Considered Both Products
Axonify
Chose Axonify
I like the way Axonify provides chunks of information to the learner by overwhelming them by dividing them into bite-size content. The learners don't have a lot of time to give to training, so Axonify has helped has provided just in time training to those teams. It's very much …
Chose Axonify
Each of the above has its use and I selected Axonify as it's a unique tool that is in its own segment. It meets the needs that other tools, LMS, or learning libraries do not.
Chose Axonify
Much more affordable and easily deployable. Great end-user experience using Axonify.
Chose Axonify
There are so many training platforms and increasing numbers of non LMS training platforms that it can be very difficult to figure out what is best for you. It's been a while since I did all the research that led me to Axonify, but below is a short summary of the pros and cons …
WizIQ LMS
Chose WizIQ LMS
I selected WizIQ because I used them when I subscribed for org.wiziq for nearly 10 years. It was firstly trusting in their technical support system in place and their new plug-in. Other products that are available for free or a nominal amount, e.g. Zoom and Google Meet are way …
Chose WizIQ LMS
Nothing yet. But I sure will switch to other software once this subscription ends.
Chose WizIQ LMS
We have also looked at Learncube, Braincert, and Blackboard and currently use Electalive. Only Electalive currently offers all the features we need, although reliability is sometimes a problem.
Chose WizIQ LMS
Here we found some of the basic features of an LMS application we like:

1. Creating a course in simple steps.
Chose WizIQ LMS
After our abysmal experience with WizIQ, I found Canvas Instructure. Honestly, have had a wonderful experience with Canvas--none of the problems that WizIQ had. Also, for the size/resources we need, Canvas is FREE.
Chose WizIQ LMS
  • Audio Quality - TalentLMS is better but now WizIQ's updated versions are improving quickly. Kudos to their team but still it is sometimes sluggish.
  • Low User base - WizIQ is all round.
  • High User base - nobody is perfect.
Chose WizIQ LMS
On pricing atlassian is much more cost effective, I used other free softwares that combined with atlassian would give me some of the functionality that WizIQ has, but having everything integrated is the best way to go.
Chose WizIQ LMS
Google Classroom works so much better than WizIQ. Communication is clearer and and it proved to be an effective medium of instruction for online learning. On top of that, it's free.
Chose WizIQ LMS
WizIQ Live Classroom is much lower quality than Skype, Wechat...No comparison. Poor quality. WizIQ is a scam
Chose WizIQ LMS
Have not tried any other product so far but intend to review some which allow easy creation and addition of online academies for a consultant like me. Yes the pricing factor is a major driver but one needs to check how to transfer/migrate and re-upload content and courses etc., …
Chose WizIQ LMS
There are more products available but I did not use anything other than WizIQ Online Academy Builder. So no comments but a user can always compare the quality and price before purchasing the WizIQ platform.
Chose WizIQ LMS
WizIQ is less expensive than Adobe Connect, comparable to RedBooth price-wise but better quality. Again, if I needed something more robust I might consider other options - but for what I need WizIQ has been perfect. It's a great product and a great value.
Chose WizIQ LMS

I used other similar software but prefer WizIQ Online Academy Builder because it’s really easy to use, especially for a live class. I recommend this software to beginner users (teachers or professionals). They will not feel frustrated when using WizIQ Online Academy Builder.

I …

Chose WizIQ LMS
ProProfs is quite good in terms of survey/test structures, but reporting is not very good. I have not used WizIQ Online Academy Builder too much for testing, so cannot compare.

User Testimonials
AxonifyWizIQ LMS
Likelihood to Recommend
Well-suited to the original purpose of delivering questions on a daily basis; everything beyond that gets complicated. For example, there are a number of program types available to deliver information (certifications, daily reinforcement, self-directed learning, assigned paths, etc.). However understanding how they all fit together requires advancing weaving together of multiple types of programs for individual groups, and requires more time than you would expect. Nearly 3 years into working with Axonify, we are still trying to iron it all out. We also have side groups of customers who meet to help each other because we all struggle with it too. We have a hard time helping our leaders and subject matter experts understand what is possible and what doesn't work well in the platform, since it is so different and doesn't work as expected. For example, communication to teams is one way - the recipients can't respond.

