Litmos vs. MindTickle vs. Seismic Learning

Limos is great for introducing a topic, and taking refreshrs yearly on info already know. Some courses are better suited to a live course, with discussion and questions. We support people with complex medical needs, and review with a nurse is critical.

MindTickle is very well-suited for training materials and creating modules. It allows you to generate helpful click-throughs and track how users engage with and complete the content. MindTickle feels a bit less suited for loading in-person training content and events (e.g., recorded live training).

If you are onboarding new employees or consultants and you have a complex product, solution, or your business is layered and complex, this can help distill down the layers into basics so that new team or partners can build their knowledge base up the right way. This ensures they are learning what needs to be learned, and not what they surmise or assume, which can be incorrect and cause issues down the road - this is especially sensitive in our field. Training of all kinds can be done easily with this tool.

• Houses all training types in one place
• Allows us to organize trainings so we can share what is needed with one group, but hide the same content from others
• Gives us access to reporting to show what courses have been completed and which ones still need done

Incentivized

• It provides me a good graphical representation of the data and gives me the best information about the sales readiness program, which helps me to understand new processes.
• This tool has influenced us by providing training sessions too.
• Through this tool, I am managing my coaching sessions, checklist, and studying how I can better engage my audience.

• Open to feedback and ideas and constantly innovating and iterating on their product to serve new needs that arise
• Making me feel like more than just a customer: They aren't transactional and focus on building the relationship and making me feel heard.
• Extremely easy to use product so building content takes little time, and I can leverage other subject matter experts to build content as well.

Incentivized

• Learner Search: This will be highly valuable for our team especially because our staff do not only use Litmos to take courses but equally use it to search for content that they need to do their jobs in the moment. Users should be able to search using keywords to easily locate specific content.
• Knowledge Base Feature: In addition to the search function above, some of our content we find can be better organized in knowledge bases for easy access. If Litmos has a knowledge base feature, it would help us have all our learning content in one place.
• Module Copying Feature: The current module copying feature allow us to make copies of module copies from another course but which are still linked to and affected by changes in the original course. It will be useful to be able to copy courses/modules and make them entirely independent of the original course.
• Creating Instances of Library Courses: We find that for Litmos courses, it is hard to assign different compliance due dates to separate user groups. It might be useful to be able to create copies of the Litmos courses on the platform so that we can apply different compliance dates for separate teams or groups of users.

• MindTickle should allow users to bookmark key videos and if this feature is already implemented, it should have a better way of finding how to be able to select this function.
• Some answers in MindTickle are duplicates. While this is probably an error on the setup team, being able to put the exact same response should not be allowed.

Incentivized

• Media import (audio, video) are still in infancy. Reliability of uploaded content isn't 100%.
• The Events function lacks some features that are more built out in other platforms.
• Reporting interface has a bit of a learning curve, but overall isn't bad.

For what we need in the very near future, Litmos does not offer us the required capability. Ideally, we are looking for an integrated LMS, coaching, mobile support and content creation platform. Litmos may have the LMS part covered but there are other platforms that do this better along with providing an integrated all-in-one service or at the very least support API integration with other vendors to meet our requirements.

Worried about its acquisition by Seismic and hope that they don't change the product or the terms drastically.

Litmos is reliable, stable, and easy to use. Support is amazing, with great response times and customer success managers. I've implemented Litmos in 3 organizations and am working with another one currently. The features and functionality Litmos offers rival those of any other LMS out there.

Incentivized

The platform is very easy to use, and for new users is very easy to get familiar with. This is great, as it makes it easy to get through all the materials you need. For people who have been with the organisation longer, it is easy to find new material to strengthen their skills and develop themselves.

Incentivized

It's completely simple and intuitive, anyone can pick it up. The hardest part is looking for a save button and finally figuring out you don't need one. We don't provide training for users and never have complaints. For creators, we provide best practices, but using Lessonly itself requires nothing .

Incentivized

It is extremely rare for Litmos to be "down", and maintenance windows are always communicated well in advance.

Incentivized

Litmos is rather quick and responsive for our learners. Reports can be a tad slow depending on the amount of information you are querying.

If I could give it a negative rating I would. Worst support from any program I have had. Everything is back and forth in the support ticket. The one time I tried to chat they could not support the question. Their support page is so full of sections and products I can never find anything I need, even with a customized home page. I was hopeful that once they left SAP support might improve but it has not. I don't even know who my account executive is. Nobody has ever reached out to me. I need someone to guide me through best practices for our company and there is nobody to do that.

Incentivized

I guess it would be great. I have not needed to utilize the customer support team since I have been using the MindTickle platform. I would say that a good thing. But on the flip side, I am just one user. I would imagine people who are actually putting in the content deal with customer support more regularly for any issues on how the product is operating.

Incentivized

The support team is very friendly and eager to help you learn the ins and outs of Lessonly. They can set up training for large groups or send links in a chat for individual help. They are quick to respond and if one person doesn't have the answer, they will collaborate with others to help find the answer.

It was a good overview of the platform, but of course it was more of a basic overview of how to use the platform. The team provided a good training, but I would of liked a better deep dive into some of the features.

Incentivized

Some of the best online training I've taken from any LMS platform. It was well put together and kept me engaged the entire time. It has a good amount of HR Compliance mixed with soft skills training that the team liked. Overall, it has a robust online suite of training that any company can use.

Incentivized

The company received a change in learning style from the old to this newer style. From our perspective, it was just a case of swapping out the scores and adjusting the language. The initial show-and-tell about the library we could use and how to use the materials was instrumental. From the learner's perspective, it was all very self-explanatory.

Incentivized

I made a choice of this tool because of great review message on internet about the advantage of litmos. Also as cost is concerned I saw it to be favourable to me more than other which are Abit expensive. Litmos also have intuitive user interface which made me to fall for it.

Incentivized

When compared to Highspot, I found Mindtickle to be much easier to navigate. The UI is way cleaner and intuitve. The capabilties are relatviely the same. Overall I certaily prefer Mindtickle. The one thing I will give to Highspot is that their analytic capabilities (especially in the library) are more robust.

Incentivized

I felt some of these products had more features than were necessary and needed for our team. Some of them were limited on the number of content creators that were allowed which to me forces you to use one or two people to create content where I would rather see it done by key members of each department.

Incentivized

Overall we find that Litmos' capability to organize folks by "Teams" is adequate for our needs... though there are some limitations, especially when it comes to supervisory staff being able to assign content to their employees. It would be nice for hierarchal assignments to be possible (directors being able to assign content to their direct reports... AND those under them).

• For one of our product lines, what used to require 8-10 onboarding calls now only needs two and we are aiming to get that down to just one or potentially none. Customers can learn on demand using the courses we have constructed for them and continue their learning live with trainers.
• By hosting all of our training in one place, we have made onboarding much more straightforward for employees — they can learn the product (same training we give customers) and also get their InfoSec and other training in one place.

Incentivized

• I'm not in a position to know the specifics, but I will guess the three biggest impacts. One positive has been that MindTickle has kept us sales reps up to date and able to talk about all of the products. I'm sure that these trainings have led to better pipeline numbers.
• MindTickle has had a positive impact on diversity and cultural training as well, as more people are learning and open to learn.

Incentivized

• We've had an increase in quality overall as a company, as we are able to continually train our employees outside of our New Hire Training program.
• We've seen stronger communication as we are able to send out material to our stylists about products, policies, procedures, etc. and they are able to provide us with feedback. After all, it is their tool for learning and we want to know the best way to provide that information to our Team Members.
