Kallidus Reviews

“Simple and always improving

Pros

The platform is simple to use and very user friendly for end-users. The best thing is that Kallidus is always rolling out new features and their support service is very reliable too.

Cons

Some of the backend functions feel a bit complex.

“well-supported system

Pros

You get plenty of helpful documents and guides, plus a dedicated support team for more complex issues. The LMS scales well from small organizations to those with thousands of users, providing structure for managing mandatory training and allowing us to enforce completion rules. Plus the recently launched Power BI integration also enables powerful reporting.

Cons

Since it is a cloud-based system, the interface or features sometimes change based on feedback from other clients. So if you preferred the old way of doing things, you just have to adapt because it is not a custom-built solution.

“The best team!!

Pros

The team behind the platform is simply the best as they are incredibly helpful and constantly working on improvements. The reporting features have also been greatly enhanced and are now very effective.

Cons

One of the biggest limitation for us is not being able to create learning pathways but I hear that feature is coming soon. The thumbnail image upload can also be a bit slow at times.

“perfect for cpd requirements

Pros

this software's courses offer valuable insights for my Continuing Professional Development (CPD). The platform also makes it simple to see which courses I need to complete and their deadlines.

Cons

the platform sends out a lot of emails and I wish that could be toned down. It is also sometimes difficult to find additional, non-essential courses.

“Kallidus Learn - A great user experience

Pros

The platform is easy for learners to use, with navigation simple even for those with limited technical skills.

Cons

The back end could be more intuitive, but its still superior to other LMS platforms I have used.

“Ease of user for users but not the best admin experience

Pros

I value the ease of use for our end users. The streamlined dashboard functionality represents a notable enhancement over our previous system, which lacked reliability.

Cons

The administrative side is somewhat cumbersome. Even our old system allowed for easier SCORM file uploads, and managing languages is quite resource-intensive. Reporting isn't the most straightforward either, so I look forward to improvements in these areas.

“Kallidus LMS

Pros

As an admin and end user, I find it easy to navigate. The administrative features for classroom systems, including scheduling, tracking, and email notifications, seamlessly sync with Outlook. It offers a robust reporting tool with a wide range of reports and a dependable platform with excellent uptime. The customer and system assistance are highly engaged and individualized.

Cons

There's little to criticize. The system performs its intended functions well without overpromising. It is robust, functional, and dependable.

“Intuitive

Pros

Simple to navigate, user-friendly, and easy to support users as an administrator. It has numerous functions that meet all the needs of our organization.

Cons

The reporting is overly complicated and takes too much time.

“Couldn't recommend highly enough

Pros

The setup was quite complex, which is understandable given the scope of the task. Customer support team was incredibly helpful throughout the process, going above and beyond.

Cons

It was occasionally clunky, but considering its complexity and numerous features, that's understandable.

“Migration from On-Premises to SaaS

Pros

Consistent product experience from an on-premises solution.

Cons

The process of migrating data from one version of Kallidus Learn to the SaaS version.

“Compliance course

Pros

It was easy to identify available courses and navigate through them.

Cons

The course content needs improvement, especially regarding advising an employee to resign to avoid disciplinary action. This practice could lead to unfair dismissal claims in the UK and isn't the message we want to convey to our staff.

“Nice view and easy to use

Pros

The platform is easily configurable and can be adjusted to meet required needs.

Cons

There's always room for improvement. Enhancing the guidance for users within the platform would be beneficial.

“Kallidus Learn

Pros

Capable of uploading eLearning modules to thousands of colleagues at once. The "My Team" function is very intuitive for managers, and the front end is appealing and straightforward for colleagues to understand.

Cons

The entire system crashes when too many people try to access a module simultaneously. The reporting function doesn't always work well and can be difficult for managers to comprehend.

“eLearning

Pros

The front end is attractive and easy for colleagues to navigate. Reports can be set to run automatically and be received via email.

Cons

I find it challenging to generate the specific reports I need.

“Fantastic LMS!

Pros

This LMS is excellent for both administrators and learners. The back end has all the necessary functionalities and is easy to use, while the front end looks great and has significantly improved from the previous version.

Cons

Sometimes, there are too many steps to accomplish simple tasks.

“Review of Kallidus Learn (from an admin perspective)

Pros

The simplicity is a major plus. It has a modern design, allowing colleagues to use the site without needing a guide or training.

Cons

From an admin perspective, changes occur without our awareness. While these issues are usually minor and resolved after discussing them with the support team, it's a hassle to keep reaching out to them.

“My use

Pros

Easy for the end user to navigate. The admin center is effective, offering a wide range of reporting options. The new layout is beneficial.

Cons

There's no option to customize the manager view or a back button.

“Great Product for basic L&D needs

Pros

It is very easy to register for workshops and complete eLearning. Users can clearly see which training is compulsory and how much they have left to complete, while managers can view this information for their direct reports.

Cons

The back end can be a bit tricky, requiring several steps to upload content or events.

“Good product, easy to use.

Pros

It is easy to use, visually appealing, and simple to manage from an admin standpoint.

Cons

Setting up a new user takes time, and enrolling multiple people in one course is a slow process.

“A good LMS for end users

Pros

Simple for our end users to operate. The search functionality is particularly helpful.

Cons

Not being able to search on Custom Fields is a drawback.
