Chose Intellum
Intellum is in a class of its own. With the good referrals, I got from colleagues in my industry, I was aware that certain processes would be made easier by this software, and we were right. I have seen the positives that have come from this software. It easily takes the cake …

Intellum has a very flexible design for users which is a great aspect of this tool. This tool leverages the user by giving the capability to create content for different types of learning groups. I am happy with its services and also happy with the choice I have ever made.
Chose Intellum
Intellum does not measure up to Relias. Relias is much more user-friendly and offers course content relevant to, and meeting, state regulations. Intellum was cheaper than Relias; however, since Intellum has started charging for every little service, the cost is pretty …
Chose Intellum
I use Intellum as the company [e-learning platform] but I have [used] Moodle and Teachable in a personal way.
Chose Intellum
We used Lessonly internally, but we felt it was a far more complex system and beyond the scope of what we were looking for. The simplicity and ease-of-use made Intellum the right choice for us at the time.
Chose Intellum
Modern user experience, simple admin experience, dedication to staying up-to-date with today's online learner
Chose Intellum
Customization, access to data and learner experience is really the key points that makes Intellum stand out of the competition. Also, the constant improvement related to the LMS makes it even better overtime.

Moodle and Google Classroom were too basic in my opinion.
Chose Intellum
Intellum provided the best user and admin experience of any LMS we reviewed. It was optimal for our centralized approach, and included the modern requirements like powerful search, carousel UX, and intuitive administration.
Chose Intellum
Much more robust interface and customizable options for building content. Intellum provides enhanced user analytics, reporting capabilities, and user friendly communication strategies. We selected Intellum over Lessonly mainly because of the commitment to service, ingenuity, …
Chose Intellum
More customizable interface and in-platform content authoring.

Pretty even, Branier has interactive functions that are cool although not the same as Intellum.
Chose Intellum
I haven't used any other products like Intellum.
Chose Intellum
I was not the decision maker but as a user Intellum is a much easier platform to learn and use with all of the same functionality of the other LMS's I have worked with or considered.
Chose Intellum
Relias is so much better than Intellum, but Exceed was less expensive when we purchased it. I think they are closer in price now.
Relias really focuses on content and meeting our regulations.
Much easier to use.
Chose Intellum
We definitely prefer Intellum over Saba. Our users prefer Intellum over Saba, but my primary reason for preferring Intellum is the customer service we receive.

My employer selected Rippling over Deel, because it was cheaper, had better support and a better payroll automation system

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.

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
Intellum leads the field in reporting; something I didn't even know I really needed/wanted until we purchased this LMS. While I realize that most Learning Management Systems are designed to support online, auto-assigned content for people to complete on a device, 80% (sometimes more) of our training is delivered in person (we are a quarry company, and our learners do much better with Instructor Led Training). Sometimes it is difficult to find a workaround in Intellum that allows us the flexibility and consistency we require for managing our in-person learning needs.

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
  • Intellum is a highly easy-to-use and user-friendly tool that has great functionality for all of our current cases.
  • I have been using Intellum as a centralized form of learning management for all the employees.
  • Intellum has been offering excellent customer service and all the questions are answered on a timely basis.

  • 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
  • Hard to keep up with all of the new features and updates that are shared weekly.
  • Do not have a current solution for the ability to build live simulation experiences.
  • Reports generated can sometimes be slowed down if there are a lot of requests in the Exceed que for completion.

  • 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.

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!

I can go on here and see all my hours and pto plus health benefits. I like to have the work handbook handy to refer to legal things. How to work my role within it's limits. Being able to put in my hours and view when they are approved is a huge benefit for me.

Return on Investment
  • Our Onboarding Team LOVES showing new clients Intellum. It has allowed for the initial setup and day-to-day use training of our software to be handled by the LMS and the team members can really focus on the tough questions and best practices.
  • We have seen over 110% year-over-year growth of users on our learning center platform.
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.
