Elements.cloud Reviews & Product Details

I like the ability to attach instructional documents and videos to help end-users understand objects and fields. I also really like the built-in process mapping ability, including the ability to do sub-process maps within the same app. We have also found it to be useful when determining wider reaching effects of editing or deleting fields within our instance. I can see us using Elements to clean up clutter in our instance when we have time for such a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not a fan of every click opening in a new window. It makes it unwieldy after clicking around for even a few minutes, and difficult to navigate sometimes. Now that we have the product, it's been easy to tell that we are being leveraged to try to get other companies we're working with to use Elements as well. I understand the tactic and see the value in our partners using the same product, but it has caused extra work and unnecessary meetings for us when it is not our priority at the moment in the project and we need to focus elsewhere.

The ability to drill down into specific processes. Also, being able to add resources and their responsibilities, as well as attachments to each process make's for a much clearer picture compared to needing multiple swim lanes and notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a little time getting used to the UPN format after years of visio and lucidcharts, so additional training would be valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