Mails from WizIQ Online Academy Builder very often land in spam, for our students/corporate trainees. While this may not be something WizIQ Online Academy Builder can do much about, it is a genuine issue since we need to keep resending mails till people manage to retrieve it from their spam folders.

Cons
  • Subjects and categories organization system can get a little confusing.
  • While there is support for mobile phones, there's not an easy way to test it on mobile devices without deploying it first.
  • Lots of options so it can get complex if you just need a straightforward solution.

  • Although all are good but WizIQ needs to improve in these fields...It goes offline once in a while which is a headache as it needs to be constantly managed and needs to be kept under observation all the time.
  • It is better for less userbase management as its browser platform is not stable for a larger number of participants.
  • We need to manage each online department separately.
  • Audio sound needs to be more clear.

I need to overcome some of the important limitations which have been pending for more than 6 months indicating inability of the vendor or lack of clarity among the development team about what we want and how it can be done easily on their platform and MySQL at virtually no cost without ending up in a feature modification custom development and cost. Teaching and learning with respect to an Indian scenario is different and needs to be adapted to the local needs and realities.

Usability
Axonify is extremely easy to use, for both employees and managers. The platform is visually appealing, and Axonify offers a number of videos and tutorials for any administration and user functionality. The reporting is also very easy to obtain and review, with the ability to drill down to team and individual results.

I have understood and used most of it by now after 6-7 months of exploration and use. Though there are small glitches that could be easily resolved by WizIQ, I feel comfortable to handle the product by now. However, clients find it a challenge to explore and do not wish to spend time to learn

Axonify has been great for support. We have a dedicated rep but I have also just posted to the official user boards and gotten feedback as well. Axonify also has a conference every year that is a great way to learn. You can also become certified in Content or Administration with Axonify if you so choose.

Very responsive and accommodating during the sales period, then totally unhelpful, rude and dismissive when you are unhappy with the product. Now ignoring my messages.

It was a product presentation and not a live work through kind of training. I had to remember the presentation from remote and then go about the tool/ builder. It was difficult to handle and I had a lot of doubts and clarifications to address in my initial rounds of launching my courses.

I have developed my own expertise and that is for sale to my clients as a part of my consulting services. I have much to share for assignment and assessment models, course design aspects and mentoring aspects as this is a remote self paced service. If the courses are live and managed still there needs to be mentoring and support to help the learner.

There are so many training platforms and increasing numbers of non LMS training platforms that it can be very difficult to figure out what is best for you. It's been a while since I did all the research that led me to Axonify, but below is a short summary of the pros and cons of the platforms I looked at and how I decided to implement Axonify.
  • Compligo- This platform was recommended by the Director of Legal and Regulatory when I first joined my current company. Its main feature is that they provide training on legal and regulatory topics (this is very important to my organization) however, it is a very old school platform, the training tended to be very long, and there was no element of reinforcement. It felt more like "check the box" training than education our workforce, so I opted to continue looking
  • Docebo- This was my second choice. Docebo is extremely similar to Axonify in the learning philosophy but ultimately I chose Axonify. I won't give my exact reasoning because I'm sure both platforms have made considerable updates since I did my research and I don't want to cause confusion by posting out of date information
  • Inkling- Inkling is a very cool platform, but not quite as robust as I knew I would need, although I'm sure they have added functionality since I last tested the platform
now I am out of space, so I'll leave it at that.

Return on Investment
  • Before, we could not accurately measure if people were really reviewing our monthly safety material or really reading our new policy releases. Now we have nearly 100% compliance.
  • Over the past two years since we implemented Axonify, we have seen a decrease of $200,000 in our workers comp annual cost. We expect this trend to continue or stay stable due to a staff that is more aware of safety.
  • We maintain our position as a San Francisco and Silicon Valley Best Place to Work due to our high morale and employee engagement level. 99% of our employees engage with Axonify an average of 13x per month. This ranking has made us an leader in affordable housing with some of the best staff members in our industry.
