Rise Up Reviews

“very smooth to use

Pros

I love how easy this is to use..the dashboard lets me track our training progress in real time which keeps everything on course. And the community feature is awesome for getting instant feedback from everyone making collaboration feel natural and immediate.

Cons

Every single Friday without fail the whole thing slows to a crawl or just bugs out because that's when everyone is logged in. It's incredibly frustrating.

“Powerful platform

Pros

What really stands out to me is how the tool empowers me as an administrator. While the interface is welcoming and easy for anyone to pick up.

Cons

I really need to be able to export way more stuff like pulling detailed reports on training requests that come through the catalog.

“daily tool for all skill levels

Pros

Honestly it has become a powerful part of my daily routine. It works for beginners and pros alike and has all the perfect features I need.

Cons

The design definitely needs a facelift. On the dashboard I can't easily control which training a trainee sees first and honestly the layout is visually confusing for them and they can't really tell the difference between a simple training course and a full career path.

“Interactive dashboard so far

Pros

It's all about the smooth user experience. It just works and I feel like I can use all its functions without any problem.

Cons

There are just some random glitches here and there and certain elements are rigid and not very flexible to use.

“easy expert training setup

Pros

A few things really stand out for me. First setting up our experts to create training is easy and they only need a 45-minute course to get started. I also love that I can build e-learning modules right online without needing complicated tools like Articulate. If I ever have a question, the integrated chat support is super fast and efficient. And the best part? I set up a whole separate login page for our suppliers in under 10 minutes. Oh.... and the single sign-on works perfectly too.

Cons

automated reports and aggregated data are actually really rich which is great. If a specific report is missing I can create my own. The one thing I am waiting for is RiseUp to polish the final look and feel so I can forward these as ready-to-go quarterly or yearly PDFs. Also the connectors to SAP Talent Management and SalesForce are crucial and they are supposed to be integrated for our company this year and I'm really hoping that happens.

“works for us !!

Pros

I really don't have any negative feedback to offer because the tool simply works.

Cons

honestly I can't think of anything else to complain about so this feels hard to fill out!

“sleek and customizable design

Pros

Big fan of the platform's sleek design and how we could customize the colors to match our brand. As a learner, finding and taking a course is so simple. As a trainer, it's just as easy to create fun modules with videos and quizzes. Plus the training they offered for us trainers was a huge help.

Cons

Getting started was lil difficult. There are so many elements to configure that the implementation took our training team a really long time. But to be fair, I think we would have had the same issue with any other platform.

“meets core needs but exporting data and filters painful

Pros

It mostly does what we need it to. We can create online courses, set up custom certificates for when people finish and easily manage all our users by just uploading a new Excel file. It handles the big stuff perfectly.

Cons

exporting data is a pain...it's both complex and somehow incomplete. Another huge waste of time is that I can't duplicate configurations for certificates, documents or surveys (even though I can for emails). Also the filters really annoy me because there's no "everything except" option.

“easy to use and interactive

Pros

Well overall it's easy to use and looks great. The design is really interactive.

Cons

I do not have any negative points about the software itself.

“helpful learning path mapping and legal docs

Pros

Actually I appreciate how I can map out the learning paths for courses. After the initial setup it's super easy for both our learners and teachers to use. I also like that I can make legal documents available right there on the platform for everyone to access.

Cons

Customization is limited. I can't make multiple templates for legal documents and with training evaluation questionnaires I can't even introduce the questionnaire properly or add a "thank you" message at the end. Plus setting the whole tool up as an admin is way too complicated if you are not already an expert.

“trainees can access courses online

Pros

I love that my trainees can just access all their courses and videos online. It's helped us go completely paperless and ditch the USB keys which is a huge win for us.

Cons

My biggest issue is that I have no way of knowing if a user actually got their registration email. If I make a typo in an intern's email address I don't find out until it's too late. They never receive the summons and then they just don't show up.

“Reliable daily tool

Pros

It is really functional and just practical to use every single day. No complaints here.

Cons

When I am poking around on the admin side trying to find specific information it can feel a bit messy and disorganized.

“Learning made simple & creative

Pros

I am impressed by the huge variety of formats I can use when I am developing new training courses. It gives me a lot of creative freedom.

Cons

I had a hard time wrapping my head around how to use the tables and the whole concept of "intelligent rules" took me a while to figure out.

“Simple setup with powerful features

Pros

Finally a product that just makes sense! It was easy to figure out, simple to set up and adding content is also very smooth. The smartphone app is also super handy for on-the-go access.

Cons

nothing major to complain about I just really wish we could also manage face-to-face training here.

“easy content creation!

Pros

Creating new content and training is so easy that anyone on our team can do it. I also love the modern, colorful and friendly design. Plus the built-in integration with Teams is a major advantage for us.

Cons

I am looking forward to the catalog update...they are revamping the visual side of it to make searching and reading easier.

“employees find it easy and use it

Pros

my employees find it very easy to use which means they actually use it. That's the main thing for me.

Cons

there's a constant stream of updates because features are missing and honestly I'm starting to get lost in all the changes.

“nice design with helpful chat bot

Pros

I like the design but what stands out most is the chat bot. It's great knowing there are real people available to help whenever I get "blocked" or have a question.

Cons

Fully customizing this platform is way harder than it should be. For example, creating quizzes is a pain because there aren't enough options and the final result just doesn't look good especially compared to something like Wooclap.

“powerful and reasonably priced but questionnaire options limited

Pros

it's the perfect mix of powerful features and simplicity. I love that I can customize our evaluation questionnaires and it's all at a reasonable price. The deep integration with Teams, the dedicated mobile app and the ability to manage French legal documents are all huge pluses for me.

Cons

There are so many little things I can't do: I can't choose my own response scales in evaluation questionnaires and I can't ask dynamic questions about learning objectives. Also that extra fee for the Teams integration are excessive. What I'd really love is to be able to use both billing methods (licenses and tokens) at the same time since we have employees on licenses and external customers on tokens.

“fluid experience for admins and learners

Pros

What really stands out to me is how fluid and easy everything is. Whether I am working as the Administrator or logging in as a learner, the experience is consistently smooth.

Cons

I need more features to fine-tune course assignments. Also the homepage is not as readable as it could be for instance I can't create folders to group content together. The thumbnails look great but they take over the whole screen.

“clean interface and easy management

Pros

the highlights are definitely the simple, clean interface and how easy the whole platform is to manage and administer from the back end.

Cons

There are a handful of features I am just missing: certain exports some specific settings and working with the Datalab and data in general feels laggy and not very simple.
