Pretty Good for certain use cases!

Rating: 7 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We utilize Sapling HR as a more user friendly and intuitive layer on top of ADP Workforce Now and as a partner in digital onboarding for new hires.
Pros
  • Time off management
  • On demand reporting
  • Onboarding workflow management
  • Offboarding workflow management
Cons
  • 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
Likelihood to Recommend
I think for specific use cases it makes a lot of sense- I would blindly recommend it to anyone- I think it serves a purposes- has areas of growth potential and does some things well. So I'd want to spend some time understanding the users needs before recommending. That said- for a team that is locked into ADP I think it serves a great purpose as ADP is very non-user friendly for the average employee. And for a team that needs some workflows more automated because they don't have people to manage process, it is really helpful.
Most Important Features
  • Time off management
  • Workflow management
  • Reporting
  • Human data repository
Return on Investment
  • More people want to interact with the tool so we're better able to manage some processes
  • Saves us a headcount on some of the things it can automate
  • We don't have the ability to provision every account with them even though they said they could (slack) so we still need to do some manual work on account provisioning
Alternatives Considered
Very very similar- it is not worth switching from one to the other unless you want to have payroll in the same tool.

Key Differentiators
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
We wanted something that had the features we were looking for to drive reporting and automation.
Evaluation Lessons Learned
I would likely look at a few more vendors. We only looked at Sapling and it seemed to do what we needed. I know there are a lot of products on the market though and I may go deeper on others in the future.
Implementation Details / Implementation Partner
  • Implemented in-house
Implementation Phases
Yes
I believe so- thought I didn't run it- someone on the team did.
Change Management Lessons
Change management was minimal
Implementation Issues
  • just time to get it done
  • planning to roll it out to the team
Implementation Rating
9
If you have someone internally that can run it that definitely helps!
Support Rating
7
I got what I needed from some chatting recently - but I know others on the team have had trouble getting support quickly.
Premium Support
no- we have a team capable to that.
Exceptional Examples of Sapling by Kallidus Support
I think our sales person was exceptional. she went above and beyond in getting to know our use case and providing us with thoughtful and honest responses to help support us seeing that the tool could provide what we needed.
Usability
8
There are some features and aspects of the tool that don't quite make sense. Like- when you update someone's comp- you have all these additional fields that if you leave the data in there it appears as if you're trying to update that too- but really it is the same- I wish you could just mark no change so the data stuck.
Easy Tasks
  • reporting
  • requesting time off
  • viewing employee profiles
Difficult Tasks
  • workflow requests
  • giving developer access/api
