Payroll: it shows exactly what has changed for each individual from cycle to cycle, so I can easily flag any issues Reviews: Very easy to set up and to customize, and able to set different due dates for different aspects of the review process (and set different forward facing and internal due dates) Spend/Finance: Can't say enough about how nice it is to manage our credit cards, expenses, and reimbursements all from our HR platform. It's one of their newer offerings so there are improvements that could be made, but it's still a huge step up for us from how we were managing these, from both the admin side and employee user experience.
There's a lot of new updates that come out rapidly. Support is easy to get ahold of at the base level. Everything is pretty seamlessly integrated together so the systems can talk to each other well.
I love how customizable the Password management is, (RPass). You can organize through folders, tags, departments and vaults. Each password can have its own sharing permissions which is incredibly handy when managing passwords for departments and team. You can mark a password as Marketing and set up rules so that anyone who currently works in Marking has access. Really nice. The other IT management aspect that I really love is when hiring a new employee, I can auto create accounts for Basecamp, Trainual, Microsoft, NetSuite, etc. So handy.
The main issue we've encountered is in the Benefits module, and that we're not able to fully configure our medical insurance company contributions in the way that we want to. We've opted for a bandaid fix for now, which means that some employees' information is incorrect, and are really hoping that they make product changes before our next Open Enrollment cycle at the end of the year. Due to the contributions issue, I have to manually update payroll deductions. This hasn't been quite as smooth as it should be, and there have been some challenges getting the Benefits deductions area to correctly sync with Payroll. We've opted not to connect our company email with Rippling, and because we're not using that feature, it's not allowing us to enter work email addresses at all in individual's profiles. It's not a huge issue, but is inconvenient. Our implementation manager said that there should be a way to fix this, but our account manager wasn't able to provide much guidance so I haven't looked into it further.
Cost was probably the first thing. It was hard to land a realistic understanding of the costs and get a viable quote since we were told everything was custom so the price really depending on small aspects of what we wanted to add or didnt want to add. Also, the frequent updates were good, but many times they rolled out so quickly they were prone to bugs and problems requiring rollback or odd work arounds. Also while support is great, our subject matter experts often seemed to get moved elsewhere or left the company resulting in larger initiatives always feeling like we were starting over.
When you forget your password for Rippling or Rpass, and you reset it, you lose all of your RPass personal vault passwords. That's a huge risk! I've recommended to my team to save every password in the company vault and just be strict with the permissions because I would hate to spend hours putting passwords in and if I for some reason need to reset my password, all that work is gone. I understand it's a security thing, but I wish there was a workaround. Our Basecamp integration keeps disconnecting and not allowing me to reconnect. So seems there's a bit of an issue with syncing with certain integrations. I also wish I could have more vaults in Rpass. We have a lot of hands on our team so it would be nice for an extra layer of organization.
