Sapling

Having a platform for employees to learn about the culture and history of our organization, as well as get to know their colleagues ahead of starting, has greatly improved the onboarding process. We really enjoy the buddy feature, as it has taken our employee buddy program to a new level and increases engagement. Instead of having to use paper forms and checklists for onboarding, and sending back and forth emails, tasks are easily delegated to the appropriate people in my office and there's more transparency in the process.

Sapling has released a plethora of new features in the year that I've been on the platform, many from customer feedback. I'd like to see an Office 365 integration, as there currently is one with G Suite.

I've implemented Sapling twice and found it easy to use and with a good CS rep, it'll go smoothly and your questions will be answered quickly. Once everything is set up, it's super easy to use.

There are still some functions that aren't that great; ie. start date change, but Sapling is working on it.

It has been easy to use out of the box. The time management piece is simplistic. The historical export of data from the previous provider seems to be working.

The company page also seems inviting for new employees, it is all branded well.

The one thing I wish it had was a google calendar integration that allows you to add it to your own calendar and the company calendar after PTO has been approved. I feel like we had this from Zenefits, and it is a real pain to deal with.

The UI seems a bit dated.

Sapling provides a good interactive experience that eliminates duplicate efforts while attempting to accurately track important data for both the employee and management perspective.

In getting up and running, the directive on how to load historical data from the employee perspective was vague.

Employee profile is really detailed and I can add a lot of fields. It's easy to use with simple navigation.

Document management is a great feature to get me onboard and keep track of my documents.

Doesn't really useful after I get to know more about my company and other colleagues. I only update my profile once or twice ever.

Doesn't really good at task management, since there are other better tools for that.
