Saba inside out from the experts
Rating: 5 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Saba is a lead provider of HR solutions for talent development and management. I worked for Saba Software initially as a partner and then as employee of the company. We used the Saba learning management system internally, but more specifically I was part of the Professional Services responsible to implement the Saba solutions for customers of different industries around the world.
Pros
- Saba is a unified platform for delivery of HR solutions at 360 degrees, from recruitment, induction, development, performance review and talent compensation.
- Saba provides one-stop shop for all HR needs, no need to get headaches with improbable and acrobatic integrations among diverse and inconsistent platforms that require tons of dollars to make them work.
- Saba is highly scalable and can be adopted by the small family owned company to the largest of the enterprise organizations.
Cons
- User experience is not modern, tending to old fashioned layouts and styles.
- Programmability is complex, slow and prone to trial attempts before getting it right.
- Reporting capability is inadequate, based on poor third-party tools.
Likelihood to Recommend
Saba is well suited for companies that want a one-stop shop for all their HR business. The solution is fully comprehensive to cover most of HR requirements and comes in handy in two offerings: installation on premise or software as a service. It is less appropriate for rapid and cheap implementations, as the learning curve is not indifferent.
