User friendly
People working at the customer service are great !! Really !!! very helpfull and so nice. Overall prety easy to use .
PROSVery user friendly compared to others and the fact that the informations is transferred and we don't need to constantly update for every customer or other.

Stay Away If You Can - Go with ISNetworld if possible.
STAY AWAY - Go with ISNetworld if you can ! Otherwise you are looking at Impacted site access for service visits. No thank you.
PROSIt has a Home Page that shows you what your compliance status is for each customer.
CONSQuestionnaire is far too extensive in length and too demanding in sensitive business questions; too difficult a platform to learn and use; too costly to operate (in addition to subscription increases you have to PURCHASE online training for your employees to complete).
Reason for choosing Cognibox CMS
We had no choice - customers REQUIRED that we use it or we lose their business. As a result of forced use of Cognibox, we came very close to walking away from that customer business activity.

Integrated and powerfull tool
The customer services is absolutely great. Cognibox is strongly supportive from the implementation to contractor support. We have a reprsentative visiting us on a regular basis and help us in many areas including user training, business needs design and best practices sharing. They are flexible, open mind and customer oriented
PROSUser experience, easy to use, help feature, dashboard for main metrics. The tool is integrated and managed documentation. Contractor Qualification, training, scope of work, communication all integrated. Capability to manage HS, procurement, ISO and environment areas. Capability to host all related documents to contractor's life and accessible accross the entire organization. Security managed by local admin. The sofware evolved with the organization needs. This one of the rare one that is interactive that's means you're able to communicate with the contractor into the tool itself and keep tracking of it. For those who use link to gate, the capability to block at the gate the external who don't have the appropriate training or who don't appear on any safety analysis or scheduled work on a given day
CONSThe integrated tool fits our needs and support our agressive HS processes including audit activities. We would like to have an Apps developped to manage control activities such as training accuracy, scope analysis validation and audit. But this is more a wish for the future than a "like least" as we can use the web to do it

Too long... a lot
Zero benefit for a contractor... that's a painful obligation costing a lot to just suffer
PROSIt is very too long to answer every million questions it have, not really friendly... It turn around a subject again and again and it seems that we'll never finish to answer... Sometimes it have no place to just pass over a n/a question. Over all, we are disqualified for very stupid reason. It ask for the same document million times even it's already done... they don't verify before sending reminder... and we have to pay for that!!! Like it was fun or really helpin something.
CONSAlmost everything... but advisors helping us are very kindle and patient.

Points à améliorer
Le soutien pour la plate-forme et plus long et les numéros pour communiquer ne sont pas vraiment accessible, pour un accès rapide.
PROSLes autorisations pour donner accès à un employé.
CONSl'information pas très clair pour les formations employés, on ne sait pas quoi est dû lorsqu'un employé n'est plus qualifié, vous devriez inscrire la formation qui est passée due , ca devient trop lourd à gérer , et rien n'est dit sur la plate-forme. pour dire quoi est échoue.

Worth the money
This tool treamendously facilitated my job of Contract Management. Cognibox people are listening to our comments and are willing to implement improvements for their customers, so you can personalize some part the system and manage it in a somehow flexible way!
PROSEasy to use, convenient, does the job, flexible and evolutive. What else can you ask for? Oh, and not to forget: Great customer service!
CONSData extract is not the best, some more automation should be implemented to ease the work even more.

A lot of options, may be too much ?
Being able to see witch training will expire in the next 3 months ( and now 12 !) All the information appear on the same sheet.
CONSLast summer, twice, i received aan email that an employee can't go back to work because he has en expired training with only 24h hours to react. I always print a copy off all the the trainings at the beginning of each months and there was no indication that the training was about to expired. The second point is that it may have to many options for a normal user. At the begginnig, we need to search on the site to find what we need.

Review of cognibox
It has been alright overall. The addition of employees is quite costly, and time consuming.
PROSThe ease of having the indocs in one place is convenient.
CONSGetting new workers set up to take orientations is not instant like most other systems. Sometimes takes 2 days, for tight schedules this is not helpful.

Besoins rencontrés avec simplicité
Tout récemment nous avons été audités sur un système qualité et la rapidité avec laquelle nous avons pu démontrer le statut de qualification de nos entrepreneurs a contribué au succès de notre audit. Je veux souligner la qualité d'écoute du personnel de Cognibox qui prennent le temps de nous parler et revoir fréquemment notre niveau de satisfaction. Service très respectueux et attentionné.
PROSLa présentation des pages est intuitive. Pas de commandes complexes difficiles à retenir pour accéder à une fonctionnalité. On peut très rapidement voir le statut de qualification des entrepreneurs enregistrés.
CONSIl est difficile de faire l'attribution des rôles des usagers en raison du nombre élevé de possibilités qui sont offertes.

Facilité avec Cognibox!
Très belle expérience depuis presque 2 ans. Je suis en poste depuis mars 2019 et j'aime bien aller sur Cognibox.
PROSLes onglets sont faciles à utiliser et à comprendre. Je n'ai pas eu de formation au départ et en allant sur Cognibox, j'ai vite appris comment cela fonctionnait.
CONSJe trouve juste un peu difficile lors d'un changement de courriel. Il faut penser à aller aux deux endroits pour faire le changement et ce n'est pas facile les étapes pour y arriver.

Great experience with the tool. The customer service is impeccable. We are also lucky to be supported by a great team at our Client (Bell).

CONSThe WSIB clearance letter not automatically updated.

Cognibox
At first I found it more difficult than some of the other sites I have used, but after doing a couple of the webinars, I realized how easy some of the parts were to use.
PROSI found the Cognibox works very well for setting up employees to do the orientation required.
CONSI would prefer being able to add employees and information however it does make that part easier when I just have to send an email with the information to add someone.
