I prefer the functionality of a digital document signing tool over the built in one. > > Always fantastic. Great support when I need it. They make compliance and payroll processing quick and easy. It's the top solution I recommend for small and medium sized businesses who want to optimize their HR function. ----- ### "Rise professionalism and Ease of use." — 5.0/5 > **Melany** | *05 June 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Learning Curve for the new plateform is extremely quick. the ease in running reports makes tracking payroll and employee leave extremely easy and hands on. work scheduling and log in and out process ensures accuracy. 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. ----- ### "Grateful for the support\!" — 4.0/5 > **Stacey** | *18 June 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: \[sensitive content hidden\] has been so wonderful to work with.

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.

It is relatively cheap for the amount of power it has. ----- ### "Rise is a good fit for small business owners\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mairin** | *09 June 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.
