    Considered Both Products
    BambooHR
    Chose BambooHR®
    In my experience, I prefer overall reporting and functionality of Rippling, Gusto, and Ease.
    It is on par with Employee Navigator and Paycom (due to more user friendly design)
    Prefer to Worklio, Paylocity, and ADP Workforce.
    Incentivized
    Chose BambooHR®
    I did not select BambooHR, it was already in use and it works well for the size of the company so there is no reason to change it. Paylocity has better payroll functionality but is lacking on the HRIS side, so BambooHR and Paylocity are somewhat comparable. In my opinion, avoid …

    Chose BambooHR®
    BambooHR® was able to provide excellent value for money when compared to the other options we looked at when we carried out a review of them. A previous member of the team had also used BambooHR® at another company and rated them highly which influenced our decision greatly. …

    BambooHR's system was easier to set up with their support team than previous vendors I've used.
    Incentivized
    Chose BambooHR®
    When reviewing which HRIS to go with, BambooHR came out on top for a few reasons. One was the cost compared to others and what you get for that cost. It saved the company money versus what we had, including Lever, ADP, Calamari, etc., and condensed it into one system. Next, the …

    Rippling
    Chose Rippling
    I have experience using BambooHR, and though it has similarities in most features, I would say that Rippling does the job because of its functionality in contract templates that we can utilize for independent international contractors. It is very easy to navigate and set up, …

    Chose Rippling
    Rippling is more comprehensive than BambooHR in that it is an all-in-one platform that combines HR, IT, and payroll management. It’s ideal for a solution that integrates employee lifecycle management with IT tools. BambooHR is less comprehensive, in that it is primarily …

    Chose Rippling
    Rippling's HRIS is similar in quality to BambooHR and Workday. However, where Rippling outshines those platforms is in its added functionality and connection to other portions of the platform as well as other applications. Being able to have our HRIS and Payroll Software on the …

    Chose Rippling
    Rippling was by far the better option. ADPs offerings were terrible and I would not recommend anyone to go with them. Aside from the poor support/service and inability to be fully customizable, there were glaring issues regarding compliance. When we were in a PEO Model …

    Chose Rippling
    It's hard to write a lot here because the competing products just aren't very good. I have used ADP in multiple companies - they are a huge company, and their platform feels like it. ADP is sluggish and ancient, and the benefits management is an afterthought. BambooHR is old …

    Rippling is much more intuitive. The UI is much more simple to navigate and does not require you to dig through several menus to find what you need like others do. I remember constant frustration trying to remember where certain features were located in other apps, but Rippling …
