"A simple yet customisable software that support the needs of our business"
What do you like best about ELMO Software?

As a pre-built product with customisation opportunities, ELMO is a simple to implement and even simpler to use software. Our Account Manager is always providing us with the latest launch notes and taking feedback to ensure that we can utilise the system to the best of our ability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ELMO Software?

Some additional customisation would be useful and some modules don't speak to other modules in the way you would expect, but doesn't inhibit their use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very Happy with our decision to implement Elmo"
What do you like best about ELMO Software?

Elmo is very user friendly and does all of the things that we were looking for in an HRIS/Payroll system. All of our staff have been able to use it without too much training. It was fairly easy to implement and has integreated well with Xero which is our accounting system. It has replaced all of our paperbased time sheets, leave request and outlook leave calendar, so it is used everyday by the majority of our staff. The customer support has been pretty good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ELMO Software?

Some of the reports in the payroll side are quite limited and it would be better if we could customise them. To be fair to Elmo though the payroll product is one that they have a licence for it is not their own product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ELMO is a great HR software to use for a medium sized company"
What do you like best about ELMO Software?

My favourite aspects of ELMO are the training, onboarding and recruitment module. ELMO is also easy to learn to use, and can help you to onboard new employees with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ELMO Software?

ELMO software can sometimes be a bit rigid. Some aspects can be improved. It would be nice if you could save individual items like qualifications in ELMO, and set specific dates for when each individual item needs to be renewed, and a notification will be recieved when this is required. it would be nice if you could save employee files in ELMO with categories with ease, so that can be stored and also accessed with ease. While you can store files in ELMO, it would be nice if the employee had a folder where all of their training etc could be stored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caity Cividin of ELMO Software

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, Bridget. We're glad to hear you're enjoying ELMO's training, onboarding and recruitment modules.

"ELMO is functional and effective, however a little bit clunky and counter-intuitive at times."
What do you like best about ELMO Software?

The home page is easy to navigate and presents well. The side bar is self-explanatory and gives clear direction as to where to find what you're looking for. The 'my pay RTA'/payroll add on is clear, helpful and easy to use. The 'Recruitment' section is good and easy to use as well. The rating column is helpful, as are the categories you can sort candidates into. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ELMO Software?

The biggest downfall for me personally with ELMO, is that it can be a little bit clunky when trying to find the 'shared with me' documents. The search bar isn't helpful in most cases, for example if I want to find a HR document relating to a new start called John Smith, typing the name doesn't yield any result, instead I have to search for the manager who completed the HR form and sift through the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caity Cividin of ELMO Software

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're glad to hear that you are enjoying many of ELMO's features, but we want to ensure the whole system is living up to its full potential for you and your organisation. We will pass along your feedback to our Product Development team. In the meantime, we encourage you to contact your dedicated Account Manager, who can help you with several free resources to optimise your usage or connect you with our Customer Success Management team for personalised support if suitable.

Kind regards, the ELMO Software team

"Great end to end HRIS with ongoing developments"
What do you like best about ELMO Software?

It combined 4 seperate platforms for HR use into one - the end user experience is great - lot of visibility of own and team forms, processess and learning. Great implementation manager for CORE. Ability to suggest enhancements that can be considered for future builds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ELMO Software?

Some of the recruitment processes are "fixed" and not as tailorable as we like (eg HR team manages all recruitment but cannot turn off recruiting managers being able to move people between stages which can cause confusion). PayRTA is best available product for our needs but does not meet our needs.eg Unable to establish second factor approval for certain leave types, cannot auto reject leave application that exceeds projected balance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caity Cividin of ELMO Software

Thank you for your review. We're glad you are enjoying your experience with ELMO Software and that it has improved visibility. We appreciate your feedback and will share it with our product team.

"Choosing a HRIS & why ELMO won"
What do you like best about ELMO Software?

The best part of the ELMO system is the intuity. It's clean interface and profile pictures make the system attractive to use. However the key distinguishing feature is the ability to adjust and customise learning modules relevant to your industry/organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ELMO Software?

The performance framework can be muddly - particuarly if you don't do performance reviews for everyone at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caity Cividin of ELMO Software

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Daniel! We are delighted to hear you are enjoying using ELMO Software and find it intuitive.

"Useful tools for safety professionals"
What do you like best about ELMO Software?

There are lsome great tools for safety teams. We use the learning modules for compliance training and for recording completion of external mandatory training for staff. We have also set up inductions in the learning. We have used the online forms for our Work from home safety checklist, and survey tools for reviewing the effectiveness of some safety PPE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ELMO Software?

I am yet to be an expert in the back end, so not a real downside, but I need to learn how to use it better to get the most out of it. There are some many features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caity Cividin of ELMO Software

Thank you for your wonderful review of ELMO. We're so glad to hear that you're finding it very useful. We recommend contacting your Account Manager to discover the free support resources we offer to enhance your use of the system, particularly our free weekly optimisation webinars.
