Lessonly is a learning management system (LMS). The vendor emphasizes eLearning for client-facing skills, as well as a drag-and-drop interface.

Belén AlemánThirdLove is a big fan of Lessonly!2019-08-20T21:22:42.279ZWe use Lessonly across all departments here at ThirdLove (HR, Quality, Update announcement), but it is used most in customer service training. We train new hires when they first join the team, for the next three weeks, until they graduate from training. Once a tenured agent, they go through policy update lessons, product refreshes, and service up-trainings via Lessonly.,Versatility. We can use for it darn near anything in any department across the company.
Easy editing. You can change/update something on the fly no problem.

The Lessonly university is basically a tool store to use at your disposal. It has a lot of great information.,Bugs. When there are some and we alert Lessonly, they reply with the problem will be fixed, but then no follow up on if or when?

First, we use it to onboard new users and teach them about our policies. Secondly, we use it to make them subject matter experts in things like HIPAA and the health insurance industry. Third, we use it to enable our sales and client-facing organization on what we're building in the product and how to communicate it to our users.,It's extremely easy to build lessons with little to no training. It has a very usable UI. This creates a low barrier to entry for those who want to teach their coworkers something.
It's administratively easy to assign lessons, send reminders, grade them, and check their progress.

Onboarding new employees: Every new employee that comes on board uses Lessonly to learn about the company and our industry. There is a lot to learn in the first month of employment, and Lessonly provides an easy way for us to disseminate that information. Training employees as industry experts: Many of our employees go through our Expert Certification Program, which certifies them as field experts. This includes a series of around 15 hour-long lessons, each accompanied by a quiz, and then a final exam. This process ensures our employees are fully equipped to serve our customers. Members of R&D, Marketing, Product, Customer Success go through this course in Lessonly.,Lessonly is really easy to use. The UI is friendly, and anyone can build lessons that flow well and look beautiful.
Lessonly's support is second to none. With any questions, they're quick to respond and help resolve.
Lessonly solves a real problem. Onboarding and training can be difficult, but Lessonly provides a platform that makes it so that any employee can easily create and deliver effective training materials.,Lessonly could make the dashboard a bit more customizable and branded per company.
Lessonly could provide learning reports because the state often gives incentives for training.
Lessonly could make it so that you can better customize notifications. I get a lot of emails because I'm an admin.,10,Money saved on state tax incentives
Increase in productivity
Increase in employee knowledge,10Lindsey TodLessonly Review from a Technology Trainer2019-08-01T14:57:32.554ZLessonly is being used across our whole organization. We use it for HR, Accounting, Operations, and even Marketing. It is super easy to use and very user-friendly from the learner's perspective. It really helped with our training needs with updates to our software that we use, instead of sending emails (that no one reads) we can create a lesson with a quiz to determine if they understood the change.,Has lots of options to add to the lessons - images, videos, etc.
The reporting is really great - helpful to know who has fallen behind on the lessons.
The feedback that we are able to get from learners is awesome.,Font colors is a feature I'd love to be able to see.
Having the ability to save filters in the content page would be great, since I am an admin I see everyone's materials and I have to click "my content" every time. Would be nice if it just saved to my content and then if I want to see others, I have the option.
Would love the ability to just see one lesson rating instead of having to view them all.,10,I think we've had an increase in employee productivity because they are learning it in a better way.
Decrease in employee turnover rate - with the fact that they now think we have a better training system.,10,,Salesforce Lightning Platform, QuickBooks Desktop EnterpriseSydney YoscovitsDo Better Work with Lessonly!2019-08-05T18:52:09.962ZWe use Lessonly to enable all of our Sales, Success, and Professional Services users, which makes up about 1/3 of our entire organization. We use it for onboarding of those roles as well as ongoing enablement and certifications.,Lessonly is so easy to user, anyone can create a course.
Lessonly has great practice elements, which is wonderful for hands-on learning.

