Sapling Review

Reviewed 5 years ago

It's a great HR tool that helped us starting from great employee onboarding experience to day-to-day work maintenance.

Pros

My most favorite features are Managing Time Off and Org Chart. Managing Time Off: it's easy to request time off and see how much has already been taken/ still available. Org Chart: so helpful to find the needed person/ contacts when the company is not small.

Cons

Ideal software. really. I can't think of anything right now I would love to be changed. At least from the user perspective, it's great.

Couchbase onboarding

Reviewed 6 years ago

loved the tool. Would recommend

Pros

The process seemed light and too overbearing

Cons

Middle name can't be a required field. It took some time for me to figure the error in the form. browsing Org chart was difficult. I was not able to research a person and go one level up

Vendor response

Thank you for this insightful feedback. We have released an update that improved our preboarding experience to ensure that it's intuitive and easy to navigate. In regards to the org chart, we are working on improving this feature. I shared your feedback with our design team as these insights will help us improve.

Just used it for the first time to preboard a new company I just joined

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

I just had my preboarding before my first day at a new job. Great to get an intro and history of the company that I am joining. Pretty easy to use and I like how I can access the directory before my first day. Overall, it's pretty good.

Cons

When I was filling out the i-9 and other HR related forms, I had previously filled out my address. I wish those can be translated to the forms that I was filling out so I didn't have to type the same information several times. It may take several seconds to load up some of the content.

Cons

I am still not sure what further uses would be for Sapling as I get comfortable with my new position, but social features and events board can defiantly add to it

Sapling held my hand and guided me through the onboarding process.

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

Simple, understandable, and gives me a good picture of the organization I am entering. Onboarding tasks were presented as an easy-to-follow checklist.

Cons

The onboarding task list does present all tasks at once, including those whose completion is required at some point in the future (say, first day tasks).

Vendor response

We appreciate the constructive feedback and are thrilled that we were able to provide a smooth, onboarding experience. Congratulations on joining the Tempo Automation team. We're excited that we could play a small part in your success.

Best onboarding experience I've had yet

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

1. The segmented approach to filling in forms make it very easy to complete forms 2. I like the prioritized approach to tasks with the clear red/green markers

Cons

1. The calendar doesn't clear delineate between tasks that I have and other events 2. The task window has too many things going on; assignee, workflow, completed by, etc. These feilds could be hidden in advanced area that would allow the user to focus on actual tasks.

Great experience using this software!!!

Reviewed 6 years ago

Overall my experience has been amazing and I am glad that it was easy. No one likes filling out work but this was so quick and painless it was actually kind of fun.

Pros

I loved how easy it was to navigate. Usually signing contracts can be tricky but it was super efficient and simple the way it was laid out. The program made it so it one stop shopped everything.

Cons

I would have liked to know upfront how long it would take to complete so I could have set aside time instead of having to come back to it.

First time user

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

Onboarding with Sapling provided a customized, intuitive experience as a new employee. I liked having the flexibility to do it at my convenience, and the ease with which I could sign forms, upload photos, etc.

Cons

I had some issues with popups no closing, resulting in lost data that had to be re-entered. It's possible that this was a browser compatibility error, but in that case I'd appreciate being advised to use the most optimized browser at the start.

Clean, efficient onboarding

Reviewed 5 years ago

Positive! Clean, simple onboarding. Would recommend.

Pros

Clean, modern UX with integrated form signing and a clear walkthrough of the onboarding process.

Cons

Inability to save partial form progress on a given page. My company onboarding was a mix of important questions like SSN and more whimsical (but still required) fields like "Dream vacation", which meant my indecision about the whimsical stuff prevented me from prefilling/saving the more required fields right off the bat.

Sapling on-boarding review / new hire

Reviewed 5 years ago

A huge benefit to Sapling is that it's easy to use and gets all required documents processed with the on on-boarding employee, and they can do it at their own leisure, before the actual start day - saving the employer time and money.

Pros

It is self explanatory and user friendly

Cons

It could have been my computer, but I could not find a way to make several documents larger in order to read them well- the page and font was very small, for the longer documents. The documents to sign were large and easy to see.
