Considered Both Products
Saba Cloud
Chose Saba Cloud
Saba Cloud is more configurable. In SuccessFactors, the configurations on the home page is very limited. However, in saba cloud we can configure the entire home page as per the company requirement. SuccessFactors is indeed a great product but when it comes to UI, it is not very …
Chose Saba Cloud
Saba's complete talent solution stands up against the competition in a number of ways: complete suite offering, seamless look and feel between features, customized feature set, user interface, administrative interface, company personnel, and company vision.
Chose Saba Cloud
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.
Chose Saba Cloud
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 …
Chose Saba Cloud
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 …
Chose Saba Cloud
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
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
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 …
Chose Saba Cloud
Previously we were authoring training and posting on our employee portal with no real feedback or analytics.
Chose Saba Cloud
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
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
I believe we selected Saba because of the promise of seamless integration with Workday, a cloud service, and cost.
Chose Saba Cloud
Saba Cloud was a better fit for our company's size and budget.
Chose Saba Cloud
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
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
As an LMS, it has everything that its competitors offer. The integration capability at a great price made the decision easy.
Chose Saba Cloud
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
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 …
Chose Saba Cloud
The integrated Saba Meeting component and reduced cost vs sumtotal were very important to us.
Chose Saba Cloud
Way way more options built into the LMS.
Chose Saba Cloud
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
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 …
Chose Saba Cloud
Saba has a competitive LMS with both Brightspace and Canvas. It offers class and course management that is easy to use. It out classes the others by its use of assessment tools and analytics. Where Saba excels is in its talent management system. Being able to track users and …
Chose Saba Cloud
Each of the other platforms we used or researched had their own specialities. Some were excellent for specific uses. We wanted a tool that had a more comprehensive package though with performance, compensation and succession planning. This way the tool could grow with us. Given …

Pros
Cornerstone OnDemand
  • Skills Management - Saba has allowed us to set specific expectations for employees based upon their role, and this has clarified the skill requirements for employees.
  • Goal Management - With Saba, managers can easily create goals aligned up to senior leadership, and then work with their direct reports to create supporting goals.
  • Learning Management - Using Saba's built-in Smart Lists, assigning compliance training is a simple process that used to be a challenge in our former LMS.

Cons
Cornerstone OnDemand
  • Saba continues to improve their reporting and analytics. While it is much improved over previous versions, it can be improved.
  • Release Notes for system updates need to be delivered to admins farther in advance of the update in order to prepare properly.

Cornerstone OnDemand
Typically customers that acquire a Saba solution rarely move away. There are reasons and "legends" behind this. The investment is significant. Time and money are required to make the engine go smoothly. But once it runs at full capacity, it doesn't stop! Professional Services are extremely competent and able to close implementation gaps quickly.

Usability
Cornerstone OnDemand
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.

Support Rating
Cornerstone OnDemand
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.

Alternatives Considered
Cornerstone OnDemand
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.

Return on Investment
Cornerstone OnDemand
  • This may seem small but with 90% of our workforce not at our main facility just the fact that since July 1, 2021, we have had over 18,956 compliance-related training completed by our staff. Do the math the ROI is wonderful.
