    Bridge is suited for scenarios where you need ppl to complete steps in order or test that they received the correct amount of knowledge after watching a video. I do think Bridge is less appropriate for companies that use it in external training scenarios as there is some key functionality missing. We gotten very good at brainstorming and finding solutions/ways to get Bridge to work the way that we need it to

    • Bridge is designed for the user so it is intuitive and easy to use.
    • Bridge includes an authoring tool so building custom content is fast and easy.
    • Bridge does a good job of providing user information for managers. Managers can quickly and easily see how many courses their reports are enrolled in and if anyone is overdue on required courses.

    Cons
    GetBridge LLC
    • Bridge could improve their categorization feature for trainings; folders would be great!
    • I'd like to see more ways to add content in the Bridge native environment in the future. Being able to create tables, infographics, and other training materials right in the system would be a great time saver.

    • Accelerate integrations and add more integrations.
    • Ally.io has room for improvement in providing benchmark in-depth analysis across industries, same-size companies, etc.
    • Ally.io can still improve upon some of its product features and communicating the releases. Videos have been extremely helpful.

    It has been very useful to our organization in getting compliance training complete. We have a 24/7/365 organization with some folks only working 2 days a week during the summer only, many work full-time jobs elsewhere and can't make weekday programs and facilities don't have to alter schedules to get mass numbers of people through training like you have to do with live training..

    Our previous LMS was Symphony. Hands down, there is no comparison. Switching to Bridge was the best decision made by our management team. All we used Symphony for was for our monthly compliance training. Many times people would complain that they would need to retake their compliance course as Symphony would lose records. It became a hassle having to retake a course because you didn't save a copy of the completion certificate. Bridge allows for more than just compliance training AND we are able to see if learners didn't complete their courses via the reports.

    Ally was preferred over the alternatives due to the following:
    • Quick turnaround by reps
    • Detailed product demo
    • Ease of use in comparison other tools
    • Clarity in terms of how Ally.io could resolve Crayon's existing issues

    Return on Investment

    • Certainly, Bridge was not an inexpensive option when we were reviewing platforms. To date, we have not seen a positive ROI but believe that will happen in the near future as we expand an offering of an additional program.
    • Reviews from our users indicate that they appreciate the professional and easy to use features Bridge provides, along with the video based design of the program.
    • The program we developed with the Bridge platform supports our position as educators in our industry.

    • AI co-pilot makes it easier to be more direct and less "wordy"
    • Teams is a great program and I like how it's seamless and more advanced when you want to convert a file type.
    • Tasks section is great way to keep track of lists that I constantly forget. Now I just use my computer to keep track of my "to-do list"
