Overall Satisfaction with Saba Cloud

We implemented in 2019 to bring together learning for all areas and regions of the organization into a single LMS platform.
  • Saba Meeting
  • Prescriptive rules
  • User Interface
  • Saba Connetor for Workday needs to be able to customize
  • Creating due dates based on hire date in the prescriptive rule. For example, hire date +3 is the due date. We can only build the rule from the event date when the employee is added to Saba.
  • We've had a positive return from just the consolidation of multiple LMS systems.
  • Streamline training and compliance across the organization.
I believe we selected Saba because of the promise of seamless integration with Workday, a cloud service, and cost.
Saba support is something we use a lot and it has been very helpful and quick response times! They always seem to have an answer.
Great User interface!! Seamless intuitive navigation. The site is always up.
Also very easy to configure home page changes and updates.

Yes

Would you buy Saba Cloud again?

Yes

The LMS stuff is good, user friendly, easy to navigate. The training courses and build are pretty intuitive.
The data from the Saba Workday connector was sub-par. We could not customize to get it to pull the data we needed from Workday on future hires. It was also a struggle with Leave of Absence data. We ended up writing custom integrations in Workday to handle the data.
We tried to bring certifications back into Workday from Saba. The setting is to bring all or nothing. We only want to bring certs for about 10 training and cannot customize this in any way so had to build a report and process in Workday manually.
