CBT Nuggets vs. iSpring Suite

Many Microsoft servers and Cisco networking topics are covered which suits me best. Some IT topics are not covered as opposed to other training platforms. Things that require a hands-on lab can be difficult to simulate as well.

• Great range of images to use to show real people in the slides across the slideset because of the number of different actions they are doing
• Support is easy to access and always helpful with easy to understand advice as well as links to further knowledge
• Recording narration and editing within the iSpring Suite presentation makes it easy to use this function as a novice.

• Because it is on-demand, it's difficult to carve out time to dedicate to training.
• I've had trouble with following along with some of the lab exercises.
• It's rare, but videos can freeze up. You'll need to close the tab and start over.

• The software is in constant revision, so if you search for help online, be sure you are researching the correct revision. There is a lot of debris information about iSpring Suite online.
• The Presentation and Publishing features are somewhat intimidating at first. Be sure you pay attention to every detail. The training I develop is pretty standardized, so I was able to write instructions for myself to follow to ensure each instance was set up the same way each time.
• There are a lot of 'extras' I never use, such as characters and interactions, so be sure your style of training development is aligned with what iSpring has to offer.

Not sure if management wants more eLearning.

iSpring Suite is a perfect tool overall to create contents in collaboration with colleagues. There are some difficulties though in usability but the usability is OK in total. We are fully satisfied with the customer support. There are simple online tutorials and a team of competent support colleagues. The support content is sometimes not simply accessible, you need to search for them longer.

Great software is only exceeded by their fantastic support. Prompt responses, complete with clearly outlined steps to follow, are just the beginning. There are tremendous resources and continual webinars to challenge what we think we know about the iSpring Suite. I often use PowerPoint to lay out marketing slides, add music and narration, then publish them as an MP4 video. I can count on iSpring support to assist me when I need help.

The major plus side of CBT Nuggets is in its
core feature itself. It provides content in a byte-size format (nuggets)
joining all create a learning package. Videos are arranged in a logical and
connected manner yet if one needs to skip some parts which
they already know, they have the freedom to do so without losing the
engagement. A simple and clean interface designed to maximize the learning
experience is better for employees or part-time learners. As compared to degrees
it has virtual labs for various courses. While AWS Self-Paced Labs are focused
on cloud computing and AWS, CBT Nuggets spread its labs across most of the
IT Domains. Overall, the experience is
good to have a comprehensive training tool with usage reporting and learners’
management.

iSpring Suite is the only product I've used since I've been in my current role and I'm glad for that. It was so easy to learn and so easy to become proficient with that it makes hard for me to even imagine a product exists that will work better for me.

• Other than a few duds (I let some inexperienced vocal talent slip thru in the heat of multiple conflicting deadlines), learner feedback has skyrocketed over that developed before I became involved and standardized the effort on iSpring
