Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize Saba Cloud as our LMS and have recently deployed the full performance aspect of the product. It has been a major upgrade from our previous LMS and allows for a more complete user experience. We utilize it for not only compliance training but leadership and professional development courses. It is linked with HRIS systems to allow for seamless updates to all users across the organization as well as utilizes xAPI calls to pull in training records from vendor websites.

Adaptive notifications

Return on Investment

Increased adoption of learning items

No pre-class evaluation ability so difficult to build full pre to post class profile

Alternatives Considered

ADP Vantage HCM

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Saba Cloud is ideal when you have a wide variety of simple use cases. It can really allow you to build out a point-to-point learning path alongside one-off offerings. If you are looking to build a highly flexible learning environments not constrained by strict enforcement of steps this system may not be your best choice. It also lacks the customization of notifications that we are looking to use, such as for injections or follow-ups on classes. The social aspect could be better as the message boards are kind of a wild west of the internet. The lack of controls around what is posted led us to shut things down as the pandemic continued and differing options made their way to the forefront.

Saba Cloud flies high, but misses the sky's limit