It is our internal training tool. We have online lessons on both internal training as well as industry background in general. We also use Lessonly as a repository of educational information.,Remote learning. It is really easy to access the material online.
Ease of use. A user can really quickly figure out how to use Lessonly. There is almost no learning curve.
Integration with other software tools, such as Slack.,A learner can not print the material in an easy-to-read way.
A lot of its tools are geared towards sales people.,9,Our company has no metrics on that. However, we noticed an improvement in the knowledge level of our employees as well as more consistency in the knowledge that our employees have.
Our employees are very satisfied that they have the material on lessonly readily available.,10Verified UserPerfect LMS for internal knowledge management2019-01-03T14:58:25.667ZWe are using Lesson.ly internally to streamline our onboarding process and improve ongoing employee training. We’ve implemented it across multiple departments. We also opted to leverage their practice scenarios user interface to expose new hires to real-world customer issues and measure their performance. This enables us to practice their responses for our “coaches” before interacting with real customers.,Lesson.ly has learner-focused content. Clean, easy to navigate training content with text, video, images, GIFs, interactivity and quizzing.
Their Lesson Builder tool makes creating content a breeze. We are able to add text, drag in images, link videos and create quizzes very quickly.
Reporting and insights with Lesson.ly are great. Admins have access to reports that track completion and scores, as well as monitoring engagement and user satisfaction. This helps us tailor our courses to our audience.
Learning paths help us ensure lessons are grouped in sequences that follow a logical order - so everyone is on a level playing field.,They have something called “ask the expert” which is designed to allow users to quickly ask for clarification for a training module if needed, but this logic was a little clunky and notifications were not built in.
The integrations are great overall but it would be nice if it integrated with more Regulatory systems like MasterControl.
The instant search logic was sometimes not very smart. It would be nice to include label filters for courses.,8,We have been able to quickly ramp up new hires, which saves us resources on internal training development.
We have been able to improve customer KPIs since we have improved the knowledge of our customer service agents. This reduces the issue resolution time, thereby saving resources.
Practice scenarios user interface allows us to coach new hires without having to put manual effort into it. The process is automated, and feedback can be delivered immediately.,Litmos, Bridge and Absorb Anywhere LMS,Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Zoom Video Webinar, Marketo, Slack, MasterControl Clinical Quality Management SystemKathleen MurrayLesson.ly, the Ultimate Sensei2018-04-26T20:14:13.190ZLesson.ly is being used by my company to provide an onboarding and training platform for our employees and customers. We use it in every department for new hires in addition to training on any new updates within our product to keep our team up to date on all information relevant to their team and role within the company. In addition to using it internally, we have set up an Academy in Lesson.ly to provide an interactive learning experience for users that want step by step lessons on workflows within our product.,Lesson.ly does a great job of providing a way for learners to self-certify and test their knowledge on the content of the lesson. Both via Flip cards that provide a quick question and response. Learners can try and guess or answer and then immediately check to see if they were correct. You can also institute graded tests with multiple choice or written answers to verify knowledge of the user.
Lesson.ly allows for both embedded video and image content which provides audiovisual learners to have a more effective and efficient learning experience. My favorite use of this feature was the inclusion of Gifs. Both to illustrate any simple concepts being taught and for the use of humor to keep the lessons from getting boring when going through several lessons in a row.
Lesson.ly also does a great job of providing structure to your lessons. Building boards or modules allows you to group lessons together. It provides a clear way for clients or employees to proceed to the next lesson upon the completion of their current lesson.,Navigating through finished lessons can be challenging especially if you have completed a large number of them.,9,Lesson.ly has helped save a ton of time in the onboarding process. A lot of valuable hours went towards providing on the job training and hands-on training of new employees. Now with that automated through Lesson.ly, it frees up the rest of our team to focus on their roles and expedites the time it takes to get new employees up to speed
Lesson.ly is helping us provide another way to connect and train customers. The full impact of this addition is still being calculated by our company, but it's awesome to have another way to service customers and provide content in a format that is meaningful to them.,Salesforce App Cloud, Zendesk, SlackDillon GoveFriendly and customizable learning software; easy to implement2018-10-12T18:42:54.757ZI used Lesson.ly at a previous organization to push out training to the entire company and to specific teams. Lesson.ly helps ensure that trainings are not just one off events, but are part of an ongoing and continuous process. Lesson.ly has sales enablement training tools that help it to directly impact company revenue. Lesson.ly was also great at allowing training responsibility to be distributed across the organization - other people can easily be in charge of creating and maintaining their training content and ensuring completion.,Lesson.ly is very user friendly, with intuitive design. I never had to train a team member to use the product - they instantly understood what they needed to do once they received a push notification in their email account.
The Lesson.ly team provides incredible customer service and are very responsive to needs. They have always responded quickly to my concerns.
The product works! Our employees have a better way to interact with training materials and to ensure that learning is a regular occurrence.,I would like to see the reporting/gradebook and administrative dashboards improve so I have better insight into the learning experience.,10,At the last organization where I implemented Lesson.ly, we decreased the amount of time it took to onboard our sales team - impacting our revenue in the right direction!

