“I've used Gusto, BambooHR, and Namely over the last 5 years. The problem was that none of them integrated all aspects of HRIS well. Rippling has been an absolute game-changer ... This is by far the BEST HRIS system in the world right now.”

“The data was there, but it was spread across multiple tools. It was a very tedious process to bring it to a consolidated executive-level report.”
Colin John
IT Operations Manager at Clariti
“Consolidating everything onto Rippling meant our small operations team could handle hyper-growth without constantly hiring.”

Why switch to Rippling?
All-in-one platform
Rippling unifies HR, Payroll, IT, and Finance in a single system - so you can hire globally, run compliant payroll, manage devices, and control access from one place. Unlike BambooHR, which is limited to HR, Rippling gives you the infrastructure to scale worldwide, including payroll, benefits admin, LMS, Spend and IT management, without stitching together siloed tools.
Global-ready from day one
Expanding overseas? Rippling lets you hire, onboard, and pay employees or contractors in 185+ countries with built-in compliance and no local entity required. BambooHR is built around the US market and depends on external partners for international payroll and hiring.
Powerful automation
Unlike BambooHR, Rippling automates admin work from day one. From PAYE and compliance workflows to onboarding and payroll sequences, everything is built to scale as your business grows. BambooHR does not offer compliance tracking worldwide and does not support payroll outside of the US.
Built-in IT and device management
Need to assign apps or ship laptops to new starters? With Rippling, it is built in. Instantly provision or remove devices and permissions without separate IT tools or manual workarounds, unlike BambooHR.
Rippling integrates with more third-party apps
Rippling connects with over 650 applications, far more than BambooHR. Because Rippling is also an identity provider, integrations run deeper, letting you sync data across tools like Google Workspace, Microsoft Teams, and Jira.

"The interface is really clean and functional. The benefits enrollment process was literally the best I have ever experienced — much better than BambooHR, Zenefits, Workday."
