amazing training delivery

Pros

One thing I really like is that they're clearly committed to improving the platform. The move to a more frequent update schedule makes it feel like they genuinely support their users and keep working to make the system better. Overall it's simple thoughtfully designed and practical to use. It works very well for rolling out training across the whole company or targeting specific departments when needed.

Cons

My biggest frustration is that certain features cannot be customized at the individual learner level. Some settings are locked in and applied only at the course or curriculum level which can feel limiting. Having more flexibility to adjust those settings for each learner would make the platform much more useful.

Easy rollout for compliance training

Pros

It is simple to use and rolling it out didn't take much time. Also it is very easy to train other people on how to use the platform. We were able to plug it into our training workflow quickly which has helped us stay on top of compliance requirements.

Cons

Some courses feel too similar so when you're limited to adding only 100 classes to the system, you can end up using two of those spots on classes that cover nearly the same topic.
