ELMO Software Reviews

Pros

I use ESS ELMO software nearly every day in my role; for requesting leave, undertaking mandatory training, keeping an eye on performance KPI's and measurement.

Cons

Finding a payslip from my company is difficult.

Pros

The ease to pick-up and learn this platform, back end. I have used other products that have been far more complicated.

Cons

There are limitations, as with all systems. The 2 way integration with ELMO pay is a particular pain point resulting in duplication of work effort and not being able to create reports in Analytics combining HR Core and Payroll

Pros

We use ELMO to track compliance courses, as well as track performance appraisals. It does both of these jobs well enough.

Cons

The course building application is woefully restricting and dated. We don't use it anymore, and create eLearning modules in a different program to upload into ELMO.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

It's Practical and user friendly. Covers most of requirements

Cons

Navigation is a bit complicated and sometimes isn't clear

Pros

ELMO Software is a standout tool in HR management. Its comprehensive suite of solutions is incredibly user-friendly, covering everything from onboarding to payroll and performance management. The versatility of the platform truly shines when coordinating a multitude of HR tasks. The real-time data insights provided are second to none, allowing for actionable decisions to improve workforce engagement and productivity. Additionally, ELMO's commitment to integrating with existing systems makes implementation smooth and hassle-free.

Cons

Cannot really think of anything, the whole thing is pretty intuitive and easy to use.

Pros

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

Cons

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 ??

Pros

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

Cons

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

Pros

The leave monitoring and the update from the management. You will be updated and know what happen to the management. Specially for the offshore team

Cons

When i first log in my other password that was in my computer was remove

Pros

User-friendly and I like the design, easy to get started but can be improved in the future to be more powerful.

Cons

Sometimes, the function is not clear and makes me confused.

Pros

Easy to use, efficient for time-management and to enter new / old employee details.

Cons

Individual link sent for first time access, confusing.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

User friendly and great after sales support

Cons

it would be good to be able to assign 'course managers' so that other people in the business (other than admins) can manage attendance of specific training in their business units etc.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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

Cons

Not difficult at all, very understanding and easy to learn

Pros

Easy for users to use when selecting and completing modules

Cons

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

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

very practical and great layout, keep up the great work

Cons

nothing to note

Pros

Cloud based meant the system was easy to implement with little support required from internal IT resources. Very intuitive for end users with a clean interface, and most don't need much help to navigate around the system. Great support from implementation team even though it was phone based. Already experienced updates that have improved the functionality which is reassuring with product road map. Reporting really visual and easy to understand especially for managers. Very good value for money.

Cons

Data migration of learning records very manual but only a one-off pain point. Face to face event management is buried in system so not as intuitive for administrators and little visibility for facilitators that aren't administrators.

Pros

Easy to use for my employee's performance review

Cons

I don't have encounter any during my usage

Pros

User interface is familar and appealing
Performance and Learning modules are really simple and users like them
Workflow is simple for administrators
Account management support from ELMO is great
ELMO delivers to their roadmap, so things that are "coming" do happen

Cons

Recruitment module needs enhancements (they are coming)
Reporting could be more customisable
Would be good to have internal and external options for branding

Pros

Easy to use, simple interface, not to many animations

Cons

basic colours, sometimes took to long to charge

Pros

Very user friendly application and easy to navigate. Great to monitor processes and progress.

Cons

No feature which has been identified with an issue to date.

Pros

The Course Builder is a great tool with lots of customisation and its easy to use

Cons

one issue was with external training as this was very limited for what we need it for. There are heaps of comments about this in the help centre but we haven't seen any improvements yet

Pros

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

Cons

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

Pros

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

Cons

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