ELMO Software Reviews

The implementation was seamless and the staff at ELMO go over and above to ensure you get the most out of the system. We have gained the most benefits out of the Onboarding, Learning & Performance modules.

Some limitations in the rostering software but ELMO are very proactive in continuously developing and improving the software

Some fields require manual addition to sections. Option for duplicates not present.

There are few redeeming features about ELMO Payroll. It appears to have been developed on the run using a 3rd party payroll system most likely from USA

Features that are critical are least developed such as reports from which to compile a general ladger payroll journal for uploading to an accounting system; termination transactions get included in the pay period of termination reports rather then being able to produce an 'extra' pay period; the conversion from existing to new system was as bad as it could possibly get in terms of communication with ELMO, manual data entry when uploading files fails and inconsistency with leave entitlements computation - ELMO expresses annual leave in days and long service leave in weeks - what happened to hours ??

Very easy to use and straight forward product. I can see this will be an easy transition.

I don't think I have been using the softward long enough to give a true indication of what I liked least. TBA.

Ease of use is high. Clean layout within the software is helpful. Customisation means we are not forced to use pre-defined templates as with some other apps, so we can tailor the forms to suit our business processes.

The other side of the customisation coin, is that the forms seem to need creating from scratch. At least that's the feedback I have had, as a user, from the staff who are creating the forms, but this might be a gap in their knowledge so might be good to look at Elmo/talk with a rep to see what pre-defined templates they may have available.

Good integration with daily workflow, and compiled in a very respectful towards the learner

Not difficult at all, very understanding and easy to learn

its easy and fun to use. I enjoy the interactive aspects. the hover over sections are always interesting to look into. the questions at the end are some times tricky but always informative.

it's a difficult question, because its very streamlined and easy to use. i get reminders and updates. i couldn't say i like anything least or more.

it's learning module and performance module are very easy to set up and use. I have continuously received good feedback on those 2 modules.

Currently it hasn't got the remuneration module which we really need. if they can realise a good remuneration module soon it will be very helpful.

Easy. The directions given and the setup made it an easy platform to use

None really, The directions given and the setup made it an easy platform to use

easy to use according to funtionability

it was a trial, waiting to review the actual main software when set up

It's straightforward and the support available makes up for any uncertainty or challenges I have experienced.

The contracts module, if not purchasing the recruitment module, is quite clunky and unclear. There is very limited access to training material on it; luckily my implementation consultant is brilliant.

PROS: ELMO was relatively easy to install, and the single sign on function is great as it means we don't have to log on separately to use the system. The system has been branded to look the same as our other platforms, and is quite intuitive in terms of navigating around. The ability to deploy learning opportunities from the Library works well, and we're also able to generate our own content using the course builder. The support team have been great - particularly with more presence in NZ! The data and tracking we get from the system has worked well for us and allows us to provide real time analytics to our management team.

CONS: We have come up against some limitations, particularly around linking learning items together - e.g. if we want to run a webinar using Skype across the organisation, we can't embed the Skype link into an invitation direct from ELMO. We also wanted to be slightly "out of the box" and use ELMO for collation and recording of Driving Licence details for example, or apply for an unlisted external programme using the system. This proved to be more challenging than we thought, but it is probably more to do with an unintended use of the system rather than a particular system issue......

Ease of use initially, generally the administration of courses etc is easy, the coursebuilder is good too and is getting easier to use with recent updates.

More functionality and features for L&D would be great. Better options for pointing users directly to a specific course for sign up. More options for content management and curation within the Learning module.

Ease of use and ability to implement product is very high

You currently don't have the ability to have two managers

Easy for users to use when selecting and completing modules

Difficult & time consuming to set up
Requires prior knowledge & skills of HTML coding
Build platform confusing
Desktop and Mobile must be built separately - duplication
Mobile has no working flash, plain text only so user experience not engaging
Restrictive on videos, pictures and file attachment size

very practical and great layout, keep up the great work

nothing to note

Very customisable features for onboarding and recruitment modules.

Lack of user friendly editing options e.g. Having to delete an option because you can not edit a field.

Excellent product- has allowed us to bring training , onboarding and payroll and a Human resource database into one system

Document attachment could be larger to allow bigger documents to be saved

Easy to use for my employee's performance review

I don't have encounter any during my usage

Great management software. Brings transparency to ones performance

I did not have any bad experience with this software.

being able to see things such as forecasted leave helps an employee to work out when they can take leave etc.
being able to share recognition with peers and for the company to see it also is great.

perhaps the forecasted leave could be on the home page of the leave? just sometimes a little annoying to go through different pages to find out?

Looks pretty
nice colours
sales people will tell you anything you want to hear

The sales team promises you everything, but doesn’t know how the system works.
The payroll package is only part built and only partly functioning.
Stay away!

This product allows you to find what you need with ease. Places items needed to do on top and gives you a clear time period to have the items completed.

The program doesnt have the items in alphabetical order making it sometimes difficult to find something in a hurry.

Easy to use great support available, has numerous functions for all companies

the worst thing about the prduct is the amount of time it took my company to take advantage of ELMO

Easy to use and navigate around - on both iPad and computer. Love the home page with lots of options to tap into!

Nothing really to mention here… the software system is so easy to use.
