Previously we created SOP's in Google Drive that we used for employee training but they were cumbersome to navigate through and were also in danger of getting deleted. They were plain Word documents and were not interesting to read. Trainual is SO much easier for new employees …

Likelihood to Recommend
Having a virtual or online meeting or training that needs multiple attendees, I would recommend using GoTo Training. Was able to see multiple cameras and have multiple people on a training at once. The best feature was able to record trainings and be able to watch them at a later time.

Trainual is well suited for new hires. They can be introduced to our processes and products before testing and trying themselves. Trainual provides for a less jarring experience for anyone new to our team. Every time someone new starts it is imperative that they complete all the training modules within Trainual before doing some of the work themselves. It definitely allows for a smoother transition to the team and work life

  • The layout for all subjects is very overwhelming, and I'd love to be able to sort into folders or buckets.
  • I'd also like to be able to see all steps within ALL subjects in one area and be able to reorganize those with a simple drag and drop, instead of having to copy and paste text to move from one subject to another.

Usability
User friendly, easy to follow and enjoy having the ability to record meetings for viewing pleasure. People who are more technology challenged were able to figure out GoTo Training easily and could understand directions over the phone or using the app for the first time.

During the entire sales process, the Trainual team was great to work with. After the sale, their onboard process was top notch as well and was very quick to answer any questions and actually were open to customizing the platform to meet our specific needs. They have been great this entire time.
