What do you dislike about Mapal Culture Suite?

Strong Recommendation Against Contracting with MAPAL Systems (Including Flow Hospitality)

We strongly advise against entering into any contractual agreement with MAPAL, particularly in relation to their Flow Hospitality system. Based on our experience, the platform and service offering fall significantly short of industry expectations and professional standards.

Key Concerns:

Lack of Account Management & Support

After securing a contract, the level of client engagement drops sharply. Sales representatives appear primarily focused on locking in long-term commitments, with minimal follow-up or ongoing support. Not easy to integrate with other system or implement into your tech stack.

System Reliability Issues

The platform frequently encounters technical glitches, including error messages, system crashes, and performance issues, resulting in operational disruptions.

Outdated and Unintuitive Interface

The user interface is severely outdated and not user-friendly. Making basic edits is cumbersome, and the support team is slow to respond to urgent queries. The system lacks basic features you find with other products on the market.

Ineffective Training Resources

The learning modules provided are not engaging, lack clarity, and appear to be outdated — making them largely ineffective for onboarding and training purposes.

Pros:

Unfortunately, we found no notable advantages to the system or service.

Recommendation:

We urge others to avoid the financial and operational drawbacks of engaging with MAPAL. Instead, consider alternative providers such as Tayl, Peninsula, Food Alert (excluding Alert65), or Trail. These companies offer better value for money, more modern solutions, higher levels of integration, and more flexible contract terms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mapal has been integral for our L&D needs"
What do you like best about Mapal Culture Suite?

How easy the platform is to navigate, learners can easily see the training to be completed and explore additional learning options at their leisure. I especially love the Career mapping capability, I have worked in L&D a long time and never been able to create a visual journey of career pathways available, that also curates learning opportunities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mapal Culture Suite?

Some elements of the platform took more time to develop as they were new and as first adopters this was challenging at times. The team were supportive in helping us to navigate and use the various elements to ensure we got the most value from them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ken Ume of Mapal Culture Suite

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. It's really important that we get feedback from our customers. I'm so glad you're enjoying Career Mapping. It's one of our favourite features too! We spent a lot of time working on it and it's great to see it bringing value in the field. I'd also like to thank you for being an early adopter. We really value the customers who take on that responsibility. We know it can be challenging which is why we try to put additional resources in to support the effort. Hopefully you'll consider being an early adopter again...or perhaps even a Beta user...

"A one-stop shop for creating and delivering a digital training journey"
What do you like best about Mapal Culture Suite?

The suite allows me to create personalised training journies for my team with easy-to-follow reporting tools to manage its execution and delivery.

The library of training modules provides a wide breadth of content to create programmes that are specific to individuals and job roles, and having the platform available as a mobile application means that the team can acess their training on-te-go.

The implemtation team were very patient in guiding me through the use of the system from an adminstrational perspective, and so far the follow up customer support have been really helpful where I've had questions about further building out our use of platform.

One of the reasons for choosing the Mapal suite was its ability to integrate with our HR and Scheduling software which saves us time having to duplicate new starters on both platforms separately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mapal Culture Suite?

It takes a little time to get familiar with the navigation tools; perhaps too many options that could be streamlined? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ken Ume of Mapal Culture Suite

Hi Mark.

Thanks for taking the time to review the Culture Suite. We're really proud of the outcomes we achieve with customers like you and it's always rewarding hearing the day to day impact of our efforts.

Thanks for the feedback on the navigation too...it's always helpful understanding where we can improve as well.

"A great product for engaging teams and analysing data"

Excellent range of products to suit learning differences - knowledge checks, work books, evolve - use of audio, visual, physical training techniques.

Easy reporting, on a wide range of topics.

Great customer service.

Integrates with our products so onboarding is slick and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mapal Culture Suite?

Can be very technical to build some products, which are difficult for operationally backgrounded team members to use.

Sometimes help centre takes. while to reply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Taking the fuss out of routines and checklists(compliance)"
What do you like best about Mapal Culture Suite?

Mapal is helping organizations bring all there data needs, routines and internal comms into the same platform.

Having worked with Compliance specifically we have managed to easily distribute effective routines and checklists to more than 800 staff members on a daily basis.

Compliance has helped us align our organization and allowed us to effectively be working on the same tasks regardless of geographic location.

Imagine having one person working in one way and another in another way...Compliance ensures that all 800 have the posibilty to work the same way, so the impact of this is huge for our organization.

One of my personal favourites about Compliance is the ability it has to impact quickly. By this I mean if we need a checklist or routine implemented asap it can be done with just a few easy clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mapal Culture Suite?

Have not worked with Mapal Culture Suite.

One downside I have noticed...

For existing and established organizations we do not always have the time to spend on a young developing platform. Essentially we do not have time to be the guinea pig of a platform and helping them to grow whilst compromising on our immeadiate needs.

I could be wrong,but in my opinion Mapal Culture Suite would be ideally adapted to startups where they can grow with the business and both parties are happy to spend time on developing together, atleast in the early years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ken Ume of Mapal Culture Suite

Thanks for taking the time to provide this review Ricardo. We greatly appreciate it.

It's always good to hear honest feedback from our customers. I'll pass on your comments about the "developing platform" on to our product and programme owners. Sounds like we can work harder to balance the evolution of our platform and meeting the immediate needs of people like you.

"Good Experience with Mapal"
What do you like best about Mapal Culture Suite?

We only currently use Flow-Learning and have had great success with it. There are lots of different elements that can keep learners engaged and removing the need for paper documentation

My regular catch ups with Hugo are great and I always feel heard Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mapal Culture Suite?

It would be great to use the tools but we already have systems in place which seem to be slightly more advance than what Mapal can offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ken Ume of Mapal Culture Suite

Thanks for your review Jess. Glad we've been able to help you with your learning and development ambitions. We're always looking for ways to improve. It would be great if you could share some of your thoughts on the gaps between your existing tools and some of our other offerings in your next customer success call.
