enablon

What do you like best?

I liked the versatility of the system in terms of organizing and categorizing data. Its ability to set self-updating reports and graphics which allow for non-expert users to rapidly understand information that is pertinent to them. High levels of customization and very good search and filtering tools allow for easy retrieval of information and analysis of what the data is tell you. I found it especially useful for rapidly identifying evolving trends and being able to therefore make accurate predictions or identifying pain points before they evolved into serious issues.

What do you dislike?

Enablon has a particular logic that needs to be understood by the user before they can actually be proficient with the toolset. I used enablon as an administrator and the number of queries I would receive from users about how to find information or understand the data stored was quite high, both of these skills should be within reach of basic users. Enablon is an incredibly powerful tool but it needs to be matched with an equally robust and clear basic training and onboarding process for basic users to ensure that they can take full advantage of the system.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Enablon allowed us to centralize information from across several data management services we were using. Additionally, it was a highly functional tool that could be utilized on mobile devices as well as pc which our previous system was unable to do. This is very useful as most of our field workers were located in mines where they did not have stable connections for their computers or out in the field where they could not carry their computers. Allowing them to input data directly from their cellphones allowed an increased flow of information from the sites to the safety team and additionally speed up reporting and investigation processes.
