Kallidus Reviews

“Allows us to create our own content and reports!

Pros

What's really powerful is that we can build our own training content from scratch and then create custom reports in Power BI to see exactly how it's performing. Plus, the ability to set up our own custom data fields gives us total control over how we track information

Cons

Finding specific settings in the Admin panel can be tricky and we cannot edit a course's content after it's been published.

“User-friendly for our employees

Pros

Our employees really like the platform especially the short, optional micro-courses. They find the whole experience very user-friendly

Cons

Not all of the courses include an ebook, though that might be specific to our package. Those ebooks are really useful for sharing key learnings with colleagues afterward.

“Easy to use and great value

Pros

It is easy to use, provides great value and has an attractive, interactive interface with clever courses available in many languages for a diverse audience.

Cons

Uploading historical data was a bit challenging but the support team was very helpful. Other than that I do not have any complaints about the system.

“Highly adaptable and modern

Pros

Kallidus platform is highly adaptable and offers a modern, easy-to-navigate experience for users. Also it works as a single, central hub for all learning and development which I like.

Cons

Getting to know the system has a bit of a learning curve but I suppose that's true for any new LMS platform.

“fantastic, user-friendly tool

Pros

I do all my learning through the Kallidus platform, and it's been a huge help in my development. The interface is great, super easy to use and I love how simple it is to see what I've completed and what's available next.

Cons

There is nothing I would change to be honest, the platform is easy to use and user friendly, so I do not have any suggestions for improvement right now.

“Very accessible with great courses

Pros

It is very accessible with a great course selection and customization options. Plus the clear tracking of compliance and completion simplifies reporting and ensures a wide range of learning topics are covered.

Cons

Well it would be great to see more IT or hands-on courses. Also automatic email reports with completion rates sent directly to line managers would also be a helpful feature.

“great daily learning platform

Pros

this is our daily learning platform, where users can access and complete a wide variety of courses

Cons

there is nothing I dislike though the user interface could use a little polish.

“clean layout and navigation

Pros

The layout and navigation are user friendly and pretty simple. Also setting up lessons and courses and assigning them to groups or individuals is a simple process.

Cons

Honestly there is very little to complain about. The only small issue is that you can sometimes mark a course as complete just by opening it, without actually reviewing the content. So I feel like having more control over the completion settings would be a welcome improvement.

“offers the best support!!

Pros

I find it amazing as it is easy to use, has great support, engaging content, a fantastic new layout, detailed reporting and plenty of features.

Cons

We would love to see an even wider variety of courses from Kallidus as they have the potential to offer so much more over time.

“Simple for learners and managers

Pros

Learners find the platform simple to navigate and managers get great visibility into progress. I also really like how the learning and performance modules are integrated as they naturally belong together.

Cons

The terminology it uses is different from what we are used to, so it can take a while to figure out how to accomplish certain tasks even when we know the feature exists.

“Fast and simple remote access

Pros

It gives me fast, simple access to a system that lets me remotely track team progress and compliance across a large geographic area.

Cons

For me both as a user and a manager, the platform does everything I need it to without any problems.

“modern yet user-friendly design

Pros

Kallidus platform has a modern, user-friendly design and the pre-built courses are both engaging and informative.

Cons

There isn not anything specific I dislike. The only limitation I have found is that we cannot set a specific sequence for learners to take certain courses.

“provides a wide range of subjects

Pros

The wide range of subjects provides comprehensive training for our entire organization and helps us stay compliant with industry standards.

Cons

No cons to share as the system is very comprehensive and covers all of our organizations training requirements perfectly.

“Simple, looks great and easy

Pros

It is simple, looks great and is very easy to use. We can find what we need without clicking through endless steps. Uploading content, creating catalogs, tracking progress and running reports are all simple and the customer support team is always helpful.

Cons

I'll be honest, getting an accreditation configured can be tricky the first time. But once you're over that initial hurdle, the automation takes over and seamlessly handles all the mandatory training, which absolutely guarantees our compliance

“implementation was easy

Pros

Implementation was easy and the support team was also great. Even the HRIS system is user-friendly but feels a bit too much and I feel would benefit from AI integration.

Cons

It is disappointing that the Recruit and HRIS modules do not connect smoothly. The reporting is also quite limited. We were sold on an integrated platform but the reality feels like several separate products that do not work together well.

“Perfectly matched our needs

Pros

The entire system and its support perfectly matched our needs. The support from setup through to ongoing use is excellent and the high-quality courses meet a broad spectrum of our employees requirements.

Cons

Though the initial training was very thorough but also overwhelming as it covered a lot before we even had system access. So we are still learning to use it to its full potential and it's taking time. I am a bit concerned we might not be configuring it correctly for long-term success.

“Great end-user experience

Pros

Well the end-user experience is great, with good CPD and compliance tracking, solid reporting and visibility and excellent support documents and team access.

Cons

We cannot customize the visuals on the homepage and setting up emails and notifications is not as simple as it should be.

“good service

Pros

It is easy to implement, the customer service is good and easy to reach and I find it a great fit for small to medium-sized companies.

Cons

The integration process was tricky at times partly due to our old system but even the manual SFTP process was not a good experience for our admins.

“Simple to see our team's progress

Pros

Kallidus is simple to see where you and your team stand with e-learning. The courses are very simple too and it is great that we can recertify using knowledge-based questions instead of retaking the entire course.

Cons

I would like to see more support for specific competency checks within the e-learning. While the checks exist, the process is not as simple as I expected.

“fairly easy to navigate for everyone

Pros

Both the learner interface and the admin tools are easy to navigate. Also the pre-built content is very well-written and presented and the support team from Kallidus is excellent with fast response times for our tickets.

Cons

A calendar view for our instructor-led sessions would be really helpful. As for now enrollment is low because people have to actively search for these courses.
