Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Lessonly is currently being used in the Operations department as a training tool for both new and current employees. Current employees create lessons about different aspects of the job, and this can be used by anyone else in operations as either a way to learn something new or brush up on existing knowledge. It helps us (as operations managers) cut down on the amount of our time it takes to train new employees, because prior to Lessonly all of this had to be taught 1:1.

Pros and Cons

Creating lessons
Checking on the progress of people taking lessons

Option to change text color without doing it through HTML
Paste screenshots directly into lessons

Return on Investment

Decrease in 1:1 training time
Increase in compilation of knowledge in one place

Support Rating

This isn't really relevant to me - the way it works in our company is that there are 2-3 liaisons who work directly with Lessonly, and the rest of us do not have contact with them. I have heard great things about it though!

Alternatives Considered

AspenONE Asset Performance Management (APM)

Again, not really relevant here. I haven't used other products, and wasn't part of the decision process in choosing Lessonly.

Other Software Used

Zendesk, Jira Software, Trello

Likelihood to Recommend

Very good for basic onboarding of employees, training, etc. If you're willing to put the time in, it can be a really comprehensive tool. It's less appropriate for training where the employee has a lot of questions to ask.
