"So far so good"
What do you like best about Rippling?

I have not ran into many, if any, issues when utilizing Rippling. I like the easy to identify tabs and the reminders that the site sends you if you have a task that needs to be completed!

What do you dislike about Rippling?

I would like to be able to utilize Rippling for timesheet entries. Currently our company uses a different site just to enter time. I would like to see that condensed to one site, such as Rippling.

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

They are solving the problem of having everything in one place. The site is easy and convenient, everything in one spot, right at your fingertips!

"Rippling makes HR tasks simpler"
What do you like best about Rippling?

I love the way Rippling simplifies payroll and benefits. It keeps everything in one place, which saves me time when I need to get information on my employees quickly. Plus, the automated parts make things even easier for me. I have to do less work, but the accuracy has not changed.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

The integration with Salesforce can be improved. For example, it would help if synchronizing data was easier and took less time.

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

Rippling saves me time and allows me to focus on what I want to accomplish. This is because Rippling manages employee data, streamlines onboarding and offboarding processes, and eliminates cumbersome tasks like filling out paperwork or manually entering information into our HR systems.

"Excellent Payroll / HR Software"
What do you like best about Rippling?

They've thought of all the next steps. As a startup, it's awesome that I don't need to spend hours doing research on what's next. They've thought through everything, from payroll (of course) and insurance to contracts and onboarding (or offboarding) employees.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Once in a blue moon, there are bugs - like with any software. But their team has been awesome about helping me resolve issues, so I'm really not concerned about this.

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

As a startup, we needed a way to efficiently manage our payroll without having to learn the ins/outs of HR. Rippling did that for us, and also provided a way for us to offer insurance to our team - again, something we would've had to figure out on our own.

"Enjoyable Workforce Management Platform"
What do you like best about Rippling?

What I like best about Rippling is it is really easy to navigate. The sidebar shows me the various options I have to select. The home page shows the single sign-on information and personal apps.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

What I dislike about Rippling is that the sidebar options must be expanded to view. For example, it shows me Tools but I can't see what falls under that category unless I expand it. It would be nice to just show it underneath without an additional click.

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

Rippling makes it easy to view my paystub information and access information to my benefits. I enjoy the email notifications notifying me when it's payday, they make it a joyous occasion and the email looks fun with the pictures.

"Phenomenal resource for startups"
What do you like best about Rippling?

I love how easy it is to run payroll and manage employee wages/benefits. It makes administrative work a lot more convenient. I assume the same will be true of taxes as well.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Some of the pay run settings seem to be a bit difficult to use or buggy. For instance, some of my contractors and employees were incorrectly paid after their contract was terminated. Not sure how to get that money back.

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

It helps solve the burden of filing taxes for new employees and streamlining the whole onboarding and offboarding process in a very convenient way. We love it.

"Rippling Review"
What do you like best about Rippling?

It's user interface. It's clean and pleasing to the eye. It is straightforward, and navigation is easier cause all sections are properly labeled and easy to find.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Some categories are not included in the dropdown options or apps. Like for example, if you want to view an event history for a specific individual, you can only see the changes made by the HR team and not by the individual.

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

Employee management and information search. It is easier for me to search for information in rippling. Also, their help support is very easy to use. There are always available supports for you to chat with whenever you have a question.

"Rippling is a dream to use!"
What do you like best about Rippling?

It streamlines to many things that help relieve the stress of getting someone paid. All of my employees and contractors who use it find no issue in getting set up and getting paid. Highly recommend!

What do you dislike about Rippling?

I don't like that they charge for every single new module or service. Also wish they had phone support instead of just email/chat.

"It's great, easy, and user friendly"
What do you like best about Rippling?

I can access it from my phone, it is easy to navigate, and it is not too clunky, or overwhelming. I am familiar with it from previous jobs, but I like how each company can customize it the way they see fit.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

I don't love two-factor authorization every day, but that is understandable. Other than that, I don't think I have any complaints. Would just be nice to remain signed in longer.

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

It allows me to clock in and out. I can also adjust my times if needed. I can request Paid time off. I can also submit my benefit elections from rippling as well!

Rippling makes it extremely easy to access important documents and resources in its one-stop-shop platform - from seeing my paystubs to reviewing my insurance plan, to submitting PTO. The website and app are both simple to navigate.

Noticed some apps take a bit of time to update/information is not always the most up-to-date.

"I have enjoyed using Rippling."
What do you like best about Rippling?

First, the navigation and dashboard make it easy for you to find what you want. Information on Rippling is presented clearly and in an interesting way, not just a simple table, but also includes images.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

The one area that I would like to see improvement is logging into Rippling. I frequently have to use an Authenticator app to login after just a few minutes of inactivity.

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

Using Rippling as an employee it is easy to see my personal information and I can do personal tasks fairly easily like enrolling in benefits and requesting time off. For my own tasks, I use the reporting feature the most for new hires.

"Flexible and user friendly"
What do you like best about Rippling?

When my company adopted Rippling, I thought it was just another HR management system. I was surprised to learn it could also be used for device management and SSO. Features I personally find useful include: * A Chrome extension that allows me to see birthdays, new hires, and vacations at a glance. * SSO for our most commonly used systems. * A simple way to request and manage time off for my team * Quick access to all of our benefit info There's way more to Rippling than the features highlighted above. Worth checking out!

What do you dislike about Rippling?

No real downsides I can think of. Rippling has been great so far!

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

I'm neither a system nor HR administrator, but from what I've observed, Rippling has been a great "one-package" solution for people, systems, and device management, and it has scaled well as our company has grown.

"Nice tool for management"
What do you like best about Rippling?

I can request time off as an employee and approve and reject as a manager. My computer is also connected to Rippling to accomplish security standards that the company needs to get certifications and clients.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

I don't see the work anniversary and birthdays of all my direct reports, only one, which seems weird to me because I guess all of us fill in the data while registering at Rippling. Why the work anniversary should be hidden?

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

1. Time-off requests: The platform is easy to use to request time off from my boss. 2. Time-off approval: I can see how many hours my direct reports have taken and how much they plan to take soon. 3. Device management: My laptop is logged in in Rippling for better compliance with security standards required by clients.

I love how my employer can customize the insurance enrolment process based on available plans. I could easily compare my current plan to the new plans offered, which made enrolling enjoyable.

"Easy navigation and user friendly experience"
What do you like best about Rippling?

The menu bar is very well designed, it’s clear and concise and I love the bulk expandable & collapsable options. I also enjoy the interface, it’s intuitive & straightforward.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Often times information can take much longer to load up than on other platforms - it works a bit slower even with good internet speed. It will also be very helpful to be able to download the Org chart diagram in an image format.

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

The tool increases visibility to a lot of things that are important for an employee. It’s a one-stop-shop solution for all people management features necessary. Also being able to add reimbursements directly to the payroll is a good feature.

"Clean, fast UI"
What do you like best about Rippling?

I really like Rippling's UI. It is clean and fast, and I can access it on different platforms. It doesn't matter if I open it on my phone or a browser, I can get to what I want and accomplish my tasks quickly. I also like the reminders about birthdays and anniversaries, and that I can find information about my reports, payroll, etc.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Only downside is that I have to log in with my personal email address instead of the work email address.

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

I have used other employee management software in the past, and it has always seemed tedious, or it seems like the software was built many years ago. Rippling makes it really easy to use, it feels really up to date and current, and more like a consumer product than an enterprise product which is good. It helps me find what I need without having to email our HR partner.
