The platform and the content are all free to use, browse and get certified. No locked content or anything like that. Also the certifications are all free. You get a badge and link to share on social media right when passing the test.

Salesforce does offer instructor-led or self-paced learning and the certifications weigh pretty heavily with customers and employers. I think HS Academy provides comparable learning with an opportunity for attendees to implement new tactics and strategies into their routine. …

HubSpot CRM is a better fit for us than Ontraport. Ontraport was OK when we just started implementing email marketing. Now that we want to tie together sales and marketing and also our ticketing, HubSpot has simplified the workflow for us. It's very convenient to log into just …

Digital Marketer is another one I've used, and it's more for detailed courses with examples and worksheets. You take the knowledge and apply it for actionable results right away, where as HubSpot Academy are more high-level courses to refresh you on various topics, but don't go …

I think it goes straight to the point. It doesn't have a million courses but it's enough with the ones they have because they're amazing.

Cengage WebAssign is similar to other online textbook softwares I've used while teaching accounting online. It's a stable platform and seems easy for students to use, even if they are not extremely computer savvy.

[HubSpot Academy is] just a great tool for everyone who wants to grow at their Marketing, Sales, or customer success career. Their courses are very detailed in information, their teachers are the best in the industry, and it's just easy to take some time and learn. I have enjoyed it a lot.

Usability
No answers on this topic
For HubSpot Academy's usability, I rate it a 9 because it is very simple and easy to use. HubSpot Academy is very user friendly. You can pick a category like "email marketing" then you will have an intro video, follow up detail videos, practice quizzes, interactive practices, and some sections have a certification quiz at the end. It is very easy to navigate sections. The only reason I rate the usability a 9 instead of a 10 is because sometimes HubSpot Academy does not register the interactive practices.

However, we do use both and like both for different reasons but I think HubSpot is simpler to use.
