Elium Reviews

A simple but coherent user interface that is immediately familiar with sophisticated capabilities.

Not much really. Being color-blind (daltonian) the new subtle colour schemes can cause readability problems, but that is a general problem across many platforms.

Try and identify your real needs in as great a detail as possible, share them with the elium team and they have the expertise to show you how your needs can be met, or be honest and say they are incompatible.

Primarily a knowledge repository. Over time consultants come and go, and needs vary according to the projects undertaken so rapid assimilation into a new project based on acquired knowledge is of critical importance.

For a long time, we were seeking a solution that is both scalable, easy to use and reflect this needs of having countries and departments exchangement information. As a global pharma company, regulations is key and having a repository where not only you can track document changes, but you can unleash comments on them sparks the whole company internal communication.

I also like the fact that this is not just a tool, someone from the company came and tried to guide us as best as possible to the maximum usage of the platform.

Still a bit too work on for instance on external sharing capabilities and overall customisations of the platform. It is pretty rigide compare to a true Intranet but more flexible that social intranets such as Yammer. Not cheap neither.

If you were strugling between Yammer and Sharepoint and looking to a challenger, this is it. It is not as pharma regulated as Zinc ahead, but we decided to take a platform doing 90% of what we need then using something heavier and using only 50%.

Removing fences between departments and countries by using shared spaces. Ensure regulatory approval of marketing materials through workflows. Avoid the mess on our hard drive by making sure no duplicates polutte the server.

- very functional web page

- Fast and efficient

Nothing at all, all the experience was great

Knowledge base + social features

L'outil est très souple et facile à utiliser

Le changement de version un peu douloureux

Le plus bel aspect, pour moi, est la transversalité et le nivellement hiérarchique permis par l'outil.

The platform is easy to use, enough customizable, user friendly.

Search engine is powerful

Elium provide open API to communicate with other Apps. Very useful.

We plug Elium to our SSO in a few minute

It's difficult to manage External users not in our SSO and company users in the SSO.

Sometimes, upload of big files such as videos failed.

No preview for Xmind files

Elium is easy to implement and we go live quickly. Our needs were easily understood by the Elium consultant Team.

Implement a KM tool need a lot of change management with our users but we dont had technical issues.

If you want implement this kind of tool you need a Knowledge Manager to spread KM culture everyday in your company.

With Elium we concentrate all of our templates, research, experience in one place.

We upload many types of media : doc, pdf,ppt, xls, mindmap, video

We reference partner contacts in Elium.

Great if you want to use the knowledge management functions

capitalisation au sein de l'entreprise, dans un emplacement unique

Interface is really user friendly, and correspond to Internet standard in 2018. Most users do not need training in order to use it.

Tags and spaces can allow various profile to see only information they need to see, in a very easy-to-implement way.

Mass creation of accounts, linked to an Active Directory, required specific AD groups to create specific profile. This means we need to completely reorganize ou AD directories; Elium is not customer compliant on this point.

Do not hesitate to create as many profiles as needed.

Elium allows us to concentrate in one tool various information, instead of many Lotus Notes. A direct consequence is the end of difficult and expensive maintenance on various and old tools.

It is also use as a main information center in the company.

Powerful tool dedicated to knowledge management

Some fonctionalities are not obvious to use

Explain in detail what you are looking for

Team collaboration (our consultants are located in different places).

Public, private & secret spaces according to the level of confidentiality

Great presentation with a feed content like any social network

Rather easy to use

Statistics presentations, with low level of Criteria to follow
