## Reviews

### "Addressing some of the compliance-related issues in FP\&A" — 4.0/5

> **Celio** | *12 April 2025* | Business Supplies & Equipment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the full audit history that Actus maintains about every role assignment. It makes it fairly easy when one wants to determine who was supposed to be responsible for doing what within the time frame of a given period. It has been very useful during submissions to the regulatory bodies and internal assessment of risks.
> 
> **Cons**: I did experience slow queries especially when it had to do with historical compliance logs across large records. It does not pose a current problem but crawling older files from one department for other departments may be more efficient in future releases.

### "Implementing compliance follow up across the entire firm" — 4.0/5

> **Abdelsalam** | *12 April 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The features that caught my attention with Actus are the real-time responsibilities assignment. The system creates an excellent audit trail so fielding a regulatory inquiry is simple and straightforward, and the program is very useful during the quarterly compliance audit process
> 
> **Cons**: I noticed that the Certification tracking notifications were short of flexibility in the sense of timing. Since it is a rigid framework, organisations operating under different cycles end up developing overlapping or gaps by default that require manual checkup.

-----

### "Ensured reliable support for SEAR and certification audits" — 5.0/5

> **Ziad** | *12 April 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The aspect that left the most impact in me was its capability to clear confusion about SEAR obligations in Actus. In fact every given task does have a record within the digital environment and that somehow gives a lot of confidence to us compliance leads.
> 
> **Cons**: I saw that there is no auto escalation if one does not acknowledge the role assignment within a certain duration. This has to be done manually and may slow down some compliance operations, particularly, during peak seasons.

### "Liverpool John Lennon Airport" — 5.0/5

> **Rebecca** | *5 December 2019* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The main selling point of Actus was the level of personalisation they offered us as a business. When we began looking for a Performance Management system this was our No.1 criteria and Actus where able to deliver exactly what they had sold us. It was very important to us that the system we purchased was both user friendly and adaptable to the differing needs of our diverse workforce and this is exactly what Actus delivers. The reporting in the system is also excellent and has already enabled us to significantly improve our Performance Management reporting across all areas.
> 
> **Cons**: There were a couple of amendments we would have liked to make in the system before launch that we weren't able to implement due to it being part of the core build of the system. These however were only minor points and the implementation team worked hard to come up with suitable suggestions on how we could adapt these elements to better suit our needs.
> 
> Our experience with Actus has been outstanding. From initial contact and tender process through to implementation and launch of the system I cannot fault the service we received. We had a very short schedule for build and launch to meet our internal deadlines but the whole team at Actus worked hard to ensure that we were able to achieve this. Every member of the team we have dealt with has been extremely helpful and patient with all requests we have made. I would highly recommend Actus to any organisation looking to implement a Performance Management system.

### "Feedback on Actus Software" — 5.0/5

> **Helen** | *26 November 2019* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I found the software was user friendly and each screen operated in the same way.  It lends itself to an all year cycle of managing performance and ensuring dialogue is frequent with the employees.  It also is split into logical sections so a review/meeting can be tailored and as long or short as required to cover possibly one area at a time.  This helps with focus and allows reflection between meetings.
> 
> **Cons**: To start with it seemed disjointed but the more you use the product the more you realise it's better to be sectioned as I mentioned above to keep meetings short and focused.
> 
> As a company employee feedback highlighted a lack of development discussions and employee engagement.  The software has benefited in both areas as well as allowing managers to see the benefits of more regular discussions.
