"Onboarding made simple"
What do you like best about Rippling?

Rippling gives a small startup the powers of a big company when it comes to HR and onboarding new team members. After going through Rippling's simple organization setup and configuring your apps, it's completely hands off—the account creation, hardware configuration, etc. Plus, completely free payroll.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

So far, the experience has been awesome. One improvement that could be made is making apps easier to find. Rippling recently added categories, but a simple search would be useful too. Also, I know Rippling has integrations for timesheets, but I think having this built-in would be awesome, especially if it auto-filled hours for hourly employee payroll.

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

All the onboarding-related functions of a big company's HR department. - Payroll - Account creation / management - Offer letters and forms

"Awesomely Simple. "
What do you like best about Rippling?

I love how easy and simple HR and payroll is! Even without the automatic integrations, just having a payroll system for a small business that starts FREE can be a huge jumpstart for that side of managing the business.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Not all of the integrations are working for me yet, but, that's not really why I signed up for this. I do have some of them working, and those are awesome, but others like Slack for example doesn't seem to remove a user when we terminate them, so we go into slack and remove that one manually.

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

Payroll was something we avoided as long as possible as a small business because of the costs associated. With Rippling to start free until you have more employees is a godsend, I wish we had that years ago. Now there's really no reason not to have payroll done right for a small office staff.

"Great All-in-One Solution for Multi-Country Payroll, Spend Management, Device Management, EOR, etc."
What do you like best about Rippling?

Payroll and Spend Management is super easy and simple too. It is also quite cheap compared to most other providers and great support for international users as well. Everything is integrated directly with our Quickbooks Online as well.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Setup was a bit of a pain, there are some glitches on the website too where I had to reach out to our account executive to get resolved.

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

Rippling helped us with international Payroll and spend management. It directly syncs up with Quickbooks Online which made it really easy to use.

"Rippling is so simple to use"
What do you like best about Rippling?

Rippling is very user friendly. It is so easy to navigate the site and find all of the relevant information I need. I have used similar softwares at other organizations and I found them clunky and difficult to use. As a regular user, it makes accessing all of my information a breeze. SSO is so easy to use and I love having everything I need all in one place.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

I have nothing bad to say about Rippling

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

Rippling solves the problem of having too many softwares and consolidates everything in one easy to use package.

"Extremely disappointing experience in the UK"
What do you like best about Rippling?

Almost nothing has worked well for us with our UK implementation of Rippling. The product consistently throws error messages that support admits are bugs, and the support experience has been absolutely terrible. We have been repeatedly delayed in our payroll runs due to errors on the Rippling side. I had thought after the first incredibly painful payroll run we would be able to complete payroll easily going forward, but with awful support and recurring errors that seems not to be the case. In the UK I would strongly recommend against using Rippling

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Both the product and the support experiences have been absolutely terrible, by far the worst of the many SaaS products I use.

"Gets the job done; reports could be improved and enhanced."
What do you like best about Rippling?

I like the autorun feature; not all payroll SaaS providers have that. I also like its integration with QuickBooks Online and the resources it offers through Mineral.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

I do not like its Excel report downloads. They are .csv files that look disorganized with no formatting. This is especially disappointing when it comes to the payroll journal/register as I use that quite often for analytical purposes. I also do not like how it is not that easy to export the payroll journal entry to Excel. Lastly, the pay run has to be performed quite far in advance. Does not provide any time for last minute changes. Lastly, the billing invoices for things like Worker's Comp and even medical could be improved. The medical invoice changes upon download based on when things or billed.

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

Rippling allows us to run payroll on time and when needed. In addition, our auxiliary services such as BambooHR and Guideline 401k integrates well with Rippling.

"This interface has made onboarding candidates 100x easier than our previous server"
What do you like best about Rippling?

I enjoy Rippling's design and organization. Data and reports are much more accessible with up to date information. Transferring candidates has been much easier due to the system of approvals that works with us.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

I do not have any major complaints about rippling but there is a lag period in understanding how your newly imported candidates and employee information is transferred

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

Rippling software is MUCH faster than the previous ATS we were using. It has made onboarding applicants much simpler and efficient. Differnt admin members can keep the process updated.

