When building reports, it seems you have to ignore a lot of noise and operate under assumption that you're bringing in the right data.“ September 15, 2026 PN Phanindra N Staff Software EngineerComputer Software, 501 - 1,000 employeesUsed the software for: 1-2 years. “Rippling also demonstrates a solid cybersecurity foundation with features such as role-based access controls, SSO, MFA, and comprehensive audit logging, helping protect sensitive employee and payroll data.“ June 11, 2026 SS Stephanie DeHart S Business AdministratorRetail, 11 - 50 employeesUsed the software for: 6-12 months. “When you forget your password for Rippling or Rpass, and you reset it, you lose all of your RPass personal vault passwords.“ May 11, 2026 Sanit S AnalystHospital & Health Care, 10,001+ employeesUsed the software for: 6-12 months. “The automation capabilities reduce manual work, improve efficiency, and help streamline business processes.

Pros Rippling is easy to use, and help center articles are easy to find if you have questions. Cons Rippling constantly makes updates and changes to the interface with no warning and no description of what has changed. This can make it difficult to find things used on a regular basis. They have also sent out task reminders with instructions that are incomplete or outright incorrect. The constant ads and prompts to use AI also make the interface feel more like a social media site, which is not desireable. Review Source K. V. R. Founder ### "Payroll Works, but Pricing and Setup Frustrate" November 12, 2026 0.5 I use Rippling for payroll to pay my employees. Pros Hard to find anything to like Cons I mainly use Rippling for payroll, but I got tricked into managing my Google Workspace account and other subscriptions. They overcharge me based on the high watermark of employees and contractors, and charge full price for administrators who only manage payroll and aren’t on payroll. The practices remind me of companies like Comcast, where customers get locked in even if they aren’t using the products or services. The initial setup was a bit complicated, and I needed customer support to help us get started. Review Source Response from Rippling November 11, 2026 Hi there!

Your account team has confirmed they have reached out to you to collect additional feedback. We're committed to providing you the best possible support and product experience. Irene D. Senior Team Lead Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Responsive Support and a One-Stop Shop with Clear, Easy Dashboards" November 11, 2026 4.5 None Pros Other than the fact that they’re reachable when you have concerns and respond right away, the software itself feels like a one-stop shop. The dashboards are available for us to navigate and focus on what we want to see. It’s also pretty straightforward when it comes to our clock-ins and clock-outs. Cons Everything is done online. I still to see people behind it. Review Source Augusto V. ### "Great, solid tool" November 11, 2026 3.0 We're a small startup and despite being very expensive, they do most of the things for us (PEO, payroll, compliance, it device management, etc) Pros It offers a lot of products that help our HR team scale without a clear need to add too much headcount. There are also always additional products we could leverage, which is great for us. Cons Every feature feels like an additional product that we have to purchase separately. Support is slow, and they often ask us to do things they should be handling themselves, especially given that we’re paying them for that service. They’ve also made mistakes in areas as basic and core as Payroll & Benefits, which is unacceptable. They changed us 3 times in 2 months of 401k providers, and made US do the migration. Review Source Kristin C. ### "HR Operations Coordinator" November 11, 2026 4.0 They have made open enrollment easier and also just the ability to create workflows as well as auto-generate reports. Pros Accessibility of being able to navigate employee information and configure our PEO to meet our company's needs. Cons Ability to edit or delete policies accidentally without further security checks. Review Source SS Soumya S. Assistant manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Smoothest one stop HR software" November 11, 2026 4.5 It’s easy to track all sorts of requests under one roof, with almost zero HR intervention. Pros I have been using Rippling as an employee for almost two years, and it has saved me a lot of time on tedious HR work like clocking in/out, leave management, performance management, and team management. It lets me manage my day from start to finish on one platform, without the usual hassle. I use Rippling every day for punching in/out, approving team leave, and a few other tasks. It also sends prompt notifications—for example, when someone needs approval for leave or shift allowance—which helps me respond quickly and keeps my team happy with instant approvals for their requests. Cons It misses manual clock in/out request notifications from my team, I have faced this issue when I used the platform last time. Review Source Chris V. ### "Takes the stress out of international hiring" November 11, 2026 5.0 Rippling solves three big problems for us: compliance, complexity, and capacity. We don’t have to track employment rules in every country, juggle separate vendors for international payroll, or add staff to manage it all. Because it’s connected to the rest of our Rippling setup, everything from onboarding to payments to documents lives in one place. That saves us hours every month and gives us confidence that we’re doing things right. Pros We use Rippling for everything, and Rippling Global fits right into that. We hire both EOR employees and international contractors through it, and everything lives in the same system as the rest of our HR, payroll, and finance work. The biggest win is compliance. Rippling takes on the burden of following each country’s labor laws, so a small team like ours can hire globally without adding headcount or legal overhead. Onboarding, payments, and documents are all in one place, which saves us hours every month. Cons Honestly, not much. The only thing I’d mention is that EOR fees can add up for a small organization like ours. That said, the time, risk, and legal overhead it saves us make it well worth the cost.

Surgery Scheduler Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Easy-to-Navigate App with Essential Payroll, Benefits, and Timesheet Tools" November 11, 2026 5.0 Accessible payroll and benefits. I’m able to download the app on my personal device, which lets me use the features off-site. Pros The app is very easy to navigate and includes all the essential tools needed to manage payroll, benefits, and timesheet details. Cons I have no complaints about the system. It provides easy access, and the features are self-explanatory and straightforward to use. Review Source Brian S. Intern Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Rippling Password Makes Logging In Needlessly Difficult" November 11, 2026 2.5 I have zero idea, I just use it for my timesheet. Pros That login is easy, and it tells me what i need to do. Cons Rippling Password sucks, its terribly hard to login to it. Review Source Joshua B. Customer Experience Team Lead Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Simple, intuitive, and reliable as an employer of record" November 11, 2026 5.0 Rippling acts as our employer of record, which takes a lot of the complexity out of employment compliance. They handle tax payments and mandatory government contributions on our behalf, so we don’t have to worry about calculating them correctly or meeting filing deadlines ourselves. This gives us peace of mind that everything is being handled properly and lets us focus on our actual work instead of paperwork. Pros Rippling’s platform is user-friendly and easy to navigate. Everything is laid out clearly, so I can find what I need, whether that’s checking my pay details, updating my information, or viewing documents, without having to dig through menus or ask for help. It feels intuitive even for someone who isn’t very technical, which makes the whole experience stress-free. Cons Honestly, I can’t think of anything I dislike at the moment. My experience so far has been smooth, and I haven’t run into any issues that got in the way of using the platform. If anything comes up as I use it more, I’d be happy to update this review.
