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,…

Clear instructions and effective learning with room for market reach and language expansion
Regarding areas of Skillsoft that I would like to see improved or enhanced in the future, the platform is already very good and nice. If Skillsoft is launching its platform worldwide, they should be language specific. While I can understand English, if someone does not understand it, they should have tutors for their regions as well, so they can develop more certification programs in languages understood by the majority of people. I rate it a seven because they are missing two points: they do not have much market reach, and it should be more convenient in local languages of nations as they are approaching the worldwide area. Similar to how Netflix has multiple channel swapping options, if Skillsoft is training worldwide, they need to have the option for language selection.

"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."
"What I appreciate best about Skillsoft is how the class is structured, including how everything is organized - the courses, videos, and then the test at the end."
"When I was introduced to Skillsoft, I gained many skills and obtained my Microsoft Azure certification, which helped me secure a position as a Cloud Engineer at Sutherland."
"The platform is user-friendly and very easy to use; we don't need any training or coaching to use the platform, and by nature, it's easy to navigate through it."
"The course has given me tools and key points which help me stay focused during boring tasks, from daily job deadlines, I have to complete work in the given time framework, take small breaks between jobs, and reward and motivate myself with whatever I enjoy most so that I can complete tasks by the deadline."

Cons

"Grouping and assigning trainings. Also, would like another admin layer built into the product."
"Bulk video upload is a must."
"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."
"I look forward to the capability of putting materials in folders by category...as currently the long list of modules is daunting."
"Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost."
"It is providing numerous content library courses. However, it is not giving us hands-on experience training where we are getting practical related material, instead of theory related material."

"The quality of the courses could be better."
"I prefer Coursera more than Skillsoft because Coursera has a specific market approach that is better than Skillsoft."
"Skillsoft is already good, but I would appreciate more visual content."
