Considered Both Products

Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
They are IAM tools that provide single sign-on access, allowing us to easily and securely access and integrate the software to the tool of our choice.
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
It's a more affordable option. That's the main reason why our team went with Centrify. From the admin side, its a really clean interface.

Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
Centrify offered us more for our money by being more than just an SSO platform. There were several other features included such as MDM and MFA. This started other initiatives for us and felt the other solutions we evaluated would not have been able to provide.
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
We reviewed Okta and OneLogin while looking at Centrify for our ticketing solution SSO partner. When doing so we looked at it from the aspect of if we wanted to roll this out where we could see the use cases for it and initially it would be in a couple departments then branch …
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
Centrify provided both SSO support as well as Mac support; we needed both. Other products had one or the other, but not both.

This made choosing Centrify a no-brainer as we didn't have to have a wide variety of integrations to do and vendors to manage.
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
I think they are quite similar and don't have enough knowledge about one over another.
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
We selected Centrify for their breadth of services and their number of template applications which makes integrating an app a breeze.
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
Centrify was introduced to provide a secure, versatile and easy-to-use login experience, but it is still competiting against the other products that are in use within our company.
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
Seemed to be the best in breed and the one with deeper Mac integration on the short roadmap. As an Apple Distinguished School, this is obviously very critical to us. Very easy to set up and it has a deep pre-canned application pool for already deployed apps. Very easy for …
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity

During our evaluation process, Centrify could show in the PoC that they are very flexible and open minded to our ideas. An application integration which was not part of the product catalog has been integrated for free. Furthermore the whole package compared to the …

Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
Centrify's pricing was much better than their competitors. They also offered a better sign-in/multi-factor experience for our users when doing pilot testing. Their product also included other features like Mobile Device Management that was a nice add-on.
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
Quest seemed archaic and lacking in features when compared to Centrify.
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
Centrify was a quick roll out for us. The cost was comparable to other tools we looked at and Centrify had additional security options.
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
We evaluated Clever, even though it is free to schools, tech support was almost non-existent. It doesn’t integrate easily with Active Directory.
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
We started off using ADFS from Microsoft, which took most of a day to get fully functional and nearly a week to get fully optimized. The documentation was inconsistent with ADFS and there was no real support without opening a Microsoft Premier Support ticket. At the time, if …
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
We felt that Centrify had the most flexibility for the cost. They also have fairly robust mobile device management capabilities which some of the other products did not have.
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
Centrify provided mobile device management and identify access management from one pane of glass, and was less expensive.
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
Centrify offers many more features and much better control.
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
We selected Centrify over some of the other services out their because it gives us more options such as SSO and MDM all in one and for the most part it is easy to use not only for the administrator but also for the end user.
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
OneLogin and Okta provide similar experiences, but OneLogin is less mature than Centrify. Their Mac and Windows management suites are still in a beta phase are cannot be deployed en masse to our user base. Okta is more expensive and does not have the security compliance. …
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
Centrify was a much better fit for our organization size and a much simpler utility to manage.
Chose CyberArk Workforce Identity
I was previously a OneLogin customer and even though Centrify has a lot more features, I'd have to say that my experience with OneLogin versus Centrify has been a lot better overall.
Rippling
Chose Rippling
As an end user, it's a great experience, and I haven't used anything that is as integrated and useful as this.
Chose Rippling
Its ease of use, security, user friendly UI helped us a lot
Chose Rippling
Rippling offers more complex features allowing employees to really take control on how they use Rippling. It also has a really simple and clean user interface that is great to use especially for those that do not have strong computer skills. This drives strong employee …
Chose Rippling
My employer selected Rippling over Deel, because it was cheaper, had better support and a better payroll automation system
Chose Rippling
Rippling is the perfect balance between a PEO and a standalone payroll system. They have all the functions, features and support that a company needs, but allows the user (company) the flexibility to utilize the system with control. Other systems were missing this feature, …
Chose Rippling
it helps us scale, we are able to have proper employee benefits and we reduce multiple drives employee workflows.
Chose Rippling
Rippling stands out over others with its faster deployment, modern interface, and all-in-one automation for HR, IT, and payroll—making it ideal for fast-growing companies
Chose Rippling
As I am a fresher. I started using both recently. Both are completely different. But we use Jira for assigning tickets and comments etc. In Rippling we do other things. I like the interface of Jira than Rippling. We can't measure in most scenarios which is better like that. I …
Chose Rippling
Rippling is far superior than those other products. That's why we chose Rippling. The level of integration of multiple functions are limited to most but not for Rippling. This application/platform has proved it's worth with it's efficiency and they truly deliver their purpose. …
Chose Rippling
Rippling has more information and is easier to access.
Chose Rippling
We moved away from ADP WorkforceNow for Rippling, and it's been the best decision the company has made. I have saved hundreds of manual hours annually with this change.
Chose Rippling
Good for the all-in-one activity for tracking. All roles and implementations is good. Rippling enables businesses to manage both people and their access to apps, devices, and systems from one place, streamlining operations and improving security. End-to-end workflows across …
Chose Rippling
Significant more features and a much better mobile application. Rippling's mobile application is a serious win! Our employees love the ability of submitting human resources related tasks through their phone at any time. In addition, Rippling has a significant larger pool of …
Chose Rippling
Rippling has a better user experience, is more easy to use and more comprehensive. This is more related to feelings but with Employee Navigator I felf my data was not being protected because the platform looked very old and outdated. With Rippling the feeling is the opposite …

