    Wiley
    CrossKowledge offers a superb library of learning content and a serviceable learning management system to go with it. If you’re looking for robust reporting or want to minimise the time you spend managing learning administration, you should look elsewhere.

    Pros
    Wiley
    • CrossKnowledge provides learning content across a wide array of subjects, and this content is delivered using various delivery methods (interactive e-learning, videos, reading material, activity journals, etc.)
    • CrossKnowledge’s learning suite makes it easy to set up and roll out a highly customised learning management system.
    • CrossKnowledge offers a mobile app that makes it easy to access both the learning management system as well as their learning content on the go.

    • Visualizing the hierarchy and relationship between objectives and key results. The nesting and double alignment functionality are especially helpful, as they can't easily be expressed on, say, a simple worksheet or Confluence page.
    • Reminding the team to make regular check-ins. What gets measured gets done. This prevents the common pitfall of setting goals and not revisiting them until the end of a project (when it is too late).
    • Integration with external sources for automated check-ins. Why do this manually when it can happen behind the scenes?

    Cons
    Wiley
    • As a learning management system, CrossKnowledge’s backend is missing several key features for learning administrators
    • It is immensely difficult to set up learning events and managing invitations to learners
    • Reporting is extremely limited: you can only see the reports that CrossKnowledge seems necessary; you have very limited customisation options, and many of the basic reporting functions are simply impossible

    • Accelerate integrations and add more integrations.
    • Ally.io has room for improvement in providing benchmark in-depth analysis across industries, same-size companies, etc.
    • Ally.io can still improve upon some of its product features and communicating the releases. Videos have been extremely helpful.

    CrossKnowledge’s learning content makes it a no-brainer. Besides, while their LMS isn’t as powerful or robust as we’d have liked, it’s still serviceable and most of our learners aren’t directly affected by it.

    Moodle is a far more powerful and flexible learning management system for learning administrators. Where CrossKnowledge has the edge is in its fabulous learning content library.

    Microsoft Viva comes with Teams. The Monday board is helpful too, but I just like Microsoft Viva better

    Wiley
    • It’s extremely difficult to evaluate ROI of a tool like CrossKnowledge, but it’s only been a little over a year since we rolled it out across the organisation and we’ve already made it part of our performance management system

    • Ally.io has had a positive impact so far in reducing the effort involved in managing the entire OKR program.
    • It also has brought with itself the opportunities to avail training and Q&A sessions with experts
    • Increased the overall engagement of the company with its objectives
