Considered Both Products
JazzHR
Chose JazzHR
Jobvite had better capabilities for us, but also has a whole other set of problems. Also owned by the Employ group.
Chose JazzHR
JazzHR was more feature rich though more expensive
Chose JazzHR
Easy to use, easy to teach, user-friendly platform. Helps your team stay organized and on track of requests/candidates. Integrates smoothly [with] any other external or internal tools that you might have as part of your recruitment process. Workflow establishment, along with …
Chose JazzHR
JazzHR has more functionality than both Indeed and BambooHR. We had previously used Indeed, which works well enough, but the additional tracking that JazzHR offers, in addition to posting on ZipRecruiter and other paid and unpaid sites, was a dealbreaker for us in attempting to …
Chose JazzHR
It is pretty similar to what I have used before. I like JazzHR because they are always trying to make things easier and add new features for us. I love when things can become more seamless, or something becomes easier, so it is nice that JazzHR is always working on that.
Chose JazzHR
Jazz HR is more cohesive, and is more user friendly.
Chose JazzHR
[JazzHR] is a good solution that is still being updated and improved but is not a full suite that could support all businesses and needs. It is a good solution for businesses with specific needs.
Chose JazzHR
It is a user friendly interface that makes the tool easy to use. The tool can be scale up from startups and growing companies to presidential companies. JazzHR tool is not too expensive as you can customise the tool according to company's needs. It can integrate plenty of job …
Chose JazzHR
Jobvite is way more difficult to implement, costs 4 times as much, and is a bit clunky to use. I've implemented jobvite twice and will always use JazzHR going forward.
Chose JazzHR
We utilized GoCo prior to JazzHR and the broader functionality and usability of JazzHR made us switch. Being able to track everything in one portal easily without any major downtime for setup meant that we could utilize JazzHR right out of the box and start posting job recs and …
Chose JazzHR
JazzHR is lightyears ahead of TAM. Much more intuitive, ease of use, better navigation hierarchy, better integration tools, better everything.
Chose JazzHR
JazzHR has better customer support and more features. It's also nice to have a trial first, then move into a purchase immediately.
Chose JazzHR
JazzHR was the most user-friendly and not too robust for our small company. I also liked JazzHR's dashboard and how you can see everything on one screen. The price was also very reasonable for JazzHR where the others were very expensive.
Chose JazzHR
We had another ATS system that didn't provide much functionality. As aforementioned, the ability to post unlimited jobs and get candidates quickly were a big positive for us.
Chose JazzHR
Recruiterbox is a great ATS however it is more basic than what JazzHR offers. Their interfaces are equally user-friendly and pricing is similar also. However, JazzHR has more functions (e-signatures, auto-reject, more in-depth reporting) that we needed in order to improve our …
Chose JazzHR
I only used one other applicant tracking system in the past and it was My Staffing Pro. I didn't like the way this was used at my last company and it was not as customizable as JazzHR, but this was years ago.
Chose JazzHR
JazzHR is still the most simple for the user out of all 3 other products I have used. Lawson is a dinosaur and expensive. ADP has very minimal features and setup is not user friendly or easily customizable. Paycom is simple but lacks a lot of integration with other systems.
Chose JazzHR
Crelate is the perfect suite that offers both a fully searchable candidate and client database. They even offered a 30 day money back guarantee in response to the sad business practices at Jazz HR
Chose JazzHR
Like most ATS platforms, Jazz has similar features, but came in for significantly cheaper than the competition and totally sufficient for the needs of our team. With our Zenefits integration discount and a non-profit discount it was a very clear choice. The startup / activation …
Chose JazzHR
Easier user interface than Salesforce and Bullhorn. Much better functionality than Avionte. Brightmove parses and attaches documents easier as they don't have to PDF or uploaded (can drag/drop).
Chose JazzHR
We looked at BambooHR, some of the big enterprise solutions, and using free tools like Trello. You get what you pay for. And for us, Jazz was the perfect cost for what we wanted. We could run interviews ourselves and we didn't need all the bells and whistles, but we also …
Chose JazzHR
As with the question on whether or not I would recommend the product, it depends. No two customer needs are the same so I always encourage companies to develop a matrix of wants and needs and ensure that the demonstrations of the products are tailored to those. For the …
Rippling
Chose Rippling
As an end user, it's a great experience, and I haven't used anything that is as integrated and useful as this.
Chose Rippling
