Sapling Reviews & Product Details

Sapling is easy to use and has fun colors and icons that make it user-friendly. We use this in place of an employee org document, and it is easy to keep up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a little bit hard to login sometimes. You have to find the link that is specific / particular to your company, much like other resources such as ADP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very nice workflow for onboarding members to follow. The steps were clear, with minimal points of frustration and confusion. The timeline of the company's history was a useful, pleasant feature to include. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would appreciate a slightly different onboarding experience as an intern for the company this summer. I am very keen on getting to know the incoming class of interns, but aside from a single screen showing the names of the people joining for the summer (which disappeared after pressing "next"), I was unable to identify who among the sprawling list of teammates were fellow interns. I also think the profile section when visiting other users can be improved so that people can press a button to visit a LinkedIn or Twitter page as opposed to having to copy/paste their links. The fact that these profile sections are greyed out (which seems to suggest nothing more than the fact that I don't have permission to edit them) was another visual component that I did not particularly like. Lastly, the intercom chat box takes up a significant amount of space when clicked, and it does not disappear when you click out of it. While its UI is nice, that did not stop me from feeling frustrated overall (this was the one component that annoyed me). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automating the onboarding process is undoubtedly helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a lot of leeway with customizing the overall look with corporate colors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sapling creates a great pre-boarding experience for our new hires. We love how simple it is for all employees to interact with - there isn't a learning curve at all. It has allowed our 3 person people ops team to process 100 new hires in the past 6 months! We LOVE having this in an automated process system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The admin capabilities are just okay. The reporting is average, but nothing special. We frequently have to do a lot of manipulation to reports to get what we need. The same can be said about the documents dashboard - there is no reporting capability other than if a document is complete or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The onboarding experience for employees is Sapling’s strongest offering. New hires get a glimpse of the team, the company, the culture from the inside before their start date. Automated communication is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We’ve used Sapling for a few years, and it was fine while we were small, but we’ve more than doubled, and the platform is just not growing with us. The behind-the-scenes is fine for smaller teams (<100) but is not a scalable solution in terms of data. We’ve had issues with data reverting, change history issues, and we can't bulk upload data without our CSM. The data upload experience that could help Sapling scale with its growing customer base was problematic, so they removed access to it from employers, and now we need to go through our CSM to get those uploads complete (and we have so many changes that the data uploads aren't keeping up with us). There aren’t good auditing capabilities. There are very few integrations with other tools we use. They are so focused on trying to catch up on the bug backlog that they haven’t rolled out impactful new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the easy-to-use interface. I feel the interface is well designed. The components are well placed. I can directly go to my company's important link, it makes the application more usable. I can directly visit company blogs while keeping track of TO-DO tasks/ activities. I can get insights about new joiners as well as the current team and its really interesting to know who all are in our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel the response time can be improved. When I click on a tab, it takes some time to open the new page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is very user friendly. It is simple to create tasks, follow up with late employee documents, and it keeps our onboarding and off boarding process running fairly smoothly. Also, it is easy to connect with most of our other platforms, which helps cut down on manually entering Information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are doing an internal audit of employee documents prior to implementing Sapling. There is no mass import/upload process for said documents. I have to upload them individually and it is very time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to fine employee basic information Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creating reports are difficult and not user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The task reminder is beneficial for company-wide exercise. Also the onboarding is made easy by scheduled follow-up and workflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When searching for names, it's a bit laggy (I need to type twice).

For the workflow (task) report, we couldn't personalize the details of the workflow report (location, department).

Would be better if we can substract data not from the department, but sub-department Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do enjoy the fact that most user that come onto Sapling, become well aware of their tasks needed to be done. Being in a team that requires to be in contact with other teams, this helps even out the tasks required. The email notification does help as well. It does give a better overall experience in terms of coming into our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel as if integration can be better thought out. Tasking seem to be somewhat generic in terms on how they are implemented. Automation could be better. Instead of assigning email to user, instead have them already be categorized in a way that once a user is onboarded in that title/role, everything else is automated.
