This software has been GOD SENT as I'm able to training, testing and other activities

This software has been most beneficial to not only me but to the other employees as they are able to use it while during their professional and personal time.

Pros

What I like most about this software is the "GO GREEN" concept and not having to search the entire department for things. Before encouraging the company to purchase it, it was a nightmare locating employee files, training materials, records, attempting to get employees assembled in one location on one particular day for training. Investing in this software was a great decision as I'm able to better manage employee files, training materials, records, and no longer have worry about assembling employees on a particular date for training.

Cons

Currently I the pros are outweighing the cons, as right now I don't have any to share. I've used this software for 8 years now and it has worked wonders.

Pros

It’s an incredibly intuitive and user friendly platform with a fantastic support service.

Cons

No major cons. Our issues is I wish we could integrate the movement of individuals through PowerDMS groups with our current HR software. But not a con of PowerDMs.

It completely changed the way we handle business. Documents are orderly and approvals are easily scheduled. We also started expanding into other Power products, like Engage, Time and Ready.

Pros

The ability to manage documents easily. I like that the capabilities are continually improving and expanding the integrations.

Cons

There are some QOL things that could improve, such as archiving batches.

We have been using PowerDMS for approximately 4 or so years. It has helped us keep staff informed. Still doesn’t make people do their step without humans holding them accountable.

Pros

Helps us tremendously with the amount of users and policies we have. Also started using it for accreditation and it has made the whole process smoother.

Cons

There have been a couple of bugs that have popped up. Support has been helpful but it did cause some extra user support needs.

I’m a fairly new user and still learning. I would like some additional training. I did visit PowerDMS University and that has helped but I don’t feel like it’s everything I need to know.

Pros

It’s easy to navigate and create content. I had no previous experience with PowerDMS and felt like I learned the basics relatively quickly. But I feel there is so much more for me to learn.
