most comparable. I also enjoyed the extended bullets, like saving $2.00 by switching to electronic statements.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

"Great experience! Intuitive UI makes the entire onboarding process really smooth."
What do you like best about Rippling?

I like the responsiveness of the website, the intuitive UI, and how relevant information is given so we can make decisions on hard decisions, e.g. life insurance, and health insurance. The ability to make comparisons between different plans makes it easier for us to make hard decisions.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

There's not much missing from the current service. Perhaps if we had some statistics on how different plans are being offered or more information on potential scenarios where plans would kick in, that would be great.
