We evaluated 10-15 other LMS platforms. SkyPrep had the best price to feature ratio, as well as scalability. For a growing company, the price per user will only go down as we grow. Features are all what we were looking for, and the user management is simple.

We never used Brainshark because it was easier to communicate and have our needs met with SkyPrep LMS, but we do use Brainshark for other organizations, and it never seems as easy for me as SkyPrep LMS.

Chose SkyPrep LMS
Moodle is more complex than I could handle. Softchalk has a user's troubleshooting manual that would have overwhelmed my customers. ProProfs has a poor sense of design and branding.

Skilljar by GainsightSkyPrep LMS
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

SkyPrep LMS is well-suited to organizations that do not currently utilize an LMS. The support provided from step one through implementation is excellent. SkyPrep LMS not only wants to help make an organization run more efficiently when it comes to upskilling employees and/or clients, they also want to learn from the needs of organizations in order to better serve all of their clients.

I say 9 instead of 10 not because of any lack of confidence in SkyPrep but only because I can't be sure how large or responsive my market -- male-friendly social workers and other helping professionals -- will be to my offerings.

Usability
The overall usability is great as the software is very easy to learn and navigate. After just 1 week of "playing" around in the system I felt very comfortable using it and teaching others to use it as well. Customers have also mentioned Skilljar is a much better than out previous vendor

SkyPrep LMS is very user-friendly. The platform isn't overwhelming when you log in (as some can be). Immediately upon logging in, the core features are right there, in an easy-to-access manner. This is really important so that users of all ages and experience feel confident in using. SkyPrep LMS also has customization capabilities so that you can modify your user's experience.

The support team is great at Skilljar. Not perfect, but that can't be expected. Everyone I've worked with has been friendly, attentive, and fairly quick to respond/act. They also have a pretty sturdy set of Knowledge Base articles as well to self serve.
