Considered Both Products
Schoox
Chose Schoox
I've let them know about the unique features of certain of our places. The same rules apply even if the site is set up in an unconventional way. As a result, everything may be tailored to the user's specific requirements. Due to their proficiency, several of these places are …
Chose Schoox
We have explored no other alternatives.
Chose Schoox
HotSchedules Train powered by Schoox simply dominates any other product on the market.
Chose Schoox
Hotschedules Train compares to blackboard because I am able to track everything a whole lot easier. It also allows me to input all kinds of documents instead of strictly word or excel documents. I am able to upload personal videos as well as bring in videos from another source …
Chose Schoox
I am a CHART board member and learned about HotSchedules from their organization becoming involved in CHART. We work hard to support our vendors. We did not look at a lot of other options.
Chose Schoox
We use Pulse for tracking our daily targets, labor percentages, and cogs. You're not able to schedule, hire, or train employees with pulse but its really good a tracking daily sales and targets for multiple venues. With pulse I only need one account to view numbers and cogs for …
Chose Schoox
We selected Schoox for its simple design, ease of use and speed to which it can be implemented.
Chose Schoox
Schoox looks more like social media experience for our team vs. the survey monkey website.
Chose Schoox
We did a lot of research looking for the right LMS - Wisetail, Skillsoft, and Cornerstone. We selected Schoox because we already used HotSchedules in our organization and also because of its cost.
Chose Schoox
We reviewed and in some cases tested many other options for employee training. Some worked well for salaried employees but would require too much time to manage hourly employees, some had good platforms but could not easily merge with our current systems. We began using …
Chose Schoox
We did not use Wisetail, but we went through several weeks of training calls when we were deciding between that LMS and Schoox. We selected Schoox because of the integration with HotSchedules, something we already used, and the ongoing ease it would provide in shifting job …
Chose Schoox
We looked at multiple different platforms but because it's tied with HotSchedules, it allows us to keep everything under one umbrella and less logins. The customer service at Hot Schedules has also been instrumental in all of our decisions. Their team is awesome.
Chose Schoox
Schoox is part of a system that all the employees use quite often so it gets more results when we implement a new course.
Chose Schoox
Haven't used other products like HotSchedules.
Chose Schoox
An LMS being provided by an external vendor that was really about videos but weren't custom to our brand. HotSchedules Train powered by Schoox lets us customize everything so it is part of our brand and earns our new hire teammates' trust. We were already HotSchedule users and …
Chose Schoox
We used an in-house system. It was similar in many ways but allowed for easier access to the training.
Chose Schoox
Schoox is by far the best online trading aid I have used. The ability to wrap in with HotSchedules and the access to the information is great.
Chose Schoox
Train has great functionally and is easy to use, and its tie-in with HotSchedules made it a simple transition from Inquisiq. Inquisiq was a great tool for us at the time, but we grew out of it and Train was the most logical next step due to integration, pricing, and scaling.
SkyPrep LMS
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.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
We have special locations that work differently and I have recommended this to them. Even for locations set up differently, it still applies. Because everything can be personalized to fit the need of the user. These locations have become so adept at it that they have become admins themselves so they can implement their ideas immediately. I have yet to come across a scenario where this is not appropriate

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.

Pros
  • Ease of use - this product is so easy to use! Building courses, curriculum, tracking, etc.
  • Tracking - we FINALLY have a way to track tests and completion of courses! An absolute LIFESAVER.
  • Accessibility - it seamlessly works on all platforms (iPads, computers, cell phones).

  • Building a class is super easy from pre-recorded powerpoints, videos
  • Assessment Building and Quizzes are user friendly
  • The reporting features for both internal and external use by clients is robust, but also controllable
  • Very extensive administrative features can be administered dependent on client/company needs

Cons
  • Looking up an individual employee's progress on line is very simple and intuitive. But finding the right report for training is not and can take lots of time to find what you are looking for.
  • The mobile app needs to have more of the social features like the Leader Board and creating a new message.
  • We have 9 different concepts in our training academy, I would like to be able to restrict the courses and curricula to those that only apply to specific concepts. Similar to how the content can be assigned to different units.

  • Many of the features in the newly released "Studio" are difficult to understand
  • It would be great if I had more control of what data my dashboard contained
  • Need to streamline their email delivery system and offer fewer but richer features.

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.

Usability
I rate it at a 7 because I think first and foremost the value outweighs any of the improvements I'd like to see. Consistency in message is king. I feel as though the verbiage used is often confusing, the interface could be more intuitive and the academy should be able to be more customizable for the brand

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.

I am able to upload personal videos as well as bring in videos from another source (such as youtube). The reporting is simple and efficient through Schoox and I think overall the navigation is easier from a user and administrative standpoint.

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

Return on Investment
  • It has made it possible for all workers to take part in fruitful and efficient training.
  • Referral and instruction provided by employers and coworkers. Every member of the team and trainer can access it at any given moment in time.
  • Suitable for all training tests once again.

  • Previously we had a limited # of clients who paid for access to our LMS. SkyPrep LMS allows us to proudly charge for access to our LMS now. We expect to achieve our ROI in the next 12 - 34 months.
