Overall Satisfaction with Rippling

We use Rippling as our HR tool. We use it as a system of record for staff and to control onboarding/offboarding and ensure compliance and control of access. We use some of the training options, mostly to control other 3rd party training options we have; with Rippling, we can have one training console for admins rather than 3 or 4. It keeps training simple.

Pros

  • Simple and clean interface (just the buttons you need).
  • Can administer many 3rd party training platforms.
  • Very easy to configure detailed reports to be set or shared with other teams, so they do not need access to the HR tool.

Cons

  • Native API integrations are limited esp. on SIEMs and GRC tools.
  • Self paced admin training is weak for the product.
  • CVS format is not available for a lot of reports, you must use pdf.
  • Rippling was much cheaper than previous tool over 100K a year.
  • We have to do a lot more manual report generation and uploading, but the workflow is simple, and even with the additional work, we are way ahead in cost savings compared to our old, much more complex HR tool.
  • Rippling provides greater access control for onboarding and offboarding, especially when someone changes job roles.
Rippling is far easier and cheaper to use. It just does not have the deep integration with a wide range of SIEM and GRC tools, but we appreciate Rippling's simplicity. Rippling handles the basics we need VERY well with little admin effort, and, if properly configured, we have much better access control in place now.
They are very quick and resolve any issues, mostly on 1st call. They cannot write APIs from scratch, but they will help you if you are developing in-house. They have a limited community help forum that can provide some insight into how others are integrating with 3rd party tools/vendors.

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

Menus are simple and sparse, giving you just what you need and letting you focus on workflow. If greater detail or control is needed, you can go deeper into the menu substructure, but for the most part, what you need is logically laid out, allowing for quick training on the tool.
Rippling will do well if a company has a major SIEM and GRC tool like Splunk, Archer, or MetricStream. Otherwise, you will have to work on a custom API to integrate with smaller SIEM or GRC tool vendors. We found it simpler to generate many individual reports in Rippling and manually upload them to our GRC tool to demonstrate compliance, rather than writing a custom API that would need to be updated after each patching cycle.
