Bridge vs Zywave Client Cloud - Education & Training

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

We have multiple locations across multiple states. Training in person is sometimes impossible. I like that you can assign training that employees can complete at their leisure, and you can track where they are with their tasks.

Pros

Bridge is designed for the user so it is intuitive and easy to use.
Bridge includes an authoring tool so building custom content is fast and easy.
Bridge does a good job of providing user information for managers. Managers can quickly and easily see how many courses their reports are enrolled in and if anyone is overdue on required courses.
Bridge is also built with learning science in mind. There are multiple options for assessments, including an option for verified tasks to be completed to demonstrate proficiency.

Cons

Bridge could improve their categorization feature for trainings; folders would be great!
I'd like to see more ways to add content in the Bridge native environment in the future. Being able to create tables, infographics, and other training materials right in the system would be a great time saver.

I wish it would alert you via email when someone hasn't completed an assigned training.

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..

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.

Return on Investment

Certainly, Bridge was not an inexpensive option when we were reviewing platforms. To date, we have not seen a positive ROI but believe that will happen in the near future as we expand an offering of an additional program.
Reviews from our users indicate that they appreciate the professional and easy to use features Bridge provides, along with the video based design of the program.
The program we developed with the Bridge platform supports our position as educators in our industry.
