Considered Both Products	SilkRoad Learning Verified User Anonymous Chose SilkRoad Learning SilkRoad Learning has [a] better process of assigning training and tracking the progress. It has better learning content and training can be executed in a better way. Compliance and policy-related training can be deployed in an efficient way. It's a great tool to help companies … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SilkRoad Learning Less good than Adobe, doesn't look as good, and less mobile/agile with fewer customizable features. Easier for people to learn how to use but slightly boring and didn't seem to be particularly popular with people. A system that is fun to use does get used more and more … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SilkRoad Learning SilkRoad Learning is much easier to customize and roll out globally. The Skillsoft product was expensive, cumbersome, and required a large ramp up time. When working with clients on Skillsoft, too much had to be predetermined, the languages were not fully developed and learners … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SilkRoad Learning GreenLight out performed every other solution we evaluated; it provided the perfect blend of power and usability to meet our needs and to help us excel. Incentivized Helpful? Kevin Wright, CPLP Director of Organizational Learning Chose SilkRoad Learning I used NetLearning before they partnered with HealthcareSource. My experience with NetLearning was not favorable. The system was clunky, difficult to learn for new employees, and lacked many of the features and innovation offered by GreenLight. Incentivized Helpful? Stephen Tsorvas Manager, Training & Development Chose SilkRoad Learning In my opinion, no comparison. GreenLight is a much smoother platform, providing a more stable user experience, with less bugs, less software conflicts, and better support.

Charles Maxcy Learning Systems Coordinator Chose SilkRoad Learning We looked at a few other companies before selecting GreenLight but the main driver was its integration with other HRIS products. At that time, the cost/value ratio was attractive. Incentivized Helpful?

Donna Ingram LMS Administrator Chose SilkRoad Learning I did not make any decisions in selecting Greenlight. It was acquired before I was hired. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	SilkRoad Learning
Likelihood to Recommend	GreenLight works well with tracking compliance training. During the selection process I would ask pointed questions about support. Our implementation went well (Dave M. did an excellent job) and the technical help is very good, however, it appears they are understaffed. Incentivized Charles Maxcy Learning Systems Coordinator Read full review
Pros	GreenLight allows us to deliver training to employees based on the role they serve in the organization (nurses, physicians, clerical staff, etc.). GreenLight allows for customized reporting to meet the needs of various stakeholders. GreenLight allows us to deliver content to all employees for self-paced learning. Incentivized Kevin Wright, CPLP Director of Organizational Learning Read full review
Cons	The words that are used in GreenLight are ridiculous. I know they've said they will update this but it has yet to be done. Words like 'intervention' and 'stem' leave me scratching my head. The learning curve is HUGE. They have made strides in this area with an improved support site, but when you're first learning it, it feels like you're trying to climb Mt. Everest. This does speak to all the LMS offers, but I think some things take too many steps to accomplish. Training events are not instructor friendly. You can set them up and easily make them available for users to find, but something as small as the instructor being able to click a button and send an email to everyone that signed up should be in there. There's no function for contact. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	The main reason we will renew is because, after this lengthy and expensive process, we have too much invested to change again in the near future. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	I have a better understanding of the system and so it is easier for me to use. The student side is very easy and simple for anyone to use. Incentivized Donna Ingram LMS Administrator Read full review
Reliability and Availability	There have been many times when the site was unavailable for a short time. Also, glitches and unexplained ed activity such as sending training notifications out to terminated employees. Incentivized Donna Ingram LMS Administrator Read full review
Performance	It works well most of the time. Incentivized Donna Ingram LMS Administrator Read full review
Support Rating	The questions regarding how to implement in the system are answered quickly and efficiently. If there is an issue with the technical side or integrations it takes forever to get results and after much escalating. Incentivized Donna Ingram LMS Administrator Read full review
Online Training	some are thorough and others are not. I like that they are available for review. Incentivized Donna Ingram LMS Administrator Read full review
Alternatives Considered	In my opinion, no comparison. GreenLight is a much smoother platform, providing a more stable user experience, with less bugs, less software conflicts, and better support. I have developed and published dozens of eCourses on this platform, and it really shines. In addition, the suite of integrated products from SilkRoad Technologies (Red Carpet, Open Hire, and WingSpan) really impress when combined with the strength of GreenLight.

Scalability	The system went down/offline for 5 or 6 days in January. This is the month we have 3400 employees taking annual required training. It had several glitches afterwards that took months to correct. Incentivized Donna Ingram LMS Administrator Read full review
Return on Investment	seems to have made sure that all out short term contract staff are more on the same level and can access various lists, documents they need from training in a way that fees up admin time. 100% of people interacted with it in someway, in the end no one had trouble understanding how it worked seemed to help with our duel learning delivery goals but too soon to tell just yet Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
