Infor Talent Management vs. SumTotal (legacy)

Infor Talent Management has been a much better experience with talent acquisition than other platforms. There is much more candidate organization and can accommodate for high candidate volume. Infor Talent Management also does well with the ability to contact multiple candidates at a time within a requisition. I feel Infor can improve greatly by performing actions on multiple reqs or candidates at once. It is time-consuming to navigate through each individual req or candidate profile when you have a high volume.

Very good for learning and development and training of employees. For Applicant tracking, recuirement, onboarding, and enablement, I prefer SAP SuccessFactors or Skillate. I also found that the SumTotal app is not very friendly on android and crashes sometimes and it is not optimized for mobile. Hence I end up never using it.

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.

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

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.

I used workday at a previous employer for a short time, but the transition of data between platforms was not smooth. We lost a lot of employee data in the transfer and spent most of the time re-entering the information. After the transition, it was fairly user-friendly but not adaptable or as organized as Infor Talent Management.

When I came to my company, they had been using a "light" LMS called Articulate. It was cheap and bare bones; i.e. not a lot of features, really just a platform to launch eLearning from and not real interface for student to utilize. When I began to overhaul the training department, this was one of the first things I changed. Articulate would only run courses built in their software, and the software was not 508 compliant. In addition, we had no ability to create learning plans, house transcripts, customize the interface, or manage the students. I made the choice to select and LMS that was a true LMS with all of the features that were critical to our clients' needs. Thus far, SumTotal has been able to support all of our needs, except one; mobile learning that is media rich

Incentivized

• Clean front-end user interface for easier course catalog management.
• Reporting has been more difficult than previous LMS.
