The investment for many courses may exceed what some companies can budget.
The app should be in better sync with the website; furthermore, sometimes the UI is slow and sluggish.

Udemy for Business 8.8

Based on 8 answers

The support of the person that made the courses varies some are fast others are very slow to get any feedback or help. A knowledge base could be helpful. I haven tried to contact Udemy for Business for platform support reasons. The web platform overall seems to be stable and the same across all devices.

Alternatives Considered

The main differentiator was the contents as we were interested in a cloud platform other similar platforms did not have the below: it is very good to establish cloud learning development plans and then track them and manage them for the team.

I'd say Udemy is the best, or amongst the best, because it has so much content, is easy to use, and integrates with large businesses quite well.

The most important impact Udemy has had in our Business is that continuing education is making them happier for a low cost, and everyone can choose a topic of their interest and the interest of the company.
It has reduced the amount of people quitting their jobs because we care about their personal growth.
Some of our areas have become more efficient.
Remember that it is less expensive to train people even if they leave your company than it is having someone not trained with a lack of knowledge in your company!
