CloudShare vs. HubSpot Academy

I mentioned that during the last two years, a lot of the training we do at my business was impacted, just like a lot of companies. My biggest thing was getting everyone on the same page, and I feel some software does that better than others. With Cloudshare, It allowed me especially to see an accurate snapshot of what was going on with the learning portion of the work that we do by making it easy to digest what was going on in my workplace.

I would recommend HubSpot Academy as an 8. It is an 8 because it is very informative and a great start for learning HubSpot CRM. There is every topic you can think of with informative videos, interactive learnings, and practice quizzes. Topics like workflows, email marketing, sequences, etc. However, sometimes the videos are very long. They are more effective when they are shorter and there is more of them. It is a hit or miss when that happens. Also, the trainings do not go into great detail so it is better for starting learning the basics and functions.

For HubSpot Academy's usability, I rate it a 9 because it is very simple and easy to use. HubSpot Academy is very user friendly. You can pick a category like "email marketing" then you will have an intro video, follow up detail videos, practice quizzes, interactive practices, and some sections have a certification quiz at the end. It is very easy to navigate sections. The only reason I rate the usability a 9 instead of a 10 is because sometimes HubSpot Academy does not register the interactive practices.

I just felt that Azure had little to no help on the base tiers, whereas with Cloudshare, I felt a fuller "user experience" as it pertains to getting help when I and when my team needed it. I think that was the biggest and main thing in my opinion. In this software space, sometimes the little things can be the difference in picking one software over the other, and that basically was it for us!

I think it goes straight to the point. It doesn't have a million courses but it's enough with the ones they have because they're amazing.

• It may vary according to the usage scenario, but the user interface is comfortable. When you go into a little detail, you may not need counseling for initial use.
• You can manage the jobs that you would do multiple times on other platforms at once from here.
• All of these actually give you a profit. Time wasted, less application usage, less resource consumption, etc.

• Removed the training burden from managers to allow them to use the time elsewhere (2-8 hours)
• Provided more standard and robust training to new hires, allowing for more consistent customer experience
