CD2 Learning vs. SmarterU.com

CD2 Learning is a great fit for any organization wanting to help develop online training resources as well as online assessment and data analytics. CD2 Learning would not be a great fit for an organization wanting to do a lot of custom development to create a platform from scratch.

I think that SmarterU can be implemented in any organization in any industry. Especially in industries with more complex training requirements. The administration of the system is simple and the usability of the system to end users is even more simple

• The ability to restrict and customise the security preferences to ensure the system remains standardised.
• The phone customer support is good because you can get through to someone when it is really urgent.
• A lot of the interface is customisable as well, so you can change the look and feel yourself.

Incentivized

• Software works on multiple devices: computer, iPad, iPhone, Chromebook, etc.
• Easy to navigate

• There are times we wish CD2 Learning had additional resources to help address any issues that pop up within our platform in a more timely manner.
• CD2 Learning does not do a lot of custom development for each client. There are times we wish we could more easily alter aspects of the CD2 Learning platform to better fit our needs.
• CD2 Learning works in "sprints". Therefore, if an issue does not get included in the sprint, it can take some time before it is addressed.

• Reporting System can be improved.

Terrible to use for administrators. Hard to find the function you are looking for and over complicated

Really good support initially, now support is OK but we have fewer needs.

Before going with CD2 Learning, we looked at using Cornerstone for our services. We found Cornerstone was considerably more expensive than CD2 Learning. Additionally, we were always very impressed with the people at CD2 Learning, which continues to be a great strength for them. Their people are wonderfully caring, supportive, and collaborative.

Most online LMS systems work really well to track and manage training that the system is delivering. However, most systems are not very good at managing training requirements which are delivered outside of the system. For example, First Aid training, or license requirements are accomplished through third party. SmarterU was the only system we evaluation that was able to track these items with the ability to monitor the renew dates properly.

• It has helped us to make sure our training is consistent across multiple locations and trainers and ensured less drift.
• The course tracking and certification allows us to manage new hires and make sure they complete all required training to later achieve an RBT certification.
