Everything I have needed to complete prior to my start date has been evidently illustrated to me and reminded me if I need to complete anything further! It takes the guess work out of what I need to have done and ensures I am right on track with my onboarding process. **What do you dislike about Kallidus?** I don't really have anything negative to say about Sapling! The only thing I noticed was that most of the time someone is "Away" on the chat page if you need help so sometimes you are not able to get help immediately. BUT they do always leave a message so when you get back, your question is answered. It is also emailed to your email address as well. **What problems is Kallidus solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sapling immediately corrects spelling errors to ensure proper grammar and word usage.

Sometimes feels like extra steps vs streamlining **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2021 **What do you like best about Kallidus?** There are some good integrations with other tools, specially making it seamless to go from hire in greenhouse to hired in bamboohr and ensures no one we hire falls through the cracks. **What do you dislike about Kallidus?** Although there are few to compare to, the software really hasn’t shown to make the on boarding process best in class in any way/proven to drive efficiency. **What problems is Kallidus solving and how is that benefiting you?** Replaces our task management or manual process from hire to on boarding, preventing us from missing anyone. ### 16.

I didn't understand what the box with the line meant at first [-] when it was only partially completed. **What problems is Kallidus solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've just started at a new company, and it's the tool we use for onboarding tasks. **Official Response from Ciara Slattery:** > Hello, Thank you for your review!

I felt like I was joining a team while onboarding remotely. It was quick and easy. **What do you dislike about Kallidus?** The only thing that was a slightly less than ideal experience was that the system would log me out fairly quickly without warning.

It is a super user friendly system that makes onboarding before day one easy to manage. Also- the support team is stellar and always highly responsive. **What do you dislike about Kallidus?** Perhaps have the I-9 form automated or a process to manage that in the system, with some external review/signature component built in. **Recommendations to others considering Kallidus:** Consider it! Great customer service team and ease of use of system has been great. **What problems is Kallidus solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were having workflow issues which Sapling helped to solve.

Save the trees! ### 28.

Using Sapling throughout this process was invaluable, because it gave me a visual overview of my onboarding tasks that were due in the upcoming days and weeks, allowed me to see an overview of my new team, and gave me a reference point for any important HR information. **What do you dislike about Kallidus?** While Sapling is helpful, I do feel as though we have to use other softwares in addition to Sapling to supplement the HR onboarding process. It is not a "one stop shop" for all my HR needs. **What problems is Kallidus solving and how is that benefiting you?** The ongoing ability to view tasks that need to be completed and a quick reference point for tasks I have already completed. ### 30.

Would like more configuration options around integrations **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jens L. | Support Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2020 **What do you like best about Kallidus?** Integrations with Google and OneLogin greatly streamline our onboarding process **What do you dislike about Kallidus?** Would like more options and alerting around integrations. It doesn't happen often but we've had integrations stop working and it would be nice to get alerts that they need attention. It would also be nice to get alerts if, for some reason, integrations actions fail. If account creation fails we have not direct way of knowing. **What problems is Kallidus solving and how is that benefiting you?** This may be a restriction in the Google API, but occasionally account creation will fail if its attempted to create a Google user that an alias exists for ### 38. Organized Onboarding **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2020 **What do you like best about Kallidus?** The most helpful thing about Sapling is how it keeps the team behind our onboarding program organized. You're able to create custom checklists and invite other stakeholders including managers and new hires into the process. It has a great user interface for new hires and allows for pre-boarders to get to know the organization better with a historical timeline and team. **What do you dislike about Kallidus?** Not a ton of flexibility to add to the new hire experience as they are going through the organization's history. While there is point in time reporting, it would be great to have a preview of reports without having to download to csv or Google Sheets. **Recommendations to others considering Kallidus:** Make sure you have your checklist templates drafted in a document before implementing. **What problems is Kallidus solving and how is that benefiting you?** Repeatable and flexible checklists makes onboarding easy to complete on the back end. ### 39.

