I can't believe I'm about to defend a HR payroll systems.... but I wouldn't call Rippling or Deel "crapware". We use both; they're boring but necessary products, and they do their job well.

[Edit: Added Deel, since we use both! Also hello to the Rippling salesperson who is reading this and is about to reach out to me to convince us to switch.]



I think it's Deel that they're calling crapware, because they have to resort to such practices as these


We use Deel, too, and it's not "crap" either. It's boring but that's somewhat the point... how "differentiated" can a payroll system get?

(Also, it's hard to call Deel undifferentiated since they were first to market on this product.)
