User Testimonials
	Bridge LMS, Skills & Performance Management	Seismic Learning
Likelihood to Recommend	Bridge is suited for scenarios where you need ppl to complete steps in order or test that they received the correct amount of knowledge after watching a video. I do think Bridge is less appropriate for companies that use it in external training scenarios as there is some key functionality missing. We gotten very good at brainstorming and finding solutions/ways to get Bridge to work the way that we need it to Incentivized KD Kelsey DeBruin Training Team Manager Read full review	Lessonly can be used anywhere a digital learning system works. We use a mix of hands-on training and curriculum. For training our photographers, they go through the lessons with a camera on the desk to test with and tangibly learn what they are reading. Same with our production teams, we have physical representations of the camera cards and order forms that they will be dealing with on a daily basis to help solidify the training they are receiving from Lessonly. It frees up our full-time staff to get prepared for the new season. Once the new hires are done with their assigned lessons, they are ready to start shadowing staff. All of the training and shadowing is done in one day and they are ready to hit the ground running on day two! Lessonly has greatly increased our productivity. Incentivized CK Cait Kaider Events Production Specialist Read full review
Pros	Superb Customer Support: Getting help from Bridge is so accessible; whether it's via our customer relations rep, the chat or email option. I know I can always get immediate help when I need it. Events: The Bridge annual conference is a wonderful way to connect with Bridge and other companies who use it to get inspired and share ideas. Constantly improving: Every Bridge comes out with additions and improvements to make the user experience better. Incentivized Emily Stokes Global Recruitment Training Manager Read full review	Open to feedback and ideas and constantly innovating and iterating on their product to serve new needs that arise Making me feel like more than just a customer: They aren't transactional and focus on building the relationship and making me feel heard. Extremely easy to use product so building content takes little time, and I can leverage other subject matter experts to build content as well. Incentivized KC Karie Champlin-Albarran Learning and Development Lead Read full review
Cons	There is a 'language' that is used by Bridge staff which takes some getting used to. So many terms are 'tech speak' and it does take some extra time to learn those terms. The menus and links to reports, etc. are not as intuitive as they could be. I find myself frustrated at times trying to navigate. I don't automatically relate terms like 'insights' and 'instance' in the way they are used by Bridge. I've asked for a notification via email when a user completes the program. I recognize that this has been a work in progress but it seems like it should be a relatively simple fix. Initially, Bridge provided sessions which were designed to educate a new user on every aspect of everything Bridge has to offer. Much of this was a waste of time in our case. The training sessions should have asked first what we intended to do and provided only the information needed to get us going. We needed only a push in the right direction, not an overview of every possibility we may encounter. Incentivized Larry Laskowski Executive Director Read full review	When editing a reveal or flip card, the image and text are backwards. The text is on the top and the image is on the bottom when you are editing. But when you publish the lesson, they switch and the photo will be on the top and the text will be on the bottom. Their customer service agents are incredibly friendly and helpful, it will just often be a while before someone is able to respond and assist you. Incentivized Rachel Blankenship Customer Experience Representative Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	It has been very useful to our organization in getting compliance training complete. We have a 24/7/365 organization with some folks only working 2 days a week during the summer only, many work full-time jobs elsewhere and can't make weekday programs and facilities don't have to alter schedules to get mass numbers of people through training like you have to do with live training.. Incentivized GS Glenna Stricklett Training Coordinator Read full review	Worried about its acquisition by Seismic and hope that they don't change the product or the terms drastically. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Even our folks who fought using it realized how easy it was once they took their first course. Incentivized GS Glenna Stricklett Training Coordinator Read full review	Extremely easy to use. I was up and running with my team almost instantly. Working at a small company, we didn't have a lot of dev/engineering resources. Having a tool like Lessonly helped me instantly export information to my team without any additional delay from internal departments Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Always timely and knowledgeable assistance. Very patient explaining answers to novice users. Incentivized GS Glenna Stricklett Training Coordinator Read full review	This is one of the main reasons I keep going back to Lessonly. The customer service is some of the best I've ever experienced. From the sales process to the work with your customer success rep, Lessonly by far beats out the competitors in this area. Incentivized Jayme Kiester Vice President - Channel Partnerships Read full review
Implementation Rating	Our challenges were internal - nothing with Bridge. We had regular, productive meetings with our implementation representative. Incentivized GS Glenna Stricklett Training Coordinator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Our previous LMS was Symphony. Hands down, there is no comparison. Switching to Bridge was the best decision made by our management team. All we used Symphony for was for our monthly compliance training. Many times people would complain that they would need to retake their compliance course as Symphony would lose records. It became a hassle having to retake a course because you didn't save a copy of the completion certificate. Bridge allows for more than just compliance training AND we are able to see if learners didn't complete their courses via the reports. Incentivized Jane Frank National Training Coach Read full review	MindTickle was hated by our users - company switched to Lessonly before I arrived. Allego and Docebo both seem to have fundamentally different uses - mostly for hive-mind knowledge collection among salespeople, which may be helpful, but can't be scaled to the entire organization, and not suited to top-down training requirements. We may eventually purchase to supplement Lessonly, not replace it Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Bridge has allowed us to centralize our compliance training allowing for easy tracking. Bridge Learn has also made it easy for managers to track employee up-skilling from a learning perspective. Bridge Learn's native authoring tool makes it easy for SMEs to enter content directly into Bridge. One of the unexpected results of using Bridge Learn has been the high demand for professional development material. Employees want to use Bridge to learn more about the careers that they aspire to. This has increased learner engagement significantly on the platform. Incentivized Bronson Pasko Director of Training Read full review	Lessonly has allowed for easier dissemination of information which has helped with employee engagement among our remote employees. Finding creative ways to use Lessonly has allowed us to keep everyone aligned on our cultural values. Using Lessonly within a live training event allows for higher learner engagement.
