    Additional DetailsWildsparq is priced annually by the number of people-leaders an organization licenses. There are two license types, and both are sold in the same leader-count tiers, from 12 leaders up to 100. Organizations licensing more than 100 leaders are quoted separately. Leader License — includes TeamIQ. Built for people-leaders who need the team intelligence, one-on-one, and coaching tools to run their teams. Leader + Development License — includes TeamIQ plus Guided Skills Development. Built for people-leaders who are also actively building their own leadership capability. Team Seats are included at no cost. Every licensed leader, on either license, receives free Team Seats for all of their direct reports. Team Seats provide a limited TeamIQ experience, so the leader's whole team participates in the same team maps, comparisons, and one-on-one workflow. Organizations pay only for leaders, never for the people they manage. A company licensing 30 leaders who each manage 8 people is paying for 30 seats while roughly 270 employees are active in the platform. Tiers scale with leader count. Both licenses move through the same increments as the number of licensed leaders grows, and the cost per leader decreases at each higher tier. Pricing is quoted annually against the tier that matches an organization's leader count.

    They have a large library - make sure you clearly study the library offerings and choose the courses that are best for you as you will never be able to use all of them. Make sure you survey your user base before purchasing the licensing of the library courses so the courses are 'marked' with an employee in mind to keep costs minimized. Only purchase the Books 24x7 if you have a large IT department - otherwise you might want to lease a smaller content portion. Their Leadership Development, Project Management, business series and critical thinking and technical products are exceptional.

    Pros
    Skillsoft
    • Covers a wide-breadth of topics ranging from desktop / office skills to communications skills to leadership development
    • Offers knowledge portals (Knowledge Centers) around specific topic areas such as Management Development, Six Sigma, Professional Foundations, Sales, etc - that aggregate content from the large Skillsoft resources and present it in a way that is both meaningful and relevant to the learners. Plus, they have editors update the featured topic each month.
    • Include a wide variety of learning media such as eLearning courses, books, book summaries and videos.

    Cons
    Skillsoft
    • The platform does have room to improve their response time for assistance. Depending on the issue an internal "help team may be required"
    • They removed what was called "knowledge centers" which could be summed up as an accumulation of books, courses, exams, practice exams, articles and basically any asset within the platform surrounded by a particular subject. This was a great benefit to some of our customer. It was a one-stop-shop but now you would need to search independently for all of those assets.
    • Because the platforms library can be customized its a bit of a struggle to have certain assets changed or modified within Skillsoft. You basically are on their time when it comes to updates or any major changes you as a customer would like to make.

    I would recommend to renew as this is part of our employee development goals and we make a strong commitment to develop employees' people skills. I think SkillSoft has a very innovative approach to develop people's interpersonal skills other than traditional classroom learning.

    Usability
    Skillsoft
    There are things that could be easier. Having a more customizable carousel that can rotate relevant content in and out on a regular basis would be nice. They could also make some of the video content more engaging. Some of it is pretty dull and people can lose interest pretty fast.

    Skillsoft
    Just that it takes a village. It cannot be done alone. Everyone needs to know what you are doing and what their role is in the implementation. Tightly managing the project management schedule and resources is important in ensuring that everything gets done on time, and with quality. Education is KEY

    We chose SkillSoft for the overall ease of use for both our users and our administrators and have a great value proposition. We have continued our contracts for the same reasons and the relationship we have built with our Learning Consultant and Account Representative.

    Return on Investment
    Skillsoft
    • The ability to have on-demand training saves money in not having to have an in-house trainer.
    • Employees can complete training on their own time (even at home), so if they need more time for a training, they can complete it on their own time.
