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.
Skilljar is well suited to self-paced courses that need to be accessed by users in any location at any time. It hosts a variety of content that adult learners can use to upskill in the areas that are relevant to them. While you can host live virtual events through the platform, it is not ideal for situations where regular student interactions or instructor facilitation is needed, as there is not a discussion forum feature.
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.
The design is simple. If you're looking for a complex or beautiful platform, this isn't it. However, Skilljar makes things very easy to follow and build within.
Navigating Skilljar is very logical. it is easy to set up a new course and navigate within that course.
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
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.
I think it's great overall; so many things are easy to use. However, there is room for improvement. Navigating can be confusing at times - especially when it comes to domains, theming, live event courses and where certain settings live and what you can and can't do from each page
I’m fairly experienced with LMS’ and don’t usually require help or support on topics. The CSM team is quite good overall however more than often time between meetings and solutions (at least from my experience) can take time. Regardless, the team has been helpful and answers all questions - or comes back with an emailed solution
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.
Compared to other LMS it has great features, plus a faster learning curve and is very easy to manage. Other platforms could be cheaper but are pretty limited, and others have way to much features that we were not going to use and with a very high cost, so complex that the company even would need a specific lms manager, something that we don't have atm
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
Our customers seem to be getting onboarded efficiently. Giving our customers a good experience helps us retain them longer.
So far, we are still not able to come up with solid metrics that it provides evidence of ROI. If Skilljar could somehow come up with clear, actionable metrics about customer success and how that relates to ROI then I think it would be vastly better. To be fair, we roll the cost of using Skilljar in the overall price, otherwise, we would charge customers and have a revenue stream to measure.