When I do a search for a user in the People tab I can find the employees manager but if that person is a manager I am unable to find who reports to them. Also if there are others in the group you can't tell the persons position by hovering over the picture icon. **Recommendations to others considering Kallidus:** It is a good software to use for HR. but when I am trying to find team members in the same group, it isn't that easy. **What problems is Kallidus solving and how is that benefiting you?** The application is more helpful for the People team. They requested the change. ### 41.

Smooth onboarding experience **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sophie V. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2020 **What do you like best about Kallidus?** The centralised repository of onboarding tasks and documents are both easy to consult and access. The platform ensures efficient communication with HR and eliminates a back-and-forth regarding tasks yet to be completed. Furthermore, Sapling is often the first platform to access as a new hire. As such, the onboarding starting with a welcoming note of the CEO, the history of the company being visualized in a timeline, videos was a pleasant experience. Lastly, the "people" section gives you the opportunity to explore different departments and meet your new team. **What do you dislike about Kallidus?** Apart from the initial onboarding experience, I do not find myself consulting Sapling regularly. In my opinion, although the current features are working fine, I'd add more engaging features which would draw more traffic to the platform. **What problems is Kallidus solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's a centralised place to consult HR-specific documents, and it gives you a good overview of the company structure, departments and colleagues. ### 50. UX is poor. It's not intuitive. **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2020 **What do you like best about Kallidus?** On boarding module. Great way for the team to stay on top of everything. **What do you dislike about Kallidus?** It's not intuitive. I spend too much time (and nerves) looking for functionalities. When you log in, the main screen is completely useless! "Profile" do not gather useful informations on Employe. Logging session is too short! I need to log in 20 times per day! It's annoying! **Recommendations to others considering Kallidus:** Having just on-boarding module without HR module is pretty much useless. **What problems is Kallidus solving and how is that benefiting you?** On boarding and off boarding ## Kallidus Discussions - [What is Sapling HR?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-sapling-hr) - [Is a sapling a tree?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-a-sapling-a-tree) - [What is Sapling software?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-sapling-software) - ["What is great about Sapling's onboarding capabilities?"](https://www.g2.com/discussions/51852-what-is-great-about-sapling-s-onboarding-capabilities) - 1 upvote - [What can I use this for trying to add users and remove?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/39043-what-can-i-use-this-for-trying-to-add-users-and-remove) - 1 upvote - [View Kallidus pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/kallidus/reviews?page=4§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-09+00%3A03%3A12+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=1d674d74-1463-42d2-ae8e-bbded5f8181d&secure%5Btoken%5D=d154b0face47c2ba47976d541ef635fc06d18b7d4f78ec4ff2734a694da00d16&format=llm_user) ## Kallidus Integrations - [BambooHR](https://www.g2.com/products/bamboohr/reviews) ## Kallidus Features **Core HR** - Organization Management - Time, Attendance, and PTO - Benefits Administration **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Generative AI** - AI Text Summarization **Agentic AI - Onboarding** - Autonomous Task Execution - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Platform Content** - Forms Library - E-Forms - E-Signature - Background Checks - Offer Letter Approvals - Offer Letter Templates **Generative AI** - AI Text Summarization **Platform Additional Functionality** - Self-Service Portal - Automated Team Introductions - Compliance Training - Automated Onboarding Workflows - Onboarding Notifications **Platform Data** - Time-to-Productivity Reporting - Onboarding Process Reporting - Visualization **Platform** - Customization - Integration APIs - Internationalization - User, Role, and Access Management - Dashboards **Recruiting and Onboarding** - Interview Scheduling - Onboarding ## Top Kallidus Alternatives - [BambooHR](https://www.g2.com/products/bamboohr/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (5,170 reviews) - [Rippling](https://www.g2.com/products/rippling/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (11,510 reviews) - [Enboarder](https://www.g2.com/products/enboarder/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (61 reviews)
