In QGIS 2.8.1 there's a tool in the Vector menu that can split a dataset based on an attribute.
Look in Vector > Data Management Tools > Split Vector Layer...
It's a basic tool that should work if you don't want to resort to plugins or tools in Processing; unless they offer additional functionality you need.

Unlike the other vector tools this one does not add the files to the project, and you should select an output folder withBrowseto find them afterwards.
