EHS software with really great functionality
Pros
The Injury & Illness Recordkeeping functionality is really strong and is built around enabling a company to stay OSHA compliant.
The other basic safety program and compliance assurance tools have everything necessary to run a basic EHS program digitally. Beyond that, there are many different tools and suites available to totally manage, expand, and improve an EHS program digitally.
Our team really likes the ease of retrieving and seeing data and charts for analysis which makes our jobs so much easier.
Cons
Customization of the platform (if needed) can be difficult, slow, time-consuming, and expensive. The permissions and scope model can be difficult for new users and non-EHS professionals to understand and use.

A world class system with 25 years of experience
I have known the Benchmark Gensuite EHS system for the last 25 years. Benchmark Gensuite EHS has been a proven EHS system all this time, evolving with the evolving needs of the EHS function. Their focus on service and responding to your needs are world class. It is good to remember that Benchmark Gensuite was always for EHS folks, developed with EHS folks.
Pros
Implementing this system is quick. Technical go-live for some basic modules can be as short as three months ! Benchmark ESG is a full suite with all one would need for EHS and ESG management, allowing for phased imlementation of modules at the speed and scope that is needed. The ESG modules are fully CSRD ready . The EHS modules will provide you with functionalities to support your EHS program, covering compliance, SIF and HOP strategies.
The use of embedded AI, like describe-itAI and the PSIF-AI are state of the art.
Also there are options to link up external vendor AI tools. For example, the 3MotionAI ergnomic tools can be integrated into the Ergonomic Risk Assessment module.
Cons
The permission model structures are kept intentionally as simple as possible. Understandable for out-of-the-box. However in some areas permission structures requirements are more complicated. Example around ESG reporting. The need for "Limited Assurance" in CSRD regulations requires a double sign off on the reported data and therefor requires more complexity, clarity and differentiation of permission levels for access, review, reporting and verification. That should probably become an out-of-the-box feature instead of a custom.

Powerful, but inflexible
The biggest complaint I hear from NBCU users is that Gensuite does not provide consistent and reliable data or perform as expected.
Gensuite has the ability to manage a huge volume of data, and makes it possible to extract and analyze that data. Having said that, I often hear from users that the software is not very user friendly, and many employees frequently struggle with it. There are many features that you think the application would provide'that are just are not there. My company has spent thousands on custom programming with Gensuite, and then had to spend thousands more to try to get it to perform in a manner that is useable to the field workers. I am speaking specifically of the Mobile products. NBCU has spent over $100,000 so field personnel can conduct inspections while in the field'.so far these products have not worked in a consistent manner. This is frustrating to many workers that after struggling to get the apps to work, now refuse to use the mobile apps at all. Gensuite is a good basic system, but many features that you think the application would provide just are not there.
Many at my company really just want the applications to 'work', they sometimes feel too much time and effort is made on reformatting the pages to make them look pretty, when these users just want consistency and easy functionality. Many of our users are infrequent users of Gensuite, so when you change things for the sake of change it is disconcerting to these users.
Here's what I hear most:
' Metrics run from different reporting areas in Gensuite do not match
' Mobile applications not working together
' Offline not working
' Bar and QR codes do not work
' Why is Gensuite re-formatting pages again?
' Why do we have to 'pay' to get 'basic functionality?'
' Why does it take so long for things to be addressed or fixed?......then to hear Gensuite agrees it is an issue, and often the solution is a proposal or the issue is pushed to the forgotten land of Gensuite roadmap.
Overall we are now unhappy with Gensuite and the reliability of the data, responsiveness to concerns, and functionality. Some of the tools are large and require a fair amount of customization to be useful which can be difficult at times and as a result we will start looking at alternative systems (even though we would prefer not to) if these issues are not rectified quickly.

This is the best platform overall for features, functionality, and value.
Overall, this software makes managing EHS easier, and I have used other symptoms where I wanted to pull my hair out. Benchmark is the best. It's not the cheapest, but neither is it the most expensive. This is the best platform overall for features, functionality, and value.
Pros
The software is intuitive, easy to use, and when I introduced it to Supervisors for use, even they agreed and love it!
Cons
Love the software - it's too bad HR Integration and Single Sign On are add-ons.
Reasons for Choosing Benchmark Gensuite EHS
Truthfully, I am a former Benchmark (Gensuite) user. And at this brand-new company, we started with Benchmark. The company I left was using ETQ reliance and I thought that ETQ was not intuitive nor user friendly. I tried to fairly compare all these options, and ultimately found Benchmark was the best.Reasons for Switching to Benchmark Gensuite EHS

Excellent solution for our needs
Gensuite customer service has been excellent. Our account representatives are very responsive.
Pros
The software is designed for its intended use so they have already considered elements that I could never have imagined. It works extremely well for its purpose.
Cons
Doing mass uploads via Excel workbooks requires certain security settings that our company's I.T. environment cannot handle. I had to upload from my personal computer.
