Rise worked with us to get the implementation done in roughly 2 weeks and every pay we have processed has been easy. ----- ### "I Recommend Rise - Give it a Try\!" — 5.0/5 > **Bev** | *June 5, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The onboarding to this payroll system was seamless, due to the solid tech support. Our payroll is now simplified, and the fee is reasonable. We like the professionalism that comes with using a payroll company, and - as a business owner myself - I like to support local businesses\! > > **Cons**: I have no complaints\! I appreciate the automaticity, and my staff like getting the auto-deposits every two weeks. > > It's been a great experience from the start\! We appreciated the tech support to familiarize ourselves with this service. We plan to use Rise long term\! ----- ### "Rise is a good fit for small business owners\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mairin** | *June 9, 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. It was a game changer, and recaptured hours of my time that can be used more productively. > > **Cons**: I have been with Rise through some early growing pains, but even as a small business owner I am impressed that my concerns have always been taken seriously. > > Overall as a service provided Rise has been excellent, and they continue to innovate and improve their suite of services. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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.capterra.ca/software/163570/rise?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/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
