Acorn Reviews & Product Details

Acorn is the skills and development platform that closes the gap between what your people need to be able to do, what they can do today, and what is working to close it. Every role gets a standard, drawn from a framework of thousands of capabilities and proficiency levels. Your people capture the work they do against that standard, and the assessment is the checkpoint where a manager confirms what that work demonstrates. Development plans turn the gaps into action, and learning builds the skill. What a company holds is workforce evidence: proof of what its people can achieve, drawn from the work itself. Every AI suggestion is grounded in the organisation's own configured framework, and a named person signs off before it reaches an employee. Assessment results are evidence for a conversation, never an automated decision about anyone's career. Acorn serves customers across HR, Talent Management and L&D teams globally.

"Fantastic product and amazing support team"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Acorn?

For our business, the option to have multiple tenancies makes the world of difference. The ability to have different branding, content and administrators makes it so easy for us to customise for maximum impact and ease of delivery to our employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

Loading the content for a course can be a bit clunky given the way it system is structured. You need to know to go into certain settings rather than it being a step-by-step process from start to finish. It leaves room for errors by the person setting it up. There are so many options to make it suit the needs of the business but that can sometimes be overwhelming until you get the hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acorn:

I would recommend it to businesses with users over 100 (or expecting to grow over 100). It really shows the full potential if you need multiple tenancies to cater or different businesses. there are constant improvements being made which shows the product is just going to keep getting better.

What problems is Acorn solving and how is that benefiting you?

We didn't have any way to track our employee training and compliance before getting the Acorn LMS. We also didn't have anywhere to store forms/templates and other employee shared information. We now have those 2 systems in one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly recommend Acorn LMS!"

5/5

What do you like best about Acorn?

As an admin, I use this platform for reporting purposes. I have always found it user friendly, intuitive and accommodating. We have constantly received positive feedback about this new platform by other staff members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

IT would be useful to have some tutorials for beginners on how to use the administrative functions of LMS. Without being guided through, it might be difficult to learn without being guided. However, it is quite intuitive so it's not hard to figure out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gil, we noted that it's been a while since your review and wanted to give you a heads-up that we recently released a new user role. User Role Manager. We wanted to let you know as this was something you commented on. We included the link below. Thanks again for the feedback. Hopefully this helps.
