New to LMS and Loving Acorn’s Intuitive Platform and Excellent Support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeannette P. | Training Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2026 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** Our nonprofit has finally took the plunge to get an LMS, and Acorn has made this transition super smooth. The system is user friendly and intuitive, and the customer support has been excellent. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** As new LMS-users, there is a bit of a learning curve to the system, and we are having to upload most of our content ourselves. Acorn has provided guidance, but we weren't prepared for the number of staff hours this would take. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Prior to Acorn, our training program was managed by spreadsheets and forms, which were prone to human error and tedious to maintain. Acorn is providing a one-stop shop for our staff for all things training-related, which we hope will increase engagement and make it easier for staff to access their training history and future professional development. We're also excited about the ability to automate reminders, emails and workflows. ### 2. Central Information Hub with Prompt Support **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Maddie O. **Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2026 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** I really appreciate Acorn PLMS as a good central hub for information and programming. The support team, including Jenny, always responded quickly, which was crucial when we faced functionality issues. There are plenty of resources available to learn more about the platform. We often use the momentum feature, as well as the courses and live sessions, which we find quite valuable. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** The reporting isn't my favorite. Also, we use it in conjunction with Articulate courses, and there's no easy way to ensure the data collected by Articulate ends up in Acorn PLMS. I want the ability to report on users' SCORM progress/results within Acorn. The platform should allow discussion forum posts to notify all users, not just those who have commented on the forum. I also wish it was easier to copy and transfer momentum across multiple sites and tenancies. We are still experiencing some functionality issues. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Acorn PLMS as a central hub for information and programming. ### 3. Acorn PLMS is a game changer **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Justina K. | Learning Experience Specialist , Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 16, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Acorn has been an absolute game changer for our company. Our previous LMS was missing many modern features, but Acorn has exceeded expectations—especially with the ability to fully personalize the homepage to reflect our company branding. We love how customizable it is, from the types of reports we can pull to the workflows and the ease of creating the catalog. The biggest highlight, though, has been the outstanding customer support from Stan and Jenny. They were incredibly responsive, quick to provide solutions, and shared guides that were actually useful. Their support made the transition smooth and stress-free. We’re excited about our partnership with Acorn and can’t wait to see the continued impact it will have on our team’s learning and development. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** I wouldn’t say this was entirely Acorn’s fault, but we did experience a few hiccups when setting up the workflows. It took some extra configuring before everything was running as expected. That said, glitches are to be expected when working with a new platform. Once we connected with Jenny and Stan and got on the same page, the integration went smoothly and everything came together perfectly. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Combining two platforms into one. Previously we did not have access to a performance system and had to do it manually in house which was very time consuming. ### 4. Modern looking platform with many features and great support **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Emma L. | Learning and Development Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 10, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** My favorite part of using Acorn PLMS is how customizable the site is. We were able to simply build custom dashboards that match our company branding and are modern and inviting. We’ve been able to create workflows to simplify our processes and automate tasks that used to take us hours each week in our previous platform. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** Some of the workflows can be a little wonky to learn. We’ve had a few hiccups with them after thinking we had things set up correctly. One example would be due dates to be based on assignment, not on course. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Acorn is helping us save time while still driving learning! We’ve been able to automate several things that historically would have taken a lot of time. Additionally, we’ve seen a large increase in engaged learners since moving to Acorn due to the ease of use as a learner and how inviting the site looks. ### 5. Improved Experiences in Acorn PLMS **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shaun C. | LMS Operations Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** We have been using Acorn PLMS for just about 6 months. There are three primary improvements compared to our use of a previous system. 1) Improved Learner Experience: ​With Acorn's multi-tenancy features, we have the ability to easily provide targeted, branded experience to our Client-Partners and other teams. We have not had negative feedback from any learners regarding difficul​ty using the site - it is intuitive for learners. 2) Improved Visual Experience for learners and administrators: With Acorn's Widget Dashboards, we are able to more quickly provide a home page or reports dashboard, as well as display in a variety of formats. 3) Improved Administrative Experience: Ease of access, design, and super-responsive support and partnership from our technical account manager and the client success and support teams, as well as original sales team. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** This is not a dislike, it is an adjustment in expectations and processes. In a previous system, our administrators had more freedom to manage and adjust user data. With Acorn, if we need to adjust user data (usually administrator error in enrollments, occasionally user error), I submit a ticket to request an adjustment to the database. It is an extra step, and provides checks and balances to ensure we are correctly adjusting data. We are moving from independence to partnership and improved quality. