User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Degreed Inc.
Degreed is a software that is undoubtedly worth integrating in companies that plan or require the teaching of new topics and material to their employees. This platform is very easy to use, the interface is easy to use and provides detailed information on the learning that each of the employees has had, these learning details can be viewed by accessing the profile section of each employee. Degreed allows you to share strategic material with employees in the form of a "playlist" so that they can learn in an order of all the information. In addition, it allows you to create all kinds of certifications to provide employees with certificates based on behavior, evidence and approvers. These three certification phases make it possible to verify the information learned by the employee, in addition, they allow it to be known how much he has learned and what skills he has developed during that learning period. Without a doubt, Degreed is the best option for all companies that want to add learning content for their employees.

Rippling has helped our Onboarding process so much, especially with workflows and reports, and we love that everything is housed in one place. We've also utilized Headcount Planning and Compensation Bands to help establish roles and organizational charts as we anticipate growth. We are slowly utilizing more of the Performance Management tools like Goals and Surveys, which have proven helpful. We have not yet utilized the Contractor Hub, but I'm hoping that will happen soon because that would help us so much!

  • They don't have a way to add or remove new services outside of a full contract change.
  • Their inventory management warehouse is helpful but doesn't allow for the shipment of devices between people; they are only shipped to the warehouse and then to another employee.
  • Integration changes can require a complete setup to use the new integration vs having a migration option.

Rippling is easy to use. There are one or two hiccups in the application that prevent me from rating it a 10. This is mostly a few parts of the application where you can't go back or exit a page to correct a setting and instead have to complete the section then delete or re-enter the correct information from the beginning.

I like that the availability in using Rippling at any given time is useful to me. Getting on the site freely when I need gives me security of knowing that I can be in control of viewing health insurance and hours information. I have yet to get any errors in using the Rippling app.

Rippling's performance has been great, no errors or glitches yet so far. I am confident that Going from one page to the next and all its complexity usage does not lag or times out, it works effectively and efficiently. While using Rippling and other apps it does not tend to slow it down, works great. No complaints.

Anytime I have contacted customer service, whether it be our customer service representative or an agent with a specific department, my questions have been answered. I am so appreciative of the "check-ins" that our customer service rep provides to make sure that everything we are using with Rippling is still functioning properly and meeting our needs.

Alternatives Considered
Degreed Inc.
I think that in a business setting, Degreed is more streamlined to benefit us than almost any other tool. Canvas is great in higher/lower education where the learning is the actual product. In a business setting, tools like Degreed and Bridge do a wonderful job helping our employees build and show their own ROI to upper management.

I can go on here and see all my hours and pto plus health benefits. I like to have the work handbook handy to refer to legal things. How to work my role within it's limits. Being able to put in my hours and view when they are approved is a huge benefit for me.

Return on Investment
Degreed Inc.
  • Our employees were able to develop new skills and new talents that allowed them to have better productivity and could develop better activities within our labor sector.
  • We have saved money on the learning material compartment. We used to spend a lot of money on material for our employees, but the courses Degreed offers are at a more affordable price.
  • The socialization of our employees has improved significantly. Thanks to the "community" system that Degreed offers, our employees can discuss learning topics while taking a course or watching a video.
