Payroll Management Software

One concern people commonly raise about Rippling

is the intensity of the work culture. Multiple employee reviews describe a very high-performance environment with aggressive expectations, fast execution cycles, and long hours.

Another recurring criticism is that the company can prioritize speed and growth over process maturity. Some employees mention unclear communication, shifting priorities, and pressure to deliver quickly, which can create stress or technical debt as the company scales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rippling’s approach is to create a single “source of truth” for employee data so actions across HR, IT, payroll, and finance happen automatically together. For example, onboarding a new employee can automatically trigger payroll setup, laptop provisioning, app access, benefits enrollment, and compliance workflows in one process.

I personally don't have any negative feedback. I wish my company utilized your app for more of our work functions (i.e time off, benefits, and if I recall form a previous job - clocking in & out via Gusto) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gusto makes the over view of my pay easier to see and understand. I do not miss the days of straining my eyes over a paystub to see the breakdown of where my money is going. Gusto offers a faster and more user friendly platform to take control of your cash flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My experience onboarding with them has been a nightmare. If I hadn't used them before and knew the other benefits, I might have cancelled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very streamlined and easy to use. The last payroll company had a very confusing to use software and ADP is not complicated. It's laid out in an easy to use way. Their support is also awesome, the other company we used was terrible at support and we even paid extra to have an individual representative and ADP has by far been better than our previous company in support.

One thing I hope improves over time is that the AI often lacks the nuance needed for regional compliance, so it tends to give generic answers rather than truly localized guidance. That’s especially frustrating when I’m seeking support in different languages, because finding a native-speaking expert can be slow. If the multi-lingual AI were more intelligent and context-aware, it would noticeably improve performance and help streamline our global onboarding workflows.

Honestly, before switching to Deel for my remote design work, onboarding was always a huge, confusing hurdle—endless back-and-forth about local labor laws and tax residency. We used to struggle with cross-border compliance when it was managed manually, but now the platform takes care of the legal heavy lifting automatically. As a result, I was fully onboarded and ready to work in under 24 hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest issue I have found with Paycom is the Time Clock application. While trying to run a Time Clock kiosk on an iPad, it can be difficult to setup based on how Paycom requires a link to authenticate, then the active link changes. This makes it cumbersome when trying to use the kiosk in single app mode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Paycom being a single solution that covers everything from the Candidate Search to the Employee leaving, Paycom helps solve many issues. One thing that has really helped us is that Paycom is an easy and quick way for students to manage their working hours. Allowing the students, and full time staff, the ability to clock in and out from mobile devices as well as a computer really makes sure that we have accurate time management.

The commission that they charge to withdraw my funds to my bank account is about 16%. That is incredibly high. I'd like to withdraw the funds to one of my bank accounts which gives me interests, but 16% is too much so I just keep it in the Deel card. So besides of the commission they charge I'm also losing the potential interests I could be receiving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deel Payroll reduces the time international payments require. It transfers payments to my Deel card in minutes, which I can use instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the server goes down which affects work. Also, I have noticed that when I download resumes from the candidate list, they are always the same as the original. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use JobDiva to manage recruitment, staying organized and efficient. It saves time with resume search and tracking, integrates smoothly with job boards, and helps manage multiple roles without confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface can feel a bit clunky, with too many clicks required to complete simple actions. Some of the reporting is also challenging, especially when working with date ranges. Overall, it’s a pricier ATS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before we started using Greenhouse, there were a lot of tasks we had to handle manually, such as certain reporting and posting jobs by hand on other sites. With its many integrations, along with access to pre-built reports and templates, Greenhouse has saved our TA team a ton of time and made those processes much more efficient.

What I dislike about 100Hires is that some functionalities feel slightly limited compared to more advanced ATS platforms. Certain customization options, analytics, and reporting features could be more robust for deeper recruitment tracking and KPI analysis. Additionally, when handling multiple vacancies simultaneously, some workflows can take time to optimize and navigate efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

100Hires helps solve the challenge of maintaining an organized and efficient recruitment workflow. Instead of relying on manual tracking through emails and spreadsheets, the platform centralizes candidate management, applicant tracking, and team communication in one system. This improves recruitment visibility, streamlines collaboration with hiring managers, reduces administrative workload, and helps ensure that no candidate or critical hiring step is missed throughout the recruitment process.

