Eduson.tv vs. Skillsoft Leadership Development Program

Eduson.tv works great when a company needs to train the blue collar workers in numerous locations

If you had an individual, group or a multitude of groups that you would need to train, this platform can work wonder and minimal time to do this as well. You can basically assign your whole company a list of things at the same time rather than assigning each person each individual asset.

There would be a scenario when reporting is unexpectedly requested and its needed in detail so you can easily in minutes grab a report off all individuals/groups, what assets they started, stopped, when and where they stopped, if they completed something etc. Rapid reporting is my favorite part.

• Eduson.tv provides and LMS together with a large course library. It is a big plus.
• We also used the Eduson personnel assessment tool to work out competences, maps, and individual development plans for high potential employees.

• I really like their library of leadership videos where leaders share their best practices. They're short and easy to use in a variety of settings (e.g. trainings, business meetings, etc.).
• I find Skillsoft to have strong customer service. They do a very good job of listening to your needs and advising a variety of solutions within the given parameters.

• I like the way Eduson.tv is developing, and I believe they should keep on moving in this direction: making more courses, eLearning tools and tests for personnel assessment.

• They are getting better, but keeping up with the IT times and keeping their site modern and user friendly
• Compliance - we had 2 seperate interfaces between the compliance part (Academy) and the Business Courseware catelog and our custom content - this created a lot of confusion around what was what. Support and the usablility of Academy was not up to par with what we were used to with the normal SkillPort.
• Technical support doesn't always have the answer

I would recommend to renew as this is part of our employee development goals and we make a strong commitment to develop employees' people skills. I think SkillSoft has a very innovative approach to develop people's interpersonal skills other than traditional classroom learning.

Everything is clear and intuitive.

The integration between the main Skillsoft portal and Books24x7 could use improvement. Most users don't realize there is actually a separate books portal because the link to it is not that visible. Yet, once they discover it, they realize that the books portal is actually easier to use to search for books, ebook summaries, and videos.

Very responsive, knowledge and helpful. They are always focused on ensuring they are doing the very best to support our success.

Just that it takes a village. It cannot be done alone. Everyone needs to know what you are doing and what their role is in the implementation. Tightly managing the project management schedule and resources is important in ensuring that everything gets done on time, and with quality. Education is KEY

I've written my own, used Pierson, and many others - and in fact, Skillsoft have purchased or acquired most of the better ones -- and there really is no competition in my opinion. They really do a great job - when you get the best at Harvard Business School as topic teachers, you've got the best products.

• Eduson.tv helped us to train our staff at distant offices at a reasonable price.
• Employee efficiency is the most important metric for us. It increased up to 30-40% in certain divisions.

• The ability to have on-demand training saves money in not having to have an in-house trainer.
• Employees can complete training on their own time (even at home), so if they need more time for a training, they can complete it on their own time.
