Acorn PLMS Reviews & Product Details

I really enjoy using Acorn PLMS! It's incredibly user-friendly, looks great, and the support team is always so kind and helpful. They truly make a difference when you need assistance. Looking ahead, I’m excited about the potential to explore more creative uses for the "P" in PLMS—it feels like there’s so much room for innovation! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that could be improved is the flexibility of the reporting features. While they provide all the essential data you need, having more customization options would make them even better. Also, the form feature is helpful, but it doesn’t allow you to download your responses. For one specific task where our customers need a copy, it does present a bit of a challenge.

Overall, it’s a wonderful platform with so much to offer, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it continues to evolve! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our experience with ACORN has been phenomenal. Their team truly works to make our live and on-demand learning and external e-commerce integration work for our business and the students we serve. Our industry requires regular certifications and complex information gathering, and at every turn, we found ACORN willing and ready to make it work. From creative data solutions and implementation support to helping us train our staff on the new platform, reporting, and integration of live learning and online options, they were always ready to lend a hand and stretch their capabilities to meet our needs. We chose ACORN for their partnership values and the amazing team we have the privilege of working with and we couldn't be more satisfied with the results. The platform itself is easy to use for our administrative team and students who are on it daily and their support is top-notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We found there to be a few limitations with reporting, but their team is working to make solutions for us that are affordable and meet our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is customizable, so it was easy for us admins to set up the page. Our CS Officer helped us with weekly touchpoints. What sealed the deal for us, to move from our old LMS to Acorn was its price point, considering that it has one extra feature that our old LMS doesn't have--Capability Development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There were some features we enjoyed with our old LMS that were not available on Acorn, like Go1 integration with free 25 courses, mobile app option, match list quiz type, and ease of assigning administrative roles across tenancies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Acorn allows our company to put all the resources our Account Managers and operators in one spot. This makes their job much easier and allows them to be more efficient.

Everyone I have worked with at Acorn has been wonderful from sales to tech support. We love working with Geordie. He is amazing!

Purchasing Acorn was a great decision and everyone has been very impressed by the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not had anything that I have found to not like at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability to customize most aspects of the LMS to fit your organization's branding. For my case, we have multiple organizations using the system, and it is really helpful for each organization to have their own branding and autonomy over their own tenancies. I use the LMS most work days and it's usablity is consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some aspects are not customizable and make using the system for our specific reason a little more difficult. However, Acorn staff have been very gracious in helping us find ways to address problems creatively. It takes a while to get used to the system and implement/integrate it across different organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Acorn team has been professional, flexible, accommodating, and patient with us during the implementation process. We selected Acorn after meeting with 18 LMS vendors primarily because we felt that we would be true "partners" and not just "partrons" who purchased the product. The platform is easy to use and our employees are loving it. Having the added "performance" or Capabilities functions is truly unique and we can't wait to fully incorporate all that Acorn PLMS has to offer to both our team members as well as our team leaders.

We have yet to find a "dislike" or downfall. They have helped us with all of the relevant areas that we were lacking in our previous LMS and add so much more functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We recently transitioned from our previous LMS to Acorn, and the experience has been fantastic. Special shoutout to Jenny Tran, our implementation specialist, who went above and beyond to make the process smooth—from start to launch. Jenny was always available (even at midnight!) to answer questions and help with any hiccups along the way. Our switch was no small task—we have 26 franchise locations and a team of 500, so it wasn't easy—but Jenny helped make it incredibly smooth.

The platform itself is easy to use, packed with features and has powerful reporting tools that will definitely help us manage our learning more efficiently. We're beyond pleased with the exceptional support from Jenny—she made the entire process seamless and a pleasure! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Acorn offers a great experience overall, there are a few areas for improvement. One downside is that the app only functions in offline mode, and with over 70% of our users preferring mobile devices for learning, a fully functional app would be ideal. There are also some limitations in terms of customization, but despite this, the platform still delivers a solid experience, and the mobile web browser version works well.

The people that work for Acorn make Acorn great. Geordie and Cody have worked with me through all of the bumps in the road. I think the platform is also fantastic, incredibly easy to navigate for both admins and users. Implementation was incredibly simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have zero complaints about Acorn PLMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Geordie has been incredible for helping me set up the platform the way I needed it. The dashboard is beautiful now after his help and I feel more confident changing assignments and adding items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way to grade the assignments is not user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is incredibly flexible and thorough. Our implementation specialist worked closely with us to provide all the support we needed and ensure that we got what we were looking for with Acorn and more. The interface is clean and intuitive, and makes for an attractive hub for our users to return to to access resources that were previously scattered across multiple webpages and platforms.

In an ideal world Acorn would have come with a small selection of pre-designed courses to help get us started off (without having to purchase a package from one of their partners), but this is not a serious drawback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
