Rippling provides a higher-rated user experience
Rippling provides a consistent and intuitive interface across the platform, whether you are running payroll, requesting PTO, or creating a custom report. This allows admins and employees alike to get what they need more quickly. On the other hand, Workday’s interface has largely remained the same since the early 2000s, and the user experience is less consistent due to its 17 different acquisitions.

Rippling better enables dynamic changes with minimal administration work
On Rippling, you can easily make changes ranging from how an employee profile page looks to modifying an offboarding workflow for a specific team. Additionally, our granular, field-level permissions ensure that any changes can only be made by users with the right credentials. With Workday, the even simple changes can be complex and require waiting on third-party consultants or a dedicated internal team.

Rippling makes automating processes easier to save time and costs
Rippling makes automation easy and self-serviceable. Leverage out-of-the-box automations such as updated tax rates when an employee moves to a different state, or easily create custom workflows with our workflow builder. While Workday also offers automation, it can often feel like you need a PhD on Workday to create or make changes.

What ex-Workday users say
“[Rippling] is user friendly— with one click of a button I can get into all the Payroll info and other details such as W2s or 1099s... glad we switched from a more difficult system to navigate in Workday.”
