## Reviews

### "Best Customer Support I've Encountered" — 5.0/5

> **Nick** | *June 27, 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: In the event that I've had an issue, Rise's customer support has responded to and solved the issue within a day or two at most.
> 
> **Cons**: Mobile functionality needs some love. It's almost completely unusable from my phone.
> 
> Payroll management is a breeze. We're just starting to use their recruiting and onboarding system and it's fantastic. If you hate doing things manually, Rise's platform will be your new best friend.

### "Excellent Canadian Based Payroll Product with NPI Trained Support" — 5.0/5

> **Penny** | *September 24, 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of processing payroll and the excellent customer support from a Canadian team certified by the National Payroll Institute, the customizability of the program
> 
> **Cons**: The time approval module requires missed shifts to be removed, rather than classified to a reason code and kept for reporting purposes
> 
> Our implementation process was fantastic; we spent months with ADP working on their implementation and it failed miserably. Rise worked with us to get the implementation done in roughly 2 weeks and every pay we have processed has been easy.

### "A+ Payroll System" — 5.0/5

> **Andrew** | *June 5, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I don't have any accounting background/training and it was a simple straightforward system to pick up.
> 
> **Cons**: Was intimidating at first but once you use it a bit the system becomes second nature. End of year is always challenging for me with no accounting background.
> 
> Wonderful experience right from the onset. Great value for the money and the company is ever expanding and improving.

### "Room for Improvement" — 3.0/5

> **Katrina** | *July 21, 2022* | Wine & Spirits | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that it is a whole program, meaning admins and employees can go to one spot to get information, and you do not have to deal with multiple platforms and programs. The KB articles are wonderful resources to use to solve problems/issues without having to send in a ticket. However there is still room for improvement, with the functionality of the the various modules speaking to each other. Also needs some simple fixes, like the calendar having a choose the date instead of scrolling month by month; but overall its a great program.
> 
> **Cons**: The reporting feature within payroll is very complicated, hard to pull data that we need so we end up having to create our own reports. Some of the modules do not speak to each other; changing a start date doesnt flow over the compensation start dates, onboarding defaults to work email and phone number when should go to personal; calendars are tedious as you cant choose a date, but need to scroll month by month. Its definitely a work in progress with areas to improve quite easily.
> 
> RISE has taken away alot of manual tracking and spreadsheets so it saves time for the HR team and managers with admin tasks. Employees are more in control of their information, and can make changes/requests very easily. The tech team seems to move a bit slow, and not sure if its due to lack of staff or a high number of service tickets, but it can be a bit frustrating waiting for a resolution for 7-15 business days.

### "Rise is a good fit for small business owners\!" — 5.0/5

> **Mairin** | *June 9, 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I switched to Rise (before it was Rise) coming from many years of tedious manual payroll operations for my small business. It was a game changer, and recaptured hours of my time that can be used more productively.
> 
> **Cons**: I have been with Rise through some early growing pains, but even as a small business owner I am impressed that my concerns have always been taken seriously.
> 
> Overall as a service provided Rise has been excellent, and they continue to innovate and improve their suite of services.
