    It has solved the issue of having all employees having access to extra training so that they can improve their skills or build new skills. It is also cost efficient since it is not possible to send every employee to outside training's. It also has allowed my employees feel that I am here for them and wanting them to succeed which I do.

    Pros

    Skillsoft is a great product with a variety of topics one can learn on. It allows you to build up your skills and resume with the variety of courses one can take. It also has test one must pass to make sure that the material was learned from the course. Upon passing you are given a certificate of completion which is great to store and have on file in case ever asked. Its great that it shows all courses in your profile that you have completed and it allows you to save courses to do at a later date. this allows me to construct my own path of courses I want to take. It also has topics you would have never thought about which is great to learn off of and improve your skills whether you are already in s supervisors/managers position or striving to achieve a new position.

    Cons

    There is nothing that I dislike about skillsoft it is a pretty awesome tool for an organization.

    Good platform for technical eLearning, not the best admin functionality

    Reviewed on 2020/04/12

    Pros

    Skillsoft has certainly come a long way since the days of Skillport. Percipio is no doubt a sleeker user experience, and their content has received a much needed refresh. As an admin for eLearning now in several different organizations, I've always leaned more towards Skillsoft as a vendor when it comes to technical content (programming, IT, cert prep, etc.), although their soft skills catalog is also pretty decent.

    Cons

    As a platform, my main gripes are with the admin side. I've used other eLearning platforms in previous roles, and Skillsoft's admin interface is always the clunkiest. Terminology used is not always intuitive, and user and content management requires too many clicks.

    Great learning platform if you want to gain the knowledge in your job. I have been a constant user of this platform for over 15 years. My only complaint is the lack of having labs for certain aspects of courses, as you cannot understand the course without the ability to apply it.

    Pros

    This platform is great for being able to study IT concepts related to my career. I do a quick search and am able to find a few different options to study from.

    Cons

    Watching videos can only allow you to apply so much. This platform lacks labs to be able to test you on if you actually understand the material with labs. Easily able to memorize the questions given, and retake the tests to pass.

    Customer service was always very helpful and attentive when an issue arose. The system reporting was a little clunky and required a lot of v-look-ups of separate reports to get all the information we wanted in one, comprehensive report for our business units. Ended up going elsewhere where we could get more course selection and content for our money with more language options already existing.

    Pros

    If you purchase their content you receive their host platform for free which was nice, however we switched content providers that had some newer content, and more content for the price.

    Cons

    Not a lot of language options currently although they're working on adding more. Most of the courses are pretty outdated but they've been working to upgrade them. Not a lot of content for the amount of money you pay.

    Pros

    The software is easy to use, understand and consistently quality checked. Their eLearning courses help us check a lot of regulatory boxes.

    Cons

    Pricing structure for the content itself is a bit robust with different courses falling under different categories and it often gets confusing but the support teams and account managers do a decent job of assisting.