We use it for training and onboarding for new employees, as well as a way to provide information or reference points for employees. If employees need additional information about various departments, functions of our business, or certain processes/policies, they can utilize Lesson.ly as a reference point. Lesson.ly allows us to disseminate a lot of information to our employees in an organized, clear and concise manner.,Lesson.ly is a great training tool. Our new hires have the opportunity to review and reference a large amount of information about our organization quickly and easily.
Creating lesson.ly's is fairly easy. We have multiple members of our organization using Lesson.ly, and a large amount of training hasn't be required to get employees up to speed.
Our employees, no matter how long they have been with the organization, can access Lesson.ly at any time. Many of our employees use Lesson.ly as a reference tool for various aspects of our organization. Having a catalog of information at the ready is very helpful for our employees.
Lesson.ly allows leadership within our organization to provide feedback to everyone in an easily digestible way. We have created lesson.ly's to provide feedback after all-staff meetings and organizational surveys. Additionally, some of our departments use Lesson.ly to send out newsletter-like information.,This could just be user error, but Lesson.ly doesn't seem to allow for lessons utilizing different mediums. Not everyone absorbs information simply by reading, so having the opportunity to include video, links, etc. easily, would be best. More customization would be great!
Because of the different departments that use lesson.ly, the organization of the lesson.lys can be a little chaotic. It just seems the more you add, the more unorganized it feels.
Customer service friendly and attentive, but it doesn't feel like customer feedback is really being heard and/or implemented. It does not seem as though many changes have been made since we started using the software.
The overall look of the program is a bit boring/plain. It would be nice to be able to customize this!,6,Lesson.ly has had a positive impact on our training. It's allowed us to add additional learning opportunities and context to our hands-on activities.
Lesson.ly has had a positive impact on our ability to create reference tools for our employees to utilize regularly.

Lesson.ly allows for me as a manager to have an interactive way to set up training lessons for our customer success team. The ability to have lessons that include text and embedded video is great! We typically link out to our internal resources instead of updating in lesson.ly, that way we only need to update the materials in one place. We had just purchased Lesson.ly when I started and we've only built out more cool resources since!,A central hub to train and equip new reps at our company. Lesson.ly lets us standardize our training and gives our team a way to share training information in a reproducible way.
I've appreciated the quiz and certification abilities of Lesson.ly. It's flexible enough that you can have super in-depth quizzes, light quizzes or a simple signing of your name that you completed the certification. The versatility is nice and allows for me to keep my team accountable.
While Lesson.ly is great for new employee onboarding, it's also great for getting out new knowledge updates out to the team and making sure they are continuing in product education. If there's a product or process update, Lesson.ly is great for rolling that new information to the team!,Lesson.ly is pretty barebones in the realm of UI/UX. It's very much on the user to customize everything. The product isn't super pretty and sometimes feels like an early 2000s interface. It works though, so who cares right? Naw, I guess I care. A sexy product always feels better when using it. That's why people keep buying Apple products. Make it sleek!
I wish organization of assignments was a little cleaner. It kind of feels messy as square blocks. Would be cool to have them in folders or something to minimize scrolling.
I've found that a some of my employees find Lesson.lys boring. While some of that is the nature of the material that we put in, I believe a more interactive interface would serve the attention of my employees.,9,Lesson.ly allows for us to have just one training rep who preloads the material into the product. I imagine that we would have all the training resources as passed on verbal knowledge and Google Docs if we didn't have a product like Lesson.ly. We save money by not having to hire a bunch of reps to train people each time someone starts.
It's pretty efficient in terms of getting information out to people. You can assign a lesson.ly with a certification and you're pretty much set to go. No more sending follow-ups to people to complete lessons or assuming they read your training email!
Lesson.ly holds our team accountable for the knowledge that they have been asked to learn. This reduces the time that it takes to not only get information out to out team, but the quality of service our customers get when interacting with our educated reps!,Domo, Trello, Asana, OlarkTaylor HansenUnspecified

- Training employees as industry experts: Many of our employees go through our Expert Certification Program, which certifies them as field experts. This includes a series of around 15 hour-long lessons, each accompanied by a quiz, and then a final exam. This process ensures our employees are fully equipped to serve our customers. Members of R&D, Marketing, Product, Customer Success go through this course in Lessonly.
- Lessonly is really easy to use. The UI is friendly, and anyone can build lessons that flow well and look beautiful.
- Lessonly's support is second to none. With any questions, they're quick to respond and help resolve.
- Lessonly solves a real problem. Onboarding and training can be difficult, but Lessonly provides a platform that makes it so that any employee can easily create and deliver effective training materials.
- Lessonly could make the dashboard a bit more customizable and branded per company.
- Lessonly could provide learning reports because the state often gives incentives for training.
- Lessonly could make it so that you can better customize notifications. I get a lot of emails because I'm an admin.

