SilkRoad Performance vs. TalentCards

No, we just had a bad experience unfortunately.

TalentCards is very well suited for field based, hands on roles where people need quick access to information. For us, that means technicians who are mobile all day and need short training, refreshers, or job aids they can pull up on their phone right before or during a job. It works especially well for onboarding, SOPs, safety reminders, and knowledge reinforcement over time.
It is less appropriate for long form, deep training that requires extended focus, discussion, or complex assessments. If you need multi hour courses, heavy compliance training, or classroom style learning with facilitation and interaction, a traditional LMS or instructor led format is a better fit.

• Unfortunately our experience was very poor, so I don't have anything for what they do "particularly" well.

• Easy to Use
• Has both a Free Version and a Trial Version to test
• Great for teaching important steps when learning new material

• Transparency about the capabilities of their system. We would have never chosen WingSpan had we had a clear picture of the limitations of their system.
• Ease of use - as an administrator we found it to be difficult to work with. Of course, improvements may have been made in this area since we used it last.
• The user interface could use some updating.

• The AI functions could be smoother and more tailored to the brand.

The learner experience is excellent. Technicians can get into the mobile app quickly, navigate content easily, and find what they need without training. For a field workforce, that is where usability matters most, and TalentCards does that very well.
Admin usability is solid, but it is browser based, not app based. All content creation, user management, and reporting require a desktop or web browser. The interface itself is intuitive once you are there, but it is not something you can realistically manage from a phone.

We used Cvent following our WingSpan experience. It worked out much better and had more capability than WingSpan.

They don't compare, it is two different products, but Jira helps manage products and keeps a virtual to-do list. While TalentCards is something that can be added to Jira's list as a scheduled learning session. I haven't used any product close to TalentCards before. We were looking for different ways to learn together and this software really fit the bill.

• I feel it set us back a bit, and also caused us to lose credibility with our management team after it turned out to be a "failed experiment."
• We have gone back to a manual system of doing goal setting that works better for us.

• Easy to add info as it becomes available
• Great way to learn important info in small doses
• Perfect for small businesses
