Running payroll reports is quick and the ability to tailor reports for different needs is exceptional and easy for staff to get their own paystubs works very well. Working with the Rise team representatives has been very positive. All agents\\representatives are friendly, and professional. The time to receive call back and resolve issue far exceeds the other payroll systems I have worked with in the past 30 yrs. Best money spent for the service received\! > > **Cons**: I have not found anything at this point that I can criticize. Every issue I have encountered has been quickly resolve. > > Excellent. All communications have been positive and dealt with in a professional manner by the representatives. If there is an issue that needs further investigation "in the background" of the program has been dealt with quickly. the response time is better than I have ever had with any of the other programs I have worked with. ----- ### "Happy User; from 2022 and ongoing" — 5.0/5 > **Carrie** | *5 June 2026* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it's a Canadian company, to start. When I need help right away and can't wait for a ticket to be processed (which is still fast by the way\!) I can call in and reach someone locally. I also appreciate the seamless integration of the Time Off, Scheduling + Time Approval, and Payroll modules. They work perfectly for us. The work schedule is easy to create, the Locations geofencing shows where my staff clock in and out at multiple sites, the time entries are easy to track and approve in the attendance module, and staff can easily request time off in the system as it's very intuitive for them. > > **Cons**: While the system is designed for use with a physical timeclock, it does not work well with physical timeclock units. The data gets lost at times - employees clocked in, the system noted their timeclock activity, but in the time approval module, I don't see their activity. As well as they are eventually phasing out the timeclock, and currently there is no app developed to use for my team to access their profile to clock their shifts without logging into their FULL personal profile on a public computer. Not everyone wants to download an app for their job to their personal phone, and this is where the system is not ideal for my operations. > > I think one thing that really stands out is the service of the support team. They are understanding when I mess up, they're helpful when I'm lost and asking \>PAINFULLY\< obvious questions, and are quick to respond, even if it's a "we got your ticket and I'm looking into it as soon as I can". Second to that is the Knowledge Center. From there I can search common issues, look at my past tickets (in case they answered something before that I need to revisit, and don't have to dig through my emails). From there, we have a contract for all the modules, and they're customizable, easy to manage (and when they're not - Back to how awesome the support team is). Finally, one piece that stands out overall for me, Rise is constantly growing, taking my suggestions - ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTING THEM\! and remaining competitive in a market that looks like it changes constantly. ----- ### "controller" — 5.0/5 > **Holly** | *5 June 2026* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We like the amount of control that we have over all aspects of HR management and payroll. We find that the value for the cost is excellent. > > **Cons**: I really don't have anything that I dislike. But users should expect that with a significant piece of software, a lot of time is needed to be invested in the transition. We were probably upwards of 5 or 6 months in before we had a really good handle on the program and more like a full year in before we had a full understanding of the HR capability. > > We have had very good support from the team from training how to use the software as well as from the help desk when we have had issues. The transition has been about as smooth as can be expected. We find the capacity for HR information and data management is limitless. While the core HR details are prescribed, there is ample flexibility in other areas that allow us to trap all of our HR data in one program. ----- ### "Excellent Canadian Based Payroll Product with NPI Trained Support" — 5.0/5 > **Penny** | *24 September 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. ----- ### "Great Program\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mike** | *18 September 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. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/163570/rise?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/163570/rise) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