This application was horrible. Always had issues and the customer service was always so bad because they took forever to respond to any issue. Payroll was always an issue when we needed to have anything changed or corrected.
Chose Rippling
Dayforce has the option for submitting time cards. Then employees and employers need a separate app for many other functions. Which Rippling as stated previously the app allows you to just use Rippling and have all bases covered .
Chose Rippling
Rippling seems to have a wider range of features than similar products, but some of them are not currently used.
Chose Rippling
Although I did not choose Rippling, I’m glad my company did! It’s the best platform I’ve used by far. It exceeds Workday's capabilities and is easier to use in terms of its user interface. I’d pick Rippling 10 times out of 10 over any HR platform I’ve used before, especially …
Chose Rippling
Rippling is SO MUCH easier than GoCo. I worked for GoCo in the past and worked in technical support. And I saw so many issues every day with how the app worked. I was shocked to onboard with Rippling and have ZERO ISSUES. It was so easy! Highly recommend.
Chose Rippling
Easier to navigate and operate. Interface is more clean and modern. Paycom is full of options and menus everywhere, which makes it harder to operate. Also app integration with Rippling is so much easier.
Chose Rippling
We would love to transfer from our Power Automate Platform for salary increase approvals into Rippling. I think Rippling is better as it does not an expiration date for any approval flows like Power Automate does (30 days). It's also a great platform to consolidate everything …
Chose Rippling
Rippling provides the information in a clearer and more compact form. Unlike its competitor, it does not require the candidate to be aware of updates in the hiring process. Rippling delivers updates in real time, which allows the candidate to be aware of what is happening, thus …

Likelihood to Recommend
Centrify Identity Service is well suited for nearly any organization, especially ones utilizing Active Directory for user management. It is especially well suited for organizations looking to reduce internal resource use, because it's easy to maintain and manage. Its features also allow you to free up resources previously dedicated to the provisioning and deprovisioning of Office 365/Salesforce users (as well as other applications).

I highly recommend Rippling for any company, regardless of its size. Many well-known companies trust it, and if you go onto their LinkedIn page, you will likely find that many of your friends and colleagues are already familiar with them. Along with a highly flexible and easy-to-use UI, many other companies use it, making it feel like a small world. Any company that needs software for expense management and payroll and wants consistency should consider using Rippling.

