"A Game-Changer: User-Friendly HR, Payroll, and IT All in One"
What do you like best about Rippling?

Rippling has been a game changer for our team. What I love most about it is how user-friendly it is the interface is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate, even for non-tech-savvy users. On top of that, having HR, payroll, and IT all in one place is a huge time-saver. No more juggling multiple tools or platforms everything you need is right there in a single dashboard.

The onboarding process is smooth, payroll runs like clockwork, and the automation features significantly reduce manual work. It's clear that Rippling was built with the end user in mind.

Overall, I highly recommend Rippling to any business looking to streamline their HR operations. It's one of those tools that once you start using it, you wonder how you ever managed without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

While Rippling is an excellent platform overall, there are a couple of areas that could be improved. The pricing can be on the higher side, especially for smaller businesses or startups working with tighter budgets. Additionally, there is a slight learning curve when first getting started it takes some time to explore and fully understand all the features the platform has to offer. That said, once you get the hang of it, the experience is very smooth and worth the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User Friendly & Aesthetically Pleasing to Use"
What do you like best about Rippling?

What I like BEst about Rippling is how easy it is to navigate, compared to previous employers, this app feels like it was desinged for employees and not the employer, meaning its makes it easy for us to track our hours, submit tickets to our Boss if any discrepancies with our time mangement, and also made it easy to accsess and change my banking info. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

So far, the only thing that i dislike about rippling is nothing to do with the app, but rather when the team is logging in at the same time to clock out, like if 5-10 of us use it, then it's laggy or crashes out, but that may be due to the internet, not the app itself.

"Great product, siloed implementation"
What do you like best about Rippling?

I really like using Rippling because it brings most functional products like payroll, time off, T&E, into one streamlined platform. It’s intuitive and easy to navigate, which saves our team time and reduces administrative back-and-forth. I especially appreciate how automated workflows keep processes moving efficiently while still giving us the visibility and control we need. It makes managing HR feel organized, scalable, and far less manual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Our implementation experience with Rippling was extremely disappointing. The teams operated in silos and often seemed more focused on securing five-star reviews than ensuring we were genuinely comfortable and confident using the platform. Instead of providing hands-on, practical support, we were directed to hours of videos and tutorials. Too frequently, issues were escalated by “submitting an engineering ticket,” which made it feel as though no one on the implementation team had the expertise or authority to actually resolve problems in real time. One particularly frustrating example was when a team “took a correction payroll off our plate,” only to create significant additional issues for us. The effort required to secure any meaningful make-good was exhausting, and Rippling did very little to proactively rectify the problems or rebuild trust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All-in-One HR, Payroll, and IT Platform with Powerful Automation"
What do you like best about Rippling?

Rippling’s biggest strength is how it centralizes HR, payroll, IT, compliance, and learning into one cohesive system. Instead of managing multiple platforms that don’t talk to each other, everything lives in a single ecosystem. The automation around onboarding and offboarding is especially powerful — provisioning accounts, assigning training, tracking compliance, and managing documentation all happen seamlessly. The interface is clean and intuitive, which makes it easy for both administrators and employees to navigate. The reporting capabilities are strong, and integrations are flexible enough to support scaling organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Because Rippling offers so many features, it can feel overwhelming at first. There is a learning curve, especially when configuring workflows, permissions, and automation rules correctly. Some advanced customizations require deeper platform knowledge, and occasional updates can change navigation or settings. While support is responsive, more step-by-step implementation guides for complex use cases would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rippling Brought Our HR, Recruiting, and Payroll Together Seamlessly"
What do you like best about Rippling?

As a growing company, we needed a platform that housed HR, Recruiting, Talent, and Reviews all in the same place, as well as be able to work for global contractors and W-2 employees. Our previous payroll platform was not able to do that. The organization that Rippling has brought to our company has helped us be better.

While it can seem overwhelming getting Rippling set up, we had nothing but the best experience with all of Rippling's Implementation Team. They walk you through every step of the way and work at your pace to make sure you are fully set up and familiar with everything. We moved from implementation to managing everything with ease, while knowing they are available for any support we need. Integrating it within the company has been completed with ease.

Now, the whole company is using one platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

The only downside would be the cost and upgrades for additional features, but you get what you pay for and we have found that it is well worth it for the features and apps we need! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Annacy Sampas of Rippling

Hi Susannah! Thank you so much for sharing your Rippling experience. We're so glad we're helping you to unite HR, recruiting and payroll together. Let us know if we can support in any way. Thanks again!

"Rippling Unifies HR, IT & Payroll with Fast, User-Friendly Automation"
What do you like best about Rippling?

