Rippling runs on Rippling IT

Our IT team uses Rippling IT to manage identity, devices, and security for over 5,000 employees worldwide — automating compliance, enforcing policies, and protecting every endpoint from a single platform.

Rippling allows us to enter our next phase of evolution as a company. To know that we have the foundational support of a really good IT infrastructure is going to make that phase easy.

Rippling Inventory and Device Management have been huge for us. It is an absolute dream to be able to order systems and have them shipped and not ever have to think about customs and shipping and all of that stuff.

Rippling made it incredibly easy for us to get our SOC 2 report for the first time. We were quickly able to set up and enforce all of the security measures required for SOC 2, and our auditor had one consolidated place to review instead of six separate systems.

We used to have a list we would spin up for every new employee with 30 things we'd have to get done. With Rippling, that list is now gone. Employee downtime is lower because my technician is spending more time on tech support and less time on manual onboarding steps.

This level of reliability and user-friendliness has been a notable feature, contributing to a smooth experience overall.
