SalesHood vs. Sapling Onboarding by Kallidus

[SalesHood] has been helpful during virtual onboarding when the team is not able to get together for in-person trainings. And the ability to test retention is helpful for the user and for management as well. However, it is one of those platforms that takes time out of what a rep does best, which is sell, so it may not be the most well received.

It's a good space to have a high level overview of the organization (especially Org view). Places for improvement include extra levels of complexity when you need to click on the person and you are navigated to the pop-up that is hard to use and only one pop up can be used at a time. I wish there wasn't so much of clicking in and clicking out.

• Sales-centric: the platform is literally built for salespeople and with salespeople in mind
• Collaborative Customer Success: the SalesHood team is SO responsive and always willing to collaborate and brainstorm ideas
• Easy to Use: They have a fantastic onboarding program to get new admins started and the platform is easy to use.

• Very customizable. Very easy to create new workflows and tasks to meet the unique needs of your organization.
• The system is easy to navigate, so minimal training is needed for users.

• Finding a specific training path that I'm looking for can be difficult via browsing. Best way is to use the search bar.
• I wish there was a way to provide peer feedback. It might be a setting that our team just doesn't use, but it would be nice to see questions that peers have, or places they're struggling and to be able to comment or reach out directly to help.

• Deeper data management/review - dashboard experience could be better and deeper
• Ability to drill into reports within the tool- right now it takes you out to a sheet to view
• Org planning/org chart sharing

IT has been useful and better than some of the other tools we have used.

It is hard to rip out and replace systems and Sapling is doing what we need

To use this system you need to buy several add-ons. If add-ons do not fit your business model you will have to access platforms from different companies. The system is not easy to use for onboarding. Candidates cannot change and update settings. To use the system a person must click in the correct spots. If not it leads you someplace else. Then you have to start clicking all over again.

Our CSM at SalesHood is always responsive to us, we see the support team respond to our queries quickly, and even the CEO Elay Cohen is entirely plugged in. If an in-app NPS score is rendered that looks to be unfavorable, they reach out to understand why and to see if they can help turn the experience around if it's education or enhancement that's needed. It's a great team there to support you.

Sapling HR helps my HR team keep track of our personal information like contact information or t-shirt sizes (who doesn't like free shirts), as well as helping new hires onboard. I think it's super simple to use and keeps everything pretty nicely organized.

If you have someone internally that can run it that definitely helps!

I chose SalesHood because I knew the team is amazing based on my past relationship with them, and because I knew the features met the needs my organization had. They may not have had all the frills that other vendors have, but we didn't need frills. We needed functionality and flexibility.

Sapling [HR] was our first and only HR automation platform. We ran a trial campaign with them and did not compare them to other vendors.

• Provides proof to executive management and shareholders - the value that training and enablement brings to the organization
• Ability to quickly create trainings and roll them out to the target audience with deadlines
• Tracking also provides the ability of the enablement team to identify gaps and adjust accordingly

Incentivized

• We were able to get the system implemented very quickly, which was of great importance to us as we were undergoing rapid growth.
• The system has helped us keep and stay organized and allowed team members to work collaboratively to get tasks done. Many of these tasks were previously managed with various spreadsheets and other trackers that were quickly becoming unmanageable.
• Sapling has greatly decreased the time we needed to onboard and employee and has prevented many errors.
