Overall Satisfaction with Rippling

I use Rippling mainly for the LMS function, which allows us to create e-learning content for our staff, and gives us one source of truth for all media, video, webinar, and e-learning content. I worked on setting up the LMS part of the system and would use it to build e-learning daily for different departments in the business and for onboarding new team members.

Pros

  • It is really easy to navigate, I barely needed instruction on how to do things in it as it is very intuitive.
  • Ease of workflow mapping, it was easy to have emails auto-generated to our staff regarding their eLearn content or compliance requirements.
  • Onboarding was made much easier with the workflows, auto emails sent at different points in the onboarding process, ensuring everything gets done to prepare the company to accept the new hire and to inform the new hire of what to expect.

Cons

  • The overall look and feel of Rippling is dated; it looks like it's straight out of the 00's.
  • The could be more functionality in the LMS, expanded features, more options, it works, and it's basic, but it could be really great with a few added features.
  • The shift from using people's personal email to log in to their work email, not everyone wants to use their personal information to log into a work system.
  • It has made onboarding new staff much quicker, easier, and more efficient. Saving time and money with hiring managers and HR staff.
  • It has cut down the time required for HR/TA staff to handhold new team members in their new role.
  • It has given us a place for one source of truth when it comes to video or learning content, meaning we can grandfather other systems we were using for that.
Rippling far outshines Employment Hero from an LMS perspective; the EH LMS is really bad and has very little functionality, as well as being completely user-unfriendly. The UE is much better with Rippling, no more searching for things that are in obscure places or running reports that need refining to the extreme.
From what I gather, we had constant assistance from the Rippling team, weekly catch-ups, and ad hoc ones, too, which helped in the implementation process, as well as great customer support when required via email.

Do you think Rippling delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Rippling's feature set?

Yes

Did Rippling live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Rippling go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Rippling again?

Yes

It is easily the most user-friendly UI/UX. Everything does what it says it will do and is in the right place. It's set up perfectly for anyone to use, whatever level of experience they have with HRIS systems.
Hmmm, this is a tricky one, as I was only really in charge of the LMS function. It is very well suited in the LMS section for a business that just needs basic e-learning building and a repository for company video content, a go-to for all things learning and education.
