Rippling integrates fully with key 3rd party applications
Paycom severely limits your ability to integrate with third-party applications. Data can be pushed out from Paycom, but typically data from third-party applications cannot be pushed into Paycom. This drawback disconnects your employee data from other systems, limiting everything from data quality to workflows to reports.

What ex-Paycom users say
“This is a closed system and I have yet to determine a consistent answer on their API functionality. As best I can determine, they will allow API's but at your own peril and without any support from Paycom. How does a product or service function in this day and age with that model? There are no functioning integrations as best as I can determine.”
