    We did not thoroughly research additional L&D platforms. We were sold on Lessonly because of their willingness to go the extra mile for our team.

    Chose Seismic Learning
    Lessonly is all around a better fit. Their user-interface is easier to use to create content, they provide access to better tools, and had a much better implementation process. With LearnCore especially, if the content wasn't video-based, it didn't work very well. This led …

    This was the fourth LMS evaluation and purchase in my career. I've purchased LMSes in a variety of settings, including a K-12 school, a couple of small high growth companies, and a division of one of the largest technology companies in the world. When it came time to purchase …

    Seismic
    If you are onboarding new employees or consultants and you have a complex product, solution, or your business is layered and complex, this can help distill down the layers into basics so that new team or partners can build their knowledge base up the right way. This ensures they are learning what needs to be learned, and not what they surmise or assume, which can be incorrect and cause issues down the road - this is especially sensitive in our field. Training of all kinds can be done easily with this tool.

    It is great for perfecting sales skills and ramping up new talent via a library of videos. It is also great for creating sales competitions. This gets everyone engaged on the specific exercise that the firm is looking to educate its employees on

    Pros
    Seismic
    • 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
    Seismic
    • Media import (audio, video) are still in infancy. Reliability of uploaded content isn't 100%.
    • The Events function lacks some features that are more built out in other platforms.
    • Reporting interface has a bit of a learning curve, but overall isn't bad.

    • LearnCore has lost videos that I have had my reps record. This is absolutely not acceptable.
    • A couple months ago, you could not assign one employee to a specific exercise. You had a create a group.
    • The platform is not as intuitive as one would think. Setting up an exercise is somewhat annoying.

    Usability
    Seismic
    It's completely simple and intuitive, anyone can pick it up. The hardest part is looking for a save button and finally figuring out you don't need one. We don't provide training for users and never have complaints. For creators, we provide best practices, but using Lessonly itself requires nothing .

    The support team is very friendly and eager to help you learn the ins and outs of Lessonly. They can set up training for large groups or send links in a chat for individual help. They are quick to respond and if one person doesn't have the answer, they will collaborate with others to help find the answer.

    I felt some of these products had more features than were necessary and needed for our team. Some of them were limited on the number of content creators that were allowed which to me forces you to use one or two people to create content where I would rather see it done by key members of each department.

    Return on Investment
    Seismic
    • We've had an increase in quality overall as a company, as we are able to continually train our employees outside of our New Hire Training program.
    • We've seen stronger communication as we are able to send out material to our stylists about products, policies, procedures, etc. and they are able to provide us with feedback. After all, it is their tool for learning and we want to know the best way to provide that information to our Team Members.
