Read full review Very good for learning and development and training of employees. For Applicant tracking, recuirement, onboarding, and enablement, I prefer
SAP SuccessFactors or Skillate. I also found that the SumTotal app is not very friendly on android and crashes sometimes and it is not optimized for mobile. Hence I end up never using it.

Single location for multiple functions. This is great for me as there is one central hub for all professional admin matters.

Export learner's transcripts so managers can easily see their employee's progress. Embed Social Media feeds that are relevant to their business. Read full review Cons 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.

Read full review I do not find SumTotal to be intuitive. I feel we need to adjust our needs to meet the functionality available in the tool.

Also things seemed to lag and was not very up to date when it needed to be. I feel rippling has simplified their processes
Read full review When I came to my company, they had been using a "light" LMS called Articulate. It was cheap and bare bones; i.e. not a lot of features, really just a platform to launch eLearning from and not real interface for student to utilize. When I began to overhaul the training department, this was one of the first things I changed. Articulate would only run courses built in their software, and the software was not 508 compliant. In addition, we had no ability to create learning plans, house transcripts, customize the interface, or manage the students. I made the choice to select and LMS that was a true LMS with all of the features that were critical to our clients' needs. Thus far, SumTotal has been able to support all of our needs, except one; mobile learning that is media rich
