"Tailored, Intuitive Experience with Outstanding Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Kahuna?

The team a t kahuna worked with us to understand our process, identify our needs, and tailor the experience such that it was intuitive and required almost no training beyond an introduction. We adopted a spiral-bound manual checklist into a kahuna task application and as soon as we showed users how to log in and see their tasks, they could figure out the rest.

What do you dislike about Kahuna?

Based on my involvement with the development, it was hard to limit how many alerts I received so I disabled alerts entirely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customized Tool with Outstanding Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Kahuna?

I greatly appreciate Kahuna's robust customer support, which has been instrumental in assisting us with setup and ensuring we have the necessary resources. Their support team has consistently provided excellent service, making the implementation process smoother. I also value the ability to customize Kahuna to meet our specific organizational needs, and this customizability stands out as a key feature. The intuitive search feature is incredibly handy for quickly finding competencies, and the capability for group competency validation streamlines processes significantly, allowing multiple people to be checked off at once. This is far more efficient than our previous paper-based methods. Additionally, the digital platform provides comprehensive reporting capabilities, enabling us to generate detailed insights on-demand. Since transitioning to Kahuna, we've experienced enhanced organizational visibility, where leaders can easily gain insights into staff competencies and proof of competence can be pulled for regulatory bodies without difficulties. Overall, the combination of these features and the personalized customer support make Kahuna an exceptional tool for our clinical competency tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kahuna?

I would like the ability to assign competencies with a clearly defined due date to help set timing expectations. Additionally, I find the inability for a leader to customize competencies that expire, particularly at the campus or unit level, rather than requesting a new competency role build at a system-wide level, a limitation.

"Real-Time Skills Management to track, manage, develop and forecast your workforce."
4/5
What do you like best about Kahuna?

Kahuna offers us a real-time skills management system that integrates seamlessly with Workday, our HR platform. This system enables us to add both general office skills and competencies, as well as those specific to our core business knowledge and competencies also in manufacturing and service departments.

It gives our managers the tools to track, manage, develop, and forecast their teams effectively, while also helping to ensure compliance.

The Kahuna implementation team has been very supportive, a real pleasure to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kahuna?

There's nothing I dislike about Kahuna.

There are a few areas where further development could make it an even more ideal solution for our needs.

First, our business would much appreciate having a 'Competency Coverage' column in the team matrix. This column would display the current number of competent team members alongside the target number required for compliance. Such a feature summarizes in a glimpse whether we are compliant / meeting our targets.

Second, Kahuna has excellent features, however a few of them do not work for us, due to the system's back-end logic or the way colour coding and icons are handled in the front-end. As a result, we had to implement a workaround, which unfortunately led to bit more manual data entry.

Third, for non English speaking countries, Kahuna front-end can be translated to your required local language. Very helpful for a company our size with locations across the globe. Unfortunately it was more time consuming then we anticipated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kahuna?

I have been using Kahuna for three years to manage operator competency in chemical manufacturing plants. I appreciate how Kahuna enables the production of easy, auditable records of competency and offers clear training plans for manufacturing staff. The service and support from the Kahuna team are incredible; they are knowledgeable, helpful, and very responsive. I especially like that the Kahuna team is focused on delivering an excellent customer experience by continually improving the product and providing amazing, human support. Additionally, the initial setup of Kahuna was very easy, thanks to the assistance from the Kahuna team, making the transition smooth. Overall, I find Kahuna wonderful and cannot think of any areas for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for managers and employees to track competency requirements!"
5/5
What do you like best about Kahuna?

Easy to manage; Great customer support; Visibility of competencies makes it easy for our employees to know what they need to accomplish and where they currently stand. Integrates well with Oracle Learning. It's my favorite software to use every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kahuna?

My only suggestion for improvement would be to minimize the white space. Everything is presented on a white background. I'd like to see it organized a little more compactly with expansion buttons and presented with less white space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
