Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Lessonly is currently used only in our department, but other departments plan on using Lessonly as well.
We use Lessonly for a few purposes:
1. Onboarding process
2. Knowledge retention
3. Teaching new technologies at work

I use Lessonly both to create content and as an end-user. Every person in our department was assigned to create a few lessons. Those lessons are primarily for the onboarding process but also used by all of us to refresh our memory about processes that we don't use often.

Pros and Cons

Easy to use.
Good customer support.

I would like to have an option to disable the "rate" window after each lesson completed.

Support Rating

Support is very easy to reach, friendly and gives fast responses.

Alternatives Considered

Coursera

I haven't used other products like Lessonly!

Other Software Used

Atlassian JIRA Align (formerly AgileCraft), G Suite, WordPress

Likelihood to Recommend

Perfect for the onboarding process. The knowledge is standardized and does not depend on the personal knowledge of the person that is teaching you. There is no need to waste work hours teaching others, you can learn at your own pace, and the knowledge is there for anyone who needs it, whenever they need it.
Also, unlike in other methods of onboarding like studying from reading slides, Lessonly allows you to actively study with quizzes. The progress in the onboarding process can be monitored.
I personally didn't do my onboarding with Lessonly as we still didn't have it, but from my conversations with co-workers who did go through this process, they find it very convenient.

Great platform to create onboarding process
