    I would recommend HubSpot Academy as an 8. It is an 8 because it is very informative and a great start for learning HubSpot CRM. There is every topic you can think of with informative videos, interactive learnings, and practice quizzes. Topics like workflows, email marketing, sequences, etc. However, sometimes the videos are very long. They are more effective when they are shorter and there is more of them. It is a hit or miss when that happens. Also, the trainings do not go into great detail so it is better for starting learning the basics and functions.

    The team in charge of implementing Scality has to be full stack in order to guarantee the correct functioning of the entire system. However, you have to think very carefully about the balance between servers and disks, perhaps adopting smaller fully populated servers instead of large semi-populated servers, which would mean that over time our disk updates will not have a fully useful life.

    They have a large library - make sure you clearly study the library offerings and choose the courses that are best for you as you will never be able to use all of them. Make sure you survey your user base before purchasing the licensing of the library courses so the courses are 'marked' with an employee in mind to keep costs minimized. Only purchase the Books 24x7 if you have a large IT department - otherwise you might want to lease a smaller content portion. Their Leadership Development, Project Management, business series and critical thinking and technical products are exceptional.

    • Covers a wide-breadth of topics ranging from desktop / office skills to communications skills to leadership development
    • Offers knowledge portals (Knowledge Centers) around specific topic areas such as Management Development, Six Sigma, Professional Foundations, Sales, etc - that aggregate content from the large Skillsoft resources and present it in a way that is both meaningful and relevant to the learners. Plus, they have editors update the featured topic each month.
    • Include a wide variety of learning media such as eLearning courses, books, book summaries and videos.

    Cons
    HubSpot
    • Missing actual workshops on some of the premium features of HubSpot
    • Pace of updates and new platforms features might be missing from the existing learning content at the time.
    • Having the actual lessons in written format

    • The overall packaging is not very good. I think it could be more efficient for installation.
    • There are many components in storage servers. This can generally be complex to understand, you have to be patient.

    • The platform does have room to improve their response time for assistance. Depending on the issue an internal "help team may be required"
    • They removed what was called "knowledge centers" which could be summed up as an accumulation of books, courses, exams, practice exams, articles and basically any asset within the platform surrounded by a particular subject. This was a great benefit to some of our customer. It was a one-stop-shop but now you would need to search independently for all of those assets.
    • Because the platforms library can be customized its a bit of a struggle to have certain assets changed or modified within Skillsoft. You basically are on their time when it comes to updates or any major changes you as a customer would like to make.

    I would recommend to renew as this is part of our employee development goals and we make a strong commitment to develop employees' people skills. I think SkillSoft has a very innovative approach to develop people's interpersonal skills other than traditional classroom learning.

    Usability
    HubSpot
    For HubSpot Academy's usability, I rate it a 9 because it is very simple and easy to use. HubSpot Academy is very user friendly. You can pick a category like "email marketing" then you will have an intro video, follow up detail videos, practice quizzes, interactive practices, and some sections have a certification quiz at the end. It is very easy to navigate sections. The only reason I rate the usability a 9 instead of a 10 is because sometimes HubSpot Academy does not register the interactive practices.

    As an organization, it took us a while to understand the shift from a traditional black box SAN to software-defined storage, but now we are much more certain of what this means. The time invested and the resources were not very high, thanks on the one hand to the technical support and on the other to the coherence and good development of the platform.

    There are things that could be easier. Having a more customizable carousel that can rotate relevant content in and out on a regular basis would be nice. They could also make some of the video content more engaging. Some of it is pretty dull and people can lose interest pretty fast.

    Just that it takes a village. It cannot be done alone. Everyone needs to know what you are doing and what their role is in the implementation. Tightly managing the project management schedule and resources is important in ensuring that everything gets done on time, and with quality. Education is KEY

    I think it goes straight to the point. It doesn't have a million courses but it's enough with the ones they have because they're amazing.

    Due to the nature of our business we require extensive encryption and availability for sensitive customer data. The erasure encoding that Scality provides gives us the assurance that documents are rest are never in a state of being downloaded or available to a casual data thief. This is something that can be found with other vendors but at a fraction of the same cost. Having this kind of performance, availability and redundancy at the cost that Scality provides has made a large difference to our organization.

    • Keeping sensitive customer data secure is a must for our organization and Scality has great features to make this happen.
    • We replaced a single SAN with a Scality ring and found performance to improve as we store more and more customer data.
    • Being able to lose various portions of our Scality ring and allow it to continue to service customers while maintaining high performance has been key to our business.

    • The ability to have on-demand training saves money in not having to have an in-house trainer.
    • Employees can complete training on their own time (even at home), so if they need more time for a training, they can complete it on their own time.
