Considered Both Products

Chose Cezanne HR
Cezanne's price point was cost-effective for our needs. It is a UK-based support time that others did not have, and the reviews were much better than others evaluated.

Saba Cloud allowed a much more intuitive learner experience and the ability to build solid curricula and certification programs. ADP was very ridig and siloed while Saba Cloud has allowed us to continually evolve how we do things in our learning environment.

Saba Cloud is far and away superior and the merger with Cornerstone just dominates the market. They also have quarterly improvements and agile development to respond to the community of users, always improving the experience. Just about anything you could want to do in an LMS …

Saba Cloud is becoming more and more popular because it is so adaptable to the many different workforces. It is user-friendly and does not intimidate those not sure of technology. It has an app that allows you to take the recruitment on the road which is great for trainers and …
Chose Saba Cloud (legacy)
Unfortunately, I am not [really] sure how to answer this question. This is out of my scope of work to make the decisions around which tool we use. I do support this tool and I am pleased with the features that it has and I think we plan to continue to work with it.
Chose Saba Cloud (legacy)
Previously we were authoring training and posting on our employee portal with no real feedback or analytics.
Chose Saba Cloud (legacy)
I did not look into any other products. Saba Cloud was the first one I saw and I was impressed so I went with it. Saba Cloud is robust and very detailed so I think it can handle what people are looking for in the Learning Management System. There are probably even more …
Chose Saba Cloud (legacy)
Saba Cloud offered more abilities and better response time to issues and improvements to the platform. We are able to provide a seamless, easy to use, LMS for our customers, which improves the usage of our training program. The user-friendly and customizable homepage has …
Chose Saba Cloud (legacy)
I believe we selected Saba because of the promise of seamless integration with Workday, a cloud service, and cost.

Saba Cloud was a better fit for our company's size and budget.
Chose Saba Cloud (legacy)
For what we receive from Saba LMS, compared to the cost of others that we evaluated, it is the best value for the needs that we have. The ease of use of the system, once implemented, is by far better than the other LMS systems we evaluated. Each year we look at other …
Chose Saba Cloud (legacy)
As I mentioned earlier, I was one of the many volunteers who undertook the sandbox activity to choose between Saba and Cornerstone for the LMS. The reason why Saba was chosen as a hands-down favorite was because of its user-friendliness and the ease of usage. Other factors …

Saba Cloud has a more straightforward user interface than Cornerstone OnDemand, but the simplicity is not always a benefit. We moved from SilkRoad because of its lack of features. Saba Cloud has a more features than SilkRoad, but fails to make those feature accessible in an …
Chose Saba Cloud (legacy)
As an LMS, it has everything that its competitors offer. The integration capability at a great price made the decision easy.
Chose Saba Cloud (legacy)
Saba is by far the best LMS on the market. It was one of the first cloud-based systems and have had experience with multiple LMS systems before the Saba platform was even launched. For the size that Saba can handle the price although a little bit more expensive can do pretty …
Chose Saba Cloud (legacy)
We shopped Cornerstone OnDemand and Saba. The customer support during the review process was hands-down better at Saba than COD. Saba was responsive to our questions and listened to our needs before responding to how they could help us meet them. Although they did keep in touch …

SAP SuccessFactors was the first LMS platform that I have ever used. The main difference I saw right away between the two platforms is how Saba allows the customer to customize their home page very thoroughly. I think that this is a great feature! SuccessFactors did not have …

The integrated Saba Meeting component and reduced cost vs SumTotal were very important to us.
Chose Saba Cloud (legacy)
Way way more options built into the LMS.
Chose Saba Cloud (legacy)
I have primarily used the cloud learning platform of Saba and its related subsidiaries. During the evaluation, we compared Saba with another service provider. Among the many pilot users of my company, Saba got a quite good score, which helped us to go ahead with recommending …
Chose Saba Cloud (legacy)
I was not part of the process to select Saba, but based on team feedback, we went with Saba mainly because of its capabilities in reporting and analytics. We also chose to use it due to its learning environment capabilities and the potential for growth that the system has in …

Cons
  • Reporting - add more standard reports so I don't have to create them.
  • Communicating w/ in the module with team mates.
Read full review
  • In the certification process, it only lets us do look back days it would be very beneficial to have a look backdate. Our services have a training year from July 1, thru June 30 and we assign training to services that are required by federal and state laws to be completed annually. During the pandemic we found a lot of staff taking jobs in other areas and still in their original position and then back again. If we assigned someone HIPAA training and they took this on July 4 and then in October went to a different service line the training plan would ask them to retake HIPAA. It would not pick up the one on July 3. That is the only real issue but it is a large one.

Need to assess our needs vs how Cezanne HR supports those needs

The only reason I wouldn't rate this a 10 is because we always want to evaluate the technology we use to drive our business. While Saba would be the "leader in the clubhouse", we would still perform our due diligence when it's time to renew.

Usability
Some things are complicated to understand, such as the process around them or why things cannot be done. That said, support is always helpful and tries to think of solutions.

As someone who creates classes and is also a learning administrator in the system, I have run into some issues with the system's capabilities for my needs. I am not a fan of having to use Adobe Captivate to download a PowerPoint presentation into the system, as my training sessions are much more than a glorified PowerPoint. Our organization has yet to turn on Saba Meetings, which may help with these limitations.

The support is great. They are efficient and resolve issues relatively quickly. The support opening times support our HR opening times. What would make it better is a live chat function for support or the ability to phone. Sometimes explaining an issue and going back and forth over email takes longer than a quick phone call or live chat.

For the times that we have used the support provided by Saba, it has been a very pleasurable experience for our department. Part of our package with Saba includes a specified number of hours of "training" time with Saba. During these meetings, we have shared our desires of the product and the support personnel have either shown us how to accomplish our task or they have taken our requests to their developers to look at future enhancements. Overall, very pleased with the support.

Better for smaller companies. Don't get too big, or you will lose your value. It's a niche market here and the more products you can use, the better; its payroll integrates with on boarding, talent acquisition, staffing, succession planning, and performance management. I don't like the idea of having four different Software companies for something one can do. No manager likes all these different platforms.

We had extensive reviews with a plan of what we needed and must have out of the system, including custom learning paths and tracking inside our HRIS system to grant permissions and positions based on completed learning certifications and courses. We weighed each option and chose based on the one that met the most of the must-haves.
