    Rippling
    Chose Rippling
    I think Rippling has a much better user interface than Zenefits. Once we transitioned to Rippling, there was an immediate improvement in quality. It is not to say that Zenefits or TriNet are not solid competitors or behind the times but, in my opinion, Rippling is just a step …

    Chose Rippling
    Rippling provides a higher level of customization and flexibility compared to Gusto. Including workflows, and reporting. Rippling provides a robust self-service portal where employees can manage their own benefits, time off, and other HR-related tasks that I haven't found as …

    Chose Rippling
    I recently moved an employer/company to Rippling from TriNet. The experience has been oustanding and this employer is very happy with the move to Rippling. The service support from TriNet is severely lacking and it is very difficult for employers and employees to get any …

    Chose Rippling
    We’ve used both ADP TotalSource and TriNet in the past, and while they got the job done, Rippling represents a major leap forward in several key areas. The ease of use is night and day—Rippling’s platform is intuitive and modern, making it much simpler to manage payroll, …

    Chose Rippling
    Rippling has a way better UI and is easier to work with compared to these other products. I hope our company considers implementing the features of Expensify (for reimbursement) and Navan (for travel) into Rippling as I have had issues with both of those products and imagine …

    Chose Rippling
    Rippling was recommended by one of my mentors and used at my previous company. We migrated off Gusto for one main reason - the increased options for benefits coverage were much more attractive for a growing company with employees in different parts of the US. I haven't used TriN…

    Rippling's customer service far exceeds TriNet and Lever.
    Rippling's cost is fair for all value provided.

    Zenefits was great for awhile, but we did feel we outgrew them as an organization.We have over 270 employees now and will be continuing to grow in HC for the perpetual future. Rippling is able to grow with us and also take us there. We can scale our processes and automate and …

    Chose Rippling
    the company that I work for decided to change the platform from Zenefits to Rippling. In the beginning the transition was a bit off, because I was used to a different platform but once I got the hang of it, I can say that I'm pleased with Rippling.

    Chose Rippling
    Rippling blows these other platforms away. We selected Rippling because it enabled us to consolidate platforms and pay FTEs and contractors overseas and domestically all from the same platform while offering the ability to customize pay cycles. This along with the App Store for …

    Chose Rippling
    Very similar to Zenefits. Actually, Rippling is identical. One great thing that Rippling does in comparison is that the enrollment process is significantly easier for things such as benefits. Gusto did not explain things as well as Rippling. I prefer the app structure in …

    Chose Rippling
    In my opinion Rippling blows Zenefits out of the water. There is no comparison. We used Zenefits for years and they drove us out by reducing features while increasing fees I found. From my point of view, it very limited platform compared to Rippling.

    Rippling is much more comprehensive. The IT integration is outstanding and provides a huge benefit.

    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
    In comparison to Paychex Flex, ADP and Zenefits, I think Rippling is designed with an edge of modernity. Rippling's features are more relevant and up-to-date. The platform is designed in a way that is straightforward and easy to use. So far I haven't been confused as to where …

    Chose Rippling
    Rippling is the 2020's version of Zenefits, more integrated into the business admin environment and so much more than a payroll system.
    Incentivized
    Chose Rippling
    I would say Zenefits is a better product, the UX is better and offers same features. Zenefits beats out rippling with their mobile app. Zenefits app makes it easy for me to clock in and out and adjust my timecard. Adjusting your timecard in rippling is confusing at first …

    Chose Rippling
    Rippling is far more cost-effective than Zenefits or TriNet and far easier for an administrator to navigate. TriNet is ridiculously difficult to navigate and hard to train other admins on once you finally figure it out. Zenefits messed up our benefits and dropped employees from …
    Incentivized
    Chose Rippling
    Zenefits was great, but again Rippling is just more inclusive for everything. We used Zenefits for just our benefits (medical, dental, vision, etc.), but not everything else like PTO, which was on a separate app. We needed something that could include everything "HR" related …

    TriNet
    Chose TriNet HR Plus
    Zenefits felt like a better fit than Rippling because the IT procurement process felt designed for a smaller organization for us.
    Otherwise, the tools felt comparable & could deliver on their promises.

    Chose TriNet HR Plus
    TriNet HR Platform provides full PEO services and functionality at the best price for a company of our size. The added functions of expense, time entry, ATS, performance, and learning/training are nice perks as well.
