Halogen was easier to use and required no IT support. HR was able to implement without the use of expensive software consultants.

Haven't used or evaluation any other systems.
I don't think it stacks up that great. I've used the program almost 4 years now and aside from a redesign to the Home Page, it's still the same program underneath the hood. For example, the Goals now appear as gauges rather than written text, but when you click on the goal - it goes to the old out-of-date looking Goals detailed page. It's only the home page that has been dressed up.
The actual reporting functionality and features haven't been addressed in the time I've used the program. I see what other companies are doing with their PM platforms and they're bringing all of these features in to a base product while Saba continues to sell them as components.

A competent product for small to mid-sized companies
I think Saba TalentSpace suits small to mid-size organizations looking for a tool to start out with. The product is less overwhelming then some of the major players out there and the price is very competitive. The performance tool is its star player but the LMS is competent to deliver online learning to meet most compliance needs.

Saba TalentSpace: Great for Job Performance Tracking
Since I have been at HACC we have only ever used Halogen, so I don't really have anything else to compare it to. My other jobs were not jobs were yearly evaluations were done.

Strong product with a few weaknesses
I started at the organization after Saba was selected so can't speak to the decision to purchase it or what was used previously.

Riding the wave of change
Saba was the only company that had all the performance management features we needed. We also like the appraisal process within Saba as we can track where the process is. Also it is helpful that all the performance management elements are housed in one system. Previously we had to do some of these processes manually.

When I switched jobs - Saba was at my current location. I enjoy systems and looked forward to learning Halogen. We had a trainer come on site and she was fabulous. I entered the position literally 60 days before the appraisals were scheduled to be released. She prepared me to the utmost!

Halogen review
This is the only product we've used like this at our company. We looked at Saba to switch learning platforms but ultimately decided against it due to not wanting to have people go to two different platforms where they currently go to one. I am not sure what other products were reviewed before choosing Halogen.

Halogen from a new employee perspective
Halogen makes reviews easy. Leaders are able to go in and save their work throughout the process. Report tool is amazing, pulls data quick and easy.

Halogen TalentSpace up to par
I have searched other systems and viewed other demos. Every other system has some negatives. The main questions are always: does the area we require exist and at what cost? We have most of what is needed with Halogen. However, as other companies have started to advance in their creativity, there are other options now, at reduced costs, with more features that one may want to consider - they too have all of the required needs.

Better than ADP, not quite at the level of Workday. However Workday does not accommodate smaller organizations nor provide as strong of an implementation team. ADP doesn't come close to either system.

Halogen (Appraisals and Learning modules)
Halogen is generally better at the appraisal process and allows for goal-setting. It's also truly a global system, where ADP isn't.

It's way more modern and useful!
We previewed Cornerstone as a part of our selection process and found Halogen to appear more robust, more end-user friendly and to provide more professional service throughout our engagement with them during the assessment process.

Great product!
I have used other systems in the past and I like that Halogen provides everything in one space. I would like to see a more developed way to report training, not in the LMS, but I think that for the most part that Halogen is a robust system that is superior to its competition.
