    It is a simple and easy-to-use interface. It can sync easily with your mobile app if required. My company uses Edcast for different purposes i.e. for learning resources to grow us within the organization.

    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.

    • 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

    It's easier to use then BambooHR and it is simple and self-explanatory. So being part of this organization I always prefer Edcast.

    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

    • 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
