Although even in the US their payroll was a mess - even now - months later - we are still trying to fix the problems THEY made for THEM! Horrible! Pros Nothing at all - worst tool to have existed in history! Please do yourselves a favor and consider ANYTHING but Rippling - RIP pling! Cons Rippling is extremely problematic and useless. The system creates issues unimaginable because it's set up in such an odd and illogical way. Everything breaks whenever you try to do anything. While workforce planning isn't so bad, everything else is absolutely horrible. We faced a lot of mistakes with payroll as well that we are still auditing, which has cost us countless hours and a lot of money to fix. Rippling was also supposed to help with IT, automation, and provisioning, but that doesn't work either. The setup wasn't easy, even though I wasn't directly involved.

Rippling will do a good job of remind you of deadlines and action items so you won't miss them but sometimes the constant reminder will annoy you. As an employee at my firm, Rippling has made it helpful for me to navigate a lot of employee tools such as benefits, payroll, hsa, and time off and for that, I appreciate and am a happier employee because of it. I used ADP in the past and I feel that Rippling is easier to navigate. Although Rippling can definitely improve on the "home" screen button, I did find ADP even harder to navigate and find tools. Rippling is definitely an improvement from ADP in terms of navigating from tool to tool within the portal. Pros Compared to ADP, I find Rippling in general - much easier to navigate. I like how organized my time off requests are kept track of in Rippling, I can easily see my past and current time off requests as well as see the balance that I have remaining. Rippling has been great for keeping track of my current paychecks and has a storage for past paychecks. Cons Sometimes, it is hard to find the "home button" when navigating to many different areas on Rippling, such as from moving to HSA to moving to payroll and then moving to time off requests which I have done many times, I often find myself at a lost to where the "home button" is. Sometimes, I find it easier to close out of my browser and log into Rippling again to save me time from navigating back to the home screen because I simply cannot find it. I also find it annoying that when we have to complete a performance review or complete our annual HSA and health benefit elections, that Rippling will email us every day multiple times a day until we complete this. The reminder is nice but needs to way less frequent. I don't like getting automatic emails twice a month reminding me I got paid today. I simply do not need this constant reminder and it also floods my inbox personally.

However, ongoing stability issues, slow resolution times for complex problems, and limited visibility into product changes make day-to-day operations more difficult than they should be. With improved platform reliability, clearer roadmap communication, and a stronger focus on quality over speed, Rippling could deliver much more consistently on its promise. Pros Rippling has a highly engaging and polished sales team that does a great job explaining the platform’s potential and capabilities. From a systems perspective, Rippling has also helped streamline key integrations, particularly between Rippling and Azure. This has meaningfully supported our IT teams in managing user access, provisioning, and deprovisioning more efficiently, reducing manual effort and improving overall control. Cons The biggest challenge has been platform stability across core modules. Features can break or change without notice, and fixes in one area often create downstream issues elsewhere. This creates operational friction and increases reliance on support and engineering escalation. There is also a noticeable gap between what is sold as available or “ready” functionality and what is consistently stable in practice. Stronger testing, clearer communication around changes, and more realistic positioning of product maturity would significantly improve the experience.

Rippling is modern, easy to use, and significantly reduces administrative work for both HR and employees. The implementation process was well managed, and the platform has performed exactly as expected since go live. We would absolutely recommend Rippling to other organizations. Pros Rippling delivers excellent value for the cost. Payroll, timekeeping, PTO, and employee management all work together in one clean platform. Payroll runs are fast and reliable, onboarding new employees is simple, and employees can manage their own personal and direct deposit information without HR involvement. The implementation and support teams were responsive, knowledgeable, and made the transition from Paychex smooth. Cons There is a learning curve when first getting familiar with all the features, but it is well worth it given the efficiency gains. Alternatives considered [Gusto](https://www.capterra.com/p/131882/Gusto/)[BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/)[EarnHCM](https://www.capterra.com/p/10029769/EarnHCM/)[Paycor](https://www.capterra.com/p/133745/Paycor-Perform/) Reason for choosing Rippling Rippling's solution shined when it came to overall ease of use and implementation of a highly complex platform such as payroll, timekeeping and HCM. Additionally, its ability to create complex reports as well as define custom workflows based on variables within the system sold us on their solution. Switched from [Paychex](https://www.capterra.com/p/119841/Paychex-Flex/) We were frustrated with the pricing model at Paychex. And the way they acquire products and then smash them into their product offering vs. developing an integrated solution from scratch. Rippling was developed in-house from the ground up, and it's clear that each piece of the application was designed to work with the next part. There was difference UI elements for different sections of the solution, and eases the learning for administrators and employees alike. Review Source AH Andres H.

