Likelihood to Recommend
Rippling
Rippling is highly effective for managing personal clock-in and clock-out times, as well as for requesting time off. It provides a convenient overview of remaining paid time off hours, streamlining the process compared to the previous method of emailing HR and waiting for a response. Now, I can independently handle all these tasks. Tracking my requests is straightforward, and the interface makes it easy to monitor everything. One aspect I find less favorable is that, when reviewing my team's hours, the platform displays the clock-in and clock-out times but lacks precision by not showing the exact minutes taken, which could be an improvement.

SAP SuccessFactors works great for big companies, over 5 thousand employees to ballpark a number. For smaller businesses, I am not sure if the cost is worth it or ideal for them. Succession tracking is a great experience. I have a need to ease the tracking of performance for operators in the system, and based on SAP SuccessFactors' design, I am not able to accommodate a very antic and classic performance appraisal approach.

Pros
Rippling
  • Clean UI - there is no ambiguity about what function each button will perform.
  • Very easy to navigate. It is not difficult to find what is being looked for.
  • Single location for multiple functions. This is great for me as there is one central hub for all professional admin matters. Saving me valuable time that I can better spend on more pressing work matters.

Cons
Rippling
  • The immediate learning curve of working with workflows and recipes
  • Building Reports from scratch can be fairly tedious and time consuming. Not streamlined because of having to drill down click by click.
  • I am still mystified by all of the formulas that can be used to make custom reports. Rippling is robust and it takes a lot to learn what it can really do.

  • The whole software is not user friendly from and admin side.
  • A lot of our problems have stemmed from our implementation partner not having the knowledge and experience we needed.
  • Updates to the system have been made and it’s affected too many entities in our learning module. Settings to previous uploads needed to be changed, the previous settings applied did not work the same, etc. constant updates are needed.

Rippling continues to innovate and amaze me with their new innovations and features. Product feedback is taken seriously so I always give it whenever I can and end up seeing results.

Usability
Rippling
Great product, easy to use. We've had great employee buy in at this point, and want to continue to partner with Rippling to make the live of our employees easier, more productive, and get them back to the professional roles they are good at, while offering the administrative support they need through an HRIS.

Reliability and Availability
Rippling
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.

Until now we have not had serious availability problems with SuccessFactors, we had Microsoft Active Directory and SSO with ADFS and we had availability problems but because of problems with ADFS, we migrated to Azure AD and with that the availability problems of SuccessFactors because of ADFS went away. The only windows of unavailability that we have had are those that we are communicated to do maintenance and upgrades.

Performance
Rippling
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.

The performance is very good, the truth is that we have not had serious performance problems, some complex reports may take a little longer, but considering the complexity and the amount of records it is an acceptable time. We have never received a complaint from users regarding page loading speed.

Support Rating
Rippling
Overall customer support for Rippling have been excellent anytime that I have emailed. Their team responds usually within the day and have a great explanation on the issue and the recommendation on how to proceed going forward. I feel that the person that responds actually have a vested interest and truly cares about the issue/problem that you have.

SuccessFactors Employee Central gets a middle of the road rating from me because of the things it does really well - Training. It falls short with the objectives cascade and visibility amongst my reports. That's what brings it down to a 5. Objectives need to be clear and concise in order to gain buy-in from your reports, and SuccessFactors muddies that by poor delineation between cascaded attributes and my report's objectives. The whole objectives cascade can be reworked.

Rippling is way more user friendly and easy to use. The layout is completely streamlined. I've never had trouble finding and accessing anything I've needed through Rippling either on the online portal or through the app. Time off requests weren't something my previous company even utilized on HR platforms because it wasn't available

The recruiting module is much more user friendly than our prior system that was Taleo. Taleo had to many actions that required the recruiters to go from one system to another. We tracked that there were 117 steps that the recruiter had to make from beginning of req to its completion.