What I like most about Rippling is that it brings HR, IT, and payroll together in one straightforward system, rather than forcing teams to juggle multiple tools. It feels designed for real companies that want to move quickly without getting bogged down in administrative work. I also appreciate the emphasis on automation and the overall user experience, which reflects a strong understanding of what growing teams actually need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Nothing to change—I like it the way it is. It’s easy to navigate, even for a new user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great User Interface"
What do you like best about Rippling?

The best thing about using Rippling for me is that it has an easy-to-navigate user interface while providing the ability for me to have control of aspects of my employment that I once had to navigate HR red tape by making a request and then waiting. Now I can help manage everything related to my employment from clocking in to going on vacation to filing a claim for insurance benefits all in one place. I love the autonomy that it gives the employee because it eliminates the need for this aspect of the employee experience to be micromanaged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

I do not see any downsides of using Rippling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All-in-one platform that simplifies and streamlines people operations."
What do you like best about Rippling?

What I like best about Rippling is how much it simplifies things. Instead of bouncing between different systems for HR, payroll, benefits, and IT, everything lives in one place and actually works together. It makes day-to-day tasks feel a lot less scattered.

I also really appreciate the automation. Things like onboarding and offboarding that used to take a bunch of manual steps are now straightforward and much faster. It saves time and reduces the chances of something slipping through the cracks.

Overall, it just makes managing people and processes smoother and more organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

What I dislike about Rippling is that it can feel overwhelming at times. Because it does so much, the interface can be a bit complex, especially when you’re trying to find something specific or learn a new feature.

There are also moments when certain workflows don’t feel as intuitive as they could be, which can lead to extra clicks or some trial and error. And while automation is a big strength, when something doesn’t work exactly as expected, it can take a bit of digging to figure out what went wrong.

Overall, it’s powerful, but that depth can sometimes come with a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All-in-One Solution: Payroll, PTO, and Documents Without the Hassle"
What do you like best about Rippling?

What I like most about Rippling is the consolidation - having everything in one place instead of dealing with multiple portals for payroll, benefits, and time-off. When I first started, the onboarding experience was smooth. I could do all my paperwork, set up direct deposit, and enroll in benefits online without having to go back and forth with emails to HR.

The most useful feature is the time-off management system. I can check my PTO balance in real-time, request time-off easily, and be sure that holiday pay calculations are correct based on my schedule. There is no confusion about how many days I have available or whether my time-off request has been approved - it is all clear and automated.

The best part for me is that the payroll and compensation system integration is simply seamless. My pay is accurate and on time, and I can access pay stubs and tax statements whenever I want. Any bonuses or compensation adjustments are also smooth and easy to track. The system takes care of the complexity of compensation calculations for me, which is exactly what I want from a tool.

Rippling makes all the administrative aspects of my job easier. The less time I spend wrangling with HR information or trying to figure out my PTO balance means that I have more time to spend on actual work. The system is user-friendly enough that I don't need to ask for help very often, but robust enough to take care of all employment-related tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Honestly, I don’t have any complaints because Rippling is doing the basic things that I need it to do, which are payroll, time-off requests, and access to my employment documents. It does what it’s supposed to do.

If I were to complain about something, it’s that sometimes the interface can look a bit cluttered or overwhelming when you first log in. There are a lot of modules and functionality that our company may not even be utilizing, so it takes a minute to get to what I’m actually looking for. Once you learn where everything is, it’s not a problem, but the initial learning curve was a bit more difficult than it should have been.

Now and then, the mobile app isn’t quite as seamless as the desktop version, particularly if I’m trying to put in a time-off request or update information on the fly. It’s functional, but I usually just end up waiting until I’m at my computer if it’s anything more than just checking my PTO balance.

Aside from that, I don’t have any complaints about it. It’s a good system that does what it’s supposed to do, and that’s what matters most for a system like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"From Clunky to Cutting-Edge: Our Smooth Move from Zenefits"
What do you like best about Rippling?

The implementation process was incredibly seamless, especially transitioning from TriNet Zenefits, largely thanks to a highly structured implementation process and intuitive data migration tools. Moving our entire team over as of January 1st could have been an administrative nightmare, but Rippling’s platform accurately mapped our existing data and automated the heavy lifting of parallel payroll testing. The implementation team was proactive and clear, ensuring that our complex benefit structures and multi-state tax profiles were configured correctly from day one. It’s rare for a platform of this scale to be "plug-and-play", but we were fully operational with zero downtime for our employees.

What I like best is how Rippling acts as a single source of truth. The 'super-admin' capabilities, where IT, Payroll, and HR are all managed in one flow, have already saved us hours of manual data entry. The user interface is modern, intuitive, and actually enjoyable for our employees to use. As recently as today, one of our employees said to me - "I really like Rippling!". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rippling?

Because the platform is so powerful and customizable, the initial setup of took some trial and error to get exactly how we wanted it. Additionally, since many features are sold as add-on modules, you have to be very intentional about your package to ensure you have everything you need without overspending. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
