    We like LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) for its large content library and variety of content. Go1 is good for the Australian content. Litmos is good for the compliance training. They each have their purpose.

    I like LinkedIn Learning much better than Alison. It is more in-depth, while Alison seems to discuss topics with a much broader scope.

    I personally think that LinkedIn Learning is a better educational eContent platform in comparison to the other solutions I have used. The catalog is more expansive, offers more in depth tutorials and trainings, has educated instructors, and offers a path to become an expert of …

    Well compared to other competitors the payment method is far more streamlined for Indian audiences, especially against Coursera. The courses provided are very business oriented and keep in mind the limited time availability with working professionals. It keeps the content short …

    Linkedin Learning is more up to date than Mineral. Mineral's content is a little older and training isn't as engaging

    Again, this corporate form is trying to force me to choose from products with slightly different names while not offering common options.

    Udemy seems similar in many respects, but my recollection is that their subscription model was less appealing. I didn't find they offered …

    I have looked at Google's training courses along with other free online vendors/in-person course and no one comes close to LinkedIn Learning. They make it easy, fun, and retainable.

    LinkedIn Learning wasn't our first choice; what it came down to for the organization was the cost for the value of the product. The other services provided better training, better metrics, and better reporting. LinkedIn Learning (or Lynda.com) provided the most affordable …

    We didn't get too deep into the comparison outside of a surface review of the other options. LinkedIn Learning reps were responsive and quick to put something together to meet our needs. Moreover, initial cost fit within our budget and the integration between LinkedIn and …

    We used an internal training solution prior to the switch, and LinkedIn Learning was leaps and bounds better than that system. I cannot speak to why it was selected, as I was not involved in the selection process.

    I haven't evaluated any other learning platforms but I have really enjoyed my subscription to LinkedIN Learning/Lynda. It's allowed me to figure out how to do things on my own when I needed to. I love that it's there and I don't have to wait until a training or conference to …

    Udemy for Business is a crapshoot. The consistency is non-existent. Some courses go incredibly deep, while other courses don't go deep enough. Even when we got a few free months of access to Udemy - I still couldn't find why I would use Udemy over LinkedIn Learning.

    With Udemy you pay per course whereas with Lynda you pay a monthly fee for unlimited courses. For people looking for a long term learning tool, Lynda is the better choice as you get more value for your money.

    Coursea offers more credible certifications, while Udemy offers individual courses that don't require a monthly subscription. Ultimately, all 3 platforms provide quality content and a wide range of courses. However, some may specialize in different areas than others. My …
