eFront Has an Attractive Back End, If You're Into That Kind of Thing
Pros
- eFront has a great deal of flexibility, allowing us to customize certain requirements, the look and feel of the web interface, the overall user experience.
- It keeps very good track of user progress throughout lessons, and allows us to quickly identify users who may require more personalized training.
- The reports module has a great selection of standard reports, and allows us to build certain custom reports as well.
- SCORM compliant, with the Tin Can API means that we will be able to share data with parts of the organization that are not using eFront as their primary LMS.
Cons
- Support desk is geared towards back-end programmers. As an Administrator, I am reliant on the User Interface to accomplish everything I need to do. When I get stuck, they occasionally come back at me and ask me to send a copy of a file buried somewhere in the server, only accessible to someone with SCP access to our server. I end up having to refer the response to a PHP programmer - and so far, the solve rate for those issues is 0%
- The Courses are not clickable, and they are much larger in the display than the clickable lessons. I get a lot of support requests where people believe they cannot access the course because they clicked on the 24 pt. course name and nothing happened. I write back and tell them to click on the 12 pt. Lesson, and they get in. It's just an ergonomic nuisance really. Not mission-critical.
- Most of the test question types do not work in a lot of browsers, so we are limited to T/F and Multiple Choice. There may be a way to remedy this, but I haven't figured it out.
Return on Investment
- Increased employee efficiency
- Adoption of misunderstood and maligned software that is essential to our company
- Lots of pats on the back from upper management
- Impressively easy to sign up new users through a self-registration process - went from 0 to 2,000 in three weeks.

Usability
eFront: Decent functionality at a high price
Pros
- The customer service is pretty good
- Ability to create reports that pull key information from massive amounts of data
- Ability to log tickets for issues
Cons
- It is difficult to learn how to create reports that show exactly what you want. The dashboard part of the software is not very user friendly. Extensive training is necessary to learn how to use it proficiently.
- It is very expensive, including licenses, training, report creation, etc.
- I've experienced downtime with the site a few times.
Return on Investment
- Faster, more accurate reconciliation
- Increased employee efficiency
- Ease of reporting
Review of a 3 year user of eFront.
Pros
- The tool gives you a simple rating system from 1-4 and if you do not qualify as a 3 or 4 it insists that you develop an action plan to address the issue you might have with the particular KIC.
Cons
- The tool could use a simpler layout and become slightly more user friendly. Possibly have better guidelines as to where to find particular items or illustrate the flow of what needs to be completed first and so forth. Overall just a simpler layout would go a long way, seems a little clustered at the moment.
Return on Investment
- It has led to finding and correcting any issues we have seen with our KICs and developing a better environment within the organization that no longer has risks with any KICs.
