Chose Gnowbe
I feel that Gnowbe is more interactive and allows users to really track their progress in a fun and engaging way. The badges and certifications you can be awarded helps employees feel like they are achieving something, progressing, and getting lots of experience out of the …
Chose Gnowbe
We used Microsoft Teams for a while; Gnowbe is far superior. First of all, the mobile application is much more useful. With Gnowbe, online exams have been made much faster and easier. Very good support is provided for content creation. There are options for system integration, …

Chose SkyPrep LMS
All in all SkyPrep LMS offers everything you need to get up and running. This platform hits all of the checkboxes for most organizations needs. Pricing is very reasonable. It will not make online training prohibitively expensive, and they offer a number of different plans. The …
Chose SkyPrep LMS
SkyPrep LMS was the most cost-effective solution that had all our desired features and functionality. Each platform has a lot of similarities and for us, ensuring ease of navigation and cost were top priorities. SkyPrep LMS appeared to be the most user-friendly -- the others …
Chose SkyPrep LMS
We had lots of technical issues and glitches in the systems over the past decade. Login instructions were constantly not being received by clients (this issue has pretty much disappeared with SkyPrep LMS) and their customer service could not fix anything from the backend on …
Chose SkyPrep LMS
We evaluated 10-15 other LMS platforms. SkyPrep had the best price to feature ratio, as well as scalability. For a growing company, the price per user will only go down as we grow. Features are all what we were looking for, and the user management is simple.
Chose SkyPrep LMS
We never used Brainshark because it was easier to communicate and have our needs met with SkyPrep LMS, but we do use Brainshark for other organizations, and it never seems as easy for me as SkyPrep LMS.
Chose SkyPrep LMS
  • Quicker to market at a lower price point.
  • Tech support was one of the key reasons we began to look for another platform
  • SkyPrep's tech support is nearly instant whereas Tovuti would take days to get back to me
Chose SkyPrep LMS
Easy to use, easier to navigate. Extremely user friendly for both admins and course participants.
Chose SkyPrep LMS
Far less expensive and provides the same or better ability to manipulate training for Administrators that may not be IT people.
Chose SkyPrep LMS
Compared to all competitors, when I was vetting and choosing an LMS system, SkyPrep LMS had the biggest ROI potential, all the features we identified as needs, and it was the best overall experience in talking with a company.
Chose SkyPrep LMS
We use Skyprep due to the cost and ease of use.
Chose SkyPrep LMS
We looked few other vendors but we liked SkyPrep interface and features more. One of the biggest differentiators is that SkyPrep offers customer success manager to all of their clients.
Chose SkyPrep LMS
Combination of cost, excellent features, ease of use, API allows for our own customization, and their excellent customer service.
Chose SkyPrep LMS
Moodle is more complex than I could handle. Softchalk has a user's troubleshooting manual that would have overwhelmed my customers. ProProfs has a poor sense of design and branding.
Chose SkyPrep LMS
I was brought on board after SkyPrep was selected. However, it is far better than anything other LMS I have used.

Likelihood to Recommend
I like to use Gnowbe to spend my free time outside of work. The content can be updated very quickly. I once sent an online test to the people in our institution, and we needed to get the report of this test as soon as possible and meet with the employees. Thanks to Gnowbe, this process happened very quickly. We were also able to have online discussions about the test. This feature has saved us a lot of time.

SkyPrep LMS is well-suited to organizations that do not currently utilize an LMS. The support provided from step one through implementation is excellent. SkyPrep LMS not only wants to help make an organization run more efficiently when it comes to upskilling employees and/or clients, they also want to learn from the needs of organizations in order to better serve all of their clients.

I say 9 instead of 10 not because of any lack of confidence in SkyPrep but only because I can't be sure how large or responsive my market -- male-friendly social workers and other helping professionals -- will be to my offerings.

SkyPrep LMS is very user-friendly. The platform isn't overwhelming when you log in (as some can be). Immediately upon logging in, the core features are right there, in an easy-to-access manner. This is really important so that users of all ages and experience feel confident in using. SkyPrep LMS also has customization capabilities so that you can modify your user's experience.

The file storage is generous to allow creators to upload vast amounts of training material if needed.
