User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
SkyPrep LMS is well-suited to organizations that do not currently utilize an LMS. The support provided from step one through implementation is excellent. SkyPrep LMS not only wants to help make an organization run more efficiently when it comes to upskilling employees and/or clients, they also want to learn from the needs of organizations in order to better serve all of their clients.

Currently, there are a lot of good things about the platform. Thought Industries I believe can do B2B, B2C, and Internal Training really well. The Panorama allows for segmentation of users and cohorts also provides great flexibility for whatever education business you are providing. It is more modern and sleek than a good amount of traditional LMSs that are used for K-12 or Higher Ed. Mobile and the lack of Phone or Chat Support is where they can greatly improve as other improvements are made based on user feedback and prioritized accordingly.

Pros
  • Building a class is super easy from pre-recorded powerpoints, videos
  • Assessment Building and Quizzes are user friendly
  • The reporting features for both internal and external use by clients is robust, but also controllable
  • Very extensive administrative features can be administered dependent on client/company needs

  • Ecommerce: The eCommerce options on Thought Industries are far better than any other LMS. You can sell subscriptions, one-time products, and even physical products.
  • Note-taking: The ability for users to take notes and journal is a key feature as a lot of our customers are teachers and they are learning the Bible and may want to go back and integrate their notes in other lessons.
  • The ability to handle video and audio is exceptional, especially how the video files can be stored in Wistia.
  • The panorama feature is helpful as we have many products that we white label and now, we can create courses for those customers as well.

Cons
  • Many of the features in the newly released "Studio" are difficult to understand
  • It would be great if I had more control of what data my dashboard contained
  • Need to streamline their email delivery system and offer fewer but richer features.

  • More integrations with data warehouses and data lakes (out of the box)

I say 9 instead of 10 not because of any lack of confidence in SkyPrep but only because I can't be sure how large or responsive my market -- male-friendly social workers and other helping professionals -- will be to my offerings.

Usability
SkyPrep LMS is very user-friendly. The platform isn't overwhelming when you log in (as some can be). Immediately upon logging in, the core features are right there, in an easy-to-access manner. This is really important so that users of all ages and experience feel confident in using. SkyPrep LMS also has customization capabilities so that you can modify your user's experience.

Our onboarding was awesome. Attentive, responsive, knowledgeable and very helpful in us getting our initial internal portal up and running. Support is typically pretty responsive to issues as they arise, although slow to correct an issue/problem unless it effects the overall function of the system

Alternatives Considered
All in all SkyPrep LMS offers everything you need to get up and running. This platform hits all of the checkboxes for most organizations needs. Pricing is very reasonable. It will not make online training prohibitively expensive, and they offer a number of different plans. The file storage is generous to allow creators to upload vast amounts of training material if needed.

We selected Thought Industries over these three competitors, even though Thought Industries was more expensive. Their partnership in scaling was better and their integrations were stronger.

Return on Investment
  • Previously we had a limited # of clients who paid for access to our LMS. SkyPrep LMS allows us to proudly charge for access to our LMS now. We expect to achieve our ROI in the next 12 - 34 months.