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Acorn has helped us to solve the issue with specific-branded experiences for our Client-Partners through the multiple tenancies they offer. We can still track and report on the same course through multiple tenancies while providing some different experiences on the peripheral pages. We can personalize pages, programs, and more without changing courses. We can provide same content and report individually or across the platform, giving us the information we may need for varying audiences internal and external. ### 6. Exceptional Support and Customization, True Partnership Experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** First and foremost, the team at Acorn demonstrates a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. We faced a complex implementation for an external use case, and they devoted both time and technical expertise to ensure it functioned exactly as we required. As our needs have changed, they have adapted alongside us, acting as genuine partners throughout the process. We also greatly appreciate the user interface and the ease with which we can customize and white label for our clients. Additionally, Acorn's dedication to continuous improvement, regular feature updates, and responsiveness to our needs is something we truly value. We are not quite ready to leverage Capabilities, but are excited about the additional feature to create high-impact, tailored learning journeys. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** Likely solved by adding Momentum, but for our external use case, we offer 1-year licenses. It would be great to have more flexibility for automated emails that include reminders of a subscription expiring and ability to easily renew. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were looking for a way to expand the distribution of our learning content and deliver tailored learning environments specifically for B2B sales. Acorn has allowed us to offer this solution to our clients by utilizing their platform, while we contribute our extensive industry expertise. This combination lets us create a distinctive outsourced LMS that features content tailored to the needs of our industry. ### 7. Great Experience with Acorn PLMS **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kenzie B. | Training Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 11, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** Acorn PLMS has been such a positive experience. The platform itself is very intuitive, easy to navigate and not overly complicated to figure out on your own. What set Acorn apart is their team. They are always willing to answer questions, and they make the onboarding process smooth by holding weekly check-in calls. Having that consistent support while also working with a straightforward system has made this change simple and stress-free. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** Honestly, nothing to report that I disliked about working with Acorn. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Many systems feel clucky or outdated, Acorn stands out because it's modern, easy to use, and packed with simple features. The simplicity of the navigation means our team van get what they need without frustration, while the wide range of tools and capabilities gives us room to grow and customize. ### 8. Incredible Experience with Acorn **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 15, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** This PLMS is an all generation friendly LMS. We opted for the Performance package, and have automated our forms and evaluations. Finally found a way to get supervisors and staff aligned and accountable for their evaluation due dates. The format is easy to brand and easy for staff to learn right away. Our employee usage at 7 months into Acorn is up by 87%! The back end had a few tricks to learn, but the Acorn staff was literally holding my hand the whole time through implementation and in making sure I and my team knew how to use the features. The Acorn Academy training was perfect for review when I forgot something, and videos of trainings were sent out so we could use as a refresher as some sections you only update occasionally. But the support is something I need to talk about - hands down, the BEST group I have ever worked with period. Issues are handled immediately, and it's all hands on deck when something comes up as an issue. They have had a blazing fast turnaround on support tickets, and my support rep, Jenny has been an incredible resource as well as a kind and patient human being. I have interacted with multiple Acorn staff, and all I can say is what a wonderful group of people - all wanting to help and doing their best to ensure the customer had what they needed. We had two popular LMS for years, and we sometimes waited weeks for any kind of support response. My issues are usually fixed the day I email. I love the fact they have continual updates, and patch notes are put out every two weeks with new features. This system has more features for half the price of most of the giants out there. Huge recommendation for organizations looking to expand their learning and automate forms! **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** Overall, the Acorn team did an incredible job with our implementation. The holdups we had were from our HRIS side, which took our implementation longer than planned. We had one add-on to Acorn that had an issue, and both of us missed it. Acorn did jump on the issue right away, and upper leadership even got involved to make it right. I love the momentum feature, but I think there could be a way to make the builder more user friendly, with blocks that auto-connect, or a type in feature for what you need and the system builds it automatically, so those with no experience can easily develop their forms. Capabilities are awesome - and the support for that also, but assigning them to every video and training is very cumbersome for almost 2k in content trainings that the organization needs to do at implementation. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Form automations, such as our performance evaluations have always been an issue. We are now using Acorn, and in the first month of rollout, have completed over 150 evaluations that were overdue from our old cumbersome paper forms. We love that it is in the same place as their development activities, and we are able to look towards succession planning now. I couldn't even hit 15% usage with my old LMS that was difficult to navigate. My staff is utilizing Acorn at an incredible rate and my leaders are contacting me with new usage questions, and can we add on "this" too? Now everyone wants training and development activities added to the LMS. Huge benefit for my team and our data. ### 9. Excellent Product, Even Better Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Laura M. | Training Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** There are so many great things about Acorn PLMS! First, working with their staff from the research/demo phase to implementation has been phenomenal. I can't say enough how helpful and patient they have been through the whole process of purchasing and implementation (still ongoing for me).Our company is building a training department from scratch, and as Training Manager, one of my first priorities was to research and find an LMS that works well for our company. At a conference, I met Jon Pettigrew, and thus began the consideration of Acorn PLMS. Acorn has a great LMS to catalog all your learning, whether it is content you have created internally or integrated from a partnered library. What makes Acorn PLMS even better than other LMSs is its additional features, Capabilities and Momentum. Capabilities adds another layer to understanding where your learners are and where they may need some extra attention. We are excited to implement Capabilities in our company so that employees can see not only where they are, but also what they need to work on to advance within the company and proactively work toward those goals. Although I haven't done much with Momentum yet, I have LOTS of ideas for it, and being a training department of one, any automation in processes will help me out tremendously. I also love the user-friendliness of the platform, and am confident our employees will feel the same when they get to use the system soon! **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** To be honest, there really isn't anything worth noting that I dislike at this time. I am still in the implementation stage, but everything has gone smoothly. Maybe a future suggestion would be for SCORM files to open and be interactive within the platform itself instead of taking you to another window for an even more seamless structure, but certainly not a deal-breaker! **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Acorn PLMS is allowing for us to have all of our training materials in one place. This will allow us to keep everything organized and up to date. We also have not previously done data tracking on training, so we are excited to have that for our employees as well! ### 10. We have a unique company and Acorn continued to rise to the occasion. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jenni B. | Training and Development Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** How easy the platform is to use, doesn't matter if you are an admin or a user. The platform is extremely user friendly. Jenny has been fantastic throughout the entire process. She is quick to respond to any and all communication and is available for calls whenever needed. I look forward to building what we have inside of Acorn and being able to use the platform to its full capacity in the next couple of years. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** Momentum has almost all of the features our company needs. They did develop a couple while we were implementing but this would have been the thing I disliked the most. The ADP integration was also not as easy as I thought it would be. We are still working on solutions on our end to make ADP reports fit the field Acorn needs. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We did not have a LMS, so it was solving for that. As well as performance management. Our old system for performance reviews (ADP) lack luster and was not user friendly. ### 11. Big LMS feel with a personal experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jessica H. | Training and Development Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 29, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** I liked that everyone at Acorn made an effort to know who we were - professionally, as a company, and personally, as a Trainer and Educator. Getting a new LMS is daunting. They were patient and willing to explain things for us as many times as our team needed. They were also very accommodating to our strict (and sometimes annoying, but needed) IT security requirements. I am a professor, so I had a long list of things I wanted out of this Professional Learning Management System. Acorn is aesthetically pleasing and easy to learn. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** The only issues I had was learning the different lingo and what they meant to me as an admin and a content creator. However, everything was explained in the onboarding process. This is the nature of any technology/software. Acorn fully anticipates this, and provides a robust kick-off and onboarding process to counteract any confusion. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating learning sandboxes that allow for targeted educational paths and audit friendly required trainings. This makes our lives in HR and training easier, and it makes it easier for the learner to access needed and required content. ### 12. Amazing **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** We have been on the look out for a while for a new LMS system. After going through over 20 vendors we come across Acorn during a conference we were attending. Andrew has been working with us every step of the way and is very knowledgeable of all things about Acorn. He was very patient as we navigated which route we wanted to take and we had a ton of questions. His response time was phenomenal and his rugby skills were put to the test! Acorn really stood out from the crowd as being a performance based LMS, which was a big positive to our organization. Andrew was amazing and we look forward to working with the team as we continue forward. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** So far we haven't experienced any issues. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have had a big issue with the limited testing and interactive abilities with our current system. Acorn seems to have everything we're looking for so we are excited to learn more about the system as we more forward. ### 13. 5-Diamond Patient Safety Program **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Heather C. | Outreach Coordinator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** Platform is user friendly and support team is very responsive; not a lot of wait time when questions or issues arise. I do think my favorite part of Acorn is the support team. As for the platform itself, the ease in moving things around when creating modules and the easy upload of resources/requirements. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** Some of the form question templates are limited. ex. We would still like to be able to have a Likert-like scale design so we can ask how many people answered each answer option to a question (wrong or right) to be able to see what they believe the answer to be and hone in on why the wrong answers are being chosen. ex. numeric fields are a rolling drop-down option only with - and + options; would like the option to set a question as a numeric field but also they enter that number as a whole number. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Support Housing all of our learning tenancies in 1 platform Ability to run reports from 1 location Ultimately reducing time Ultimately reducing costs ### 14. Smooth and well-supported—the team was responsive, and the system met our training needs effectively **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cassidy M. | Human Resources Generalist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** The absolute best thing about Acorn is the performance module. Combining performance and learning is simplifying our internal processes. It is user friendly and has the capability to be used on handheld devices, which a lot of our staff prefer. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** The implementation process took longer than anticipated. However, we had a complicated case, and I appreciated the intentionality from Jenny, who made herself available to us 24/7. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Acorn is combining our performance and learning! This allows us to streamline both processes while increasing employee engagement. ### 15. A Great Platform with a Few Improvement Opportunities **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jamie M. | Operator Success Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 03, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** I really enjoy using Acorn PLMS! It's incredibly user-friendly, looks great, and the support team is always so kind and helpful. They truly make a difference when you need assistance. Looking ahead, I’m excited about the potential to explore more creative uses for the "P" in PLMS—it feels like there’s so much room for innovation! **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** One thing that could be improved is the flexibility of the reporting features. While they provide all the essential data you need, having more customization options would make them even better. Also, the form feature is helpful, but it doesn’t allow you to download your responses. For one specific task where our customers need a copy, it does present a bit of a challenge. Overall, it’s a wonderful platform with so much to offer, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it continues to evolve! **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Acorn PLMS has been a game-changer for us, helping solve several challenges by bringing everything into one easy-to-use platform. It’s automated our processes, making it so much simpler to manage and deliver consistent, high-quality learning experiences. The platform is intuitive and gives our content a polished, professional look that fits perfectly with our brand. Plus, being able to easily track our customers’ progress has made it easier to support them and ensure their success. It’s really made a difference in how we operate and has helped us improve both the efficiency and impact of our learning programs. ### 16. ! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** It is nice to have a dedicated customer success manager. Jenny Tran always makes herself available to help. I appreciate her commitment to making sure our migration and implementation was successful. She even called us on the day we went live with our first tenancy to check on us! The platform allows for the customization we need and could not find with other vendors. The end user experience has been positive. Jenny is a wonderful employee. You are lucky to have her on your team! **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** Some of the reports do not function as we would like so there is still manipulation that is needed on our end. I do not like having to select All Filters, Visible Content, Hidden each time I go into a tenancy. It would be nice for administrators to have the default select "Hidden" for the tenancy to see all the courses. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Acorn is helping us provide education to a wide number of nursing home employees and other customers using customized features to meet our unique needs. We can better serve our customers. ### 17. Gained knowledge and experience using a PLMS which I have never used before. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michele S. | Talent and Organizational Development Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** Once I learned the different aspects and tools, I was able to create momentum workflows. I have increased my knowledge. I love how the forms are identical in their layout and are cross functional. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** That you can't copy questions with ease unless it's in a template. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have created a user-friendly workflow for our performance evaluations. We are utilizing the courses to create content to benefit and build different trainings by department. ### 18. Customized Solutions & True Partnership **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bre G. | Graphic & Web Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** Our experience with ACORN has been phenomenal. Their team truly works to make our live and on-demand learning and external e-commerce integration work for our business and the students we serve. Our industry requires regular certifications and complex information gathering, and at every turn, we found ACORN willing and ready to make it work. From creative data solutions and implementation support to helping us train our staff on the new platform, reporting, and integration of live learning and online options, they were always ready to lend a hand and stretch their capabilities to meet our needs. We chose ACORN for their partnership values and the amazing team we have the privilege of working with and we couldn't be more satisfied with the results. The platform itself is easy to use for our administrative team and students who are on it daily and their support is top-notch. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** We found there to be a few limitations with reporting, but their team is working to make solutions for us that are affordable and meet our needs. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a large number of users who need to learn simultaneously, our previous solutions were not capable of handling our user load and ACORN made the switch affordable, easy to implement, and allows our users a customized learning experience that we feel proud to put forth,. ### 19. Linking Coursework to Performance **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Outsourcing/Offshoring | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** The interface is customizable, so it was easy for us admins to set up the page. Our CS Officer helped us with weekly touchpoints. What sealed the deal for us, to move from our old LMS to Acorn was its price point, considering that it has one extra feature that our old LMS doesn't have--Capability Development. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** There were some features we enjoyed with our old LMS that were not available on Acorn, like Go1 integration with free 25 courses, mobile app option, match list quiz type, and ease of assigning administrative roles across tenancies. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** For our company, our old LMS has only been a library of courses. It wasn't tied to performance and skill development. Acorn's Capability Development module should help solve this gap. Hopefully, once we're able to link this via API to our new HRIS, we'll see an increase in overall utilization from all employees. ### 20. Acorn has a very valuable LMS system that is very easy to use. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lisa C. | Account Manager Team Lead, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 03, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** Acorn allows our company to put all the resources our Account Managers and operators in one spot. This makes their job much easier and allows them to be more efficient. Everyone I have worked with at Acorn has been wonderful from sales to tech support. We love working with Geordie. He is amazing! Purchasing Acorn was a great decision and everyone has been very impressed by the site. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** I have not had anything that I have found to not like at this point. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Making resources easily available to our Account Managers and Operators which will be a hige time saver for myself and other Account Managers. ### 21. The Acorn system is relatively easy to understand, even for someone with no prior experience. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sydney S. | Healthy Pantry Initiative VISTA, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** I like the ability to customize most aspects of the LMS to fit your organization's branding. For my case, we have multiple organizations using the system, and it is really helpful for each organization to have their own branding and autonomy over their own tenancies. I use the LMS most work days and it's usablity is consistent. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** Some aspects are not customizable and make using the system for our specific reason a little more difficult. However, Acorn staff have been very gracious in helping us find ways to address problems creatively. It takes a while to get used to the system and implement/integrate it across different organizations. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a way to train food pantries on practices on a statewide level. Acorn has allowed us to do just that and still give autonomy to our food banks. ### 22. We are partners not just a patron **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Audra S. | Training and Resources Coordinator, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 01, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** The Acorn team has been professional, flexible, accommodating, and patient with us during the implementation process. We selected Acorn after meeting with 18 LMS vendors primarily because we felt that we would be true "partners" and not just "partrons" who purchased the product. The platform is easy to use and our employees are loving it. Having the added "performance" or Capabilities functions is truly unique and we can't wait to fully incorporate all that Acorn PLMS has to offer to both our team members as well as our team leaders. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** We have yet to find a "dislike" or downfall. They have helped us with all of the relevant areas that we were lacking in our previous LMS and add so much more functionality. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** I could write a novel on the challenges that Acorn PLMS has solved for us regarding our LMS as well as embarking on career progressions and learning plans. Using the platform solely for internal company purposes to be the "Professional Development" source of truth has had its challenges, but Acorn PLMS has found solutions to each challenge we encounter. **Official Response from Acorn Performance LMS:** > Your review has impacted us at Acorn. We regularly discuss that our path to success is paved with the success of our project sponsors. If we succeed together, we will be true partners. Oh yeah, and being the top choice out of 18 made our day. Thanks for taking the time to share this. ### 23. Great LMS with awesome support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paul L. | Head of Product & Development, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** We recently transitioned from our previous LMS to Acorn, and the experience has been fantastic. Special shoutout to Jenny Tran, our implementation specialist, who went above and beyond to make the process smooth—from start to launch. Jenny was always available (even at midnight!) to answer questions and help with any hiccups along the way. Our switch was no small task—we have 26 franchise locations and a team of 500, so it wasn't easy—but Jenny helped make it incredibly smooth. The platform itself is easy to use, packed with features and has powerful reporting tools that will definitely help us manage our learning more efficiently. We're beyond pleased with the exceptional support from Jenny—she made the entire process seamless and a pleasure! **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** While Acorn offers a great experience overall, there are a few areas for improvement. One downside is that the app only functions in offline mode, and with over 70% of our users preferring mobile devices for learning, a fully functional app would be ideal. There are also some limitations in terms of customization, but despite this, the platform still delivers a solid experience, and the mobile web browser version works well. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Acorn has really solved a lot of the issues we had with our old LMS, which was pretty outdated and lacked the customization, reporting, and learning tools we needed. Now, we can easily run different reports for user progress, completion, and compliance, which has been a game-changer for us. We’re also loving the Live Learning feature—it’s super convenient to host virtual and in-person sessions all in one spot. So far, our franchisees and staff across Canada and the US are thrilled with the upgrade! **Official Response from Acorn Performance LMS:** > Thanks for your comment, it's great to see such a diverse offering (ie 26 franchises in one platform). Thanks for the feedback on the mobile app. We've noted this internally. Also you made our (and Jenny's) day with your comment on CS. We like to hire people who care about our customers' success and Jenny is a true advocate in this way. ### 24. Great customer support **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tondrea D. | Communications Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** Our implementation rep was great at addressing our needs. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** The end product isn't as visually pleasing as some platforms. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows one of our projects to simplify the way questions are asked during evaluations. ### 25. Fantastic Experience **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Zachary J. | Director Of Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** The people that work for Acorn make Acorn great. Geordie and Cody have worked with me through all of the bumps in the road. I think the platform is also fantastic, incredibly easy to navigate for both admins and users. Implementation was incredibly simple. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** I have zero complaints about Acorn PLMS. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Acorns platform significantly reduced our workload with it's reporting features, and made it very easy for us to track user progress. Being in the education industry is difficult, but thanks to Acorn our efficiency metrics have increased significantly. ### 26. Acorn works well **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Breanna D. | Program Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** Geordie has been incredible for helping me set up the platform the way I needed it. The dashboard is beautiful now after his help and I feel more confident changing assignments and adding items. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** The way to grade the assignments is not user friendly. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can conduct classes online which adds to the amount of people we are able to assist yearly as well as increase the amount of people who can assist outside of the Jacksonville and Tampa areas. ### 27. Excellent Customer Service with Onboarding **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** The companies willingness to work on changes/solutions to assist us to meet our needs. Also the onboarding process was great with a dedicated person, Jenny, who was able to wrap her mind around our unique needs and offer solutions. She is very knowledgeable and flexible. Weekly calls assisted us to onboard to Acorn. The product is easy to use as is the reporting features. Thanks!! **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** We have only been live for a short time, so we are still learning, using... **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Unique usernames that are not email addresses, certificates issues with multiple disciplines, allowing people to be in multiple tenancies, ease of reporting... ### 28. Excellent experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** The platform is incredibly flexible and thorough. Our implementation specialist worked closely with us to provide all the support we needed and ensure that we got what we were looking for with Acorn and more. The interface is clean and intuitive, and makes for an attractive hub for our users to return to to access resources that were previously scattered across multiple webpages and platforms. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** In an ideal world Acorn would have come with a small selection of pre-designed courses to help get us started off (without having to purchase a package from one of their partners), but this is not a serious drawback. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed an integrated performance and learning management system so that we could connect performance goals to learning opportunities and minimize the number of different platforms we're directing people to. Acorn is also allowing us to create our own content specifically tailored to our needs, so we can offer compliance trainings, professional development opportunities, and department or institution-specific trainings all in the same place. **Official Response from Acorn Performance LMS:** > Thanks for your comments. It's great to see how you're connecting learning and performance. Regarding content, it's a tricky one. We're focussing on integrations so our customers can evolve with their changing content needs in one platform. We just added another major integrator (OpenSesame) and will add more in the future. ### 29. Great performance and training platform! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gail W. | Human Resources Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** Our company was looking to implement a performance review system as well as a training platform. I searched for quite some time for a cmpany that offered both management systems in one place. We were very excited when we found Acorn. They appear to be one of the very few companies that offers a PLMS system...exactly what we were looking for!!!! **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** Can't think of anything just yet; we're still in the implementation phase. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We currently lack a formal perfomance review framework and our training is a bit disjointed. Acorn solves both of these problems for us. **Official Response from Acorn Performance LMS:** > Gail, thanks so much for your response. We're thrilled that you're as excited about connecting learning and performance as we are. Just like peanut butter and chocolate, they belong together:) ### 30. A seamless platform for dynamic learning **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ruth Daryne C. | Learning and Development Associate, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 26, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** The platform and overall interface is easy to navigate and operate. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** It would be better to add more question types assessment such as picture choice questions and hotspot quiz for visual cues, fill-in-the-blanks, matching questions, and etc. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Acorn's scability and tenancy feature are awesome. Its intuitive interface and user-friendly design benefit the learners, admins, and overall organization. ### 31. Great LMS Tool! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kyle L. | Learning And Development - Senior Trainer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** It's customizable and user-friendly. The post-sale experience is also commendable. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** The tool needs to upgrade some of it's features particularly earning reward points for every course completed. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's allowing us to manage our learning resources most effectively and is genuinely important to the company because it's way affordable compared to other LMS providers. ### 32. Sally was awesome! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Administration | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** Acorn Support! Sally was great! We are a fairly new team and are currently working on optimising our use of Learnhub. Sally has been very patient with us, understood all of our issues and goals, and walked us through everything we needed to know. We now feel more confident in using the system. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** One of the problems we experienced was that we didn't know about certain actions needing longer to process. For example, we learnt that workflows only process 2x a day. If we missed this, our actions would take affect the following day. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our agency benefits from this system in numerous ways. The main benefit is that Acorn's PLMS is very intuitive and effectively fosters professional development for our agency. Staff understand the system and rarely ever need help. ### 33. Why I love Acorn and our Customer Success Officer **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Olivia F. | Program Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** It is very user friendly, and easy to understand. Also the ability to really customize our courses and dashboards has significantly improved our online program. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** I do not dislike any feature about Acorn. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our Customer Success Agent, Geordie Yang has been absolutely AMAZING at helping my organization streamline our dashboard and helping up make it more user friendly for our students. I cannot speak highly enough about him and his professionalism and customer service are unmatched. ### 34. Acorn is good yet offers good services. Just like any other PLMS, it has also some opportunities. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Reaven S. | LMS Admin, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 27, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** Automated reporting and customizable dahsboards. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** Some Acorn features that are not yet available; add more kinds of questions pools like matching type. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** The hassle in genrating report, since Acorn offers automated reporting which is very useful for me. ### 35. Straight forward tool for LMS **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rain R. | E-learning Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** Interface of the site is easy to navigate. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** the ui ux design of the site needs more improvement. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps the business grow in terms of providing easy training tool for our employees. ### 36. It's been a good experience so far. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** From an HRIS standpoint, I like how our system automatically feeds new employee information and profiles are created in Acorn within 48 hours! From a user perspective, it's nice to assign courses or surveys to employees, set up cohorts to complete certain tasks based on hire date, etc. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** The workflow design and momentum creation is quite convoluted. We were fortunate to have Jenny, our Implementation Specialist, walk us through how it works, listened to our needs, and translated our processes into Acorn's momentum workflow designs. After several iterations, and testing, we are now good with what we need! The only other issue I saw at the time of testing our product is that if all required sections are not completed in a form, there's no error popup to notify the user what's missing - people are expected to scroll around to find the incomplete section. We were told there's no fix available to amend this, so this is one minor system limitation I would suggest looking into. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** For the longest time, we have been using separate systems for performance management, learning and development, 30/60/90 day surveys, and exit interviews. Acorn seems to be the perfect go-to for all our HR talent management needs! The ease of HRIS data integration and automation is a bonus as well. **Official Response from Acorn Performance LMS:** > We love the fact that you were able to deploy quickly. There's nothing worse than a technology project that never sees the light of day. Also, we like how you're connecting learning and performance and then integrating that with your HRIS. Regarding Momentum, it's a great piece of feedback. The tool can do so much that it can take getting used to. We're bridging 'the ease of use with ability' in some upcoming releases. We're aiming to keep it powerful but make it easier to navigate. Thanks again. ### 37. Acorn PLMS is a efficient and user-friendly LMS. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2025 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** Acorn PLMS were good in terms of interface, which makes the learning manageable and the learning seamless and efficient. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** I haven't encountered anything bad so far. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Acorn PLMS helps in streamlining the budget by the cutting cost in integrating into new LMS.

Such as the use of bulk features on some admin work like tenancy swap. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our current platform does not have capability features which is available on Acorn. This can help us align our training programs on organizational goals based on Ranks and Roles. ### 39. User Friendly and Amazing Team **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Relations | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** Acorn is a very user friendly, many different functions. If you are unsure on how something works, their How to guides are good to follow. Even better is getting in contact with their staff. I have had the pleasure of working closly with Sally and Sam (the dynamic duo) in the implementation and all the help there after. Their knowledge of the system is amazing. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** Only downside would be not being able to connect directly to our IT system for it to automatically add and remove people. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ensuring our staff are up to date with current learning modules that we have. Reminding staff that their modules are due. ### 40. I had a great experience with Acorn. They have been helpful with every step of this process. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** It was easy to set up virtual training in Acron. Users also easily signed up the system and understood how to track their learning. I like how Acorn allows you to create custom categories for tracking and reporting. The Acorn representatives were also very friendly and helpful in this process. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** I have not had any issues with Acorn so far. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Acorn is allowing us to track and set up all the internal learning and development our organization does. ### 41.

