Employee Leave Management Software

While Rippling is incredibly powerful, it can definitely be a "double-edged sword." Here are a few things that users often find frustrating or challenging:

1. The "All-in-One" Complexity

Because Rippling tries to do everything (Payroll, IT, Benefits, Device Management), the interface can feel cluttered and overwhelming.

Finding a specific setting for something simple, like a timecard adjustment, can sometimes feel like a scavenger hunt through too many menus.

2. Implementation "Growing Pains"

Setting Rippling up correctly is a massive project.

If the initial setup (the "logic" of your company) isn't perfect, it can cause cascading errors. For example, if a permission is set wrong at the top level, it might accidentally block Anto from seeing Bianka’s timecards, and fixing it requires digging through deep administrative layers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can set up Automated Workflows (Recipes). For example: "If Anto hasn't approved Bianka's timecard by Friday at 4:00 PM, send her a Slack reminder." It does the "nagging" for you so you can focus on your actual wor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There have been a couple of things that I couldn't easily find (and still haven't), but it doesn't outweigh the positives. Some team members aren't qualified to bid on some shifts, but I can't figure out how to filter that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Connecteam makes scheduling a breeze, replacing my spreadsheet, and shows who can work. It makes it seamless for my team to know their shifts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally, the page takes too long to load. I swear my internet is dead. It just spins. I don’t like that I can’t view the exact date the money hits my bank account. It creates a lot of stress when rent is due. Also the support is simply a chatbot that emails me links to articles that I’ve already read which is very annoying as I just want to speak to someone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes it so I don’t have to send HR an email for every little thing which is great for both of us. I’m able to access my employee benefits and tax documents through it instead of digging through my cluttered download files and it also keeps all of the payroll related issues organized so I don’t have to spend time worrying if my hours were logged correctly.

Sometimes it's not updated as soon as I open it in the morning, but in 1 or 2 minutes it reloads and gets up-to-date data. It's not a big issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use HROne for attendance, leave, and HR tasks. It helps me see attendance, monitor leaves, and learn about organizational changes and new joiners. It's user-friendly, saves time, and reduces manual work with a clean UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Area of improvement: The EverythingBenefits area should really be evaluated. The EDI connection process could be easier. The Performance Review platform could be more intuitive. The workflow process required for this process is unreal. Not sure why the development team is not able to add commas to the dollar amounts on the Applicant Tracking platform. It looks very weird to enter a salary range of $150500 - $165900. It would look better with commas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All of the cases that we currently have open are current. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is that payouts can sometimes take longer compared to other platforms like Global66, where transfers may arrive the same day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deel HR simplifies global hiring and payments by removing the complexity around contracts, compliance, and international payouts. For me, this means getting paid reliably, managing everything in one place, and avoiding administrative friction when working with a U.S.-based company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing i strongly recommend to better improve automation/self service is to group the esigns. for example having esigns only available to admins and separate group of esigns available to employee/managers so they can trigger flows themselves to go down the approval flow without heavy admin. For example we would want employees to be able to trigger the confirmation of employment flow so they can self serve. This is really restrictive in terms of automation.

sometime implementation can be hard to understand we receive guides which have been powered by AI and recently one of our support tickets which was used in the response and took longer to resolve the problem.

The shout out feature needs improving to enable more sophisticated analytics on views, comments etc and to be able to report on these too in terms of an internal comms perspective Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All our performance management is now on Hi bob and we often get feedback how easy it is to use compared to the paper process before and all the information is stored with a progressive timeline.

Dashboards are great to give our exec leaders real time data of their division Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m generally liking BambooHR a lot. If I were to suggest an improvement, it would be around the time log or clocking-in feature where team members need to record their daily work hours. It would be great if there were an easier way to do this, maybe through a dedicated iOS app for MacBook or a widget, so the team wouldn’t have to log in to BambooHR every day just to start and stop their hours worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BambooHR brings my whole team into one place. In a company with 150+ employees, it’s essential that my specific team and direct reports are easy to manage, and BambooHR makes that simple. I can also view information on other teams across the company and see who will be out of the office, which is great for smoother cross-functional working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although it is a very comprehensive platform, Leapsome can seem a bit complex at first. As it brings together many modules (performance, OKRs, feedback, surveys, learning, analytics), the learning curve for new users — especially managers who do not use the tool daily — can be steeper than in simpler solutions.

