Auzmor Learn vs. LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com)

Overall Auzmor Learn works well handling the basic Learning Management Systems needs for OSHA general industry (1910) where employees are in an office, business or industry setting and stay or return to their workplace frequently. Most us a desktop computer to do their training. In the construction industry 90% of employees are in the field nearly 100% of the time. As a specialty contractor that falls under the OSHA standard (1926) Auzmor has listened to my concerns and challenges and has begun to address them by customizing features.

• When they were acquired by LinkedIn, the next invoice barely noted the invoice was for Lynda.com. I at first thought it was a phishing attempt using LinkedIn as a front.
• The invoice should be from the lynda.com domain and NOT from LinkedIn.
• Account administrators should be able to change passwords, and see passwords, for the license entities they manage. Also, all email notices to users should be duplicated to account administrators.

From a functionality standpoint the software continues to meet the requirements we had set for the LMS we chose to implement. The addition of new features has increased the likelihood we will continue to use Auzmor Learn. As long as the usability of the software meets the needs of our learners we would not have a reason to look at other options

The platform is very easy to use and navigate, the content is clearly itemised via the Contents section and the video playback speed can be adjusted. It's also useful to have optional captions (I always use them) and a transcript for accessibility purposes.

Excellent customer support. They work with you to set up the courses, tell you industry best practices, and a good way for structuring courses. Whatever additional features are needed, can be discussed at length with the Auzmor Learn team and they are very open to solve and add these to their product backlog for future updates.

The technical team behind LinkedIn Learning (or Lynda.com) knows their job, and they usually solve problems very quickly. While I haven't had many run-ins with them (thus the low rating), I do find that when we call them, the problem gets resolved in a reasonable amount of time. The flip-side of this comment is that we never have needed to call them with a high-priority issue.

There are a lot of LMS options out there and it was quite daunting trying to see how everyone compared and differentiated themselves. While they all may have been able to provide the LMS functionality we would eventually need, Auzmor stood out in the conversations we had based on functionality, pricing and support. It was not just an LMS product, but a partnership we were getting to make sure we would have everything we would initially need and also for where we wanted our training to be for years to come.

Udemy for Business is a crapshoot. The consistency is non-existent. Some courses go incredibly deep, while other courses don't go deep enough. Even when we got a few free months of access to Udemy - I still couldn't find why I would use Udemy over LinkedIn Learning. Pluralsight is superior to LinkedIn Learning in programming/coding. They have a better library of content and more tests. What Pluralsight lacks is for non-developer skillsets. Buy Pluralsight for your devs. Coursera is not at all an option for the business environment. It follows the college model of delivering content slowly and without reason. Its focus is more on high-level possibilities, not real-world things you want to solve.

• I can't think of a negative impact that Lynda.com has when it relates to the extensive library of training software that is available to subscribers. I'm lucky that my job provides a free subscription for instructors. I use Lynda.com to hone in on my technical skills.
