I'm looking for a solid IT management tool for single sign-on (SSO) and asset management. My organization is growing to over 50 employees, but our IT processes are still quite outdated and manual. Currently, I'm planning to switch to Rippling for our HR needs, and I'm considering their IT solutions as well since consolidating everything into one platform seems logical. I'm curious if Rippling IT will effectively assist us with device collection, identity management, and if it's a good fit for our growing team. I want to avoid dealing with multiple systems that don't work well together.

From what I've heard, Rippling isn't ideal unless you really need something now and lack the budget or resources for dedicated IT management software. It's not a disaster, but watching them handle major changes without proper communication can be a nightmare. If you have access to Intune through an existing M365 license, I’d suggest considering that as an alternative.
Rippling gets the job done for basic needs. It's vital to choose a platform that your team can quickly adapt to and that integrates identity, access, and device management efficiently. It's also nice if it automates the offboarding process. Just keep in mind that Rippling may not offer everything you might want, as their approach can be a bit rigid with some features. But for a small-scale setup, it can work just fine.
I can chime in here! Rippling's SSO and device management capabilities are decent, and it'll feel like a total upgrade compared to your current setup. Since you're at 50 users, it's the perfect size to consolidate into a single tool. Just be cautious if you plan on using Rippling as your main device management tool, as some features might feel lacking. For example, you may need to manually enroll devices, which could cause issues down the line. But the onboarding process is pretty seamless, and they can help you order hardware as well. Overall, it's worth considering!
Thanks for the tips! I might stick with Okta for now.
We've recently made the switch to Rippling for HR, and it seems like Rippling IT should handle your needs well for managing a smaller company. Just keep in mind that once you scale up and your requirements become more complex, you might run into some limitations. But for 50 users, it should definitely help streamline some of those basic functions you need.
I think Rippling could be useful for your size, especially with basic automation and offering access to tools based on roles. I had a mixed experience with them at my last job, but they can be serviceable if you're at the 'buying laptops and hoping for the best' stage. Just be prepared to advocate for more specialized solutions as you grow.
While I haven't personally tried Rippling IT, I've worked with a few platforms, and I've noticed a common disconnect between HR and IT systems. My suggestion is to prioritize systems that link app access directly to job roles for smooth onboarding. Look for strong asset tracking features and automated lockout options, especially for remote employees. Also, ensure that your HR, finance, and IT tools are integrated for seamless operations. Finally, having access to security logs can really help with troubleshooting down the line.
Good to know! I didn't want to overthink it, but I also want something that scales well.
