Overall Satisfaction with Wisetail LMS

The Wisetail LMS is used across our entire company as our primary learning platform, as well as a hub to access other software services such as payroll and benefits. We also utilize it as a communication platform to get information across a wide variety of topics to our employees. It acts as a force multiplier for us to get training into the hands of our front-line staff without the need for them to all be in one place at one time.

Pros

  • Customer service.
  • User community.

Cons

  • Keeping promises -- they consistently miss deadlines.
  • Staying current with other LMS platforms in the industry.
  • We've been able to eliminate costly live events in lieu of live webcasts. The recordings of those are hosted on our Wisetail platform.
  • The 4.0 platform has a significant administrative burden that is only partially fixed in 5.0.
Last. Dead last. We selected Wisetail years ago when it was cutting edge. It's had very little development since then, and has sadly fallen to the back of the pack. It's unfortunate, since they have such a great staff. Promises to fix this have repeatedly been made and broken. There is a large client exodus from this platform taking place.
Excellent staff and customer service.

Do you think Wisetail LMS delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with Wisetail LMS's feature set?

No

Did Wisetail LMS live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Wisetail LMS go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Wisetail LMS again?

No

Even their newest 5.0 upgrade only puts their technology capabilities at the back of the pack compared to other major LMS' in the marketplace. That said, their customer service team is very good, and they have a good company culture. If you are a very small company that wants a decent LMS, this is a good product to look at.
