## Reviews

### "Enviro Cognology Review 2024" — 5.0/5

> **Grace** | *24 June 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I enjoyed the delivery of cognology from beginning to end. The implementation and training provided to support the steps was outstanding.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing comes to mind at the moment. I'm sure as we continue to use the system we will run into some cons.
> 
> Fantastic, efficient and cost effective.

### "Can't speak highly enough about the product and the support received." — 5.0/5

> **Kathryn** | *19 December 2017* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The functionality of the onboarding and the overall ease of use when administering.  Have also been very impressed with their openness to suggestions for improvement.  The staff has loved the fact that they now can manage their employment processes online.  Especially useful for as we have over 19 sites to manage employees across.
> 
> **Cons**: Not too much that I don't like and anything that we suggest is a problem is usually fixed.  We were one of the first companies to use the onboarding and, of course, with any new product there were some minor issues to work through.
> 
> Cognology's onboarding solution has been a huge time saver for us.

-----

### "We are in our first year of use and have at times found it challenging in respect of setting up." — 3.0/5

> **Luana** | *08 January 2018* | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Provided a central system in respect of reviews and allows us to be online as opposed to a paper base review system that we previously had.
> 
> **Cons**: Has not been as easy to navigate as we initially thought. In hindsight we would do things differently to get more out of the software.

### "Cognology On-boarding and Performance" — 5.0/5

> **JENNIFER** | *10 September 2020* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's extremely user friendly and easy to navigate; integrates with our other systems and offers interactive opportunities for teams to communicate with each other and their manager. We can customize it as we grow to fit with our new requirements and it's uncluttered and a pretty system to look at.
> 
> **Cons**: Any features we thought could be improved or were missing, were altered to our requirements prior to launching.
> 
> It's been a truly encouraging and rewarding process working with the team from Cognology. Nothing is too much trouble, everything was done in a very timely manner, including during the shutdown of Victoria during the peak Covid-19 period.  We now have a streamline recruiting/onboarding system, all variations of contracts are managed using Cognology and now we're about to launch all of the performance management using Cognology,: from development planning, probations and quarterly reviews to the end of year annual review.

### "Highly recommend Cognology" — 5.0/5

> **Carmenw** | *17 August 2023* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The system is very customisable to different business needs and has lots of features to suit our requirements. The Support Team are very responsive and always exceeds expectations in their response time and ability to resolve any issues.
> 
> **Cons**: The system can be a little tricky to navigate initially because of all the features/customisable options in the back end for Admin Users. Sometimes it isn't intuitive on where to find things.