Lessonly Review from a Technology Trainer
Lessonly is being used across our whole organization. We use it for HR, Accounting, Operations, and even Marketing. It is super easy to use and very user-friendly from the learner's perspective. It really helped with our training needs with updates to our software that we use, instead of sending emails (that no one reads) we can create a lesson with a quiz to determine if they understood the change.
- Has lots of options to add to the lessons - images, videos, etc.
- The reporting is really great - helpful to know who has fallen behind on the lessons.
- The feedback that we are able to get from learners is awesome.
- Font colors is a feature I'd love to be able to see.
- Having the ability to save filters in the content page would be great, since I am an admin I see everyone's materials and I have to click "my content" every time. Would be nice if it just saved to my content and then if I want to see others, I have the option.
- Would love the ability to just see one lesson rating instead of having to view them all.

Lessonly for Learning!
We had a huge onboarding issue and turned to Lessonly. We needed to streamline processes and best practices. I also needed to communicate with my growing team and know that they were digesting critical information. Lessonly helped disseminate information effectively and helped me better manage my team.
- Distribute information
- Easy to use lesson creation
- Knowledge database
- Expensive
- Easier access to other teams content
Lessonly is used across our entire organization. It is our internal training tool. We have online lessons on both internal training as well as industry background in general. We also use Lessonly as a repository of educational information.
- Remote learning. It is really easy to access the material online.
- Ease of use. A user can really quickly figure out how to use Lessonly. There is almost no learning curve.
- Integration with other software tools, such as Slack.
- A learner can not print the material in an easy-to-read way.
- A lot of its tools are geared towards sales people.

Perfect LMS for internal knowledge management
We are using Lesson.ly internally to streamline our onboarding process and improve ongoing employee training. We’ve implemented it across multiple departments. We also opted to leverage their practice scenarios user interface to expose new hires to real-world customer issues and measure their performance. This enables us to practice their responses for our “coaches” before interacting with real customers.
- Lesson.ly has learner-focused content. Clean, easy to navigate training content with text, video, images, GIFs, interactivity and quizzing.
- Their Lesson Builder tool makes creating content a breeze. We are able to add text, drag in images, link videos and create quizzes very quickly.
- Reporting and insights with Lesson.ly are great. Admins have access to reports that track completion and scores, as well as monitoring engagement and user satisfaction. This helps us tailor our courses to our audience.
- Learning paths help us ensure lessons are grouped in sequences that follow a logical order - so everyone is on a level playing field.
- They have something called “ask the expert” which is designed to allow users to quickly ask for clarification for a training module if needed, but this logic was a little clunky and notifications were not built in.
- The integrations are great overall but it would be nice if it integrated with more Regulatory systems like MasterControl.
- The instant search logic was sometimes not very smart. It would be nice to include label filters for courses.

Lesson.ly, the Ultimate Sensei
Lesson.ly is being used by my company to provide an onboarding and training platform for our employees and customers. We use it in every department for new hires in addition to training on any new updates within our product to keep our team up to date on all information relevant to their team and role within the company. In addition to using it internally, we have set up an Academy in Lesson.ly to provide an interactive learning experience for users that want step by step lessons on workflows within our product.
- Lesson.ly does a great job of providing a way for learners to self-certify and test their knowledge on the content of the lesson. Both via Flip cards that provide a quick question and response. Learners can try and guess or answer and then immediately check to see if they were correct. You can also institute graded tests with multiple choice or written answers to verify knowledge of the user.
- Lesson.ly allows for both embedded video and image content which provides audiovisual learners to have a more effective and efficient learning experience. My favorite use of this feature was the inclusion of Gifs. Both to illustrate any simple concepts being taught and for the use of humor to keep the lessons from getting boring when going through several lessons in a row.
- Lesson.ly also does a great job of providing structure to your lessons. Building boards or modules allows you to group lessons together. It provides a clear way for clients or employees to proceed to the next lesson upon the completion of their current lesson.
- Navigating through finished lessons can be challenging especially if you have completed a large number of them.

