Sapient Insights Group, 2025-2026 HR Systems Survey, 28th annual edition. User experience is scored on functionality, ease of use and user interface. Vendor satisfaction is scored on value for the price, customer service and vendor partnership. Solutions must meet a minimum threshold of validated customer responses to qualify for a category.
Why this one matters
It is answered by practitioners, and it scores what you are actually buying
Some software rankings measure analyst opinion, others measure review volume. This one asks the HR teams who run the systems every day, and it separates two questions vendors usually blur together.
User experience is scored on functionality, ease of use and user interface. That answers whether your team will actually use it.
Vendor satisfaction is scored on value for the price, customer service and vendor partnership. That answers what the next five years look like after the contract is signed, and it is the half of the decision that never appears in a feature comparison.
Dovetail is first on both, in all three categories, in the enterprise segment. Read the section and see who else is in the top five. Our G2 profile is public too, and it is written by customers rather than by us.
See what the rating is actually about
Value for the price, customer service and partnership are what enterprise customers scored first. Those are easier to show than to claim.
