As a core learning and performance management solution across our team at TalentFirst Solutions Inc. Atlanta, Kallidus truly streamlines our full L&D workflow. I value its fully reliable SCORM-compliant LMS functionality most, which lets us smoothly upload all custom and third-party compliance training content without any compatibility issues. We can easily assign role-specific courses to different teams, set up scheduled reminder alerts, and monitor real-time training progress and completion status across the entire company. It keeps detailed learning records including study hours, assessment scores and full completion logs, building complete audit trails to meet industry regulatory requirements. The ready-built compliance reports save us massive time on manual data sorting and audit preparation. Beyond training management, it seamlessly links employee learning outcomes with formal performance reviews, making talent development plans more practical and goal-oriented for every team member.

The back-end administrator dashboard feels rather clunky and not intuitive enough for daily operation. New HR and L&D staff usually need a long learning period to get familiar with all core functions. Building tailored learning pathways and setting complex team-based assignment rules involves too many scattered menus and extra steps, which slows down our workflow when rolling out new company training initiatives. Many core operational workflows feel outdated compared to modern cloud-based LMS platforms. In addition, the native reporting dashboards offer limited adjustable dimensions, so we cannot directly create targeted statistical views to fit our internal management needs.

Sapling provides a smooth and well structured onboarding workflow. The steps are clear, intuitive, and easy to follow with minimal confusion. I especially like the timeline feature that highlights the company’s history

it adds a thoughtful and engaging touch to the overall experience.

It clearly manage the time off and Org chart Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

rofile pages could also be enhanced by allowing direct clickable links to LinkedIn or other platforms instead of requiring copy/paste. The greyed-out sections create some visual confusion. Additionally, the Intercom chat widget feels slightly intrusive, as it occupies significant space and doesn’t minimize easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sapling is easy to use and is really helpful when first joining an organisation (especially when remote working). It helps get onboarded quickly. As a hybrid worker I found it invaluable. It notifies me when I have documents to sign or new contracts. I have used it a lot in the current job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes notifications can be missed. Sometimes documents are hard to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy for us to run reports and set tasks that our employees need to do. Also, it's very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There really is not any, it's a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sapling does a great job of getting new employees up to speed, ensures compliance in following all key set-up steps, and helps remind them to do all necessary steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its was honestly really great. Some steps were unnecessary, and sometimes reminders came before steps could even be completed, but I think that had more to do with our specific implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the flexibility of the system to set up the fields and workflows I need to run HR processes and also keep track of and report on HR data. While the differentiation from competitors isn't extreme, I do think saplings flexibility with adding fields and setting up workflows is a huge benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The navigation on the back end isn't always the most user friendly. Sometimes I have to click through a few different fields to get to what I want. Also, while they have APIs available and you can easily set up API keys, I know from one system in particular (Knoetic) that they aren't always open and willing to work with that system to send the data in usable ways.

I was able to implement this pretty much on my own over the course of a few days. We didn't have any other system to transition from. In general, the training with the team was bang on and informative. BEST THING... embedded videos ya'll.

I like the simple UI. Integrates easy with Google.

What I think most HR systems miss, is that they are build with the HR person as the user, but here is the thing. EMPLOYEES who can do more, will reduce the impact on HR, which is really solving the problem. The employee experience is incredible, we have all employees participating on all main purposes with no laggards, and that's saying something! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The time off part was a bit more trickier than I would have liked, but the UI is great. Missing functionality is putting people on "leave" with appropriate workflows from there. I'm sure it's coming through.

Wish they had an LMS part of the platform or some Performance stuff, issue with the performance stuff is the out of the box stuff available, rarely fits a company and is hard to develop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automated tasks, re-assigning tasks, reporting, sequencing tasks, customized fields and forms on employees' profiles make it an easy tool to use for onboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some things that could definitely be made better. With the workflows, there is no way to easily compare tasks across workflows or delete or assign the same task from/to multiple workflows. We have a lot of workflows set up, and it's difficult to manage. Also, it would be so user friendly if when you're on an employee profile, when you scroll down, it keeps the name and information at the top. I often am looking at an employees profile and, now that we're a few hundred, have to scroll all the way back up to see whose profile I'm on - very annoying. Finally, there are issues in pulling reports - I ask it to pull ALL the individuals in Sapling, and some people don't get pulled even though they're in Sapling.

Clean interface, easy to navigate, multifunctional for my team's profiles, time off, workflows and document management for my entire employee life cycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some integrations are limited and some features don't meet my needs such as notifications that only notify some parties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
