Considered Both Products
Adobe Learning Manager
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
I don't know that there's been another product. They were already using it like in beta or something when I started. So it predates my experience. I've been there for one year.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Even though we didn't get to utilize Captivate to its fullest potential, I have found nothing that comes close in comparison.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
It directly helps us with commerce.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
We have long used open source learning management platforms, such as Moodle. However, the "free" cost ends up being misleading, since the costs of installation, customization, and web hosting are often difficult to calculate. A SaaS scheme is more controllable and allows you to …
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Adobe Learning Manager stacked up very well against the other major LMS system we had considered, which was Vision by Grace Hill. Adobe offered a more dynamic, visual learning experience that Grace Hill could not. Grace Hill, however, was less costly and did offer similar …
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
In initial trailing the product we had experience with canvas LMS and Adobe Learning Manager stood out in terms of integration of the different connectors it was offering across the portfolio when trying to select the best and also making the learning easy for the internal …
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
The user experience of Adobe Learning Manager is more complete. I have no experience with other LMS software. However, some colleagues have clarified to me that Adobe Learning Management provides a more inclusive experience compared to similar software. The graphical interface …
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Adobe Learning Manager does provide an Intuitive user experience which is the most important thing for corporate learners. Centralized content management, sharing the content across groups, tracking the course progress, and the power of handling different types of course …
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
The free trial, the competitive price point, and the sales rep were the main determinators in choosing this software.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
360 keeps up the Adobe learning manager. It even outclasses it in certain parts, but with a huge stalwart tech giant like Adobe, it is hard to keep up. Many of the features are present, but there's always that final touch missing. And it is always trying to play catchup.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
One of my prior employers used SumTotal's LMS solution. It was extremely expensive to implement and required a great deal of customization. It was a lengthy implementation, and by comparison, Adobe Learning Manager was a breeze to set up and get up and running.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
In a lot of ways, ALM has a very different feel from other LMS's, and has more of an internal training feel than a class feel. I would definitely recommend this for skills and compliance training, it is less well suited to a classroom feel. For a licensing course, it has its …
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
It is one-stop solution for all LMS needs. To train the employee on a regular basis we need something reliable, and good reputation.
  1. The cost is effective as compared to other
  2. The UI and software stability is nice.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
There is no comparison. ALM is in a class all by itself.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
We chose it to replace Absorb. I think it’s better overall and has more features.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Adobe Learning Manager is more business focused than Canvas and Blackboard. It is also more user friendly than SuccessFactors and Cornerstone. iSpring is the only other LMS that is comparable.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Rippling is mostly an HRIS that now has an LMS component. It's truly meant for one-a-year compliance training as learners cannot return to the courses and review them unless they are re-assigned. It has good features like automatic enrollment, but it doesn't give us the ability …
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
I prefer Adobe Learning Manager to Cornerstone OnDemand as the latter is mostly focused on performance management and does not support the needs of small and medium businesses.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Creating content has been easier in articulate.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Comparable, but Adobe Learning Manager is double the price.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
Adobe Captivate Prime is on par with the other LMS products that I have used.
Chose Adobe Learning Manager
We considered Absorb LMS and Saba Cloud but found that Adobe Captivate Prime had better service and support but was also easier to integrate and deploy with our other services. The fact that we had a team member familiar with the platform also made it easy for us to pick Adobe …

I've let them know about the unique features of certain of our places. The same rules apply even if the site is set up in an unconventional way. As a result, everything may be tailored to the user's specific requirements. Due to their proficiency, several of these places are …

