I like that Cognota is very simple and easy to use. The dashboards are easy to read, and you can create executive reporting from them. I also appreciate all the features and capabilities that allow me to provide ROI on programs and projects, as well as align with the business goals from a strategic standpoint. The ability to monitor and track all initiatives tied to the business is valuable. Additionally, the dashboards are a big help because I don't have to search for information. They include filters and options to custom-make dashboards, which is very helpful. The transition to Cognota was seamless, making everything easy compared to Microsoft Planner. The implementation team was easy to work with, making the setup process very easy and a great practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing at this time, other than maybe the features of Gantt charts aren't there. Subtasks are really big, and we don't have either of those. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing else like it. The ability to streamline our learning request intake from stakeholders is a game-changer. Then, being able to convert that request into a project that can be managed using the L&D project flow really reduces project management time and provides quick, easy visibility into a project's health.

If you over-rely on technology, you can miss out on beneficial relationship-building with stakeholders and seem transactional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use Cognota as our L&D Project Management platform. It's intuitive and navigation is easy to follow. Our internal clients have visibility of the training requests they submit, which is really beneficial. I also never heard the team say the setup was difficult, so that's a plus. I rated it a 10 on a scale from 1 to 10 for recommending it to a friend or colleague. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I find it challenging to clean up requests that didn't move forward. Particularly those that shouldn't have been submitted as training requests because they should be handled by a different department. Also, it's not integrated with any of our other systems.

The flexibility to customize the tool to make it fit my needs is one of my favorite features. They are also constantly updating and making meaningful updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My least favorite thing would be not being able to set a preference for sorting my project list. It always has a default and I need to sort by launch date every time I go to the project list Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I truly love the ease of use of the system! The end product is exactly what we need! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The downside to using Cognota is your become completely reliant on this product! The only downside that I have experienced is that there are some glitches on the exams when the design is scormed and added into an LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system is modern in design, intuitive and provides deep insights into our processes and projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some additional functionality would be great but mostly this is covered through Cognota and their product development pipeline Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would say the easy-to-understand UI and configuration portal make it one of the easiest tools I've helped implement in my career. It doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. It uses the best methods available to get your L&D on track as efficiently as possible. This is especially useful for any L&D team that hasn't previously utilized a platform for things like utilization metrics and organizing process flows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The tools available for exporting and importing data have been somewhat limited, and there can be some parts of the platform that are not quite as intuitive as I think they could be. That said, the Cognota team has been highly responsive to our needs to help better their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that my customers can submit requests that can then be approved and turned into projects quickly and easily. I like the ability to track the actual hours spent on a task and not just the projected hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I still think the Insights display needs work. It cuts off definitions and doesn't show a rollup of hours spent on completed tasks. I've provided this information to Cognota and they are looking at making the changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of use. The way that I can create many different types of materials for different learning styles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
None. It has honestly been the best product I have ever used. I have been in learning and development over 10 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
