“Essential M365 Learning Hub”
Pros
What I love the most is the on-demand training content and it's so convenient. Also, it keeps everything updated automatically, so I never have to worry about outdated materials and their support team was amazing during implementation and strategy development.
Cons
Working with the newer version has come with some technical challenges. While the IT support team is really helpful, we still face occasional disruptions that slow things down.

“Comprehensive Business Training Solution”
Pros
The support team is awesome! They genuinely care about your success and give you great help with setup, plus suggestions to improve communication and engagement. The training is easy to follow and the workflows are tailored to fit each user's skills and knowledge.
Cons
The latest version is still being developed and we've run into a few issues during the transition. They definitely listen to feedback and work on changes but it does take some time to see them implemented. Overall, the new interface is much better than the old one.

“Simple and effective micro learning”
Pros
The Microsoft integration is spot on and I love how the courses feel like a "choose-your-own-adventure" experience. The tutorials and e-learning modules change based on what you pick as you go through them. Learners can easily head to their dashboard for assigned content or they can explore using search and discovery features. Support is quick to respond when issues pop up and I've noticed they often update things based on customer feedback. Our account manager has been awesome, friendly, patient and helpful.
Cons
The admin interface can get confusing with all the layers when trying to manage content, assign permissions or check visibility settings. Their licensing structure is also a pain to figure out. The way they replicate assigned users per-pack is confusing and it doesn't work well across content for active users, so you don't get the return you expect. If you give someone access to content, it consumes a license even if they never log in. There's also no way to see exactly what users are experiencing, so you have to create workarounds in some cases to mimic what they might encounter.