Can take a while to get a response back to a customised employer letter when needed. Also I found it tricky to follow the health insurance sign up instructions, this is much easier when you are employed directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Remote opens up career opportunities in companies that I normally would not be eligible to work for as they don't have an Irish entity. I work remotely and I value self service tools like Remotes dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about BambooHR is that some of the more advanced customization and reporting features can feel somewhat limited depending on the company’s specific needs. There are also certain integrations and features that may require additional add-ons or workarounds. While the platform is very clean and easy to use, there are moments where more flexibility and deeper functionality would be helpful for larger or more complex workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BambooHR is solving the problem of having employee information, onboarding, time tracking, and HR processes spread across multiple systems or handled manually. By centralizing everything into one platform, it helps reduce administrative work, improves organization, and makes it easier to manage employee records and requests efficiently.

For me, the biggest benefit is the time and communication it saves. Tasks like onboarding new employees, approving time-off requests, and accessing important employee information become much more streamlined and accessible. It also helps create a smoother experience for both management and employees by making processes more transparent and easier to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI / UX (Learning Curve & Clutter):

The interface is frequently described as cluttered and overwhelming for new users.

Simple tasks sometimes require multiple unnecessary clicks, and navigation to different sections can feel unintuitive compared to competitors like JobDiva.

Performance (Lag & Technical Glitches):

Users report frustratingly slow performance and lag, especially during peak hours or when processing high data volumes (such as loading candidate profiles or bulk resume imports).

Technical issues include frequent automatic log-offs and users being deactivated without warning, requiring administrative intervention to reactivate them.

AI / Intelligence (Resume Parsing & Matching Errors):

While the AI matching is a highlight, resume parsing can be inconsistent, often misclassifying fields and requiring manual corrections to ensure profile accuracy.

The system sometimes struggles with duplicate candidate prevention, failing to stop existing candidates from being added as new entries.

Pricing / ROI (Transparency & Modules):

Ceipal uses quote-based pricing rather than transparent public per-seat costs, which can complicate budgeting for procurement teams.

While the base ROI is high, costs can increase significantly as you add necessary advanced modules for deeper functionality.

Support / Onboarding (Response Time):

Although initial onboarding is smooth, some users have noted delayed response times from customer support once a formal complaint is registered.

Integrations & Reporting:

The standard home page dashboards only fetch data for the last three months; viewing older historical data requires navigating to a separate BI module, which is less productive.

The mobile app lacks many features found in the desktop version, which can limit the effectiveness of recruiters who need to work on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AI & Intelligence (Solving: Manual Screening & Fitment Bias)

Problem: Sifting through thousands of resumes to find niche technical skills is time-consuming and often results in missed top-tier talent.

Benefit: Ceipal’s AI-driven matching and ranking engine automatically identifies and shortlists candidates based on specific skills, tenure, and work experience. This allows you to focus on the most viable contenders immediately, achieving up to a 94% placement rate.

2. Integrations (Solving: Sourcing Frustration)

Problem: Navigating multiple job boards and VMS portals to harvest resumes causes significant productivity loss.

Benefit: With over 200+ integrations (including LinkedIn, Dice, and Monster), you can simultaneously search across all platforms from within one dashboard. This one-click "Managed Resume Harvesting" can grow your talent pool by over 70%.

3. Performance & Workflow (Solving: High Time-to-Fill)

Problem: Manual recruitment workflows are often unorganized, making it difficult to track applicant statuses like interviews or rejections.

Benefit: Automated workflows, including one-click job postings and interview scheduling, can reduce your time-to-fill by 50%. The system tracks every stage of the talent lifecycle, from submission to onboarding, in a single consolidated module.

4. Pricing & ROI (Solving: Fragmented Tech Spend)

Problem: Using multiple tools for CRM, ATS, and onboarding is expensive and hard to manage.

Benefit: Ceipal allows you to replace 4–6 separate tools with one platform, leading to a 75% reduction in overall technology spend. This cost-efficiency is a major driver for mid-market and enterprise staffing firms.

