Easy on-boarding of resources and skills. > > **Cons**: Report builder need to be more flexible. Mass deletion is not available, in case of modification of skills records. > > It fulfill our company purpose as a temporary solution which you could launch easily in almost less than 24 hours. ----- ### "Forever Fan" — 5.0/5 > **Marlia** | *31 March 2023* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: When I first learned about SkillsDB, I was at a previous employer. I was charged with finding a tool that could (1) streamline our skills management process; (2) simplify self-assessments; and (3) help leaders find specific skills for resourcing projects. SkillsDB can do that and provide so much more\! My favorite feature is the Job Roles feature, which demystifies performance expectations for current roles and naturally establishes career paths that employees can aspire to achieve. > > **Cons**: For my previous employer and the client I'm working with now, the skills library doesn't contain as many out-of-the-box skills we can use. Each environment is highly specific with the skills that are tracked and how they are tracked, so we had to customize everywhere. This is one of those things where a weakness is a strength because the convenience of customization meant we could structure the skills and competencies to meet our unique business needs. That leads to ease of usability and faster adoption. > > From the initial inquiry to the implementation and ongoing use, the platform and the people have been fantastic. The interface is user friendly; however, if help is needed there is a robust help center, and customer support is never far away. There is a logical flow between all aspects of the platform so understanding how data in one area influences data in other areas makes sense. I also love the fact that SkillsDB complements learning paths and professional development plans, which is key for performance coaching. ----- ### "Good service to meet our needs" — 4.0/5 > **Katryn** | *31 March 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: We needed a system that would allow us to easily track employee skills and qualifications- one that was accessible by our employees for self-disclosure, as well as one that our BD and Proposal team could utilize effectively. SkillsDB met this need- providing an easy to use, self-managed resource. Customer Support and set-up assistance were awesome. SkillsDB has met a need we have long had and is being used effectively across the company. > > **Cons**: Cleaner searches-- results are sometimes difficult to find > > Overall, SkillsDB met our need and provided the insight we need into our employee skills and growth opportunities. ----- ### "Great product for anything from complex to basic skills tracking needs" — 5.0/5 > **Sahara** | *18 December 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The out of the box features are dynamic and can be easily applied to a variety of use cases in any professional setting. Adding and updating data from the front-end of the application is intuitive and easy to do. There is a uniqueness to Skills DB Pro that aligns user-friendly simplicity with advanced analytics and tracking capabilities. > > **Cons**: The only thing I can think to say is that the GUI itself could be "prettier". And even that is a personal preference that has very little impact on our users and the applications of the data. > > The people at Skills DB Pro are very clearly talented in both their technical skills and their interpersonal skills. Customer service has always been prompt and effective plus it comes with a unique personal touch that is rare for corporate relationships. They have been attentive to our needs, receptive to our thoughts, and it's evident that they want to see us succeed in using their application. ----- ### "Happy to have found Skills DB Pro" — 5.0/5 > **Wolfgang** | *29 June 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: SSO Easy to use Employee \& Manager assessment Find an expert Function JobRoles incl. link to skills and trainings (competency model) Reporting \& Filter opportunities Export functionalities > > **Cons**: Find an expert -\> I would like to configure the information given with this function =\> Proposal given with ticket \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] Find best successor - compare to other employees =\> Proposal given with ticket \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] > > Easy to use Easy to implement into the infrastructure (Cloud based solution) Tailor made for the special purpose without lots of other modules which often must be bought and not of use. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/24927/skills-db-pro?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/24927/skills-db-pro) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
