Rippling is a Small Business (SMB) HRIS, which means the system works best for companies with less than 300 employees. SMB solutions are designed to cover some, but not all HR needs with some gaps to be filled in by 3rd party solutions. SMB solutions are typically more user-friendly and more modernly designed than other vendors. Additionally, they are typically built with integrations in mind and have open APIs.
Small businesses tend to appreciate SMB solutions, because they typically only take about 6-12 weeks to implement and often do not require a great deal of work from an administrator to get started, due to the fact that most of the system is not configurable.
Small businesses can run into challenges with SMB solutions as they grow, since SMB platforms tend to have limited rules engines and custom workflow tools, which can limit how scalable they can be.
