Skilljar Customer Education Software vs. Trainual

Skilljar is well suited to self-paced courses that need to be accessed by users in any location at any time. It hosts a variety of content that adult learners can use to upskill in the areas that are relevant to them. While you can host live virtual events through the platform, it is not ideal for situations where regular student interactions or instructor facilitation is needed, as there is not a discussion forum feature.

We have offices set around the world, and hiring new team members in certain countries makes it a bit difficult, especially now to fly out or fly in to help get them situated and fully trained. This really helps close the gaps in between the distance and training. Makes onboarding a heck of a lot easier.

• The design is simple. If you're looking for a complex or beautiful platform, this isn't it. However, Skilljar makes things very easy to follow and build within.
• Navigating Skilljar is very logical. it is easy to set up a new course and navigate within that course.

• Tracks progress for training.
• Easily determines a new hires competency in handling tasks on their own.
• Houses all of our documents and videos in one location versus several.

• We've had one particular outstanding ticket for quite some time now
• There are some features that require custom code--it would be nice if this was a built-in functionality
• More flexibility to make widespread changes. Sometimes we have to go into every single course to make a change

• The subject organization could use work! It's just jumbled and needs folders.
• It's very cumbersome to have to click back and forth to subjects when you are within a task. I wish there was a larger side bar that could show ALL subjects, topics, and tasks in one glance with drop-down menus.

I like what you are using and how we are doing it. Also, changing systems is a lot of work

I think it's great overall; so many things are easy to use. However, there is room for improvement. Navigating can be confusing at times - especially when it comes to domains, theming, live event courses and where certain settings live and what you can and can't do from each page

I’m fairly experienced with LMS’ and don’t usually require help or support on topics. The CSM team is quite good overall however more than often time between meetings and solutions (at least from my experience) can take time. Regardless, the team has been helpful and answers all questions - or comes back with an emailed solution

During the entire sales process, the Trainual team was great to work with. After the sale, their onboard process was top notch as well and was very quick to answer any questions and actually were open to customizing the platform to meet our specific needs. They have been great this entire time.

Do a good job of preparing your internal teams (IT, Salesforce, etc.) about the work they will have in the process

Compared to other LMS it has great features, plus a faster learning curve and is very easy to manage. Other platforms could be cheaper but are pretty limited, and others have way to much features that we were not going to use and with a very high cost, so complex that the company even would need a specific lms manager, something that we don't have atm

• This is our first time using anything like this!
• Previously we just wrote task items in shared Google documents. It was the best of what we could do at the time, but this is a whole different world, and we love it! Being able to integrate quizzes and photos and interactive video is excellent!

• 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.

• Saves time for the team for training
• The fact that everything is in one location is really good!
• Allows us to edit and change and adjust as the business does
• Keeps us flexible and not cemented to a way of doing things
