Rippling Finance Reviews & Product Details

Travel expense management is easy to understand. Checking expense approvals and their current status is convenient. Corporate card management makes it easier to keep track of company spending. We can access these finance-related activities without much difficulty. I can access the information I need without switching between different tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The overall interface could be simpler. Some sections could be easier to navigate. The UI could be more user-friendly, particularly for people who use it only occasionally. For employees who use the platform for everyday finance activities, a simpler layout, clearer labels, and more straightforward navigation would make the experience much better.

It’s simple, easy, and seamless with it connected to our core HRIS and payroll system. From expense reporting to handling reimbursements, my Rippling card and transactions, and the overall Finance Overview, I am able to quickly find and/or take care of the relevant actions. Easiest system I've used compared to other HRIS's I've worked on in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there is nothing I dislike about it. As I said, I've worked with a number of HRIS systems in my 25 plus career in HR, and this is the most intuitive and simplest system with both great functionality and user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Accurate and simple to use, and it shows all the needed details. It also offers strong security and good flexibility for making modifications after the manager’s approval. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Actually, I like it, but a few times there was a slight difference between the estimated date and the actual date for receiving payment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still straightforward and easy to use, with easy-to-follow icons and responsive customer support, and a large number of features. New this year: the receipt scanning is excellent — I just forward a photo of a receipt by email and Rippling handles the rest, which is especially convenient for business trips. Adjusting monthly HSA contributions is also simple and quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I still struggle to find the right menus, especially anything finance-related — I end up clicking around a lot before I land on what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is having expenses, spending activities, approvals and related finance workflows in one place. the interface is fairly straightforward and features like automated expenses processing and receipt handling reduce some of the manual work for the finance team. I also like that the finance workflows can connect with employee and payroll information which makes it easier to keep everything organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The core workflows are easy enough to use but some of the more advanced reporting and administrative settings take time to get familiar with. I would also like more flexibility when customizing reports and certain approvals, especially when the organization's requirements are more specific. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The automation is honestly the best part. Since our employee profiles and finance tools are connected, everything just syncs up in the background. When an employee switches teams or gets a title change, their spending limits and approval managers update on their own without me having to intervene. Our employees also genuinely like using the app, as it takes a few seconds to snap a photo of a receipt, so expense reports are submitted way faster without anyone needing a nudge.

There’s a little bit of an adjustment curve when you’re setting up really detailed, customized approval chains for the first time. Also, expense reimbursements generally link right up with the regular payroll schedule, so if someone needs an immediate off-cycle payout for a large expense, you just have to plan a little extra time around that.

What I like most about Rippling is its impressive Workflow Studio and automation capabilities. When you’re migrating data from legacy systems like Namely, it becomes clear how much manual reconciliation can bog an HR team down. Rippling ties HR, payroll, and IT data together on a single graph, so when an employee record or status changes, downstream processes, such as benefits deductions, app provisioning, and compliance tracking—can update automatically, without the need for repetitive manual data entry.

While Rippling’s ecosystem is powerful, its à la carte pricing model can be a double-edged sword for growing companies. Since you pay per module or per app (for example, adding IT management, specific compliance features, or advanced workforce analytics), expenses can ramp up quickly as the organization scales. That means you need to budget carefully from the start so you don’t get surprised later by software line items steadily increasing as you expand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is that spend is tied to the same employee data we already keep in Rippling. Card limits and approval chains update on their own when someone changes roles or managers. When someone is offboarded, their card gets shut off without me having to remember a separate step. For IT procurement, I like that software subscriptions, hardware purchases, and vendor bills all go through one approval flow. I don’t have to chase receipts across three different tools.

Getting policies and approval chains set up right takes some trial and error. Approval routing can surprise you depending on who submits the request. Admins have to test their rules before rolling them out company-wide. The documentation could be clearer, so I end up confirming things with support or testing in the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Submitting expenses is quick. I snap a photo of the receipt, it pulls in most of the details, and I just pick the category and hit submit. It’s tied into the rest of Rippling, so my manager gets the approval request right away and the reimbursement shows up with my regular pay without me following up. I also like being able to see where each expense is in the process instead of wondering if it got lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The receipt scanning doesn’t always read the amount or merchant correctly, so I sometimes have to fix it by hand. Picking the right category or project code can be confusing when there are a lot of options and no real explanation of which one to use. It would also be nice if the mobile app made it easier to edit or add notes to an expense after it’s already been submitted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once I was hired, my company card was processed within three days. We did run into an issue with the physical card delivery, but that was due to the courier (it was an international shipment). What I really appreciated is that virtual cards are also available to request, and mine was issued immediately, so I was able to purchase my work tools and software with no delay.

After a purchase goes through, the transaction details show up right away in the Rippling app, and I can add receipts as soon as I spend on something, which gives me peace of mind. Purchases can also be auto-approved, as long as the transaction details and the receipt match. Everything is so well thought plus the user interface is nice to look at.

I remember my admin manager was not even aware that Rippling issued us company cards (I'm an EOR). Not necessarily a bad thing but getting a confirmation before issuing is probably better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
