Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

I primarily only use it as a end user, so from my point of view it is very simple UI easy to access information and manage my documents, I helped implementing it and the HR team loves it as it streamlined their operations immensely from the hiring process all the way through to their first day and beyond

Cons:

I think the teething issues have been the biggest pain point and being in the IT and not having access did not help as we couldn't fix any of their technical issues easily but this was more on internal teams wanting to minimize access, now that it is more in the org it is getting better and hopefully next year it will be at its optimal potential

Reasons for switching to ELMO Software

To get a complete HR/Training platform in one

Easy to use and updates team on policies and procedures

Before an HRIS was implemented, most records were kept in printouts and physical copies rather than in a centralized location. Since ELMO has been introduced, it is simple to look up an employee's past and see how their performance has been handled.

Functionality

Pros:

Superb Customer Service and Support Staff: Throughout both the pre- and post-implementation phases, I received assistance that was competent, fast, and effective. Simple Leave Request Form with Leave Balance View. And to conduct evaluations for supervisors to examine. The dashboard is also quite helpful for data retrieval.

Cons:

One email will be sent upon enrollment in a new course. As a gentle reminder, I prefer many reminders. The employee data part is not as aesthetically pleasing as the rest of the screen display.

Reasons for switching to ELMO Software

Excellent usability; facilitates widespread dissemination of current policies and practices. Capable of managing a sizable workforce and keeping a record of their comments.

If you can get it to work the way you need, it works great!

The system is tricky for people who aren't systems oriented. It would work well for corporate offices but without an app is tricky for organisations that do not have laptops or computer access for every team member. When the automation is able to be configured to your exact needs it works REALLY well.

ELMO - The 21st Century nightmare of HR

Hate is a strong word. Would prefer to use despise, which is frankly worse. Cannot believe that anyone would pay such a huge amount of funds towards such an underdeveloped project. I guess we got pulled in by the sales team that marketed with ' Yes we can ' to later find out that they could actually not, worse than that, that option never existed. Felt like a test dummy for Xero integration, with nobody really knowing how to fix the issue and is still unresolved 3 years later.

Pros:

Forms provide flexibility in development. Employee management of documentation is easy.

Cons:

Lost most of my hair setting it up, lost more trying to change how departments wanted it to run, and more when trying to sort out their software bugs for them. It is badly managed, badly put together hodgepodge of software that has no place in being part of the HR realm.

Reasons for choosing ELMO Software

Among others, We were purchasing EH and then when I got back from a week away, we had purchased ELMO. Yay!

Ento was limited and had no capacity for what we needed after we hit 1-- employees. We still use this for rostering bur thats all.

Functionality

Pros:

Visually ELMO is easy to navigate and logical to use. Suits us for performance reviews and new starters.

Cons:

Reporting. We would like to be able to get learning hours in a report that is "good looking" not having to download a csv file only to then have to filter, sort and "make pretty" for use. This is important to us because learning hour are required for Nurses to keep their qualifications and certifications. Also, most of the help received by ELMO System Experts could do with some improvement. They don't seem to understand the needs of the client/customer when working with them to come up with solutions.

Reasons for switching to ELMO Software

Management made the decision to use an online system as we no longer had tech support for our previous product.

Vendor Response

We really appreciate the time you've taken to write a review. ELMO's Dashboards feature, under Analytics, can help you create user-friendly charts that can be easily exported. Your system administrator can reach out to your Account Manager to work out solutions specific to this feature. Kind regards, ELMO team

ELMO provides us with all the essentials to create a great learning & capability development culture. We use learning, performance and survey modules to provide a seamless experience for our people that supports their on-the-job development, continuing professional development requirements, performance and development goal setting and actions, and competency assessments.

Cons:

The biggest challenge has been to modify the way we were doing things to fit the best practice model but on one occasion, ELMO was able to help us to customise the competency part of the performance module to provide us with great solution.
