Once you've got your payroll set up properly, making changes as necessary is very straight forward. > > **Cons**: Pricing has gone up. I've been with Paysavvy/Rise for over a decade and there was a significant bump in the platform a few years ago. I only use the payroll and I'm a small business so the bang for the buck might be better for users that are able to better utilize more of the resources available. > > I've had great experience with the help desk. There are a few times when I can't get things setup as I need and the customer service agents have been very good at helping me get to where I need to be and showing me how to do it myself. ----- ### "The best payroll platform, hands down\!" — 5.0/5 > **Scott** | *8 June 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Rise is very cost effective, user friendly, and efficient. The team at Rise is also fantastic and eager to help should you ever run into problems. > > **Cons**: There really isn’t anything I dislike about rise. The platform is great and meets my needs. The reports could use some work, however I do know I could reach out to customer support and get support with that. > > I first started using Rise when it was still a free platform. After that tier was retired, we left for ADP in hopes of finding more value. Unfortunately that didn’t materialize and we returned to Rise particularly due to its cost effectiveness. There isn’t another option on the market that comes close to Rise in value and ease of use. ----- ### "Rise Review" — 5.0/5 > **Tanya** | *18 June 2026* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The system handles CRA remittances, T4s, and compliance smoothly, which takes a lot of stress off our team. The interface is clean and easy to use—running payroll and managing employee information is straightforward, even for non-experts. The employee self-service features are also a big plus, as staff can easily access their pay stubs and update their info without going through HR. Customer support has been responsive and helpful whenever we’ve had questions. Value for money is great. > > **Cons**: The platform could improve in terms of advanced reporting and customization. Reports are a little confusing and I do not particularly like their numbering system for payroll ie: 2026-11 etc. It would be much easier to have them listed by payroll date. > > We’ve had a great overall experience using Rise Payroll. It’s a solid all-in-one HR and payroll platform that’s especially well-suited for Canadian businesses. For small to mid-sized teams looking for a reliable and user-friendly payroll solution, Rise delivers well. We definitely recommend. ----- ### "Great HR and Payroll Platform for Growing Business" — 5.0/5 > **Elliot** | *17 June 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As an HR consultant, I appreciate how Rise simplifies payroll, HR, and employee management in one platform. It’s especially valuable for small to mid-sized companies looking to improve processes and reduce administrative workload. > > **Cons**: There can be a bit of a learning curve during setup, and some reporting/customization features feel limited for more complex organizations. Certain workflows still require manual workarounds. > > Overall, I’ve had a very positive experience with Rise and often recommend it to clients looking for a practical Canadian HR and payroll solution. It provides strong value and helps organizations build more efficient, streamlined people processes. ----- ### "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. ----- 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
