Seismic Learning - Valuable for what it provides

Rating: 6 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Seismic Learning helps us to effectively roll out new products, tools, and processes internally. We use Seismic Learning to create short training programs, as well as certificate programs to adhere to regulatory compliance. All of this is internal to our organization. We have heavily used Seismic Learning to familiarize users with a new system or product, and ensure that they comprehend the features before providing access to the new system or product itself using Seismic Learning's quiz -like features.

Pros

  • Ease of set up
  • Ability to easily restructure existing learning content
  • Customizability in how lessons are assigned

Cons

  • The UI of Seismic Learning is clunky at times, especially for content creators
  • Seismic Learning is missing an automated reminder feature
  • I'd like to see more "knowledge check" features that ensure comprehension of the material covered

Likelihood to Recommend

Seismic Learning is well suited for organizations that have a lot of people that may be creating training, and they want all of the training to be housed in a central system.

Seismic Learning is well equipped for beginners to use to create their own lessons. Seismic Learning doesn't have many features that help you capture your own screen, so creating software training isn't very straightforward.

Likelihood to Recommend

One of the scenarios that I experienced hence why I would recommend my colleague's to use Seismic Learning is that this very platform honed my skills in which affected my day to day process basis on the relevant workload that I'm doing at my work. Seismic Learning does pretty well on reminding you about your previous lessons and tasks.

Lessonly Makes Training a Breeze

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At first we needed a tool to help us with our more non-technical support staff for our cyber security (products) company. When we initially launched, our team of 25 was almost all technical and understood the importance of cyber security. When we hired more support staff, including sales, they did not necessarily have the technical background to understand the importance of "Zero Trust" and good cyber security hygiene. We needed tools to both explain our products without a shadow of a doubt to them so they are confident in what they're saying, but also for onboarding in general, without it coming across as us being 'paranoid' or over-bearing as it touched upon sensitive subjects such as what they did on social media. The Skills module was terrific for this. In addition, we ended up using it to train teams across countries about business culture and how they differed and how to respect each other's work habits in ways that didn't damage morale or productivity. This last item became even more paramount when we moved everyone remote. There are few software products that are such "nice to haves" and Lessonly tops that list for us. We use it with customer training, sales, onboarding new hires, and may expand this even further.

Pros

  • Training tracking
  • Building integrated lessons that don't feel like "training"
  • Able to build your own certificates (great for training and internal rewarding)
  • Can watch in real time - progress monitoring

Cons

  • Sometimes reviewing lessons is a pain, according to some of our employees
  • Search is not robust enough just yet
  • Want to provide feedback during the loop for future training - have to do it in a different file which breaks the flow
  • Couple of minor bugs - probably fixed by now

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are onboarding new employees or consultants and you have a complex product, solution, or your business is layered and complex, this can help distill down the layers into basics so that new team or partners can build their knowledge base up the right way. This ensures they are learning what needs to be learned, and not what they surmise or assume, which can be incorrect and cause issues down the road - this is especially sensitive in our field. Training of all kinds can be done easily with this tool.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Lessonly in our Member Services and Community Relations Departments.

Pros

  • Helped us put all of our policies and procedures online and available for our Reps so they could have access at their fingertips.
  • The many lessons that are available for our reps is unbelievable. They are always learning and taking lessons on their own in areas that they believe they need work in.
  • The support team that we have at Lessonly is amazing. The calls that we have with them are always productive. They are always looking for ways to make our lives easier so we can do better work.

Cons

  • It would be nice to be able to import a document and be able to search for that document or a word in the document. Currently you have to copy and paste in order to have the search functionality.

Likelihood to Recommend

Lessonly is well suited for any customer service team. Our team has so much they have to remember and we have so many policies and procedures. Lessonly has been a blessing for our team to be able to have everything they need in one place.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Lessonly from an HR and Sales training perspective to ensure that we have full transparency and accountability with our employees when we deploy something for them to work on.

This is my third company where Lessonly has been implemented and I would use it again and again.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It was offered as a benefit for general learning. Also, it is being used for training specific to our company.

Pros

  • Choice of lessons
  • Ease of use, not difficult to manage.
  • Credentials of the trainer.

Cons

  • Going back on a quiz is hard to navigate if it advances.
  • A lot of the lessons are formatted the same, not enough diversity to keep interest.
  • Being able to have an online note pad that you could cut and paste video or a way to tag the portion that you want to review again.

Likelihood to Recommend

I share relevant classes with my coworkers on a regular basis. I have given lessons as resources for coworkers to overcome scenarios that have been well received. I encourage my team and friends to check it out all the time. I would love to see more certificate programs offered in the future.