Its ease of use, security, user friendly UI helped us a lot
Chose Rippling
Rippling offers more complex features allowing employees to really take control on how they use Rippling. It also has a really simple and clean user interface that is great to use especially for those that do not have strong computer skills. This drives strong employee …
Chose Rippling
My employer selected Rippling over Deel, because it was cheaper, had better support and a better payroll automation system
Chose Rippling
Rippling is the perfect balance between a PEO and a standalone payroll system. They have all the functions, features and support that a company needs, but allows the user (company) the flexibility to utilize the system with control. Other systems were missing this feature, …
Chose Rippling
it helps us scale, we are able to have proper employee benefits and we reduce multiple drives employee workflows.
Chose Rippling
Rippling stands out over others with its faster deployment, modern interface, and all-in-one automation for HR, IT, and payroll—making it ideal for fast-growing companies
Chose Rippling
As I am a fresher. I started using both recently. Both are completely different. But we use Jira for assigning tickets and comments etc. In Rippling we do other things. I like the interface of Jira than Rippling. We can't measure in most scenarios which is better like that. I …
Chose Rippling
Rippling is far superior than those other products. That's why we chose Rippling. The level of integration of multiple functions are limited to most but not for Rippling. This application/platform has proved it's worth with it's efficiency and they truly deliver their purpose. …
Chose Rippling
Rippling has more information and is easier to access.
Chose Rippling
We moved away from ADP WorkforceNow for Rippling, and it's been the best decision the company has made. I have saved hundreds of manual hours annually with this change.
Chose Rippling
Good for the all-in-one activity for tracking. All roles and implementations is good. Rippling enables businesses to manage both people and their access to apps, devices, and systems from one place, streamlining operations and improving security. End-to-end workflows across …
Chose Rippling
Significant more features and a much better mobile application. Rippling's mobile application is a serious win! Our employees love the ability of submitting human resources related tasks through their phone at any time. In addition, Rippling has a significant larger pool of …
Chose Rippling
Rippling has a better user experience, is more easy to use and more comprehensive. This is more related to feelings but with Employee Navigator I felf my data was not being protected because the platform looked very old and outdated. With Rippling the feeling is the opposite …
Chose Rippling
Cost effectiveness is one key that helped us to improvise the company. And all features in a single application URL is best for end users. it may be of different modules but for end users as one is a plus. where onboarding and managing users are tough when company grows year by …
Chose Rippling
Rippling inetrages with more systems
Chose Rippling
This application was horrible. Always had issues and the customer service was always so bad because they took forever to respond to any issue. Payroll was always an issue when we needed to have anything changed or corrected.
Chose Rippling
Dayforce has the option for submitting time cards. Then employees and employers need a separate app for many other functions. Which Rippling as stated previously the app allows you to just use Rippling and have all bases covered .
Chose Rippling
Rippling seems to have a wider range of features than similar products, but some of them are not currently used.
Chose Rippling
Although I did not choose Rippling, I’m glad my company did! It’s the best platform I’ve used by far. It exceeds Workday's capabilities and is easier to use in terms of its user interface. I’d pick Rippling 10 times out of 10 over any HR platform I’ve used before, especially …
Chose Rippling
Rippling is SO MUCH easier than GoCo. I worked for GoCo in the past and worked in technical support. And I saw so many issues every day with how the app worked. I was shocked to onboard with Rippling and have ZERO ISSUES. It was so easy! Highly recommend.
Chose Rippling
Easier to navigate and operate. Interface is more clean and modern. Paycom is full of options and menus everywhere, which makes it harder to operate. Also app integration with Rippling is so much easier.
Chose Rippling
We would love to transfer from our Power Automate Platform for salary increase approvals into Rippling. I think Rippling is better as it does not an expiration date for any approval flows like Power Automate does (30 days). It's also a great platform to consolidate everything …
Chose Rippling
Rippling provides the information in a clearer and more compact form. Unlike its competitor, it does not require the candidate to be aware of updates in the hiring process. Rippling delivers updates in real time, which allows the candidate to be aware of what is happening, thus …