Rippling helps me receive my salary and reimbursements quickly. It is very easy to navigate and not confusing at all. I use it for everything: checking my payments, requesting time off, and managing my team. It is a great tool for people working internationally. Pros I like that payments arrive on time and very quickly. It is excellent for international payments because I can receive money in dollars and Colombian pesos without problems. The interface is very easy to use on my phone and computer. Also, requesting expense reimbursements is fast and simple. Cons I don't receive emails when my vacation days are approved; I have to check the app manually, but there is probably a configuration that I have disabled to mute all notifications. Also, when the company rehired me, a new account was created. This caused me to lose the configuration for my dollar account in Panama, and I had to contact support to fix it, because the only available country was Colombia. Additionally, the integration with Google Calendar generates an event when time off is approved; however, it is not an Out of Office event, so it doesn't automatically decline meetings, and the unavailable icon won't appear in Slack, so I have to manually create the Out of Office event. Switched from [Pilot](https://www.capterra.com/p/186313/Pilot/) I don't know if I picked the right Pilot, because as far as I know, it was renamed to Plane. I think the company did the switch because Rippling has more features, especially for onboarding and employee management. Review Source SF Sara F. Vendor Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Streamlined HR and Payroll Management" February 6, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Rippling was positive and productive. It offered strong functionality across HR, payroll, and compliance, which helped reduce manual work and improve accuracy. While it required some time to learn due to its robust features, it ultimately became an efficient and dependable system. Pros I liked how Rippling centralizes HR, payroll, benefits, and IT into one platform, making it easy to manage everything in one place. The automation and integrations helped streamline onboarding, offboarding, and employee management, which saved time and reduced errors. Cons While Rippling is very powerful, the wide range of features can make navigation feel overwhelming initially. Some processes required extra steps, and support response times could vary depending on the request. Switched from [Deel](https://www.capterra.com/p/205015/Deel/) We made the switch from Deel to Rippling to consolidate HR, payroll, and workforce management into a single platform. Rippling offered stronger automation, reporting, and better integration across systems, which helped streamline operations as the team grew. Review Source DB Delicia B.

From implementation to now we have loved our experience with the team and the product. It has topped the HRIS we had previously by 1000 times. We look forward to what new features Rippling will continue to put out as it advances and grows. Pros Rippling is a fantastic system. I run a lot of reports and love the reporting system Overall is a very robust user friendly system with great features. I love the chat feature and the facts its real time and you can request to speak with a live agent if need and they reply very quickly. Running payroll has been very easy as well and it tracks retro pay and missed payments with ease. Cons It can be time consuming getting everything set up to work for your organization but once it is set up it does all the work for you. Alternatives considered [BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) Reason for choosing Rippling Rippling offered more that we are considering purchasing down the line.