Friendly and customizable learning software; easy to implement
I used Lesson.ly at a previous organization to push out training to the entire company and to specific teams. Lesson.ly helps ensure that trainings are not just one off events, but are part of an ongoing and continuous process. Lesson.ly has sales enablement training tools that help it to directly impact company revenue. Lesson.ly was also great at allowing training responsibility to be distributed across the organization - other people can easily be in charge of creating and maintaining their training content and ensuring completion.
- Lesson.ly is very user friendly, with intuitive design. I never had to train a team member to use the product - they instantly understood what they needed to do once they received a push notification in their email account.
- The Lesson.ly team provides incredible customer service and are very responsive to needs. They have always responded quickly to my concerns.
- The product works! Our employees have a better way to interact with training materials and to ensure that learning is a regular occurrence.
- I would like to see the reporting/gradebook and administrative dashboards improve so I have better insight into the learning experience.

Great learning platform
We use Lesson.ly in our North American office and been using it for the last 2 years. It helps our local organization and all of its departments onboard new employees and bring them up to speed, as well as keep the current employees up to date with technology and company policies. It also helps us train them in a convenient manner.
- Content creation and management - easy to build and share paths and lessons, no training required. Easy access to insights library
- Exercise tracking - easy to assign tasks to people and monitor completion
- Feedback - easy to collect lesson feedback to further improve content
- It would be great to have a mobile app to learn on the go like Google Primer
- More editing options for lessons
- Content export / import into or from various file formats

Great training tool
Lesson.ly is a product used across our organization. We use it for training and onboarding for new employees, as well as a way to provide information or reference points for employees. If employees need additional information about various departments, functions of our business, or certain processes/policies, they can utilize Lesson.ly as a reference point. Lesson.ly allows us to disseminate a lot of information to our employees in an organized, clear and concise manner.
- Lesson.ly is a great training tool. Our new hires have the opportunity to review and reference a large amount of information about our organization quickly and easily.
- Creating lesson.ly's is fairly easy. We have multiple members of our organization using Lesson.ly, and a large amount of training hasn't be required to get employees up to speed.
- Our employees, no matter how long they have been with the organization, can access Lesson.ly at any time. Many of our employees use Lesson.ly as a reference tool for various aspects of our organization. Having a catalog of information at the ready is very helpful for our employees.
- Lesson.ly allows leadership within our organization to provide feedback to everyone in an easily digestible way. We have created lesson.ly's to provide feedback after all-staff meetings and organizational surveys. Additionally, some of our departments use Lesson.ly to send out newsletter-like information.
- This could just be user error, but Lesson.ly doesn't seem to allow for lessons utilizing different mediums. Not everyone absorbs information simply by reading, so having the opportunity to include video, links, etc. easily, would be best. More customization would be great!
- Because of the different departments that use lesson.ly, the organization of the lesson.lys can be a little chaotic. It just seems the more you add, the more unorganized it feels.
- Customer service friendly and attentive, but it doesn't feel like customer feedback is really being heard and/or implemented. It does not seem as though many changes have been made since we started using the software.
- The overall look of the program is a bit boring/plain. It would be nice to be able to customize this!

Lesson.ly helps us help our team!
Lesson.ly is being used by our company to onboard new employees at our company. Lesson.ly allows for me as a manager to have an interactive way to set up training lessons for our customer success team. The ability to have lessons that include text and embedded video is great! We typically link out to our internal resources instead of updating in lesson.ly, that way we only need to update the materials in one place. We had just purchased Lesson.ly when I started and we've only built out more cool resources since!
- A central hub to train and equip new reps at our company. Lesson.ly lets us standardize our training and gives our team a way to share training information in a reproducible way.
- I've appreciated the quiz and certification abilities of Lesson.ly. It's flexible enough that you can have super in-depth quizzes, light quizzes or a simple signing of your name that you completed the certification. The versatility is nice and allows for me to keep my team accountable.
- While Lesson.ly is great for new employee onboarding, it's also great for getting out new knowledge updates out to the team and making sure they are continuing in product education. If there's a product or process update, Lesson.ly is great for rolling that new information to the team!
- Lesson.ly is pretty barebones in the realm of UI/UX. It's very much on the user to customize everything. The product isn't super pretty and sometimes feels like an early 2000s interface. It works though, so who cares right? Naw, I guess I care. A sexy product always feels better when using it. That's why people keep buying Apple products. Make it sleek!
- I wish organization of assignments was a little cleaner. It kind of feels messy as square blocks. Would be cool to have them in folders or something to minimize scrolling.
- I've found that a some of my employees find Lesson.lys boring. While some of that is the nature of the material that we put in, I believe a more interactive interface would serve the attention of my employees.
