I personally, am not a fan of SumTotal. I have worked on several different HRIS and Payroll systems which outweigh all aspects of SumTotal (Lawson Interface Desktop, Ceridian Dayforce, ADP Enterprise, and Ultimate Software's UltiPro). As antiquated as Lawson felt, it had more functionality than SumTotal. Of course, all others I worked on were for the most part cloud based and had modern functionality to go with it.

• It digitizes the entire onboarding process.
• It helps with personalised onboarding process.
• Helping to make the Day 1 easier with right tech equipment and process.
• It helps with data driven decision making approach.

• SumTotal has a very user friendly design, making it easy for non-programmers to configure their LMS interface, customize various environments for different groups, and to integrate numerous external web applications through iFraming, such as social media or news feeds. I was able to configure a custom environment for several different clients, making it feel like their own LMS, such as a custom color scheme and logos, custom widgets (which are section of any page), news feeds, training messages, and custom learning plans.

• More possibilities for IT account creation tracking.
• More connections between IT tools for example IT asset management system.
• Trainings for non-HR people that also can help configure this program.

• JasperSoft Reporting - it is difficult to use and manage.
• Exams could be more robust. Offering alternate types of questions.
• Too many clicks on the administrator side. Adding new activities is not intuitive, you need to click through each section to determine what needs to be entered where. Would be better if it was guided for new activities, just prompting for 'required' fields.

I have transitioned from a position who supported the product to a position where I use the product. I continue to be impressed with the robustness of the product and how efficient it is. It is a user friendly software that can be used to navigate and accomplish tasks to meet organizational requirements.

Really easy to get started, largely drag and drop. If you get stuck, the support team is always there to help!

I do not find SumTotal to be intuitive. I feel we need to adjust our needs to meet the functionality available in the tool.

It all started when they first contacted us to trial the product - it was the best vendor pitch that I had encountered in over 20 years. It turned out to be a great reflection of the whole team we worked with during the implementation and ongoing stages. They are highly responsive to your needs and requests and open to supporting different ways to use their products

We have our own IT support to assist in SumTotal issues, however, we have had to log in cases directly. Support is mediocre at best.

As an organisation, we have evaluated many Engagement and people connection software before shortlisting and testing these software and finally selecting 1 software. It helps in designing people-centric programs and people engagement. It helps your employees to cut through the clutter and have meaningful conversations. It has a user-friendly interface that helps and encourages employee participation. It helps build a Learning and Development program for all.

SumTotal Talent Development is a very competitive product. In my opinion SumTotal Talent Development is better than Freshteams, Darwinbox, but not as good as Skillate, SAP SuccessFactors. SAP SuccessFactors is enterprise grade and used only by large organizations and has too many modules and hence a tough learning curve. While SumTotal Talent Development has a small learning curve.
