What do you like best about Nestor?

This applies in particular to the following points:

- The clear interface and clear structures

- The ease of use of the entire tool

- The adaptability of various masks / content to individual needs

- The consideration of customer feedback

- The representation of data using different graphs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nestor?

We are still in the implementation phase and are very satisfied so far. Only the translation of the interface into another language is taking a little longer than expected.

Previous feedback has always been gratefully received. Change requests were always checked for implementation and implemented directly or noted as planned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Nestor makes skills management much easier for us. We can provide all employees with a transparent overview of their individual skills and development opportunities at all times. This helps us a lot in the area of personnel development and recruiting, as we always know which skills are available, which are still required and which need to be (further) developed.

It points out areas of skill deficiency and suggests focused learning materials.

Easily integrates with existing technologies to ensure efficient workflow management.

It enables managers to set goals, track progress, and provide comments to enable them to realize their best possible performance.

What do you dislike about Nestor?

Nothing to complain about yet; perhaps once I run the application and check it in a few months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

By combining the present performance management system with a 360-degree feedback, Nestor has changed our attitude to performance management by offering a complete, real-time view of both corporate and personal performance.

Highly responsive and professional support team, listening to the evolving needs of customers and many times anticipating them.

Easy to implement and integrate, with great support in users training Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nestor?

Nothing for what it covers right now. Just that it's not (yet) embeding other HR platforms & functionalities, like HR admin & intranet to have one stop shop for the employees, with the same approach, transparency and UX Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having a modern and agile platform, aligned with the newest practices and with the constant changes of our needs

Transparency of objectives and empowering the employees and managers in setting up the objectives and tracking them

Feedback on competencies and development

Running engagement and pulse surveys , with quick and clear reporting and visualization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nestor?

Although I was quite skeptical at the beginning, implementing Nestor has proved to be a successful method for me to find people based on skills. On one hand, I can search for people within the organization based on specific skills I’m interested in. Also, I can easily post opportunities, and engage with people based on their matching scores. One thing I like most is the filtering capability and how the platform displays the best-fit people using the highest score at the top, followed by lower percentages. I like that I can also see people who were not 100% fit but still they had the required proficiency level for 5 out of 8 skills, let’s say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nestor?

While Nestor's can be a great solution to fill roles, the success of talent management initiatives relies on having a clear and well-structured approach for mapping and assessing skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We decided to look for suitable people internally and Nestor helps with this. Nestor has the ability to match the right skills and expertise with the specific needs of each project and saves valuable time, effort, and resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nestor?

Nestor's software has most of, if not all, the capabilities you would need to ensure that people understand their strengths and weaknesses, are clear on what they need to do (clear goals, timelines and measurable results). It also helps managers have a unified view of their teams, figuring out where there might be common pain points and potential for value exchange.

As with every software, it depends on how it's used but if you want to instill a growth mindset in your company across all team members, it's a great tool.

Implementing and integrating the software is straightforward and the team at Nestor is super responsive.

We utilize the software to create growth plans every 6 months and have regular (monthly or so) check-ins. It also informs our L&D activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nestor?

It's not fully polished yet. Plenty of things that can be improved in the UX which is important for easy adoption. However, it does a good enough job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For managers:

- helps them create a clear picture of who is where in their growth development across their team members

- facilitates easy communication of the next steps and areas of growth

For team members:

- creates clarity on what they are doing well and not so well with

- creates clarity on what the next steps of their growth are Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
