Major time-saver
Sapling is very easy to use and keeps everything organized. I don't have to worry about trying to keep track of everything because it manages that for me. I value software that allows me to quickly engage and do what is required without being gimmicky and substanceless.
Nothing really. Some of the signature and image integrations can be a little finicky, but it really works well 99.9% of the time.
We truly appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear that Sapling has been an asset in ensuring that everything is managed within one place. In regards to signatures and image integrations, we are always looking to improve our product and this feedback is essential to identifying what needs to be improved.

So far so good. I haven't heard any complaints and it gets the job done. I don't know what the price is, but it seems more cost-effective than others for what we use it for.
It has been easy to use out of the box. The time management piece is simplistic. The historical export of data from the previous provider seems to be working. The company page also seems inviting for new employees, it is all branded well.
The one thing I wish it had was a google calendar integration that allows you to add it to your own calendar and the company calendar after PTO has been approved. I feel like we had this from Zenefits, and it is a real pain to deal with. The UI seems a bit dated.

No real problems to speak of, and the first source I turn to when trying to get more information about somebody in my organization.
Pretty easy to use. Everyone who joins the company are required to use this, making it a good resource for finding anyone who is part of your workforce. Works best for me in getting more information on co-workers.
Profile pictures used are very low resolution, and obscured unless you inspect elements in your browser's developer console. Not a usual case for most who will be using it, but is an issue for me. Otherwise can't actually think of any other issues with the software.

My overall experience with sapling was good. The firm ran smoother after using sapling and employees enjoyed the easy HR access.
Sapling makes HR interactions easy and it has tools for employees as well. I love the custom workflow and organizational charts which are interactive and easy to use. Sapling makes it easy for all employees to view clearly outlined policies and rules. We can also view information on each departments projects or roles and their progress with each.
Sapling bases your subscription price on the number of employees in your company rather than what features you use or how much data you store. Sapling does not offer a free trial or free version so that you can explore the product before you commit. Sapling is web based and has no mobile app which is why I rated ease of use and ease of deployment a 3 out of 5.

Sapling made onboarding to my new company smooth and easy. I appreciated that I could find all the information I would need in one place. It was helpful to be able to write a short bio for myself to introduce (or reintroduce myself) to team member and to put names to faces before arriving on my first day. Also, having a timeline of the company's history was interesting to see what milestones they placed value on.
I really haven't had any negatives with Sapling yet. For the needs of onboarding as a new employee, it met all the criteria I can think of.
Thank you so much for your thorough review Erin! It's incredibly helpful to us to know what features you found most helpful. While we want to ensure you are successful for your first day, we also hope that using Sapling allows you better connect with your organization and your peers.

Not sure what problems it actually solves.
This software was easy to navigate through.
However, I am not sure of its overall value. I can see the whole company listed but can't do much more than that.