Additionally, some workflows could be more intuitive or faster, especially when navigating between different modules or analyzing more detailed data. In larger companies, this sometimes creates the feeling that certain tasks require more clicks than necessary.

Finally, the level of customization and flexibility, although a strong point, can also make the initial setup more laborious, requiring greater involvement from the HR team to adjust cycles, templates, and permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Leapsome addresses several common challenges in people management by centralizing performance, goals, engagement, and development processes into a single connected platform. Before it, many organizations faced fragmented systems — one for performance reviews, another for climate surveys, another for OKRs, and so on — which hindered integrated visibility and consumed time from HR and leadership teams.

With Leapsome, these problems are mitigated because:

Review cycles and continuous feedback become more structured and automated, reducing manual work and ensuring that reviews are conducted on time and with higher quality.

Goal and OKR tracking is centralized and transparent, facilitating alignment between organizational, team, and individual objectives.

Engagement surveys and pulse surveys provide actionable insights into organizational climate, helping to identify areas for improvement before they become bigger problems.

The connectivity between modules transforms data into useful context, such as cross-referencing performance results with team sentiments or goal progress — strengthening data-driven HR decisions.

This benefit is reflected in greater operational efficiency, better employee engagement, and greater strategic alignment, as leaders and teams can conduct more frequent development conversations, clearer goals, and continuous improvement initiatives based on real metrics.

There were a lot of little things such as being able to pull multiple paychecks. The reps constantly changed and would reach out asking if you wanted to buy something or add something to your current product. PTO was a nightmare as far as setting up policies. Having a designated account manager is nice but it was often changed. Switching from Paylocity was not easy, there is not a lot Paylocity does to help with the transition. Workflows were also very difficult to use and manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At this time none of the problems we have had have been resolved which is one of the reasons we have moved away from Paylocity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, the interface seems somewhat basic and would benefit from additional customization options or automation features. Some functionalities also appear limited when compared to more robust HR tools. However, for everyday attendance and leave management, it serves its purpose effectively.

Keka addresses the difficulties of manual attendance tracking and leave management by minimizing errors and saving valuable time. It simplifies the process of clocking in and out, as well as handling leave requests, making everything more transparent and easier to oversee. Additionally, the birthday posts contribute positively to team morale and foster a better workplace culture. In summary, Keka keeps HR processes straightforward and efficient.

One challenge I’ve experienced with Forma is the quick turnaround required for certain requests or changes. At times, this makes it difficult to fully evaluate the potential impacts or coordinate internally before implementation. While I do appreciate the team’s responsiveness, having a bit more lead time in some situations. It would help administrators better support employees and ensure a smoother overall execution.

It’s a great perk that supports lifestyle spending for all employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After more than a year working with HR4 (so the honeymoon phase is over), we have no regrets. While there is nothing we dislike about HR4, I can say that the desktop application is preferred by many of our employees over the mobile app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been able to eliminate many of our traditional spreadsheets and processes. HR4 will allow us to be more efficient and will serve as an excellent communication tool. Employees love that they can submit time off requests directly through HR4 and that they can see for themselves their entitlement to things like sick days, vacation etc.

The reports and analytics app is amazing for reports that would have had to be "built" manually in the past, and I love that it integrates with our Payroll system which is a significant time saver for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We don't have any specific dislikes, but there are a few enhancements we would love to see:

1. Consolidation of Benefits: It would be fantastic if Kota could increase the range of benefits offered. It would be great if we could offer some additional benefits without having to find a different provider, such as cash plan medical, cycle to work, staff discounts, etc.

2. Global Office Management: We have offices in several countries, including Canada, the US, Malaysia, Australia, Mexico, and the UAE. It would be great if we could manage these international offices through Kota as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've integrated the Kota platform with our HR system, making enrolment a breeze. Now, we can easily see who is and isn't enrolled in one place.

Monthly invoicing helps manage our cash flow, and we can download member lists and invoices directly from the portal.

We're currently setting up our benefits on the Kota app and are excited to launch this to our staff. This will be our first opportunity to showcase our benefits in a comprehensive way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not experienced anything that i particularly dislike about Compt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compt solves many issues, for example often offices prefer to have a shared gym membership for the entire office, while instead Compt saves the company money in comparison while catering the each users personal needs. Whether it is a gym membership, yoga, hair salon fees, vet fees, making it much more diverse and allowing each user to cater to their own needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
