Reviews

Is Kallidus Learn the right solution for you? Read verified Kallidus Learn reviews from people in industries like yours to make a confident choice.

Pros
  • Ease of Use & Navigation

    Reviewers uniformly noted how simple the front end is for standard users. They stated that "finding your way around the system is really straightforward" and that the product is so intuitive that "an end user does not need any training on how to use Learn."

  • User Experience & Engagement

    The visual appeal of the platform significantly helps drive a positive training culture. Reviewers commented that the front end "looks absolutely amazing," receiving fantastic feedback from clients about how "user-friendly and attractive their learning plan looks."

  • Customer Support & Service

    Reviewers appreciated the guidance provided by the vendor. They highlighted the "excellent training," "superb" onboarding assistance, and the value of having "customer support through implementation and continued support now that we are live."

  • Feature Set & Functionality

    The system serves well as a centralized environment for core educational tracking. Administrators valued having a "one-stop shop" for compliance and found it excellent for recording CPD hours, hosting classroom courses, and tracking student progress.

  • Value for Money / Pricing & ROI

    The platform is viewed as an economical choice for corporate training deployment. Reviewers highlighted it as a "cost effective product that meets our requirements well" while performing its "intended function effectively at a competitive cost."

Cons
  • Complexity & Learning Curve

    While the front end is simple, the backend requires a significant adjustment period. Reviewers pointed out that "there is a lot to remember in the back-end administration," noting that "for someone without any prior use of a Learning Management System, there can be a fairly steep learning curve."

  • Reporting & Analytics Issues

    Navigating and extracting data can feel unoptimized or restricted. Reviewers mentioned that "reporting options seem overly complex," "generating reports is not intuitive and could do with a 'dummies' guide," and one user explicitly noted they were unable to run needed compliance reports.

  • Limited Features / Missing Tools

    Reviewers flagged specific structural limitations within the interface, such as having "no back button on some screens, which is frustrating," being "unable to load video courses which are not SCORM files," and the lack of a native dashboard to advertise upcoming course dates.

  • Customization Limitations

    Admins encountered restrictions when trying to tailor specific views or accessibility tiers. Reviews highlighted that the "Manager view cannot be customised" and expressed a desire to give senior stakeholders visibility into historical records without needing the admin team to manually pull data.

  • Integration & Technical Challenges

    System architecture feels disjointed or inefficient in certain administrative workflows. Reviewers complained about the "clunkiness of the admin side," noting that simple tasks require "one too many clicks" and that "some functions on the back screen and the front screen differ."

What do you like best? I love the look and feel of the system and that it can used by all of our consultants across the globe without any issues.
What do you dislike? The system is great but does need some improvements to bring it into the new age. For example, a more user friendly admin reporting area and the ability to upload videos rather than URLs would be beneficial.

What do you like best? The software is a great way to learn new process/policy without taking time out of the office to attend learning courses
What do you dislike? The software does not allow us to run compliance reports which would greatly help in the office. This is the only downside for me.
