Considered Both Products	Full Code No answer on this topic	LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) Verified User Anonymous Chose LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) We like LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) for its large content library and variety of content. Go1 is good for the Australian content. Litmos is good for the compliance training. They each have their purpose. Incentivized Helpful?

Arthur Kegerreis Multimedia Web Design Consultant and Contractor Chose LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) Again, this corporate form is trying to force me to choose from products with slightly different names while not offering common options. Udemy seems similar in many respects, but my recollection is that their subscription model was less appealing. I didn't find they offered … Incentivized Helpful? Cedric Allen Founder/Principle(Videographer) Chose LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) I have looked at Google's training courses along with other free online vendors/in-person course and no one comes close to LinkedIn Learning. They make it easy, fun, and retainable. Incentivized Helpful? Jaymason Gallien Network Engineer Chose LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) LinkedIn Learning wasn't our first choice; what it came down to for the organization was the cost for the value of the product.

Matt LeMaire, B.A., M.A. Vice President, People & Operations Chose LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) We didn't get too deep into the comparison outside of a surface review of the other options.

Verified User Anonymous Chose LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) Hubspot Academy offers more specific video training on a variety of marketing and sales topics, which is also good, but LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) offers a much broader variety of videos that accommodate needs in different areas of business from more technological to sales … Incentivized Helpful? Jason White Sr. End User Supt. Analyst Chose LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) We used an internal training solution prior to the switch, and LinkedIn Learning was leaps and bounds better than that system.

Sara Rogers Senior Marketing Operations Manager Chose LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) I haven't evaluated any other learning platforms but I have really enjoyed my subscription to LinkedIN Learning/Lynda.

Irina Danilova Marketing email coordinator Chose LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) I preferred Lynda.com because it provided me with better choice of classes I am interested in.

JB Jenna Boodram CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) With Udemy you pay per course whereas with Lynda you pay a monthly fee for unlimited courses.

Joshua Henke Senior Netsuite Admin / Analyst / Developer Chose LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) O'reilly Safari - it's a good tool, but more focused on reading; sorry, I just don't enjoy that! It's also not as polished in the areas of interface and navigation. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Salles Director, Learning and Knowledge Management Chose LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) While ease of use is better with Udemy or Coursera, nothing compares to lynda.com's catalog and pricing model (other than Khan Academy re: the latter).

User Testimonials
	Full Code	LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com)
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	lynda.com is well-suited for an individual OR an enterprise. You can take learning on-the-go via mobile phone or tablet. Instructors are well-known industry experts. There is a tremendous amount of courses. Ideal self-directed learning library to supplement anyone's ILT-heavy learning strategy. Incentivized Chris Salles Director, Learning and Knowledge Management Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	An in-depth tutorial, training, and reviews. An influx of information and specialists/experts available to help. Online courses for a multitude of topics—we're talking hundreds of videos. Able to take this on the go. Don't have to be in a desk at work to use lynda.com. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	When they were acquired by LinkedIn, the next invoice barely noted the invoice was for Lynda.com. I at first thought it was a phishing attempt using LinkedIn as a front. The invoice should be from the lynda.com domain and NOT from LinkedIn. Account administrators should be able to change passwords, and see passwords, for the license entities they manage. Also, all email notices to users should be duplicated to account administrators. Incentivized Rocky Banks IT Operations Manager Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	It can help all employees learn to strengthen current skills or to learn new skills and then can learn to excel in their current department or they learn a new skills in a new department creating interconnection and cross-departmental value in a company. Incentivized Erika Schaefer Executive Coordinator Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	The platform is very easy to use and navigate, the content is clearly itemised via the Contents section and the video playback speed can be adjusted. It's also useful to have optional captions (I always use them) and a transcript for accessibility purposes. Incentivized AS Ash Shenker General Manager Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	The technical team behind LinkedIn Learning (or Lynda.com) knows their job, and they usually solve problems very quickly. While I haven't had many run-ins with them (thus the low rating), I do find that when we call them, the problem gets resolved in a reasonable amount of time. The flip-side of this comment is that we never have needed to call them with a high-priority issue. Incentivized Jaymason Gallien Network Engineer Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	By implementation we are able to achieve 1.Skill improvement 2.Reduced burden on training staff 3.Learning new market leading technologies like Generative AI. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	Udemy for Business is a crapshoot. The consistency is non-existent. Some courses go incredibly deep, while other courses don't go deep enough. Even when we got a few free months of access to Udemy - I still couldn't find why I would use Udemy over LinkedIn Learning. Pluralsight is superior to LinkedIn Learning in programming/coding. They have a better library of content and more tests. What Pluralsight lacks is for non-developer skillsets. Buy Pluralsight for your devs. Coursera is not at all an option for the business environment. It follows the college model of delivering content slowly and without reason. Its focus is more on high-level possibilities, not real-world things you want to solve. Incentivized Rocky Kev Founder/Developer Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	I can't think of a negative impact that Lynda.com has when it relates to the extensive library of training software that is available to subscribers. I'm lucky that my job provides a free subscription for instructors. I use Lynda.com to hone in on my technical skills. Incentivized Ai Ashe Adjunct Instructor Read full review
