"AkkenCloud"
3.5/5
What do you like best about AkkenCloud?

My team uses AkkenCloud predominantly for time management and timesheets. With this in mind, Akken is easy to use for time entry and allows you to keeps track of various expenses, standard timesheets, and overtime, and also allows you to enter effort against different roles or positions. It is simple and easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AkkenCloud?

There are a few quirks that can be frustrating. If you click on the time menu, the navigation automatically takes you to "expenses" compared to the "timesheet" page. Both are time menu items; however, if you happen to click on the upper link, the navigation takes you to the first page - expenses - usually not where you intend to go. This issue is a minor navigation quirk, yet one that can be quite frustrating. Second, when editing a timesheet, Akken always launches a second window or pop-up. A better approach would be simply allowing a user to access the timesheet in the same window. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Akken Cloud has set me free!!"
5/5
What do you like best about AkkenCloud?

I love that using a cloud-based program has given me the freedom to work from wherever. This past year has presented everyone with trying to figure out what to do next. When having to work from home, it was a seamless transition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AkkenCloud?

There are some quirks that I have run across in Akken. For example, I feel like I have to update notes in many places. It would be helpful if notes would be on the candidate and the job order simultaneously without doing it in both areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GREAT RESOURCE"
4.5/5
What do you like best about AkkenCloud?

AKKEN IS A GREAT SYSTEM FOR SIMPLIFYING THE PROCESSING OF APPLICANTS. IT HAS BEEN A LIFESAVER THIS PAST YEAR. THE EASE OF USE HELPS BOTH OUR COMPANY AND THE APPLICANT. I LOVE THAT IT IS CLOUD BASED AND CAN BE USED ON THE GO. THE INFORMATION YOU NEED IS ACCESSIBLE WHENEVER YOU NEED IT.

THE FILING SYSTEM IS VERY HELPFUL AND ALSO IS GOOD FOR THE ENVIROMENT! I LIKE THAT YOU CAN HAVE ALL YOUR INFORMATION STORED AND READILY AVAILABLE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AkkenCloud?

I WOULD SAY I DO NOT "DISLIKE" ANYTHING...BUT AS A USER I DO SEE AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT.

I WOULD LIKE TO SHE THE PHONE/CONTACT FIELDS FORMATTED WHERE THEY WERE NOT A JUMBLE OF NUMBERS AND WHERE THE NUMBERS INFORMATION WOULD REQUIRE THE NUMBER OF DIGITS NEEDED TO COMPLETE A VALID NUMBER.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE A PLACE WHERE THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION COULD BE CENTRALIZED.

IN THE NOTES AREA, I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO EDIT IN THE ORDER OF THE TIME. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Keeps Me Organized"
4/5
What do you like best about AkkenCloud?

Akken keeps all the critical information I need to do my job in one centralized location, helps me collaborate with colleagues, and provides the ability to search quickly for info that I need at a moment's notice in client meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AkkenCloud?

It would be more efficient if I didn't have to go into different categories to search for people ("Client," "Candidate," etc.) and could instead search for a person in only one place and see in that one place all the ways they interact with my organization, since people often fit into multiple categories and interact with us as both candidates and clients at various points in their career. Would be more helpful if better integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I highly recommend Akken!"
5/5
What do you like best about AkkenCloud?

It's convenient to send messages, uploading a resume is so much quicker and easier to do then entering everythig manually. I love being able to send an applicagtion via Akken that can be filled out online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AkkenCloud?

Some things could be a bit easier, such as adding a company or contact. Some jobs have various shifts. Instead of having to click on each day, adding Monday through Friday and start time and end time, would be much easier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Akken allows me to stay organized by planning out my day"
4.5/5
What do you like best about AkkenCloud?

I like being able to schedule my day by setting up calls, emails, appointments. My activities show up on my calendar. It is a great reminder to prevent tasks from following between the cracks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AkkenCloud?

It would be nice to be able to set a time frame from your calendar. For instance, the holidays are coming up, and I want to complete all tasks within that week. Currently, I can click on the calendar for a date in the future, but it does not save the time frame and one would have to do that every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"3 years with Akken"
1.5/5
What do you like best about AkkenCloud?

The task manager functions and setting reminders to follow up with candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AkkenCloud?

The clunky email and no mobile email options from my phone, unable to mass merge duplicate candidate profiles (more than 1 person at a time), Calendar should be the Outlook, not an entirely separate calendar. Why doesn't it pull an IP address location for candidates applying to filter out if they're close to the job location or not? Overall feels archaic and poorly configured for our usage.
