    Hoopla
    Hoopla is a valuable ally to improve the team's performance. [I]t is a great help for those teams that have defined and [created] clear automated metrics. However, if you are in a team where the metrics are manually evaluated, it can be hard to get excited about the progress, since it will take longer to refresh.

    Top Hat
    Top Hat is well suited for courses where students are comfortable with utilizing online learning management system as part of their course contents. It is more appropriate to use Top Hat as a stand-alone learning management system or if the school happens to have it integrated to the system. It is not recommended to use Top Hat and another platform or system for students as this would be too much for students.

    Cons
    Hoopla
    • I wish it ran in a browser and not as a full Chrome app, would have made setup easier.
    • It was nice to have default images out of the box, more would have been nice.
    • For smaller companies, it can get pricy, quick. We 100% see the ROI to be clear.

    • If students are paying, it's a confusing onboarding process for students and instructors and could be better streamlined.
    • The Android app not as well polished as iOS.
    • A better, free, or ad-supported model might be more palpable to students.
    • Integration directly with PowerPoint -- not requiring instructors to upload their slides to Top Hat.

    Usability

    I gave it a 9 because it really is an extremely easy service to use. I would comfortably say that a brand use user could be set up and using it within just a few minutes. Hoopla has been very great about making any new update very user friendly and easy to use and figure out

    I have really enjoyed my relationship with our client success manger, Annette. She is always willing to hop on a call for a quick question and is very responsive. She has taken the time to walk me through how to upload new reports, set up new metrics and leaderboards, while also being helpful in setting up a new channel to broadcast

    They were both comparable based on the tool and results on how we wanted to Broadcast sales metrics and KPI’s across the entire sales organization. Hoopla just seemed to be much easier to use with fewer bells and whistles. We felt based on the pricing structure and how we planned to display hoopla on monitors throughout our office that it was the best choice to move forward with

    Top Hat generally stacks up pretty well against other industry leading or popular learning management systems. Top Hat is comparable to learning management systems used in most educational institutions. The features such as allowing the educator to create an interactive experience by leveraging tools such as quizzes and polls is comparable. Data on student performance is also a helpful feature that is comparable to that of other similar learning management systems.

    Return on Investment
    Hoopla
    • We hear music and folks cheer when a "Breaking News" announcement occurs. The community level engagement can not be quanitified
    • The contest environments have helped to lead sellers to stay an extra 30 minutes and make 10 more calls just to pass someone up. We see our call volume increased because of it.
    • We measure the trails of our solution that our sellers create from leads. We can see an active pursuit of those conversions to be at the top of the leaderboard. More trails, lead to more opportunities, that lead to more sales.

    • One of the better ways to track attendance in a mostly secure and automated way.
    • Promotes more active learning, especially in large classrooms.
    • Unpopular if students have to pay.
