Pros

“The thing I like most about Rippling is that it has allowed me to unify my HR tooling and services to a single vendor that solves problems for me from international hiring and onboarding to benefits and payroll.”
JP

James P.

Chief Product Officer

“Having payroll, HR, compliance, performance management, device management, and employee records all in one platform is incredibly convenient and helps streamline day-to-day operations.”
SK

Serish K.

HR Director

“It consolidated tools we were paying for separately, cut down the admin work for our people ops and IT teams, and gave employees a much better experience for everyday tasks like time off, expenses, and benefits.”
AA

Ali A.

CSM

Pros

“It gets the job done and the new updates make everything more streamlined in terms of accessing information and utilizing it to build classes.”
KC

Kyla C.

Teacher

“It's not that PowerSchool was ineffective, rather as it has grown into more from just the attendance tracking and the SIS side the number of add-ons and features has grown and the pricing became a little outside of our range.”
DJ

Devin J.

Administrator

“A simple no frills data management app that is able to hold student info.”
SP

Steven P.

Operations Manager

Cons

“Lastly, the user is unable to customize the dashboard easily; however, the worst part of using rippling is that it becomes extremely slow when every person uses it to run payroll at the same time.”
LK

Lawrence K.

Enterprise Software Architect and Developer

“The search bar completely sucks 50% of the time — if you type something that isn’t exactly worded as per the system’s usage, you get no results and you have to browse through endless screens.”
BD

Benjamin D.

CTO

“Occasionally, there are small bugs or syncing delays between modules, particularly with third-party integrations, which can be frustrating when handling time-sensitive payroll or reporting tasks.”
AL

Ammaar L.

Software Engineer

Cons

“It’s frustrating enough that it is required to do the whole application in one sitting.”
NW

Nicole W.

School counselor

“it won’t save any of my data to apply for a career.”
NW

Nicole W.

School counselor

“I can find most things I need but reports are something that is still more difficult than Aeries”
