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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Acorn Performance LMS of Acorn PLMS

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.

5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Keith Metcalfe of Acorn PLMS

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.

"A Clear Winner"
5/5
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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
