Launch Rippling ↗

Rippling is the most technologically advanced workforce platform ever built—saving IT and HR ops teams hundreds of hours by tying identity, laptops, and payroll to a single employee record.

✦ Key Capabilities & Strengths

✓ Onboarding magic: hiring an engineer in HR automatically runs payroll, ships a pre-configured MacBook, and provisions GitHub/Slack/AWS access in 90 seconds
✓ Offboarding revokes SSO sessions, locks laptops, and calculates final pro-rata PTO payout in one click
✓ Eliminates the need for standalone Okta ($6/user) and Jamf/Kandji ($8/device) subscriptions
✓ Custom Report Builder joins HR compensation data with IT app usage and corporate card spend

⚠ Platform Trade-offs

✕ Opaque quote-based modular pricing makes initial cost comparison harder than Gusto
✕ Overkill for small 5-person teams that only need basic domestic W-2 payroll
✕ Implementation of full HR + IT + Finance modules takes 2–4 weeks
