Playvox is excellent for a team who knows exactly what they need in order to get better. You have full control to set your metrics, track the data and provide feedback. If you're a team looking for software that will create the solutions for you, look elsewhere. Playvox is a fantastic tool, but a terrible genie

Lessonly can be used anywhere a digital learning system works. We use a mix of hands-on training and curriculum. For training our photographers, they go through the lessons with a camera on the desk to test with and tangibly learn what they are reading. Same with our production teams, we have physical representations of the camera cards and order forms that they will be dealing with on a daily basis to help solidify the training they are receiving from Lessonly. It frees up our full-time staff to get prepared for the new season. Once the new hires are done with their assigned lessons, they are ready to start shadowing staff. All of the training and shadowing is done in one day and they are ready to hit the ground running on day two! Lessonly has greatly increased our productivity.

Pros
  • It's easy to start evaluating since it pulls up all the data automatically.
  • It is easy to generate reports as all the data is stored in its servers and we just download it.
  • Filters make it easy to see our Associates' areas of opportunity and strengths.

  • Open to feedback and ideas and constantly innovating and iterating on their product to serve new needs that arise
  • Making me feel like more than just a customer: They aren't transactional and focus on building the relationship and making me feel heard.
  • Extremely easy to use product so building content takes little time, and I can leverage other subject matter experts to build content as well.

Cons
  • The speed of loading the chat that I am evaluating for the customer service representative because sometimes it shows that there is an error in the load.
  • Keep a lot of information
  • It should have more languages for ease of control

  • When editing a reveal or flip card, the image and text are backwards. The text is on the top and the image is on the bottom when you are editing. But when you publish the lesson, they switch and the photo will be on the top and the text will be on the bottom.
  • Their customer service agents are incredibly friendly and helpful, it will just often be a while before someone is able to respond and assist you.

I do not think my organization has and 2nd thought of changing the Playvox because I am sure they cannot find another option that is as easy and smooth. There is no other option at all. Playvox is being used here in every department and the company cannot run without this. Now it is a basic need of this business

Worried about its acquisition by Seismic and hope that they don't change the product or the terms drastically.

Usability
Playvox is an easy-to-use platform, all features are intuitive, which makes navigation easy. I never found navigation problems, I was always able to find all the items I needed, all the information is well separated, what could improve is the possibility of moving some items, putting the ones that I use the most in evidence.

Extremely easy to use. I was up and running with my team almost instantly. Working at a small company, we didn't have a lot of dev/engineering resources. Having a tool like Lessonly helped me instantly export information to my team without any additional delay from internal departments

Performance
do pages load quickly? yes / Do reports complete in a reasonable time frame, given their complexity? yes i think / If Playvox integrates with any other software or systems, does it tend to slow them down? i don't know

We have had multiple live trainings (Zoom). The training at the beginning of the set up was top notch. We had some additional questions about coaching and they jumped on the opportunity to help us. We have a designated trainer and account manager.

This is one of the main reasons I keep going back to Lessonly. The customer service is some of the best I've ever experienced. From the sales process to the work with your customer success rep, Lessonly by far beats out the competitors in this area.

From the day first, we were active on Playvox and happy with the features. It does not take much time to understand its features and its performance. A few training sessions with 'How to use' and we are experts using Playvox.

Alternatives Considered
As far as my usage allows me to say, Scorebuddy did not open room for a dispute; in case the person evaluated does not agree with the rating she/he received, there is no possibility to document coaching and follow up on development or do the quiz for knowledge check. (I used Scorebuddy 2 years ago).

MindTickle was hated by our users - company switched to Lessonly before I arrived. Allego and Docebo both seem to have fundamentally different uses - mostly for hive-mind knowledge collection among salespeople, which may be helpful, but can't be scaled to the entire organization, and not suited to top-down training requirements. We may eventually purchase to supplement Lessonly, not replace it
