BizLibrary Reviews

“Fantastic LMS Option

Pros

I love having such a wide range of videos to choose from for our team. It is the best for our mandatory safety sessions and there is always something entertaining thrown in too, which makes the process much smoother.

Cons

I am still trying to wrap my head around the whole teams, groups, etc., specifications.

“Long Time Content Subscriber

Pros

The course selection is top-notch and the Concierge service from BizLibrary makes finding materials a breeze for any training initiatives we have.

Cons

If there is one drawback, it is that in their efforts to keep materials updated. We've had key training lessons that we tie into our programs discontinued without new options, leading us to rewrite our programs.

“Great Resource

Pros

The resources here are endless, and they keep adding more, almost daily!

Cons

So far, I have not come across any cons.

“Unimpressed

Pros

Opting for this cost-effective solution gave us access to a rich library of courses, which was perfect for launching our new Learning Management System.

Cons

We had to meticulously review every course in the library to ensure they were professionally appropriate. Some courses contained unprofessional language, inappropriate examples, or even rude gestures. Additionally, some course content seemed outdated or very old.

“Large Content Library and Easy to Use

Pros

I find it beneficial that most content includes quizzes with score requirements.

Cons

We need more trainings tailored for the Logistics/Transportation industry.

“Product Overview

Pros

The product's ease of use and the diverse range of courses make it a winner for us.

Cons

It is quite time-consuming to continually click 'next' to see additional names. Having a 'see all' option would make it easier.

“Great on-demand learning courses

Pros

I prefer the expert-led content with real people over cartoons for our training.

Cons

Right now, I can not think of any negatives. The implication and launch went smoothly.

“Customer Focus - The Differentiator

Pros

Our selection committee and I were impressed by the range of course modalities that cater to different generations and learning styles. The consistent media player and the post-implementation support further convinced us to go with BizLibrary.

Cons

I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the abundance of content available, making it challenging to choose between competing courses covering similar topics.

“Amazing LMS, Above-and-Beyond Customer Service

Pros

It simplifies assigning and tracking learning initiatives, compliance training, and professional development. Plus, their library keeps growing, and having our own branded learning portal is a slick feature.

Cons

While some features require an additional package and cost more, the BizLibrary Team can potentially develop 'nice to have' features in the future.

“BizLibrary

Pros

The user-friendly interface and the mix of canned and custom content are big pluses for us.

Cons

Sometimes, certain features can be a bit inconsistent or challenging to manage, especially when it comes to setting up learning initiatives to automatically renew or assign upon expiration.

“BizLibrary has been an asset to our organization

Pros

I really like the availability of video learning, especially the shorter formats that suit our busy schedules.

Cons

Getting our internal admins to fully utilize it was probably the most challenging aspect, but we're improving every year.

“Software Review

Pros

The ability to export content seamlessly to an external LMS is invaluable for us. The course catalogs are easy to navigate, and the promotional support helps engage users. Plus, the new playbooks and paths are fantastic additions.

Cons

The inability to modify or remove tests is a concern. Some tests are overly detailed and difficult, while our goal is to maintain user engagement with optional training through a high-level understanding.

“Affordable, yet powerful LMS with great content

Pros

We have been with BizLibrary for over 14 years, and what keeps us hooked is their continuous improvement in user experience and the quality of content. Uploading custom content and tracking user progress is a breeze with their LMS.

Cons

Reporting and some administrative features have their strengths, but some aspects are not as intuitive as expected.

“Relevant Content delivered seamlessly for today's learners

Pros

Putting together curated content and tracking completions has never been easier. I especially love the branded content and how BizLibrary keeps upgrading with relevant content and robust administration features.

Cons

From our perspective, the only improvement needed is integration with our HRIS system. While we haven't explored this option, having all employee self-service functions in one place would be beneficial, although it is not a deal-breaker.

“BizLibrary is a great place to start for LMS content

Pros

The wide course selection, affordable pricing, and the flexibility of their representatives in meeting our unique needs are what sold us.

