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. ----- ### "Great Program\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mike** | *September 18, 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Comparing Rise to our previous payroll program, Rise is much more user friendly. It is easy and intuitive to use and it isnt complicated to generate a payrun. > > **Cons**: Well its difficult to complain about a system that is several steps above our previous payroll program. > > From first contact, to implementation, to going live was relatively easy. Our previous payroll system was overly complicated and stressful to use due to so many steps to generate a payrun. There is none of that with Rise. Using Rise is simple and straight forward. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Amazing Payroll" — 5.0/5 > **Carlton** | *June 17, 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Rise has been a great experience overall. The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it simple to stay on top of tasks and deadlines. I especially appreciated how it streamlined communication and collaboration across the team, keeping everything organized in one place. The interface is clean and user-friendly, which made the onboarding process smooth and reduced the learning curve significantly. > > **Cons**: At times, the platform could feel a bit overwhelming with the number of features and options available, making it difficult to know where to start. Occasionally, navigation between different sections felt slightly unintuitive, and it took some time to find specific settings or tools. Some additional customization options and a more streamlined interface in certain areas would go a long way in improving the overall experience. > > Its has been amazing. I use it for payroll for my business and ever since i signed up it has been working wonders for tracking reports and conducting pay runs. It is relatively cheap for the amount of power it has. ----- ### "Rise always rises to the occasion\!" — 4.0/5 > **Theresa** | *September 10, 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a first time employer, I needed help understanding my responsibilities with regard to payroll reporting, deductions, completing pay runs and closing the year and the team at Rise has been helpful, patient and always helps me solve my issues. > > **Cons**: I've been terrible at meeting the payroll deadline especially on Mondays or after a long weekend and while Rise always ensures my payroll gets approved, one thing that would help me is if it were easier to use on my phone. > > I've been a customer for about 6 years and I feel that I get great value from their services. I feel very fortunate to have such a great company helping me with an essential part of my business. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2051151/rise?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2051151/rise) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
