    We have moved our process to Paylocity, which is our payroll vendor. Although Paylocity does not offer as much customization as STS did, it is much easier to use and fits the bill for us.

    I don't think it stacks up that great. I've used the program almost 4 years now and aside from a redesign to the Home Page, it's still the same program underneath the hood. For example, the Goals now appear as gauges rather than written text, but when you click on the goal - it …

    I think Saba TalentSpace suits small to mid-size organizations looking for a tool to start out with. The product is less overwhelming then some of the major players out there and the price is very competitive. The performance tool is its star player but the LMS is competent …

    Since I have been at HACC we have only ever used Halogen, so I don't really have anything else to compare it to. My other jobs were not jobs were yearly evaluations were done.

    I started at the organization after Saba was selected so can't speak to the decision to purchase it or what was used previously.

    Saba was the only company that had all the performance management features we needed. We also like the appraisal process within Saba as we can track where the process is. Also it is helpful that all the performance management elements are housed in one system. Previously we had …

    When I switched jobs - Saba was at my current location. I enjoy systems and looked forward to learning Halogen. We had a trainer come on site and she was fabulous. I entered the position literally 60 days before the appraisals were scheduled to be released. She prepared me …

    Halogen makes reviews easy. Leaders are able to go in and save their work throughout the process. Report tool is amazing, pulls data quick and easy.

    Halogen stacks up against Paycom because it is a global solution. Paycom is only used for the U.S. because it is a payroll system that cannot be extended globally.

    I have searched other systems and viewed other demos. Every other system has some negatives. The main questions are always: does the area we require exist and at what cost? We have most of what is needed with Halogen. However, as other companies have started to advance in their …

    Better than ADP, not quite at the level of Workday. However Workday does not accommodate smaller organizations nor provide as strong of an implementation team. ADP doesn't come close to either system.

    I wasn't a part of the decision making process for Halogen. I'm not aware of the other products that were researched.

    We used to use Healthcare Source, but found that it was not as easy to use or functional as Halogen.

    Chose Saba TalentSpace
    Halogen is generally better at the appraisal process and allows for goal-setting. It's also truly a global system, where ADP isn't.

    We previewed Cornerstone as a part of our selection process and found Halogen to appear more robust, more end-user friendly and to provide more professional service throughout our engagement with them during the assessment process.

    Chose Saba TalentSpace
    I have used other systems in the past and I like that Halogen provides everything in one space. I would like to see a more developed way to report training, not in the LMS, but I think that for the most part that Halogen is a robust system that is superior to its competition.

    This is the only product we've used like this at our company. We looked at Saba to switch learning platforms but ultimately decided against it due to not wanting to have people go to two different platforms where they currently go to one. I am not sure what other products were …

    I have not used another talent management software. Out of the software that we evaluated, Halogen was the best for our size and where we as an organization.

    We have had them for a long time. When it came time to review we considered the long term relationship and being a unique business, how they already understood us.