Cons

Some courses appear outdated, lacking a consistent look and feel. Also, while reviewing courses, I found a couple that were inappropriate for our somewhat conservative culture.

“Engaging Your Employees through Development

Pros

It empowers employees in various ways and has transformed our approach to training. The ability to customize learning paths based on competencies is a game-changer, and the gradual rollout of courses ensures effective learning.

Cons

I wish the library contained more topics focusing on our specific industry, such as the mortgage industry.

“BizLibrary Content Provider Review

Pros

Finding content either through search or requesting it via the content concierge is a breeze.

Cons

the content can be outdated, but the feedback process is effective, and they strive to provide updated courses.

“BizLibrary is a great ROI and a must have!!

Pros

The overall ease of use and course administration, coupled with the guidance from BizLibrary's subject matter experts, make our program smooth sailing.

Cons

Although the reporting options are excellent, I feel they could be more customizable. While many users find the reports useful, I wish there was more flexibility to create ad hoc queries to tailor KPIs to our organization's needs.

“Well worth the cost!

Pros

BizLibrary's software streamlines training administration and allows learners to tailor their learning paths, which is invaluable for us.

Cons

the multitude of functions and ways to use them can be overwhelming, but once you invest time in learning the system, it becomes impressive.

“Depends on the Biz

Pros

The LMS provided by BizLibrary is user-friendly, and the tracking/reporting features are excellent for monitoring progress.

Cons

I'd like to see more learning options tailored to specific industry topics, as there are plenty of excellent general trainings.

“Extremely Customer Focused

Pros

it has been a reliable partner, and we are excited about our future collaboration. Transitioning to their direct platform is expected to enhance our learners' experience, and their customer-focused approach has been commendable.

Cons

The certification support feels somewhat limited. I believe there's room for improvement, particularly in offering a more comprehensive curriculum for certification journeys rather than just aligning courses to a curriculum.

“Engaging, Unstuffy, Fun Video Learning

Pros

our curated content felt cold and impersonal, but BizLibrary's content strikes the right balance with a more relaxed and relatable tone.

Cons

Some videos feature the speaker standing off to the side of a PowerPoint slide or green screen, which looks poorly executed, and the lecture style doesn't resonate well with our users.

“Fantastic Company Providing a Fantastic Product

Pros

This software is incredibly user-friendly for both administrators and users, and with the assistance of the BizLibrary Onboarding Team, implementation was a breeze.

Cons

Uploading videos through Paycom's Learning Interface can be time-consuming, especially for multi-lesson courses. However, this is more of a Paycom issue than a BizLibrary problem.

“Clunky Admin Experience

Pros

The rating system within the LMS and the responsive support team are highlights for me. Plus, the interface is visually pleasing.

Cons

Content quality varies from video to video, requiring thorough vetting also the administrative interface is clunky, with multiple page reloads/clicks to access important settings, display bugs, and confusing terminology that does not match conventions of other systems, leading to ambiguity in administrative capabilities.

“Fantastic Course Library and Customer Service

Pros

BizLibrary's extensive course library caters to everyone in our organization, and their commitment to refreshing content regularly is admirable. The support from my Client Success Manager has been exceptional, fostering a great partnership.

Cons

There is nothing I dislike. Extracting and loading content into our LMS is easy.

“Review

Pros

There's alot of content available for both managers/supervisors and employees, and the registration process has been streamlined with recent updates.

Cons

In certain views, accessing the rest of the roster or employee list requires multiple clicks, which is inconvenient. A one-click expansion option would be preferable.

“Platform

Pros

I appreciate the abundance of content options and the responsive support team.

Cons

The platform can be unstable at times, with odd glitches during login and common instances where a new user remains logged in as the previous user. This occurs approximately 75% of the time when logging in as a new user. Other issues include system hang-ups, requiring cache clearance or page refresh.

“Great Software!

