it_user569589 - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Researcher at ProProfs at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
It provides advanced authoring, enterprise security, and workflow approval.
Before implementing ProProfs knowledgebase, my support team were constantly under pressure to meet client expectations. They would have to review and resolve some of the common problems time and again, which hampered their productivity immensely. After using the ProProfs knowledge management tool, customer tickets have gone down drastically (by almost 35%) and my support team have become more productive and less stressed.

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.

Pros

"After using the ProProfs knowledge management tool, customer tickets have gone down drastically (by almost 35%) and my support team have become more productive and less stressed."
"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."
"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."
"What I find best about Skillsoft is that it's easy to navigate and find program details."
"Customer Service: Their level of customer service was very good. Whenever we encountered issues they were very prompt and professional in their response."
"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 amount of courses on offer is great."
 

Cons

"It would be a good idea if an app version of this tool is available."
"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 only issues I truly have with it are signing issues. This is primarily because it has split sign-in credentials."
"Sometimes the system logs out in the middle of classes without any reason and asks me to log in again."
"The quality of the courses could be better."
"It would have been nice to have some more up to date content."
"Skillsoft is already good, but I would appreciate more visual content."
"I prefer Coursera more than Skillsoft because Coursera has a specific market approach that is better than Skillsoft."
