HR Coordinator Gambling & Casinos Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Skillport - Needs updating " October 23, 2018 3.0 The customer service is good. Everyone is super friendly and responsive. Overall experience is..have to work with it because this is what we have now so better make the most of it. If i was making the decision i would not recommend - I would suggest a newer product. Pros I like the user interface for this software. For employees, it is relatively easy to use and follow all of the required and optional training they need to complete. Cons The admin side of the software is extremely convoluted and dated. It is hard to keep the back end organised based on how the system is set up - this makes it very challenging to manage a large employee base. The reporting functionality is very limited. Often the same report will produce different results and it is challenging to pull accurate data. I would go with one of Skillsoft's updated softwares Review Source JS Jessica S. Customer Experience Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Skillsoft" October 20, 2023 4.0 Skillsoft is ok - I would recommend it to someone just starting out Pros We use skillsoft alongside percipio to be able to assist with learning and development the courses readily available are adequate and there is the option to add your own courses Cons Its quite difficult to add your own courses and it doesnt have some of the features that other L&D sites have. Doesnt have great reporting. Review Source AM Aidah M.

Pros The IT content is very detailed and works for some people. This is the only content that I found to be relevant and useful. Cons The experience I've had with Skillport (content delivered by Skillsoft) has not met my needs. I've come across some very lengthy courses that were at least 60 minutes in length. By the time I get to 10-15 minutes, my attention is elsewhere. I didn't feel like it was very engaging or interactive. I felt like it was just information given to me.

Pros I like that we could complete training asynchronously at our own pace, both at the desk and on the go (via mobile access) and that the learning pathways were a guide to making the most of your coursework by achieving a cohesive learning objective. Cons Adding/removing courses was a little tricky, the deadlines were hard to change Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Conference Services Manager Facilities Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love SkillSoft" April 17, 2019 5.0 Pros SkillSoft has a vast amount of trainings with great content.

The mobile app is also very helpful for listening to audio books or learning on the go. Cons The way that our version is deployed, senior leaders cannot craft their own "channels" or learning paths.
