Credly vs. VMware Learning Platform

This is our first experience with a digital badging system, so as of now it seems to meet our overall needs. Credly is very widely known and utilized by many companies, so they are well established in the arena. Real time training is a plus, as is a dedicated Credly success manager.

If you need to prepare for certification, this is a great platform as the on-demand version you can retain much more content spread out over time.

Our association really did not have much choice because the LMS we utilize only integrates with Credly. We have looked into and been approached by Badgr and Accredible, but have not investigated them much because we need the LMS integration for easy of issuing. In the future we may look into them when our Credly contract expires, just to cover our due diligence needs.

VMware Learning Platform is authorized for taking the cert test, where the Pluralsight course is not an authorized class equivalent
