Likelihood to Recommend We have special locations that work differently and I have recommended this to them. Even for locations set up differently, it still applies. Because everything can be personalized to fit the need of the user. These locations have become so adept at it that they have become admins themselves so they can implement their ideas immediately. I have yet to come across a scenario where this is not appropriate
Read full review Skilljar is fantastic for structured onboarding processes. If you're looking to streamline and standardize the onboarding experience for your customers, especially for software or complex products, this platform is a gem. It allows you to create step-by-step courses guiding users through functionalities, reducing confusion and accelerating their learning curve.When you need versatility in content delivery, Skilljar is spot-on. Whether it's video tutorials, interactive quizzes, downloadable resources, or live webinars, the platform accommodates various formats. It's perfect for accommodating different learning styles and ensuring engagement.
For scenarios that demand highly complex simulations or immersive learning experiences, Skilljar's capabilities might fall short. While it supports interactive elements, extremely sophisticated simulations might require additional specialized software or platforms.
Read full review Pros Ease of use - this product is so easy to use! Building courses, curriculum, tracking, etc. Tracking - we FINALLY have a way to track tests and completion of courses! An absolute LIFESAVER. Accessibility - it seamlessly works on all platforms (iPads, computers, cell phones). Read full review Unlimited courses, learning paths, quizzes, pages, plans, and certifications Ease of use for students, administrators, and content creators Customer Success and Service are top notch. The CSMs are genuinely committed to helping you achieve your metrics and goals Asking for and listening to customer feedback for enhancements Developer Center where people with little to no coding experience can learn how to use and apply HTML templates and code snippets to customize your site Read full review Cons User accounts: HotSchedules Train has each user in the system by first and last name which is a great tool but this becomes a problem when you have more than one person in your company with the same first and last name. Maybe they should identify by email instead of name so accounts of users with the same name do not merge together. Copying Course or Test: Throughout the system you see the option to copy a course or a test but then the only place you can "paste" is within that same course or test. If I am creating two different courses or test that are similar it would be easy to use this function if it were designed a little better. Instead to "copy" a quiz you need to add all questions to a pool. In order to "copy" a course you would need to just create a new one from scratch. Read full review Would love to see parent/child courses so that when something is updated in the parent course that change is automatically reflected in the clones of that course. Features that allow for the translation of content to allow access to content across languages. Re-onboarding process when the usage of Skilljar changes hands within out company in order to address knowledge gaps.

Read full review Usability The training necessary for the managers and trainers is minimal. The system is very intuitive and HotSchedules customer support is the best support team I have ever dealt with. They are quick to respond and keep you informed through the whole process. As for new hires, you just put them in front of a tablet or computer and they just go. Our trainees have better retention and they much prefer to go through the training on-line then having to read pages of documents.
Read full review The learning curve for Skilljar is not too steep, and I've renewed our contract twice now. I've been able to add additional administrators and get them up to speed on platform functionality within a day. Plus, Skilljar provides awesome resources to help you learn how to use is. The Help Center has articles for almost everything, and when in doubt, their amazing CSMs (like ours, ...) provide exemplary support/advice.
Read full review Support Rating I have opened several support cases in the past and at times felt like little was being done to resolve the issues I was having. For example, when searching the use against a training credit, Skilljar said the code was fully used, yet only 1 had been used. The support team seemed to not have interest in learning why this was happening and ensuring it does not happen again. The issue was resolved with this particular case, but I have no idea if it was the only training credit having this issue. At times I feel like the issues we encounter do not seem as important to the support team
Read full review Implementation Rating Do a good job of preparing your internal teams (IT, Salesforce, etc.) about the work they will have in the process
Read full review Alternatives Considered We did not use Wisetail, but we went through several weeks of training calls when we were deciding between that LMS and Schoox. We selected Schoox because of the integration with HotSchedules, something we already used, and the ongoing ease it would provide in shifting job codes and new roles within the organization
Read full review Skilljar provides stronger customization features, more code snippet options, more styling tools, and more effective integrations. These include
Credly , Salesforce, and SCORM. Additionally, the catalog is all part of the same system, making it easy to manage. The analytics tools are also more robust, and the customer service is much more helpful and responsive
Read full review Return on Investment It has made it possible for all workers to take part in fruitful and efficient training. Referral and instruction provided by employers and coworkers. Every member of the team and trainer can access it at any given moment in time. Suitable for all training tests once again. Read full review Our customers seem to be getting onboarded efficiently. Giving our customers a good experience helps us retain them longer. So far, we are still not able to come up with solid metrics that it provides evidence of ROI. If Skilljar could somehow come up with clear, actionable metrics about customer success and how that relates to ROI then I think it would be vastly better. To be fair, we roll the cost of using Skilljar in the overall price, otherwise, we would charge customers and have a revenue stream to measure.