Pros

As both a learner and a moderator, I find this software easy to use with minimal issues.

Cons

It is frustrating that there is no way to remove courses that have been started but not finished. Some courses remain in my unfinished folder despite knowing I would not complete them.

Pros

From both an administrator and user standpoint, the platform's ease of use and vast content variety perfectly align with our L&D needs.

Cons

It is challenging to find something I don't like, but if I have to, it is the times when my ideas or concerns are deemed "not on the roadmap." However, most of my ideas are embraced, with about 80% being implemented, while the remaining 20% are not prioritized.

Moving deactivated learners from teams and making them inactive could be made easier.

As an admin at our company, I have firsthand experienced the inadequacies of the LMS tools. The interface is unintuitive, overly complex, and fails to provide necessary information efficiently.

“BizLibrary - Content for Training

Pros

Their selection of content, both from their own designers and third-party sources, is fantastic. Courses are appropriately sized and timed, and the user interface is excellent.

I can't complain much; a wider content selection would be fantastic, though it is impossible to cater to everyone perfectly.

The library is massive and addresses numerous training needs. Finding and using videos and tools is a breeze, which is particularly beneficial in our evolving learning environment. Both managers and employees find it easy to apply for in-person and group training sessions.

Some video collections are not globally suitable, requiring extra vetting from our team. However, we quickly identified preferred options. The regular retirement of courses poses challenges for incorporating them into long-term programs.

“Fantastic !!!

Pros

BizzLibrary has dramatically increased our office efficiency since we started using it.

Cons

My experience with BizzLibrary has been overwhelmingly positive. Despite not being tech-savvy, it took me about a day to get the hang of it, while most of my colleagues mastered it within two hours.

“One of the best softwares around

Pros

Not all courses are available in SCORM, and AICC compatibility is not as seamless, impacting integration with our LMS.

“Great option for online training

Pros

The range of options is impressive, from short, to-the-point micro-learning to longer, more in-depth courses. Its mobile support is especially valuable for field personnel.

Cons

The only drawback for my organization is its web-based nature. Having micro-learning available for downtime in the field would be beneficial, but connectivity issues due to remote locations are inevitable given our line of work.

“Review

Pros

Let me emphasize that BizLibrary has nothing but pros; it offers excellent training courses that I strongly recommend to anyone.

Cons

Honestly, I can not find any cons; it is a fantastic software that is easy to learn.

“Great Content

Pros

The content is highly relevant for today's world, with videos providing insightful information without becoming dull. The presenters are fantastic.

Cons

I enjoy most aspects of the videos. Occasionally, some can be dull, but that is more due to the subject matter than production quality.

“This is a great software offering a large amount of training opportunities to our staff

Pros

We have a dedicated account rep who genuinely cares about maximizing the value of their services for us. The ability to set up workflows and assign training videos to staff members, making them mandatory with set deadlines, is a huge plus. We've integrated a video series into our new manager training program and received positive feedback.

Cons

We had a manager inquire about uploading our own training videos under our employer account for staff review, a feature not currently available but would be a valuable addition.

“Many changes, all for the better.

Pros

The quantity of training courses is immense and continually expanding. The platform aims to seamlessly integrate training into a company's culture while ensuring regulatory compliance. The online chat support is user-friendly and offers quick, spot-on assistance. Quick tutorial videos, especially for software like MS Excel, cater well to medium to advanced users, providing specific solutions without the need to navigate through lengthy sessions.

Cons

The platform underwent changes two years ago, leading to confusion among admin users as old features persisted alongside new ones. Support expectations for extensive system exploration are unrealistic for busy users relying on third-party vendors. Pricing increases prompted renegotiation for truncated services.

“Great content, LMS needs a little work

Pros

The content is outstanding, with over 7,000 courses covering a wide range of topics. Adding and tracking courses through the LMS is effortless.

Cons

Some LMS features are not fully functional yet, like setting course recurrences or registering for instructor-led training. Nevertheless, it is a solid system overall.