Rippling has saved us a ton of time and made the boring parts of HR and payroll way more manageable. It's reliable, the team behind it actually listens, and updates roll out regularly. I feel like we made the right call switching to it, and I'd recommend it to anyone tired of juggling multiple tools to keep their team running smoothly. Pros Honestly, what I love most about Rippling is how it just makes life easier. Before, we were jumping between different tools for payroll, HR, and expenses, and it was a mess. With Rippling, everything lives in one place, and that alone has been a game changer for us. The platform is really easy to figure out. I'm not super techy, but I was running payroll on my own after just a couple of tries. And the fact that it handles taxes automatically takes a huge weight off my shoulders. Onboarding new hires used to be a headache, but now it's actually pretty quick and even kind of satisfying. Everything from their accounts to their benefits gets set up without me having to chase people around. Also, whenever I've had a question, support has been there and actually helpful, which you don't always get these days. For what it costs, I really feel like we're getting our money's worth. Cons If I had to point something out, I'd say the platform has so many features that it can feel a bit overwhelming at first. There's a small learning curve, and figuring out where everything is takes some time. Also, some of the more advanced add-ons come at an extra cost, which can add up depending on what you need. Honestly though, once you get the hang of it, none of this is a deal breaker. Review Source JH Jasmine H. HR Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable tool with wonderful support team!" January 25, 2026 5.0 Reliable, with minor glitches, but with outstanding support team that is responsive and helpful in most of the time! Overall, I do like working with them and their tool. I believe they do have improvements to make for their Canadian customers, but I also know that they are working and improving all the time. One suggestion - they really need to send out announcements before their product updates, which currently I do nto believe is happening. There have been a couple of times that their improvements have affected certain areas that they were not improving, by making those glitch (as software sometimes does), but again they have been wonderful helping fix those, so I still think they are worth the $. Pros Reliable, with minor glitches, but with outstanding support team that is responsive and helpful in most of the time! The Spend management module has made a real difference in employee reimbursement for us. It saves time for me not to chase others for receipt uploads, makes the approval workflow easy and quick. Minor UI inconveniences, I would love to have the ability to sort the existing records by my preferred fields, this will need to be improved. Cons specifically for Spend management I think UI needs improvement. The filters are not flexible. I would much prefer to be able to filter by (paid / unpaid), or date and name - the only way you can currently sort by name keeps popping you to all expenses screen after each receipt view, this is time consuming and a bit annoying especially if you have too many expenses and employees to go through... I hope this is on their roadmap to be made more flexible.

Pros Rippling is a user friendly platform for employees. The support from the implementation team to get the product up and running, walking us through it helped with the overall successful launch. Many things on the payroll side of things were able to be automated such as benefits which lessened the manual work. Cons There is nothing I could add here.

The platform is intuitive, efficient, and helps simplify HR, payroll, and employee management in one centralized system.

Provider Contract Specialist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Powerful Operating System for Work—with a Learning Curve" February 5, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Rippling was very positive, with a few real-world trade-offs. On the upside, Rippling genuinely delivers on its promise of being an all-in-one system for people operations. Having HR, payroll, benefits, and IT access tied together in one platform made onboarding, role changes, and offboarding feel seamless instead of fragmented. It reduced manual work and eliminated a lot of coordination headaches that usually live between teams. When everything was set up correctly, it felt incredibly powerful and efficient. Pros Onboarding/offboarding isn’t just paperwork—it’s accounts, permissions, payroll, devices, compliance. Rippling automates the real operational pain points, not just the surface-level stuff. Cons Steep learning curve Because Rippling does so much, it can feel overwhelming at first—especially for smaller teams or new admins. Power comes at the cost of simplicity.

As a user, it’s convenient to have things like pay stubs, benefits, and personal information all in one place. Most tasks are quick and easy to complete, which makes handling work-related admin simple. While there are a few areas that could be clearer to navigate, the platform generally works well and makes everyday tasks more convenient.

Things like viewing my pay stubs, managing benefits, or updating my information are all in one place and really simple to access. The interface is clean and straightforward, so I don’t have to spend time figuring out where things are. It just makes handling work-related admin stuff quick and hassle-free. Cons What I like least about Rippling as a user is that some parts of the platform can be a little confusing to navigate at first. Certain features aren’t always where I expect them to be, so it can take a bit of time to find what I’m looking for.

Sr. People Support Specialist Wine and Spirits Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "4 out of 5 start for Rippling: Pros outweigh the cons" January 9, 2026 4.0 Overall this is a great product. We're a smaller company and Rippling has a lot of features that would be amazing for large organizations - we're just not big enough to need them or find value in them, but it's still great for a company of our size (~50 employees/contractors). We moved from TriNet/Zenefits becuase they were completely changing their service structure and increasing our cost considerably. As the main admin using our HRIS systems, Rippling is by far a superior product and was less expensive than staying with TriNet. Pros Payroll: it shows exactly what has changed for each individual from cycle to cycle, so I can easily flag any issues Reviews: Very easy to set up and to customize, and able to set different due dates for different aspects of the review process (and set different forward facing and internal due dates) Spend/Finance: Can't say enough about how nice it is to manage our credit cards, expenses, and reimbursements all from our HR platform. It's one of their newer offerings so there are improvements that could be made, but it's still a huge step up for us from how we were managing these, from both the admin side and employee user experience. Cons The main issue we've encountered is in the Benefits module, and that we're not able to fully configure our medical insurance company contributions in the way that we want to. We've opted for a bandaid fix for now, which means that some employees' information is incorrect, and are really hoping that they make product changes before our next Open Enrollment cycle at the end of the year. Due to the contributions issue, I have to manually update payroll deductions. This hasn't been quite as smooth as it should be, and there have been some challenges getting the Benefits deductions area to correctly sync with Payroll. We've opted not to connect our company email with Rippling, and because we're not using that feature, it's not allowing us to enter work email addresses at all in individuals' profiles. It's not a huge issue, but is inconvenient. Our implementation manager said that there should be a way to fix this, but our account manager wasn't able to provide much guidance so I haven't looked into it further.

