    Chose Paycom
    ADP Workflow, Paylocity, BambooHR, Worklio - Paycom has a superior feature set and reporting tools. Rippling, Gusto, PlanSource - Paycom is less preferred due to its overly complex feature set.

    Chose Paycom
    Paycom stacks up well overall against other providers in the same realm. There are areas of improvement that other companies are handling better, but overall, they are very similar. Paycom could improve on two major components: intersystem communication and ATS. Betti, however, …

    Chose Paycom
    Paycom was the service that met all of our needs at the best value. Others are more expensive or lacked all of the operational items that we wanted to cover.

    Restaurant Manager in Customer Service at Dells Resorts (Hospitality, 51-200 employees)
    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
    Paycom is extremely clunky. I remember one specific incident it took me a whole day to login to view my HR file. I had to reset my password, email, and call my GM to get access. The UX was not sleek at all and was notably older looking. Rippling is sleek and fresh.

    Chose Rippling
    Much cleaner user interface; less cluttered, more streamlined into "apps" or areas of focus where things can be more easily found. Onboarding and benefit enrollment workflows are above and beyond. Fewer dropdown menus to find what I'm looking for. More intuitive terminology …

    rippling is #1. fast and easy to use. I have used workday and Paycom and this is by far the most seamless software I have used at a workplace. Every tab provided has a purpose and there is nothing you cannot find on your day to day to answer any questions.

    These bigger HRIS systems are built on old systems that require more work to understand and navigate the systems.

    Chose Rippling
    Rippling seemed to be much more user friendly. In speaking with fellow business owners, many of the other payroll companies I looked into had poor customer service reviews, and the costs were much higher than Rippling. I also am pleased that Rippling offers much more than …

    Daniel Aguirre
    Partner Support Specialist in Customer Service at Instawork (Staffing & Recruiting, 501-1000 employees)
    Chose Rippling
    Rippling has far better UI and for me personally, is much more intuitive which is more important to me as an employee than a feature-rich software. Information is easier to find, things are easier to update and overall feels better than some of the alternatives out there.

    Chose Rippling
    Traditional payroll software has a clunky user experience. They get the job done, but it's at the expense of more time spent by my HR team in supporting employees in using the software to find what they need. Rippling's self-service features work because it's intuitive and easy …

    Chose Rippling
    I would say that Rippling is the leader out of these I've mentioned. It's very easy to navigate, unlike Paycor or Paylocity. I was not the decision-maker on selecting Rippling, however, I've been very impressed as an end-user/employee. I'd like to learn more about their app …
