AG5 Skills Management Software Reviews & Product Details

I am impressed by the responsiveness of their support team. Usually, no one replies back to an email I send them. I am eating a bagel as I type this so please forgive my spelling errors. What it does is track certifications and alert us when they need to be renewed or when something expires. This is the main reason we purchased AG5 so we wouldn’t have to guess whether someone had the necessary certification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every once in awhile the page will freeze when I try to export information, so I just hit the refresh button. That is really frustrating as I would like to see a faster way to search for a person's name. Sometimes it seems to take forever to locate a person's name and I also think the colors used in the user interface could be a bit brighter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm typing away as I eat a stale bagel so I apologize in advance for all of the typos that are going to occur. I've enjoyed using the grid view as it has helped keep track of who can complete each task without my needing to call them and prior to AG5, we were using excel but it was horrible to maintain and once the data was uploaded into AG5, it did not go anywhere and therefore I didn't lose it. When certification expirations come due (and I tend to lose track), it sends me a reminder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, it freezes up on me and it's frustrating when I try to upload a bulk file and the little wheel starts spinning while I sit here staring and in addition, I find the search bar to be somewhat concealed in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Why do they put it there? I also dislike the fact that I need to hit three clicks to access an employee's history; it should take one click. When support is busy, it takes a long time for them to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most important thing about AG5 is that it has made the process of workforce planning very organized. I rely on it on a regular basis to determine who requires training, who can mentor and who is equipped to take up new responsibilities. Skills matrices, certification tracking, and role mapping are some of the features that assist me in prioritizing the development activities within teams. It has enhanced the clarity regarding capabilities, which facilitated the easy process of staffing projects and enhanced the interaction between employees and leader.

The disadvantage of AG5 is that certain of the more sophisticated features such as multi role skill comparisons or department wide certification tracking are time consuming to configure. This has affected my job as I have been required to develop detailed development plans within a short time frame since it involves additional procedures and time to deliver the information. This can at times drag down the decision on who to give projects or training programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most advantageous fact about AG5 Skills Management Software is that it has the ability to arrange skill data throughout the organization. I actively visit it to monitor the gaps and discover those who require development, and it can be easily incorporated with HR and LMS. With the dashboards, qualified employees can be identified easily in carrying out tasks. Project planning is now more rapid since it was introduced and I am able to concentrate on developing skills and not finding the right people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The negative aspect of the AG5 Skills Management Software is that it might seem limited in customizing the categories of skills. We needed to make certain roles fit the system, and it slackened the implementation process. Reporting is not detailed either and, therefore, I have to export data to further analyze it. These drawbacks introduce some additional processes in the attempt of acquiring a complete picture of skill gaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that I like the most about AG5 is its ability to help in making better decisions. I often rely on it in justifying training needs and internal transfers. The ease of use enables the managers to actually do so rather than shirk the system. The implementation phase was associated with an immediate visibility of training progress because of its connection with our LMS. The integration minimized follow-ups and assisted the business to move with speed when there was a skills gap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only annoying thing about AG5 is that even more complicated is advanced control. The process of updating skills data during the periods of high workloads seems time absorbing. During implementation, there was the integration setup which demanded some technical focus thus delaying rollout. This impacted the rate at which teams embraced the platform and slowed down the pace with which we could accumulate skills management within the departments.

I really value the proactive gap visualization. I love this feature because it provides automatic alerts, and receiving these notifications lets me work with the production team proactively before an issue arises. Furthermore, the ability to generate filtered skills matrices is a major advantage that saves me hours of stress, especially during audits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the interface works, it could be more intuitive—especially when managing bulk permissions, like role configuration and similar tasks. Overall, it still needs some improvements, and I hope those updates come soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The entire system is user-friendly and can be tailored to fit individual needs. Its real-time monitoring of skills and gaps is highly effective, enabling faster intervention when necessary. Having visibility across the entire workforce, instead of relying solely on Excel, is a significant advantage. The implementation process was smooth, and the support from everyone involved has been outstanding, both at the start and continuing to the present. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While nothing is perfect, any concerns or "dislikes" can be reported to AG5. They are receptive and will listen, taking your feedback into consideration to see if it can be implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is extremely user-friendly, making it very easy to input and manage all necessary information. It conveniently gathers all important details in one place, which helps keep everything organized and accessible. Implementation was very smooth and it was a seamless transition to the production floor use. The customer support is amazing and there are very quick turnaround times on any issues.

The only drawback I've noticed is that there are occasional issues with some aspects of the workflows functionality. However, the regular monthly updates have been steadily addressing these concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the visual display of AG5 Skills Management Software; it is simple, quick, and easy for supervisors and leads to access, update, and maintain. This efficient design enhances usability, making it straightforward for leaders to keep track of training and skill development across our team. Additionally, when AG5 Skills Management Software pulls information from our HIS system, it does so exceptionally well, ensuring seamless integration with our existing systems. This effective performance in handling data from our HIS system contributes significantly to our ability to manage compliance and training needs efficiently. It allows us to prepare proficient operators in critical skills as outlined in our quality management system, aligning with our audit certifications. It also aids in planning future training to ensure our staff are equipped with necessary skills, helping us maintain high standards of operation at our manufacturing facilities.

Ideally, the matrix would be the visual display for all things. For example, if an employee has an expected completion date and it gets delayed because of external situations, the blue dot is removed from the matrix. Instead, it should be red or something different to show that the training is still occurring but past due. It should be tied directly into the visual makeup of the matrix. Also, the setup took longer than I thought it would. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find AG5 Skills Management Software incredibly valuable for managing a skills matrix within a logistics company and creating training records conveniently via phone. This functionality significantly simplifies the process, replacing our previous reliance on paper records. One of the features I appreciate the most is the ability to create prerequisites to achieve a required skill level, which is particularly beneficial in structuring our employee training programs. This feature allows us to clearly see which trainings an operator is lacking before they can be trained on specific processes, ensuring the necessary skills are acquired in the right order. Additionally, the convenience of the training during the initial setup process made the implementation of AG5 flawless, showcasing how user-friendly the software is.

I would love to have the functionality where more employees can be trained via the phone in a single click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
