Litmos vs. Skillsoft

It is well suited for fast-paced businesses or ones that are less traditional with their learning delivery. We deal with live events, so the learning style is excellent for us as it is more vibrant. We have a workforce with a huge range of capabilities, and the e-learning on offer is proven to be universal.

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.

• Litmos is simple and straightforward for learners to use
• Litmos' look and feel are highly customizable through javascript and stylesheets
• Litmos' API is fairly easy to use and complete
• Litmos makes launching and deploying training in the field and the office easy and quick

Incentivized

• Practical in-depth presentations
• Exam questions do make you think
• Updated material
• Good selection for IT and product focused engineering professionals

• I generally feel that any challenges I experience are due to the vast flexibility the platform has. My gut tells me that my minor issues are actually a result of certain functionality needing to be there to meet the needs of other customers, and it's not Litmos' fault that my specific workflow doesn't fit exactly into their functionality. It's a matter of me determining how I can update my workflow to fit the feature set.

• Some of the courses are too lengthy.
• Too much courses makes confusing to choose the correct one.

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.

It's overall pretty straightforward to use — both for admins/creators and learners.

• Teams really give a great ability to decentralize management.
• Great content creation tools
• Integrated live sessions

A few wonky workflows persist, though:

• Reporting has some limitations (e.g., 30 day limit, ugh)
• Search is rough and we get reports that content can be difficult to find
• More granular admin/editing permissions would help

It's never been an issue. It's always good to go

Never had any type of performance issues for Litmos

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.

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.

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.

We have done two implementations. The first wasn't completed by me, but the second was. I had to do a lot of data migration across from the first system into the new instance. This was really time-consuming, and it would have been great to have had an option for someone else to have completed this for us. Learning about the tool has also been up to us, and whilst the content was good, it was also high level and broad, and then getting into the specifics of our setup was really just left to us to complete on our own and have a go. We got there, but probably could have been faster with some additional support from a consultant.

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.

[I selected Skillsoft Academy because it's] much easier to use and has relevant courses. I would like to give 4.5 stars to the course selection, delivery, content, and exams

Pretty easy to scale this LMS and can be deployed companywide in all departments for us. The team's function allows you build separate teams that can easily be assigned specific courses, so it makes it much easier to deploy

• With SAP Content in mind as well, it has significantly reduced our training costs
• In terms of user issues on the UI or misunderstanding of how the courses inherently operate, it has increased our Admin need
• It has increased compliance rates with the ability to auto email everyone and provide reporting to the leaders

• Helps to gain knowledge on particular topic.