Teller Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great HR software but pricey" January 1, 2026 5.0 Overall, it is expensive however, it takes care/consolidates of a lot of tasks needed in HR. Setup did take time however the process was smooth after setup. The interface is very user-friendly and the automation tools helped ensure fast and live updates to features. Also there are a lot of potential to expand it to IT or Finance, if needed. Pros I like how with Rippling almost all the information you need is accessible in on e place. Things like pay stubs, tax documents, benefits, and other personal information is easy to find, which makes managing all tasks HR-related much more convenient. You can find things like your upcoming work schedule, payroll, PTO and also have the ability to submit requests directly on there. Cons Although I am not on the HR part of rippling so I do not understand the full perspectives of those that are on it. Still, there are a lot of features that are gated by other features so Rippling does try to make you buy more than you need, like the headcount feature. Also it is buggy, even for a relativity small company that used it whenever I worked for them. Review Source SG Shania G.

While the initial setup for specific payroll configurations took some effort, the automation it provides for onboarding and employee management is unmatched by other platforms we've used As you add more modules (IT, HR, Device Management), the per-user monthly cost adds up quickly, which might be steep for very small startups. Pros The best part is having IT, HR, and Payroll in a single dashboard. It eliminates the need for multiple logins and manual data entry across different platforms. Tax filings and direct deposits have been 100% accurate and on time since we switched. Cons Generally very stable, though I’ve encountered minor UI glitches during bulk employee updates During peak times (like year-end filing), the response time from support can be slower than expected for a premium-priced product Review Source JP James P.

My complaints are mostly cosmetic and I have learned how to user the user interface, but I would personally design it differently - I work in design. Pros The thing I like most about Rippling is that it has allowed me to unify my HR tooling and services to a single vendor that solves problems for me from international hiring and onboarding to benefits and payroll. Cons The user interface and user experience could be improved and made more attractive. The UI and UX can sometimes be counter intuitive and confusing. Probably because they have so many features and products.

It consolidates employee data via the Enterprise Graph and automates tasks with Workflow Studio, improving efficiency. Pros I like how Rippling functions as a Horizontal Platform at medium and large enterprises, especially as their 'Unified Workforce Operating' System for HR, IT, Finance, and other functions. I appreciate the Enterprise Graph, which serves as a consolidated snapshot of employee data across the enterprise. It's also a robust knowledge repository that feeds into the Workflow Studio product for the automation of manual tasks across the enterprise. I've found that Rippling offers a simple yet intuitive user experience. Cons A few areas of improvement: Pricing across the board, Support experience for onboarding and ongoing maintenance, Enhanced Mobile app feature set, and finally, re-imaging the Reporting module and capabilities.

Data Architect Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A breath of fresh air" April 9, 2026 5.0 It's just been a breath of fresh air, other payroll and time management systems have been a pain to set up, a pain to manage, and a pain to get paid. It was never easy to use, nor was it ever easy to see why I got paid a certain amount. I have never experienced that with rippling. It's brain-dead easy, and simple to use. Pros I love that you can edit timesheets on our own, and then it can go to the manager to approve. When I used Intuit's solution before, it \*always\* required my manager to fix it, and when I am as forgetful as I am, it became painful quite quickly. I never really experienced bugs as I had with other systems. Cons I think the biggest thing would just be the sign in process. There's no option for 2fa options beyond text or email. Passkeys are great, 2fa codes are fine, it'd be good when it's your paycheck on the line if the interface was more secure. SSO would also be nice.
