Pros
The user interface is appealing and easy to use, making it simple for both staff and instructors to understand how to use the tool. The design is simple and attractive, with a modern feel.
It is easy for new staff to get to grips with how the solution works. Through pre-set communications, it is possible to effectively guide staff towards completing training courses.
We also see the integrations between Learnifier and our HR system as a major strength, as they save us time through the automatic transfer of user and skills data.
In addition, new solutions and features are being developed on an ongoing basis, and as a customer we have plenty of scope to contribute ideas, thoughts and test cases.
Learnifier is a user-friendly and flexible learning platform that facilitates both the creation and delivery of digital training programmes. The interface is, as promised, intuitive, making it easy for those building courses to get started quickly - even without prior technical knowledge. One of the biggest strengths of the platform is the ability to cater for different learning styles by creating courses with varied content, such as videos, quizzes and reflection exercises. The platform also supports modern learning where participants can take courses at their own pace, which is particularly appreciated in our organisation where staff work around the clock.
In summary, Learnifier is a pedagogically well thought-out platform that is ideal for organisations that want to work strategically with skills development.
We are very happy with Sympa as an HR platform. The system is flexible and can be configured and customised on an ongoing basis, which means that we can quickly adjust our approach and working methods as our business changes. It's also clear that Sympa is actively working to develop new functions and features. For us, it's a great strength to be able to have a comprehensive overview of all our companies - over 35 companies spread across large parts of Europe - in a single system.
Sympa is a versatile HR system that works very well for us. It is constantly evolving and the events are a good way to learn more and network with other Sympa users.

Cons
The reporting and analysis tools can be further developed to enable full use of all the data in the system. The automation of enrolment for refresher training courses can also be further developed to better meet the needs of larger companies with a wide range of training courses and complex refresher intervals.
I would have appreciated a more refined statistical tool to facilitate monitoring and reporting.
Our experience of Sympa is that building new features and making major changes on your own can be complex, sometimes leading to longer lead times and more administration than expected.
The reporting part also leaves something to be desired, especially as it is not possible to include history in the same report in a smooth way. Instead, you often need to generate several reports and then spend time on manual post-processing to get a complete picture.
We also see challenges linked to the way certain functions are structured: Sympa bases parts of its functionality on a specific set of basic data that is not mandatory to use. This means that, for example, the organisation chart and FTE reporting do not work as intended.
For user managers, the system can be perceived as complicated to manoeuvre. The Actions function helps, but it is not always obvious what to do at different stages. For an organisation with 35+ companies in large parts of Europe, we would have liked clearer overviews and more intuitive flows.
Sometimes there have been challenges in introducing new features.
