This includes compliance and non compliance courses. We have offices globally and they also use this system. We also are looking to track our Lynda.com information in the system to help with seeing the self development as well as some of our courses for understanding bias.,Saba has a variety of ways to create things (courses, classes, curriculum, etc.,) which help with distribution and organization
Saba has a variety of features and ways of doing things IF you have them activated
Saba has an almost 24hr support staff that does their best to find answers,The support could be 95% better. Majority of the time I end up teaching them something about the system. if they were a general support group, I would expect this, but when I tell them I am reaching out about Saba Cloud's learning platform, they route me to someone who I assume is focused on that but can not answer my questions. this is also evident in the frustrations seen in the community.
The tool could also allow better naming ... so for courses, all classes underneath the course inherit the EXACT same name... it would be better if it allowed you to AT LEAST add a sub-name that displays with the class name to know without having to click in or memorize class numbers.,5,Our reporting has been a major issue in the system. I am working on cleaning it up but the support I have received has yet to help me. I finally gave in and purchased consulting on demand hours to try to right the wrong done in the past within the system.
The initial implementation was rushed and I do not think it was done with care. Also, it seems as though there was a lot of misinformation provided to our company from their implementation partner that I think would help if they monitor that closely.
Positively, they have provided a resource that works and they are working on creating better relationship management pieces.,Workday Human Capital Management, Tableau Desktop, TIBCO SpotfireVerified UserSaba Helps Create a Culture of Personal Development2018-05-15T23:29:51.511ZSaba addressed our need for a replacement for our learning management system that went beyond just providing courses. We wanted a total experience for our Associates that addressed personal and professional development. It is currently our Learning and Performance system across the organization.,The social collaboration aspects of the tool were unparalleled to any other we looked at. It has lead to us transitioning our intranet onto it as well.
Unlike other platforms they put learning at the core of all they do, and that was something we wanted to help create a culture of personal development.,Saba has so much built in flexibility that sometimes it can be overwhelming. If you bring on new folks after implementation, a basics course or more best practice for getting started documentation would be helpful.
Compensation module is still in early stages. They are on the right track but for larger companies with complicated hierarchy simple getting started tools would be helpful.,10,Saba has allowed us to have company goals at the senior executive level that cascade down to departments. This has increased visibility on how what an associate does relates to results.
Saba recognition tools allow us to recognize associate contributions across teams and locations in a way we never had before. This has benefited engagement immensely and it pulls directly into reviews when its time so managers can see the whole year better.,SumTotal Maestro, Oracle Training and Udutu LMS,Adobe Captivate, Articulate 360Helen RossiterSaba!2018-04-19T20:42:59.497ZSaba is utilized across the whole organization to address training and compliance needs.,Notifications

Ability to integrate with most content services is a positive

It provides a streamlined user experience and a comprehensive transcript for all development opportunities and compliance requirements in our decentralized organization. Using Saba has allowed us to eliminate a multitude of boutique databases and Excel sheets housing various training completion details.,Prescriptive Rules allow us to assign training based on data parameters such as job titles and campus locations. Previously, these assignments were manually created and the result of hours of data analysis.
Saba's options allow us to provide self-assignment options based on responses to questions related to actual job functions. They also allow us to integrate with collaborative partners in other organizations.,There are quite a few complexities for learning administrators who are responsible for managing training, but the coming releases are slated to address some of these challenges to improve the experience.,10,On a positive note, it has allowed us to streamline processes, increase engagement and begin to foster a collaborative learning environment. It has also allowed us to comprehensively evaluate existing training and compliance initiatives on a large scale to identify and implement improvements.
On a negative note, it has provided higher visibility to the end user of the duplication of effort and the need for improved learning formats. I'm not sure this is such a bad problem to have since this type of feedback is what raises the bar for decentralized organizations.,,Oracle PeopleSoft HCM, Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline, Microsoft Office 365Michele HarasheRobust And Too Robust for Non-Compliance Heavy Companies2018-04-23T16:53:07.667ZWe use Saba Cloud as a shared services provider for 2 organizations, currently, and expect expansion.
