"Love all the features, wish it was more customizable"
What do you like best about Sapling?

Love the workflow aspect and having the knowledge in one set place. Integration between systems saves us a lot of time in entering information. Makes the employee preboarding experience more personalized and helpful to provide all the necessary resources in one place so that new hires are set for success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sapling?

Integration capabilities seem to lack custom features. A lot of the things we wish to automate, such as welcome emails or certain mapping fields we still manually have to change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sapling?

The detail of the personal information, helps us understand how we can better support our employees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sapling?

the reporting tool and the PTO balance, both of them are inaccurate and we have to do multiple checks to ensure the information is correct. Downloading the reports is really cumbersome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We’re sorry to hear that the reporting tool and the PTO balance are not working correctly for you. We would love to schedule a chat to improve this. Please don’t hesitate to contact your CSM directly or email help@trysapling.com and we can get this sorted.

Thanks again for your review,

Ciara Slattery, Senior Marketing Manager

"Good user interface"
What do you like best about Sapling?

I enjoy the ease of use to navigate through the different pages and the reporting capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sapling?

The calendar page is sometimes hard to navigate in since I cannot see the list of employee's start dates if the list is too long and does not fit the page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Saplings Design is elegant and the New hire experience is excellent"
What do you like best about Sapling?

Sapling has an excellent setup for new hires to get them onboarded and working their first few weeks. Sapling works very well to keep the new hire engaged and work on tasks to get them up to speed. We have also used it as a location to add user data and keep it in one central place. Sapling is very clean and modern, and that is their best selling point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sapling?

Sapling does not have a great onboarding experience with most identity providers where the new hire data is siloed within Sapling and does not move easily to downstream applications. Saplings API has some good features, and with the addition of webhooks is better, we still struggle to get some of the work done we need. Sapling could create more integrations and would benefit by adding more around Okta, Ping, and OneLogin. Being an HRIS platfrom you need to work with all of the SAAS players and this is where we see sapling fall short. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sapling has some fantastic functionality"
What do you like best about Sapling?

Onboarding - our people have really enjoyed the onboarding experience of Sapling! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sapling?

Sapling is not necessarily the best HRIS solution for a company as it scales. We use is for onboarding, primarily, but it's ability to link to other ERP systems and to serve as our full system of record is not fully there, yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"2-year review"
What do you like best about Sapling?

The ability to create workflows for employees to accomplish specific tasks such as Onboarding, uploading Covid-19 Vaccine record, obtaining signatures of annual compliance forms, etc. This platform has been beneficial during Covid, as we have been onboarding employees remotely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sapling?

We want the ability to upload our own Org Chart or make edits to the automatically generated one vs. having it filter through employee records - which may not always be up to date. A Chat function would be fantastic, but I find the message response times very efficient and timely. I can always count on a same-day response, and the video tutorials are beneficial.

"Sapling Experience"
What do you like best about Sapling?

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.

What do you dislike about Sapling?

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.
