Key Insights
Like Most: Customer support has been a highlight. They respond quickly. I find the device management to be something we use a lot and don't see from other HRIS system vendors.
Like Least: We have international employees and we find their tax offering and EOR to be costly and overly complex.
HR Director, Software Development,

Key Insights
Like Most: Their ATS module and the ability to process the payroll within the HR System.
Like Least: They sold us on their expertise in Canadian. We found they overpromised as they were not ready for the unique compliance issues with Canada and we found they made a lot of mistakes.

Rippling Pros & Cons
Rippling Customer Pros

Customer Support
User Friendly
Ease of Integration
"Their support chat is extremely helpful. A lot of the chat support employees will go the extra mile and send a zoom link immediately to help you troubleshoot."
"Rippling has exceeded my expectations. They take their customer's feedback seriously and many times work it into their future roadmap. They are very transparent with what is coming in the future to keep their customers informed and allow for future planning. Their customer service FAR surpasses that of other tools."
"Device Management was part of the offering I hadn't seen from other HRIS systems."
"UX, ease of adoption, integration with other HR tech stack, and payroll as a part of platform (eliminating need to buy a separate payroll solution)."
"The support has been amazing!"
"The UX/UI of the platform is very intuitive."
"Strong ability to connect tech and streamline other integrations (ex: Lever ATS)"
"While a bit complex, I like the reports. I also like the custom profiles and document management."
Rippling Customer Cons
Themes
Limited Support Options
Product Hiccups
Customization
"Rippling exclusively uses a support ticketing system. Depending on how that ticket is routed can lead to a delayed response. They don't enable you to be able to call support."
"The biggest issue we ran into was during implementation. They had promised the moon and the stars - that we would be totally hands-off and they would take care of everything. It turned out that we had to check everything and do a ton of data entry, re-checking items they did, etc. IT was very cumbersome work."
"The support chat is an bot, and it takes a while to get connected to a real person. Some issues with payroll batches and checks. Everything is an additional cost."
"There were some minor hiccups with some of the latest modules they rolled out."
"Many products are “in testing” and may not be ready for customers, but were pitched during our HRIS evaluation process."
"We were unable to customize employee profiles by removing fields."
"The Integration with our medical/dental/vision benefits provider was a major challenge in 2023."
"We found limitations when trying to make backdated changes and future dated entries."
Suggestions and Observations
Implementation Expectations. Ask detailed implementation questions during the evaluation process to ensure that you understand the requirements on your team for a successful implementation. This will align your expectations and Rippling's implementation process.
Support Expectations. Rippling does not provide live phone support for their customers. Their ticketing system and chat work well, but if you are expecting to call someone when you have an urgent issue you may be disappointed.
Think holistically About Your HR Tech. Rippling can deliver much of your HR Tech needs. During the evaluation process consider which solutions you want to come from Rippling and which should continue to come from other HR Tech systems via integration.
Vendor Partnership. Rippling values customer feedback in building its product roadmap. This can be an important consideration when selecting an HR Tech solution.