Pros
  • Single Sign-on Integration is easy and complete configuration is UI driven with lots of help tips
  • RESTFul APIs for Multi-factor Authentication is easy to use and implement. Also, Centrify supports all new Security features for Multi Factor Authentication and hence you can easily select and configure different challenges based on the policies and roles for the user.
  • Lots of Built-in reports available for normal day to day auditing.

  • I did not expect Live Chat Support and Email Support when we moved to Rippling. Their Support team is quick and very knowledgeable. I have had multiple instances where we have gone back and forth on a situation to come to the correct conclusion, never feeling they were trying to just close the case unsolved.
  • Being able to manage employees from application to separation is huge. Having a built in ATS that we can hire candidates from directly, and immediately have their payroll, benefits and employee profile setup has saved me countless hours for each hire.
  • Rippling allows us to manage retirement plans across the US, Canada and UK with automation and file feeds. Before Rippling I manually managed these in multiple portals, now Rippling does it for me automatically.

Cons
  • Occasionally, I get logged out of Gmail, sometimes in the middle of an email. I'm not sure why it happens, but I think it has something to do with timing out. Which is strange because I'm on email all day. Not sure why.

  • It is hard to think of ways that Rippling could improve. The one area that we did have a bit of a slowdown was in the onboarding process. It was not intuitive and we expect to have some learning curve so if I could say anything needs improvement it would be this area.

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. Rippling is the new wave of HRIS that cannot compare against others in the industry just due to the fact they are super user friendly!

Rippling is a great product that has streamlined our payroll and leave management processes. The interface is intuitive, and it’s very convenient to manage everything in one place. While the initial setup was a bit lengthy and the mobile experience can sometimes be a little slow, overall, it’s been a reliable and effective solution for our needs.

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 support staff thus far has been very helpful. At times I feel they are driving the process forward without my intervention or constant reminder, which is nice to have in a company for a change. Most support seems to be a hassle but so far Centrify appears to treat your project as their own project.

When I did have to reach out to Rippling for assistance I was able to get quick help and my problem resolved in a time efficient manner with out any type of hick up. The customer support team is professional, kind and always available. This makes Rippling more welcoming to use on a daily basis.

It's really easy to implement in comparison to other tools or applications. Different key points are easily configured and implemented as per need, having different configurations in systems. Implementation is something which binds the different parameters of an organization in a single row. Implementation of rippling is much easier, quicker, and error free than any other software. I recommend it strongly!

Alternatives Considered
We started off using ADFS from Microsoft, which took most of a day to get fully functional and nearly a week to get fully optimized. The documentation was inconsistent with ADFS and there was no real support without opening a Microsoft Premier Support ticket. At the time, if you turned on Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Office 365, it turned it on for everything without any granularity. Our Information Security department said that MFA was a requirement for offsite access to our email systems, but users didn't need MFA when onsite. We looked at Okta, OneLogin, and Centrify at the same time. Centrify was the only one that responded quickly and offered a free POC with support included. We tried to deploy the Okta solution on our own, but ran into issues due to some of our non-standard AD configuration. We never received a return call from OneLogin. The Centrify POC took about 15 minutes to complete for basic functionality and a couple of hours to work out the issues related to our environment. We have been very happy with the Centrify solution and went live with our POC.

Return on Investment
  • CyberArk Workforce Identity provides secure access to on-premises and cloud applications. The platform is highly scalable and works well for companies of any size.
  • I can classify and label data. Also keep track of activity in shared applications and data, to know exactly who accesses each of the files.
Read full review
  • Routine things like PTO requests and document uploads now take a few clicks instead of hours of email back‑and‑forth. I’d estimate I spend at least half the time on those tasks compared to before, which frees me up to actually help employees.
  • What used to drag on for days now gets done in a morning - I've just asked them this now. New hires can log in, set up their tools, and start training almost immediately, so they’re productive much sooner.
  • Payroll and benefits errors used to pop up regularly, but now I almost never have to fix things or follow up on missing info. That means less stress for me and for everyone involved.
  • Having everything in one platform cuts out the “where did you send that?” and “who approves this?” questions. It feels like we’ve reduced our back‑and‑forth by at least a third.