Super cool feature! **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** That the user info can only be viewed on 1 tenancy. Also it isn't as mobile ready yet. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's cost effective but has most of the features we need at work ### 42. Excellent LMS and technical support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brigid H. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** Our team is very happy with the Acorn LMS and according to survey feedback from our participants, they are too. Here's a few quotes from our end users (who access the platform from Asia, the Pacific and Africa): "[I like the] Progress Tracking and Certifications: Features that allow users to track their progress, set goals, and earn certifications upon completion of courses can be motivating and rewarding, making the learning experience positive and valuable." "The platform is wonderful, well structured and easy to use." "In the new platform, we have more opportunities to interact with friends, trainers and organizers." As an admin, for me I have really appreciated the training and support provided by Acorn staff who have gone above and beyond on many occasions. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** I have made some suggestions for improvements to Acorn and I am finding that they are very much responsive to ways in which the LMS's features can be enhanced. Since using Acorn as an LMS, numerous suggestions for improvement have been or are currently being implemented. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** The Acorn LMS is providing a collaborative online learning platform for participants/end users who access the platform from around the world. It's features promote opportunities for networking and interaction which is a high level outcome of our program. **Official Response from Keith Metcalfe:** > Thanks for your response and suggestions for continual improvement. Some of our best enhancements come from our customers so we aim to keep our ear to the ground. We're also glad to see the feedback from users in different regions. Our multilingual release is something that we're pretty excited about. If you haven't seen it yet we included a link below. Also, a quick heads up that we recently released our Email Workflow which allows you to automate your certificate distribution. ### 43. A Clear Winner **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Emma B. | Corporate Training & Development Coordinator, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** When researching a new LMS for our company Acorn PLMS was a clear front runner when compared to other providers. Their innovative approach to training and performance management sets them apart from other LMS providers. The extensive reporting will be of great benefit to our company. Customization and a clean user interface was important in our search, Acorn PLMS offers extensive customization and an easy to use learner experience. The sales team was very helpful and quick to answer any questions or concerns. So far the implementation has been smooth. Cost is very reasonable compared to other vendors.

I look forward to digging deeper into the system. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Reporting. Our previous LMS offered limited reporting options that were difficult to read. AcornPLMS offers clear reports, that are easy customizable, giving valuable insight to our supervisors. ### 44.

I also enjoy that Acorn is very user friendly and our design team got up and running within 10 minutes of instruction! Finally I love their responseivness to our needs and ideas, they have made two changes based on our onboarding feedback and were incredibly quick with the turn around time! **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** The quiz builder is not the smoothest option and is limitting however they are working on an update with this and it looks like it should adress my concerns! **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is creating access to multiple points of content, reducing record keeping reduncies, allowing access to new customers, and streamlining feedback collection. ### 46.

Acorn PLMS has been a great LMS. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** I like the usability and all of the features that Acorn PLMS has to offer. The Customer support has also been great. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** My biggest downside currently is some of the terminology being a little weird. Momentums/Capabilties/Cohorts I feel are just throw away words that may not exactly describe what they are to users. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Acorn solved our older LMS having an outdated user interface. **Official Response from Acorn Performance LMS:** > Thanks so much for the comment on usability. We agonize over trying to allow our customers to make suitable user interfaces (UI) because we firmly believe that good UI=stronger adoption. Adoption is the enemy for all of us to attack on technology projects. If we win this battle, we win the hearts and minds of our users. Your comment on terminology is deeply appreciated and has already impacted some internal efforts to share our point of view more clearly on why our naming is the way it is. Keep this feedback coming. It makes us better. ### 48. Easy to use with a great team at Acorn ready, willing, and happy to support all our needs. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kathy H. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 11, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** The Team at Acorn is its greatest asset. They are always quick to respond and very helpful. The system is very user-friendly and intuitive. Once I started building courses I realized what an easy-to-use system it was! We will be integrating the capabilities features soon and I know that will be a game changer for the way we approach Succession Planning. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** Really, there is nothing I dislike about the system thus far! **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We need to deliver quick, and easily accessible training to a busy team. Acorn is a perfect platform that our users can easily navigate and get what they need without delay. The capabilities features will help us unlock our internal potential for our future succession planning efforts. ### 49. Best Client Experience - Wonderful People to Work With! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chelsea R. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 19, 2024 **What do you like best about Acorn PLMS?** The people who have been supporting us in the background, helping us get set up with a new learning platform. Geordie and Cody have been wonderful to meet and work with, and we have learned many opportunities to customize the platform to our unique needs and desires for our Early Learning community here in Dufferin County. Geordie has had so much patience and perseverance in working with us to ensure we understand the possible functionalities, and to navigate set-up in a way that works best for us and our users. It appears that our users will be able to easily transition to our new learning platform, which we will soon find out! Either way, we know that we will have the support to navigate any challenges that may arise in the process. We are also excited to utilize some of the data features across the site. Thank you Geordie and the Acorn team. **What do you dislike about Acorn PLMS?** The only possible dislike I can think of, is the language used across the site that has made learning navigation and site creation a little bit more challenging. A small trade off for all the good that appears to come from Acorn. **What problems is Acorn PLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ease of registration to our local events and learning opportunities for our early childhood educators, and keeping all of our early learning resources and opportunities together in one place. Providing opportunities for online communication through forums, and the possibility of creating cohorts or communities of practice virtually that can further support our in person encounters with the community. ### 50.
