The design is simple. If you're looking for a complex or beautiful platform, this isn't it. However, Skilljar makes things very easy to follow and build within.
Navigating Skilljar is very logical. it is easy to set up a new course and navigate within that course.

Cons

[The ability to have] any authenticator app can be used for login, not just Google Authenticator.
[I would like it if it] included a tutorial or walkthrough of the website for new users.
[There is] a few too many emails so far, [I would like the ability to] auto-set task reminders to monthly, not daily.

It would be nice for a learner to instantly know which courses they are enrolled in.
Analytics are decent, but I rely on other data management tools to share with others.
It would be great to be able to include rich media files such as videos inside of text lessons.

Because it is through my current job I would recommend it to other friends with businesses both large and small. It is an easy to use app and it is super helpful and beneficial for time tracking and ensuring accuracy of the time clock. It notifies you when you are close to your allotted PTO limit which is also a neat feature.

Usability

Rippling 8.8

Based on 135 answers

Rippling has a very user-friendly and intuitive user interface. The system layout is very logical and easy to use. The payday emails are fun and provide useful links to review your paystub. Employee onboarding, maintenance, and offboarding are easy to navigate. Reporting is configurable enough to get what you need.

They've got some work to do in the content authoring space, along with providing SCORM packages. Otherwise, the platform does a good job providing us with analytics which we greatly appreciate!

Rippling 8.3

Based on 116 answers

It's user-friendly, clear and concise, and informative. I loved how quickly it was to sign up, login, enroll in my benefits, review my benefits, submit my time off requests, see my time off requests that've been approved, and access the employee handbook information. I also loved that when I moved and needed to go in and change my address, it was done effortlessly.

Skilljar’s customer support team is completely invested in the success of their customers. We felt very supported from the first day of on-boarding onward. Our regular check-in calls were very helpful for us--they allowed us to bring any issues to the surface and they worked through them with us on the spot. They often suggested new workflows based on specific use cases as well as improvements to existing workflows.

Alternatives Considered

Bamboo, in all fairness, was another great internal platform that my last company used to track benefits. I [enjoyed] Bamboo, but Rippling is much easier to use, and I like how you can navigate through the platform faster. I also like the added alerts [...] Rippling provides to your email notifying you of when you get paid, any changes made to your account, etc.

I truly feel Litmos and Skilljar are pretty much the same. Skilljar was actually not as cost-effective as Litmos, but not a dramatic difference at all. I think it comes done to an individual or team preference. Both products did a fine job from my perspective.

Return on Investment

Unsure of how much we paid to use Rippling, but I do know we are paying far less for health insurance with better policies
Being able to have each employee in the same place for mandatory trainings is easier to keep track of.
Always super simple to find my 401k contribution and change when needed

Externally, our clients are able to sign up for training and complete a structured learning path to learn our product, as well as be able to refer back to the structured/organized training materials when needed. It's been widely adopted among our client base which certainly takes less time ($$) from our AM's when it comes to training.
Internally, our training is viewed as much more efficient. Just that, in itself, shows ROI in terms of time spent training as well as employee retention. (Note: I haven't looked at data to see if employee retention is better - just speculating here.)