Likelihood to Recommend
Since it allows you to tag candidates based on their level of talent or potential utility to the company, it is best used to identify the best prospects in large operations, such as multi-franchise oriented businesses that cover all kinds of sales. It can be used to make periodic assessments of the level of employee growth in certain departments, and based on the results let us know if certain employees would do better working in another type of area, so that the overall work operations are more uniform. JazzHR could excel in departments that use a high level of reporting, as its administrative tools provide high content reports with statistics on the performance of each employee or candidate at different levels.

I highly recommend Rippling for any company, regardless of its size. Many well-known companies trust it, and if you go onto their LinkedIn page, you will likely find that many of your friends and colleagues are already familiar with them. Along with a highly flexible and easy-to-use UI, many other companies use it, making it feel like a small world. Any company that needs software for expense management and payroll and wants consistency should consider using Rippling.

Pros
  • Customizable fields for the applicant/candidate process.
  • Easily tag managers on comments for candidates.
  • Send emails to candidates easily through the system.
  • Easy to see duplicate candidates and delete or merge their files.
  • Can assign stars to candidates and managers can vote on a candidate through the system.
  • Can set up Questionnaires to help screen candidates.

  • I did not expect Live Chat Support and Email Support when we moved to Rippling. Their Support team is quick and very knowledgeable. I have had multiple instances where we have gone back and forth on a situation to come to the correct conclusion, never feeling they were trying to just close the case unsolved.
  • Being able to manage employees from application to separation is huge. Having a built in ATS that we can hire candidates from directly, and immediately have their payroll, benefits and employee profile setup has saved me countless hours for each hire.
  • Rippling allows us to manage retirement plans across the US, Canada and UK with automation and file feeds. Before Rippling I manually managed these in multiple portals, now Rippling does it for me automatically.

Cons
  • Better candidate search capabilities. (For example, I would like to search "Erika P" to show all the people named "Erika" and last name "P" - other companies had advanced search functions, but it wasn't worth 2-5X the cost.)
  • Calculating Time in each WorkFlow stage. (Jazz has great reporting for how long it takes to Advance a candidate, Interview a candidate, Hire a candidate, or Not hire a candidate. It would be great to add some reporting within each workflow stage.)

  • It is hard to think of ways that Rippling could improve. The one area that we did have a bit of a slowdown was in the onboarding process. It was not intuitive and we expect to have some learning curve so if I could say anything needs improvement it would be this area.

It worked well for the majority of our needs and is still in use even though I've left the company. The Resumator was an interim solution until we found a system that integrated with all our other internal systems. However, we ended up staying with it because of ease of use

Rippling continues to innovate and amaze me with their new innovations and features. Product feedback is taken seriously so I always give it whenever I can and end up seeing results. Rippling is the new wave of HRIS that cannot compare against others in the industry just due to the fact they are super user friendly!

Usability
It's not a 10 due to the eTemplates. If those were less time-consuming to set up and if some common forms were available to select from already set up, then I would give it a 10.

Rippling is a great product that has streamlined our payroll and leave management processes. The interface is intuitive, and it’s very convenient to manage everything in one place. While the initial setup was a bit lengthy and the mobile experience can sometimes be a little slow, overall, it’s been a reliable and effective solution for our needs.

Reliability and Availability

I like that the availability in using Rippling at any given time is useful to me. Getting on the site freely when I need gives me security of knowing that I can be in control of viewing health insurance and hours information. I have yet to get any errors in using the Rippling app.

Performance

Rippling's performance has been great, no errors or glitches yet so far. I am confident that Going from one page to the next and all its complexity usage does not lag or times out, it works effectively and efficiently. While using Rippling and other apps it does not tend to slow it down, works great. No complaints.

Support Rating
Each person I've spoken to have been helpful, positive and encouraging. Once you begin using JazzHR, they have intervals in which they reach out to you to see how you're doing or if you have any questions. When you're setting up, they review what you've done and offer praise as well as suggestions on how to make it work better for you. They offer webinars and online training videos to walk you through every process.

When I did have to reach out to Rippling for assistance I was able to get quick help and my problem resolved in a time efficient manner with out any type of hick up. The customer support team is professional, kind and always available. This makes Rippling more welcoming to use on a daily basis.

A solutions consultant walked me through each step. It was easy. As I progressed in setting things up, their support contacted me to set a time to walk through any possible issues and make suggestions on a better way to set it up. At any time, if I had a question, they were available and there are also training documents and videos available.

It's really easy to implement in comparison to other tools or applications. Different key points are easily configured and implemented as per need, having different configurations in systems. Implementation is something which binds the different parameters of an organization in a single row. Implementation of rippling is much easier, quicker, and error free than any other software. I recommend it strongly!

We switched from Gusto to Rippling and I wish we would've done it years ago. Rippling is so much more robust than Gusto and has made the lives of our HR team and each of our employees so much easier! I'd recommend Rippling over Gusto to every organization without any hesitation

I can go on here and see all my hours and pto plus health benefits. I like to have the work handbook handy to refer to legal things. How to work my role within it's limits. Being able to put in my hours and view when they are approved is a huge benefit for me.

Return on Investment
  • This cuts down immensely on staff time needed in the total recruiting process. Has probably saved at least 1/2 person.
  • Trees are being saved since we don't have to print as much! :)
  • Consistency is so important in the HR field. Jazz HR makes this easy.
Read full review
  • Routine things like PTO requests and document uploads now take a few clicks instead of hours of email back‑and‑forth. I’d estimate I spend at least half the time on those tasks compared to before, which frees me up to actually help employees.
  • What used to drag on for days now gets done in a morning - I've just asked them this now. New hires can log in, set up their tools, and start training almost immediately, so they’re productive much sooner.
  • Payroll and benefits errors used to pop up regularly, but now I almost never have to fix things or follow up on missing info. That means less stress for me and for everyone involved.
  • Having everything in one platform cuts out the “where did you send that?” and “who approves this?” questions. It feels like we’ve reduced our back‑and‑forth by at least a third.