HotSchedules Train powered by Schoox simply dominates any other product on the market.
Chose Schoox
Hotschedules Train compares to blackboard because I am able to track everything a whole lot easier. It also allows me to input all kinds of documents instead of strictly word or excel documents. I am able to upload personal videos as well as bring in videos from another source …
Chose Schoox
I am a CHART board member and learned about HotSchedules from their organization becoming involved in CHART. We work hard to support our vendors. We did not look at a lot of other options.
Chose Schoox
We use Pulse for tracking our daily targets, labor percentages, and cogs. You're not able to schedule, hire, or train employees with pulse but its really good a tracking daily sales and targets for multiple venues. With pulse I only need one account to view numbers and cogs for …
Chose Schoox
We selected Schoox for its simple design, ease of use and speed to which it can be implemented.
Chose Schoox
Schoox looks more like social media experience for our team vs. the survey monkey website.
Chose Schoox
We did a lot of research looking for the right LMS - Wisetail, Skillsoft, and Cornerstone. We selected Schoox because we already used HotSchedules in our organization and also because of its cost.
Chose Schoox
We reviewed and in some cases tested many other options for employee training. Some worked well for salaried employees but would require too much time to manage hourly employees, some had good platforms but could not easily merge with our current systems. We began using …
Chose Schoox
We did not use Wisetail, but we went through several weeks of training calls when we were deciding between that LMS and Schoox. We selected Schoox because of the integration with HotSchedules, something we already used, and the ongoing ease it would provide in shifting job …
Chose Schoox
We looked at multiple different platforms but because it's tied with HotSchedules, it allows us to keep everything under one umbrella and less logins. The customer service at Hot Schedules has also been instrumental in all of our decisions. Their team is awesome.
Chose Schoox
Schoox is part of a system that all the employees use quite often so it gets more results when we implement a new course.
Chose Schoox
Haven't used other products like HotSchedules.
Chose Schoox
An LMS being provided by an external vendor that was really about videos but weren't custom to our brand. HotSchedules Train powered by Schoox lets us customize everything so it is part of our brand and earns our new hire teammates' trust. We were already HotSchedule users and …
Chose Schoox
We used an in-house system. It was similar in many ways but allowed for easier access to the training.
Chose Schoox
Schoox is by far the best online trading aid I have used. The ability to wrap in with HotSchedules and the access to the information is great.
Chose Schoox
Train has great functionally and is easy to use, and its tie-in with HotSchedules made it a simple transition from Inquisiq. Inquisiq was a great tool for us at the time, but we grew out of it and Train was the most logical next step due to integration, pricing, and scaling.

It's good if you have a good use case for that feed. I do know that you have to incorporate it in a process in isolation. It's not you don't realize the full value, so you have to incorporate it into an overall improvement process. I would say the pro cases are marketing optimization with respect to campaigns. And I would say that the areas it's not well suited is in distilling attribution. So if you were to take all of the improvements that it suggested, the numbers exceed revenue, which isn't real, but that's a hard problem to solve. Nobody's really solved that problem well. So distilling the attribution piece would be good. And it is well suited for marketing campaigns in the ideation phase of so

We have special locations that work differently and I have recommended this to them. Even for locations set up differently, it still applies. Because everything can be personalized to fit the need of the user. These locations have become so adept at it that they have become admins themselves so they can implement their ideas immediately. I have yet to come across a scenario where this is not appropriate

Pros
  • Rich and engaging learning experiences that capture employees' attention.
  • Is multi-device capable so our teams can take classes where it's most convenient for them during the day, especially if they don't have an assigned static workstation?
  • Allows us to personalize compliance training based on where our employees are at in the organizational chart, competencies, and requirements.

  • Ease of use - this product is so easy to use! Building courses, curriculum, tracking, etc.
  • Tracking - we FINALLY have a way to track tests and completion of courses! An absolute LIFESAVER.
  • Accessibility - it seamlessly works on all platforms (iPads, computers, cell phones).

Cons
  • High initial set-up cost and licensing fees for all employees at one go
  • Once a courses been enrolled by employee, there's no function to remove those courses by themselves.
  • Mobile version not working very well and some contents not able to load, e.g. Leaderboard, Level.

  • Looking up an individual employee's progress on line is very simple and intuitive. But finding the right report for training is not and can take lots of time to find what you are looking for.
  • The mobile app needs to have more of the social features like the Leader Board and creating a new message.
  • We have 9 different concepts in our training academy, I would like to be able to restrict the courses and curricula to those that only apply to specific concepts. Similar to how the content can be assigned to different units.

It wasn't user friendly enough for me. I had a difficult time navigating it and didn't want to waste too much time trying to figure it all out. If it were more clear cut and to the point I think it would be more worthwhile for someone like me.

Usability
For shorter learning courses it is probably very capable and gets the job done very nicely. It can be engaging while keeping the users motivated with the gamification features. There are some technical challenges while doing longer courses. But they can be fixed with further updates to the platform and is a promising front.
Read full review
I rate it at a 7 because I think first and foremost the value outweighs any of the improvements I'd like to see. Consistency in message is king. I feel as though the verbiage used is often confusing, the interface could be more intuitive and the academy should be able to be more customizable for the brand

I think they have a competent, friendly and "resolving" team. I have only ever been met with a willingness to assist any and every query I have come across. Roy who is one of the technical people is amazing, and so is my Customer Success Manager, Hema! I do not know what I would do without them.

Trial period was great, and It let me plenty of time to try the different feature of the platform. However, when we decided to move forward, the ADOBE team was slow and not reactive at all. Actually after 2 years, I am still waiting for answers which is quite unacceptable.

Hotschedules Train compares to Blackboard because I am able to track everything a whole lot easier. It also allows me to input all kinds of documents instead of strictly word or excel documents. I am able to upload personal videos as well as bring in videos from another source (such as youtube). The reporting is simple and efficient through Schoox and I think overall the navigation is easier from a user and administrative standpoint.