5. UI/UX (Solving: Data Visibility & Insight)

Problem: Recruiters often lack clear visibility into their hiring pipeline and team performance.

Benefit: The 360° user-friendly dashboard provides real-time BI reports and visual pie charts. This enhanced visibility helps you track candidate statuses effortlessly and understand which sourcing channels are yielding the best results.

6. Support & Onboarding (Solving: Hiring Lag & Risk)

Problem: Paper-heavy and unorganized onboarding is prone to compliance risks and can cause high new-hire turnover.

Benefit: Ceipal’s paperless eBoarding portal guides new hires through every step digitally, ensuring data security and SOC 2 compliance. For recruiters, this means faster onboarding and a smoother transition from placement to active duty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the system where we get the reports from, like for the payroll reports, there's an issue. We couldn't find a total abstract report at one place. We have to take a workforce report from the employee details and the payroll report from the pre-payroll details, which is CTC summary. So, we end up downloading two reports and then merging them into one, which is a bit tedious, but that's okay. It will be okay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HROne simplifies complex tasks like payroll management, making it less tedious compared to previous software. Its user-friendly interface eases navigation and daily HR activities such as attendance and new hire enrollment, enhancing overall efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not yet had any real negative experiences with UKG ready yet. I think the only thing that I've had an issue with was trying to use the mobile app, as I could not find my workplace on the app and therefore could not get it running. Though it is a managed environment for me anyways, so this might not exactly be a UKG specific problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would not say that I have a specific problem which I chose UKG to solve. As an employee it allows me to clock in and out seamlessly from my laptop and easily request time off when I need it. Tax documents were also pretty easy to find when I needed them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the platform is solid, more customization in reports and approval workflows would be beneficial. Some actions still require support intervention, which could be automated. Faster turnaround times for region-specific compliance documents and a more feature-rich mobile experience would further enhance usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multiplier eliminates the complexity of managing multi-country payroll and compliance. It helps us stay aligned with local labor laws, reduces administrative overhead, and ensures timely payments across regions. This has improved operational efficiency and allowed our team to focus on strategic HR initiatives rather than manual compliance tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although the website does usually have a notice, an email would be helpful to remind of legal holidays and their effect on payroll. Also, bring back the "Cue the Confetti" emails! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keeping track of employees' time in and out in order to have a smooth payroll process, then processing payroll and knowing that everything is taken care of. It is one less thing to worry about at the end of the week and a great peace of mind! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, at this stage I’m very satisfied with the tool. If I had to highlight an area for improvement, it would be further developing task automation to enhance productivity even more. That said, the existing features are already quite advanced. I’m looking forward to the upcoming version with its new features and improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Jarvi effectively addresses key challenges in recruitment, particularly through its strong LinkedIn integration and the way it streamlines processes around opportunities. A major benefit also comes from its powerful built-in AI, which significantly enhances efficiency in daily tasks. Additionally, the platform’s flexibility is a real strength—almost everything can be easily customized and configured, allowing it to adapt perfectly to our workflows.

Sometimes the update cycle for new tax rules takes a bit longer than expected especially during peak tax seasons. A real time change log with alerts would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're managing payroll for employees spread across 8 different states. Symmetry ensures we're always compliant with the latest tax laws without manual intervention, reducing audit risks and saving legal consulting costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The steps are a bit confusing. We have to move an applicant to “candidate” in order to set up an interview with them. Even more confusing, we have to move the applicant to “hire” just to get them to the onboarding paperwork. This recently caused confusion with my boss when he was covering for me while I was on vacation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have fewer applicants coming in and out of the office. Previously, applicants sometimes had to come in several times because they weren’t prepared with all of their documentation, or we felt obligated to hire them since they took the time to come into the office. Now we conduct phone interviews and require all documents to be submitted through Hireology before their one in-office appointment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keka keeps adding new features, which is great. The reports and integrations could still improve, but overall things are getting better with time. Earlier, we had to wait for the support team to be available to answer our queries; now the AI bot is available 24/7, which makes it much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keka helps us manage attendance, leave, payroll, and performance all in one place. It saves time, reduces manual work, and keeps everything accurate and organized. This lets us focus more on important HR tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
