Dakota ProActivity EHS Software Pros and Cons

I like being able to track safety trends both short term and long term. The ability to have graphical representation is extremely helpful when discussing safety areas of improvement with colleagues. I really appreciate several features: uploading several Tracer items with just a few clicks, filtering/unfiltering data within the graphs, and setting up alerts for action item reminders.

I would like to see a few minor changes. I'd like to be able to add attachments in Edit mode and not before or after editing. When in tracer and organization mode, clicking on the small checkboxes to populate the right View screen is counterintuitive. I should be able to click on the file name in the file folder view to populate the View screen. Lastly, when reporting a near miss, it would be nice to have the Required Fields automatically indicated with the asterisk. Currently, we have to hit Submit to find out which fields are required.

The auditor module is the what our organization uses the most frequently. It is a great tool for internal auditing to keep your site or organization in compliance with OSHA regulations for any and all EHS programs.

While we have not yet expanded to other modules internally, the system also makes it very easy to create and track action items for closing gaps when identified, and their compliance module is extremely helpful for visibility on compliance based items, like annual reports, permit requirments, site or company requirements, and more. We are currently exploring more ways to implement Dakota long term.

The Dakota team is extremely responsive to any and all inquiries, and is very quick to help resolve. They're training is also great. They will record and send sessions to your team that can be uploaded to a company intranet for onboarding and training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the system offers some really great tools and capabilities, it can be a little bit clunky to work in. The pages load fairly slow, so navigating can be frustrating and take up quite a bit of time. It also is not user friendly in internet applications, such as Firefox or Internet Explorer, so ensuring people have access to Microsoft Edge or another Dakota friendly system is critical.

Dakata is an easy software with a implementation that actually suprise me how fast it was implemented. Operations like for the friendly use where frequency of use increase based on quicly access. I did not have much interaction with the custumers support but for what I can see its an easy and quickly problems resolution. Easy integration was great along with the numbers of features the software has. Frequency of use is indredible great on the sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful part of using Dakota is that it automatically updates for changing regulations. The upsides are that the program is customizable to a facility's specific situation. The customer support has been great and implementation of our facilities was relatively easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dakota isn't very intuitive to use. It is a very easy to use application after you learn how to click through the various parts of the program, but you need someone to show you a lot of it. You can't really teach yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
