Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have two main use cases with Thought Industries. First, is internal training for our employees. Second, is to provide continuing education for medical coders and billers. Thought Industries provides a single platform for us to do both, and customize each to their respective audiences. We also hope to eventually also build an additional site to provide on-demand training to our end-users.

Pros and Cons

Onboarding
Creating multiple individual, customizable, branded learning sites
Ease of creating courses natively in the platform

Lacks the ability to make courses required
Cannot pull a report for a course(s) to show who has not started the course
Cannot reset gamification or run specific gamification campaigns
Although SCORM compliant, SCORM courses often break or do not show as complete on the learner side even when the module is marked as complete on the back end

Return on Investment

Increased employee training

Support Rating

Our onboarding was awesome. Attentive, responsive, knowledgeable and very helpful in us getting our initial internal portal up and running. Support is typically pretty responsive to issues as they arise, although slow to correct an issue/problem unless it effects the overall function of the system.

Alternatives Considered

Absorb LMS, TalentLMS and Docebo Learning Suite

Thought industries allowed us to create multiple customized portals in the price point we needed.

Likelihood to Recommend

Thought Industries is geared towards organizations looking to monetize their content and learning sites and is a great platform for those use cases. They are not as strong when it comes to providing internal required compliance training, or support training for our application end-users. We have been promised for four years that the ability to require completion of a course(s) is coming, but it has been continuously pushed out on the road map to the point where it’s not talked about at all anymore.
