For fast and reliable lesson builders that anyone can learn, Lessonly is fantastic. We went from someone having to know basic HTML just to put a course up, to anyone who knows how to use a simple editor being able to take courses and assign them to their teams. We saved so much time and effort. In the case of customers wanting content, it becomes more tricky. There's not necessarily a good way to offer courses to people outside of your organization.

It is well suited for medium to large companies that manage different teams and need to communicate constantly and track progress in a timely manner. It is less suited for small enterprises as it will overwhelm users with the features and functionalities embedded.

Cons
Seismic
  • Reports can be a little tricky at first. It's not as "built out" as the other parts of the platform.
  • If you're wanting to sell or offer courses to people outside of your organization, this might not be the best software for you.

ServiceNow Customer Service Management has been in our organization for quiet a while now. We tried other solutions as well. But they were not as effective as as ServiceNow Customer Service Management, either they're not cost effective or they lack the features. ServiceNow Customer Service Management however, is a complete package it's soft effective and it comes with the features that suffice our business need. In a nutshell ServiceNow Customer Service Management is what we need!

Support has been very good. Any time there has been a real issue, the team has responded very quickly and identified the issue without a lot of repetitive questions that I've seen from other services. There is a great external community and internal knowledge base that covers pretty much anything you need.

I have not used other products like Lessonly Knowledge. So far every organization I have worked at has used Lessonly Knowledge. I believe that says it all, it seems as though every organization prioritizes purchasing this tool for their employees. This is a good sign! I don't see our organization using another any time soon.

ServiceNow Customer Service Management is much more configurable and "Enterprise-Ready", but doesn't work as well out of the box and doesn't guide you into deploying a service ready workflow.

  • The negative impact for my team is the delay in team completing tickets but not a system issue.
  • A positive impact for my team is we can easily view the status of tickets and the follow-up emails are beneficial to maintain records of tickets.
  • Negative impact is that there is no user job aid or helpful tools for new users.
