You will be happy with the product, product support and service level provided.
Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost. Our organization has been using Grovo for 2 months. Reporting had a few bugs – nothing major. No,…

While LinkedIn Learning is strong overall, there are a few areas where it could improve to make the experience even better. More interactive learning would be beneficial. Adding live sessions or discussion forums for real-time interaction with instructors and peers could make learning more engaging. Currently, all the courses are recorded, and nothing is happening live. There should be something more interesting that could help with better engagement if there were live sessions. Better customization for organizations would also help. While learning paths exist, more tailored options for specific industries could be beneficial. The content needs to be a bit more localized, with more regional-specific examples and case studies to make courses feel relevant globally. For example, even though I am sitting in the UK and doing a course in the UK, most of the examples are related to the United States or other regions. Different markets have different scenarios and challenges, so it is hard to correlate. One of the main things LinkedIn Learning could improve is adding live sessions. Currently, everything on LinkedIn Learning is recorded, and nothing is happening live. I think this has an engagement effect. Sometimes when I am doing training or completing a course, the recordings are from 2020 or 2021, which is a bit old. A lot has changed in three to four years. Interactive features such as live question-and-answer sessions, hands-on projects, deeper analytics, and better integration with tools such as Microsoft or project management could make it a ten. Some of the data needs to be updated more frequently. There are some courses that, for example, in project management or negotiation, which are fields that evolve every day, but a few of the courses are from 2022 or 2021 and have not been updated. More updates are required as time is moving and we are moving toward more artificial intelligence.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I appreciate the flexibility that the new Instructor Led Training offers, and visual graphics for tracking users, etc."
"Distributing quiz content alongside video and ability to upload documents are the most valuable features."
"Customer Service: AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. It's a huge reason why we decided to go with Grovo."
"Valuable features are customizable learning tracks, and single sign on."
"Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us."
"The interactive quizzes from LinkedIn Learning have helped reinforce the learning outcome significantly, and I walked around afterwards going, 'Yeah, I got that, I understand that,' so my depth of knowledge increased, and I think the key thing about the quizzes is that they reinforce what my listening was with regards to the content."
"In particular the UX course has really helped my skill set and I am directly using those skills in my role as a Community Manager on the Cisco Learning Network each and every day."
"LinkedIn Learning is a perfect platform to provide me with this immediate quick access; I listen to something, research it for an hour, do all the material, and understand that subject to apply it straight away in my workforce."
"Mainly the videos were very illustrative."
"One of the things I love about LinkedIn Learning and how I use it with clients is the flexibility of how to customize the recommendations so clients can get the most learning."
"The user interface of LinkedIn Learning platform is great and the visuals are of phenomenal quality; they are professionally done, and I find it very rich."
"I appreciated the fact that there were a number of courses already curated for me to create this learning path and to ultimately earn the LinkedIn Learning certificate in this area."
"The most valuable feature of LinkedIn Learning is that it's a platform directing everyone with different expertise, so to make a platform that really can work for different people of different expertise to direct specific users is something I always appreciate about LinkedIn Learning."
 

Cons

"Bulk video upload is a must."
"I look forward to the capability of putting materials in folders by category...as currently the long list of modules is daunting."
"I think a lot of the things agreed on or promised in the initial sales discussion are proving to be more difficult or do not work the way we understood them to now that we are in set up mode."
"Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost."
"Grouping and assigning trainings. Also, would like another admin layer built into the product."
"I often found myself having to go back and rewatch lessons or redo quizzes that I had already completed because it had not updated or successfully saved my work and progress in the course."
"During the training, I struggled with the exercises that required self-completion and verification of answers."
"iOS and Android apps need to go through a lot of improvement to match the web experience."
"One of the main things LinkedIn Learning could improve is adding live sessions. Currently, everything on LinkedIn Learning is recorded, and nothing is happening live."
"For certain things, I go to Udemy and pay for courses separately because I cannot find such courses on LinkedIn Learning."
"Sometimes the courses felt staid and rigid, and it is only one format."
"Maybe a pause in the course to give the audience the opportunity to work a little bit more with the exercise files would be an improvement in LinkedIn Learning."
"I don't like how the interactive quizzes in LinkedIn Learning are structured because many courses require you to pass the quizzes to move to the next one."
