Docebo Learning Platform vs. Microsoft Hands-on Labs

Docebo [Learning Suite] is a great tool for hosting content when you have a clear idea and path of how you want your users to engage. Essentially, the UI and experience is beautiful and the navigation for users really beats out many other learning platforms but you need to be very deliberate in designing the paths for employees to take. You cannot expect employees and users to intuitively figure out what they need to do within the system. This is a key drawback. What I love is content curation from external sites such as youtube, linkedin, and uploaded videos that can launch all within Docebo -that for us is key to track how much engagement were getting where we couldn't have that on our previous platform.

The Microsoft Hands-on Labs were great for training when working alongside an instructor. They would show things on their screen, and I would work alongside with a real environment. Being able to actually use the environment and interact with it was more preferable than just a straight lecture. It allowed me hands-on practice.

• PPT import feature is my favorite. It will let you use your existing materials without a hiccup
• The UI is clean and intuitive. My audience was able to use most of the features with ease
• All learning analytics are easy to use and analyze offline easily
• Using the Linkedin Learning inside the platform gave us some time to come up with our own content, as we weren't sitting duck on an empty LMS

Incentivized

• The platform was simple
• It did what it needed to do

Incentivized

• Service and support
• The LMS is glitchy
• The company as a whole lacks a fine finish. It is 3 star in all categories and can't achieve excellence

• Copying and pasting can be clunky
• Sometimes the instructions are not accurate
• For some Microsoft tools, it requires you to create a temporary account, which takes some time and is time-consuming
• Have to remember to save or you will lose your environment
• May not be the most user-friendly to initially start

Users find it easy to navigate, but search functions are limited. For example, titling must be very precise. There is no AI feature that finds similar words or recommends learning based on previous searches. Learners cannot search for specific timepoints within videos and the platform is not compatible with all vendors (ex: Panopto)

The team is prompt and knowledgeable. It would be nice to have the ability to call and talk to a real person. All problems have been resolved so far, hence no issues.

Easy navigation. To increase user engagement. Auto assign training.

I think Udemy is really superior as a platform, people create super high quality courses that get employees up to speed in days. The platform has a web and mobile app and has taking notes functionality that can be exported

Incentivized

• We have many active users taking course content, which is great, but not a measurable ROI on our investment in Docebo.

• I think it has a positive impact in having a platform to train employees
• I don't think the cost might be worth it given that the content is super dry
