Arlo Training Management Software

Pros: Love that everything is all in one place and that Arlo handles multiple time zones. also that our website is always up to date with what courses are available for registrations.

Cons: Would appreciate a few more options to tailor summary views of each course (being able to see which trainer is down to take each session from the course summary page seems like a no-brainer), and options to schedule admin tasks. Non-admin staff can't really do much.

Pros: From a design point of view I love seeing the different options available to display the courses. They are very easy to edit with simple code and I most love the feature that show live on a website if the house is full or almost full.

Cons: As I came at it as a web designer for my client who was using the Arlo software already, I had to get 30 day access twice so I could do what I needed and it didn’t work initially - I did then send an email and I then got access soon after on both occasions.

Pros: Has a lot of features that meet our needs for offering private and public courses. Saves a lot of administration time and keeps all the information for our courses in one location!

Cons: I like the addition of the e-learning and look forward to some of the improvements in reporting on quiz results.

Pros: Arlo is great for scheduling and registering students! Our customers find the system very easy to use.

Cons: Wish we could register the same students in multiple training sessions from the back end for private courses.

Pros: Ease of use, nice layout, easy to register participants and send out certs - the certs are one of the best features.

Cons: Invoicing is too simple, it needs to be able to add units, ie 4 x $100 = $400 rather than me having to do the math

Pros: Arlos system functionality reliably delivers its core promises, our students can go in, check out and receive moodle access seamlessly. The stripe integration for payment processing works well, scheduling on arlo displays it on our website now without needing manual intervention reducing workload for the scheduling team and managing our teaching staff's schedule and course minimum/maximum student numbers is much easier. All of this works brilliantly

Cons: The API restiction on the backend can cause issues at time, having more reporting/custom reports build being possible in the system would be great and improving the teaching "offering email system" to include more complex courses woudl be brilliant

Pros: Arlo is the perfect app for managing a training business. We reviewed multiple options and settled on Arlo as the best for our needs. It's proved an excellent choice, and is extremely comprehensive. The WordPress integration is a great addition, allowing us to present our courses on our website very easily.

Cons: The API is dated, but still functional. It would be nice to have autocomplete on the search function.

Pros: Arlo is intuitive to use. It also provides a helpful home dashboard to allow you to take a quick pulse check of trends. I like the enhanced report functionality that has been introduced lately too.

Cons: Arlo suits our needs, however it would be helpful to have additional functionality such as formula fields on the contact. Additionally we utilise the Arlo-Salesforce connector and find that duplicate management is quite a manual process currently that requires admin work to maintain.

Pros: the feasibility of the platform. extremely easy to manage recurring courses and private training courses. Great value for the level of accessibility.

Cons: Communications are sent to most customer's junk folder, which is not conducive to having an automated comms option.

Pros: Very intuitive software, easy to use. Customer support is amazing and is always able to help overall system queries as well as helping me build efficient reports. Integrates into Xero for easy payment processing.

Cons: Could improve on ability to customise especially the online course checkout page, and the new eLearning course creation

Pros: Ease of use, response to questions, lots of ability to self-service changes. It is the best "off the rack" software of any kind i have ever used. I have used it for around 9 years.

Cons: It truly suits our business needs exceptionally well. There has not been any cons of significance - I literally cannot think of any.

Pros: I liked how it automated the process it made the registration part people friendly

Cons: It couldn't of been more step by step and people friendly

Pros: Great CRM to use particular for the operational side of your business,

Cons: Didn't integrate too well into our website for front end use

Pros: Captures all our data and integrates well with our website.

Cons: The constant need for MFA, the remember me doesn't seem to work

Pros: Most parts are easy to use and can mostly find what you are looking for and easily feeds into our website.

Cons: That there is certain reporting that we can't do and have to pay extra to adapt some email templates.

Pros: The amount of information we can present to our users, and our internal team, about workshops is terrific. Also, the integration with Moodle was a must and works really well.

Cons: Some quirks regarding the maximum number of exports of users for reports, and we'd like more flexibility and logic controls regarding the registration process (for example, if a user selects an option when registering, a certain registration path would open up for them according to internal logic).

Pros: Arlo is really easy to use and navigate. It has a lot of useful tools and processes. I use it every day and it has made my life easier scheduling courses.

Cons: There could be a few slight improvements with more advance filters

Pros: The software is great as one with no skills can be able to use the software with no problems.

Cons: The need to use the internet sometimes is overwhelming when you are in an area with no internet access.

Pros: I like the ability to organize and sell courses efficiently. Before using this platform I was dealing with messy spreadsheets and we had to manually enter data which was very tedious and error prone.

Cons: We experienced problems with its caching mechanism. Sometimes when visiting our page for the first time, the widget on this platform would not load correctly and we would have to refresh the page or visit it again for it to display correctly. This caused confusion and we may have lost 10-20% of visitors due to this technical difficulty.

Pros: Arlo has made scaling our business possible without feeling like we're "dropping the ball" anywhere. We were able to bring on new instructors, and the instructors can manage their classes directly in the Arlo app from their smartphones. This has been a game changer for us.

Cons: I do wish there was a way to make automatic purchasing of gift certificates possible, but at the moment we are working around this just fine with manually generated discount codes since it is not a high-volume area of our business.

Pros: The integration with zoom was exactly what we were looking for. We needed a quick and efficient way to create 30+ zoom invitations on a bi-weekly basis. This gave us all that we were looking for.

Cons: There are a lot of things in Arlo that aren't easily hidden to make it more user friendly on the admin side. Our use case was free courses for our internal company training and everything always had a price listed near(changed to zeros since it was free) it which can be confusing to an admin new to the system.

Pros: Arlo was able to reach out to us remotely. We had group training sessions. I could then follow up in an email with questions. I heard other departments also made queries and received good feedback.

Cons: The information in "sessions" does not carry over to the reports. ie. room number, Name of the session.The sessions do not have individual reminders. The "Event Reminders" only work at the beginning of the Event. We have people who register for only one of the sessions in an event. The reminder end up going out more than a week before instead of a couple of days before in this situation. I have to work around this by creating many events.

Pros: For staff, it's a simple training exercise to get users self sufficient at day-to-day tasks. For end users, transactions are seamless, fast and accurate. Integrations to payment processors are baked in and ready to go.

Cons: I think the auth and public api could be more inline with modern decoupled systems by providing flat, json endpoints that can easily be consumed by cms front ends, other apps