"A User-Friendly Platform with a Modern Twist"
What do you like best about Rippling?

Rippling is a breeze to navigate! Its intuitive interface, feature set, and built-in customer support make the transition seamless and hassle-free. Highly recommend it for a stress-free experience.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Still very new, but so far it seems like there are no blaring problems. The customer support side is on the slow end and can be a bit of a run around directing you to contact someone else. This leads me to believe it is a bot and not a real person, but I have not played around with it too much to have a clearer picture.

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

Rippling solves several problems for employees, benefiting them from an employee perspective. Firstly, it centralizes HR tasks like benefits enrollment, and time-off requests, streamlining processes and reducing paperwork. Secondly, it offers self-service capabilities, empowering employees to update personal information, access pay stubs, and manage their own profiles. This saves time and promotes autonomy. Overall, Rippling's efficient HR management tools enhance employee experience by simplifying administrative tasks, promoting self-service, and improving accessibility.

It's super easy to navigate - which is most important to me.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

I haven't found anything specific I dislike about rippling. I would enjoy if it offered some employee mental health offerings (deals on headspace apps or motivational quotes - I think of gusto and how its easy to use but its also such a soothing and playful app. It makes me enjoy getting onto the app).

What do you like best about Rippling?

It's easy to navigate and find information!

What do you dislike about Rippling?

The collapsible menu items in the left menu took a little bit to get used to and the animations aren't really necessary, they slow down navigation. Also, the email field on the login page insists on the value not being a valid email until I finally finish typing the last few letters.

Rippling has quite a few integrations and their implementation/sales team was amazing to work with. They helped us migrate everything pretty seamlessly and their integration options are great.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

"Finally, HR the way it was intended to be"
What do you like best about Rippling?

HR has always been full of processes that should be wholly and easily automated. Rippling is finally the one-stop-shop for all HR automation. It's all online (as it should be) and incredibly user-friendly. It is BOTH Payroll and HR and is reasonably priced. We recently switched from the nightmare that we call ADP and currently couldn't be happier. Any minor issue we've run has inevitably been user error; with training and knowledge of the Software's capabilities, I'm confident this is the last and only HR/Payroll we will ever need. I have no doubt it will save at least two headcounts but, more importantly, improve the quality of life of HR/Payroll employees and make a better Payroll and HR experience for all of our employees.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

They will give you enough rope to hang yourself. This software requires a great deal of upfront investment from individuals who are comfortable using software and knowledgeable about payroll and HR. Once it is set up though, you can fully expect a high ROI. UPDATE: Unlike ADP and many other payroll providers Rippling has a LONGER requirement for submitting payroll. In a pinch, we could submit payroll the AM the business day before it was due with every other payroll provider we used. However with Rippling it is ALWAYS due TWO business days before it's paid. This has caused a lot of problems for us and our employees when Holidays create long weekends near a pay date.

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

Problems solved: Payroll Automation HR Automation Benefits Automation Employee Document Retention Onboarding Automation Offboarding Automation Off-cycle payroll availability Equipment tracking Software Tracking Password management HR and Payroll Approval Process automation Benefits realized: Reduced HR headcount Improve the efficiency of HR Fewer payroll and HR system discrepancies / issues

"Good customer service - easy to use"
What do you like best about Rippling?

Customer Service Chat Option - so easy to get a quick response and help in the moment instead of having to wait for an email response back.Honestly a game changer in making an HRIS easy to use for the HR team.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

When getting into the details - some things like leave type are confusing to create - there should be more language around how or when to do each type or how to set it up

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

We wanted to use the PEO option which would have really solved a ton of problems - however we weren't able to do so. Once we determined that we couldn't use that aspect - the Rippling team provided us with resources on where to go from there and how to tackle our existing challenge. The Rippling team alone is a great benefit and resource team to have. We are going to look into continuing and growing out the services we have with Rippling.
