What do you like best about Arlo?

- Dashboard is a great to give you an initial overview

- It super easy to use

- Very easy to pull reports

- Great service if you need help or something isn't working

- newsletters with updates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arlo?

- It would be great that if you go into a specific course and you see the list of participants to be able to access their profile and information rather than going through orders individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arlo solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's great to have a software that organises the participants and courses for us. The automatic emails make a difference for us where we can save a lot of time. For myself, it's really a tool that helps me being more efficient and address problems and issue straight away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tim Tarbotton of Arlo

Hi Sara, many thanks for the review. Glad to hear Arlo is helping you manage your courses. Accessing participants records from the list of registrations on a course is possible by opening the registration and selecting the registrant's name. If you require any assistant with this please contact the Arlo support team, they would be happy to help. All the best, The Arlo team.

What do you like best about Arlo?

one central place where I can view all activity for a contact / org.

Application workflow - love, love love!

Ability to manage PD from start to finish

Leads function

contact database

support tech - Jarrod, Ezra and Emma

marking attendance function

captures CPD points

ability to update website copy through the CRM

assign tasks/to do list

automatically apply member rates

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arlo?

- corporate membership setup limitations.

- Campaign Monitor Integration. (one-way sync). We are spending a fortune with Campaign Monitor as a result.

- historical information moves with the individual. does not stay with the organisation.

- partial orders/ payment not possible.

- no surcharge option

- limitations in bulk bookings

- unable to run members only events. i.e. display on website, system stops non members from registering

- lack of Google integration (comms)

- unable to manipulate the log in date to enter in a registration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arlo:

Application workflow is amazing! As any new features, minor development work required such as upload of files etc though I love this! Would love if there was a judging component attached to this.

Managing of PD from a registration, marking attendance and grades perspective is quiet straightforward/easy to use.

Ability to update CMS through the online portal. Great that anyone in the org can log in and make website changes.

The leads function (somewhat limiting when you offer different services e.g. PD and events as the templates are universal) though the concept of going to a template and viewing all leads including the won/lost status since the beginning of time is great. Also great that all you have to do is click 'display the template' and all preexisting info is online + capturing leads.

The events module is ok. We struggle with it for bulk bookings and our discount complexity though I can see orgs that have 1 service offering, small scale events, simple discounts can easily manage their events through Arlo. Also like that we are able to run free events quiet simply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arlo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ability to sell tickets and capture attendance for the majority of our events and courses. capture applications for our award shows and graduate program. centralise our data including all the capturing of all activity with TCC from an individual and business level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arlo?

Our clients find booking very easy, it is straight forward and directs you through the process well. As a user with the dashboard I find it very efficient and shows you all the need-to-know info clearly. I find it very quick to sent all the post course material to a client and then to 'pass' their booking so they receive communication from us at a later date. When I need to contact the team at Arlo they always jump to resolve any issue, awesome work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arlo?

Sometimes I struggle with finding the help I need in the guides & help support, I find the terminology confusing occasionally. I wish there was more control over how the automated emails are sent, definitely our most common customer compliant at the moment is receiving these emails when they are no longer required. Also wish I could adjust the time that the trainer gets sent the attendee list for an event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arlo:

Give it a go! It does what it says it will and the team are very up front if it doesn't Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arlo solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can work at a faster more efficient pace as Arlo is doing so much of the work for us! It is very easy to process eftpos payments, love having the 'sent payment link' option, this has really saved us some time and is an easy way to interact with the client, rather than taking their details over the phone etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tim Tarbotton of Arlo

Hi Eve, it's fantastic to hear that Arlo is allowing you to work at a faster pace and focus on the things that really matter! Our enterprise plan offers scheduled reporting which will allow you to setup and schedule reports to be sent at specific times and dates. Arlo offers free online support so in future if you can't find what you're looking for feel free to submit a ticket! We look forward to hearing from you. All the best, The Arlo team

What do you like best about Arlo?

This is a very well-thought through application. We have plenty of functionality for getting our event-based business off the ground and running. The best part is that there aren't any missing core features. We were able to implement quickly and start booking/selling events within a few days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arlo?

As a developer, the WordPress documentation was either too slim or outdated. I spent most of my time with the integration process in the database - and the tables weren't document, so that meant of a lot of trial and error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arlo:

Make sure you have a developer on hand for WordPress integrations. While the plugin is robust and provides lots of opportunities for copying and pasting (for non-developers), you will likely need some customizations either from a stylistic or integration standpoint. In our case, we have Arlo Presenters who are also different kinds of users on our site (some are "Experts" while others are "Presenters"). So we needed the ability to route to profiles of our "Experts" differently than Arlo presenter profiles. These and other integrations were only possible with a software developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arlo solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a startup, we needed to quickly be able to stand up and start selling complex event types. Arlo has allowed us to integrate the features into our WordPress site quickly. As we've validated different event types with customers, we've been able to take a more focused approach . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tim Tarbotton of Arlo

Hi Justyn, thanks for your feedback. Good to hear you were able to get up and running right away and have enjoyed our WordPress plugin. We have taken your feedback on board regarding our WordPress documentation and our development team will review the documentation. We look forward to supporting your business's growth. Many thanks, the Arlo team.

What do you like best about Arlo?

Arlo has been an important tool for our First Aid training courses. We have found it easy to configure the platform and to setup courses. Our customers have a simple and clean interface for booking and payment, and we can manage their certifications well. Having course reminders automated means we have less people forgetting about their courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arlo?

We have had some trouble with our website integration into Wordpress which we had hoped would be a little easier, and cheaper. This is likely due to the setup of our website, and we can complete this in the near future with our web developers at a cost. We had thought the Arlo WordPress Plugin would have been a quick and easy solution for us. We have managed to work around this in the interim. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arlo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing the whole process of booking, course reminders, issuing of certificates and sending certificate expiration reminders all in one platform has been a huge time saver. Scheduled course reminders help with no shows, and self transfers also cuts down on customer phone calls. We can also create custom discount codes which is a great way to promote courses and track where customers are coming from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
