BrainStorm
Using the Brainstorm platform, we are able to provide employees with quick and instant training on pretty much everything Microsoft 365. The video training is perfect for the workforce: it's timely, precise, and very thorough. If we were to hire trainers to build and deliver all specific MS product training, it would not be cost-effective. The value of Brainstorm shines through from the aspects of productivity training. What is not much talked about is the time and cost savings associated with self-education. Users of the platform can uncover product use tips and tricks without contacting the company's help center or bothering to ask another co-worker for help. The Brainstorm platform provides courses that greatly improve the user's MS product line experience.

Userlane
Well suited:
  • Web-based software with many users, complex processes (or both) --> Easy to fix a lot of common support / training issues very fast
  • Software rollouts with high costs associated to ensure user acceptance is great --> Great feedback from users
  • Multiple applications where processes are adjusted regularly --> Fast to roll out across many apps and easy to maintain
Not so well suited:
  • Desktop apps -- > Doesn't really work for desktop
  • Mobile apps --> Limited support, only works for web-based mobile apps
  • Small user base (less than 50 users) --> Not required when there are only a few users

Cons
BrainStorm
  • Monthly training content could be more varied or customized for the individual user experience.
  • Maybe create a "software" finder that suggest tips and tricks to more advanced users.
  • Advertise more of the "live moderated events
  • Promote the "groups" function more by explaining how the group can benefit the user from peer experience

Brainstorm is just a better enterprise training system compared to other MS-365 training applications on the market. BrainStorm QuickHelp includes reliability and ease of use already built into the system which is very user-friendly. Speaking of the training tools, they are formatted in a huge variety of deliverable media that the end user will feel comfortable with: PDF, video, live event, group learning forums, et. Learners can forge their own path and set up their own learning schedule on their own time. These customized paths can be perfectly tailored for each user's needs. Honestly, Brainstorm Quickhelp just makes it easy.
