    Rippling
    My favorite feature of Rippling is its ability to integrate HR, IT, payroll, and device management under one hood. It's especially convenient when handling the onboarding process. you hire an employee, give him/her access to your system, enroll into payroll, and provide devices. Automation in approval processes, provisioning, and other compliance-related activities is pretty strong.

    Works great as a 2FA token, for endpoint control, for computer and server updates, for scheduling updates, and for patching security features when exploits become known. Remote connection is very reliable and doesn't drop in and out as many programs do. It may not be as appropriate if you are looking for a plug-and-play control, as it requires more learning and setup to get it set up correctly.

    Cons
    Rippling
    • Timecards are a bit clunky to enter lunches & breaks without creating multiple clocked-in times for a given day which drives higher approval burden for approvers
    • Mobile app authentication is a bit clunky signing in then going to the web sign-in then authenticating on my device then finally into the app
    • We could not figure out how to allow employees to schedule PTO before they had accrued it (earn X days per month throughout the year).

    • Email support is SLOW unless I want to allow a stranger to access my production firewall. That is never allowed here, so our hands are tied in terms of being able to get support in less than 48 hours.
    • Again, support takes far too long because you refuse to employ any staff that works in US time zones during normal business hours.
    • There has to be another option besides: 1) you take full control of my systems or 2) I wait on SLOW email support that isn't that great.

    Today to ensure our ISO 27001 certification it is important that we maintain this solution. Today it is part of the way any employee within the organization works, we no longer have any other way of working and it is the simplest way to ensure that access to the workstation is done with MFA.

    Rippling is modern in design and offers a host of features that any business needs to operate efficiently. The feature set in the device management, in particular, stands out as an easy way to assign, maintain, identify, and track lost devices across tablets, phones, and computers.

    After initial setup, it practically runs itself. Onboarding new users is fast and easy as it should be. The AuthPoint mobile app is small and simple to use. The only reason I do not give it a 10 is that I frequently get complaints from end users that the AuthPoint app is "constantly downloading". In fact, it's not downloading anything and that what the users are seeing in the app is a timer for the 6-digit code that changes every minute.

    As mentioned, Rippling has been very helpful to me and this is one of the best application I used so far! I can use the app even if my eye is closed, everything is good and using this for almost a year I didn't experienced any delay or error. The best!

    WatchGuard support is always quick and reliable. They have urgency levels that you are able to select when creating your support ticket, and they respond in accordance to the severity that you have set. I have never had an issue with getting someone on the phone in the same business day, even for very low priority issues.

    the first time it takes more effort. It is helpful to already understand how each authentication type works. Then it's much easier to understand the MFA solution that you implement. It is useful to check the release notes from time to time and update the key parts of the Watchguard Authpoint. Authpoint Gateway, Logon App, RDWeb... Also, it's useful to set up notifications when something goes wrong or sometimes check the statistics of how many requests are being approved/denied, etc.

    Even better than my experience with Concur for ease of expense entry and approval. With Rippling, a large part of my expense is already filled out by the software when the charge hits for vendors it recognizes and by checking my history, which greatly minimizes redundant entry and time wasted. Easy to scan receipt and have much of the data filled in from the receipt recognition tech.

    I would slot Authpoint (as a product) as better than ESET but not Duo. ESET has the same limitations as Watchguard in the OTP support. It also is an on-prem installed console rather than a cloud, which increases cost and maintenance requirements. The duo now supports standard OTP for admin accounts, so it can be managed by a team. Duo support however leaves a lot to be desired and gives Watchguard the edge

    • Rippling streamlines the entire onboarding and offboarding process. As soon as a new employee signs their offer, we can automatically provision apps (like Slack and Google Workspace), assign devices, and complete tax and compliance forms.
    • It enhances IT and data security
    • The system handles tax filings, deductions, and compliance effortlessly.

    • We currently have 300 users on Authpoint, and most of them use insecure passwords. Authpoint gives us peace of mind that we don't have to police individual employee passwords.
    • In line with the comment above, with so many people in our organization using insecure passwords, I'm sure that Authpoint has already saved us from many potential security breaches.
    • Security breaches can cost a lot of money. Preventing them saves the company money and helps to achieve our bottom line.
