edX for Business vs. Skillsoft

edx is really helpful for learning and growing your skills in both personal and professional aspects. It helped us learn all the business concepts which were required for our company. We chose certification after auditing a number of courses. It was definitely a terrific tool for professionals who were self-learning.

For some of the topics in my organization, Skillsoft Academy is best suited due to the length of the course and the ease to understand. However, the courses are very limited being a Cloud user. There are various platforms that offer a wide range of courses for Cloud. Though Skillsoft offers many courses, they are easy to understand which makes the user comfortable with the platform.

edX for Business seemed to be quite similiar to other competitors in terms of methodology and formats. In our case, courses themes availability were very important, because the challenge was to find relevant content to support pre-defined learning tracks. We found most of them on edX for Business catalog. The posibility to integrate them into other platforms was also an important decision factor.
