Considered Both Products

Chose Skilljar by Gainsight
While I wasn't involved in the selection process of Skilljar Customer Education Software, I do believe its ease of use, overall feature set, and reporting and analytic capabilities make this LMS product stand out against many options on the the market.

I briefly used Litmos and Skilljar is easier to use and offers greater functionality. The Skilljar interface is fantastic.

Litmos had constant bugs that were needing to be fixed, upload limits that were small, inability to download content uploaded or track that content.

The processing time to upload and get the lessons ready on Skilljar is much lesser compared to a lot of the other LMSes out there. The in-depth reporting that Skilljar provides is definitely worth every penny. Internally, the data and analytics provided by Skilljar helps plan …

Great Sales pitch. Ease of use tool was needed for our small team. I also had great references from others who used the tool. Also, I really appreciate their blogs, customer involvement, and research. Overall we have been very happy with the results in our first year. …

We looked at other companies that used Skilljar and how they used it. We liked what we saw! Sadly, some of the other vendors we contacted did not get back to us, which immediately flagged them as providing poor pre-sales support.

Far simpler than successfactors, well suited for small companies

Skilljar Customer Education Software is easier to use and can do a lot more in fewer clicks than Cornerstone. Cornerstone was a clunky system with the focus not on learning like their other suites and the UI was not user-friendly. Spent my time on the admin work than I do now …
WizIQ LMS
Chose WizIQ LMS
I selected WizIQ because I used them when I subscribed for org.wiziq for nearly 10 years. It was firstly trusting in their technical support system in place and their new plug-in. Other products that are available for free or a nominal amount, e.g. Zoom and Google Meet are way …
Chose WizIQ LMS
Nothing yet. But I sure will switch to other software once this subscription ends.
Chose WizIQ LMS
We have also looked at Learncube, Braincert, and Blackboard and currently use Electalive. Only Electalive currently offers all the features we need, although reliability is sometimes a problem.
Chose WizIQ LMS
Here we found some of the basic features of an LMS application we like:

1. Creating a course in simple steps.
Chose WizIQ LMS
After our abysmal experience with WizIQ, I found Canvas Instructure. Honestly, have had a wonderful experience with Canvas--none of the problems that WizIQ had. Also, for the size/resources we need, Canvas is FREE.
Chose WizIQ LMS
  • Audio Quality - TalentLMS is better but now WizIQ's updated versions are improving quickly. Kudos to their team but still it is sometimes sluggish.
  • Low User base - WizIQ is all round.
  • High User base - nobody is perfect.
Chose WizIQ LMS
On pricing atlassian is much more cost effective, I used other free softwares that combined with atlassian would give me some of the functionality that WizIQ has, but having everything integrated is the best way to go.
Chose WizIQ LMS
Google Classroom works so much better than WizIQ. Communication is clearer and and it proved to be an effective medium of instruction for online learning. On top of that, it's free.
Chose WizIQ LMS
WizIQ Live Classroom is much lower quality than Skype, Wechat...No comparison. Poor quality. WizIQ is a scam
Chose WizIQ LMS
Have not tried any other product so far but intend to review some which allow easy creation and addition of online academies for a consultant like me. Yes the pricing factor is a major driver but one needs to check how to transfer/migrate and re-upload content and courses etc., …
Chose WizIQ LMS
There are more products available but I did not use anything other than WizIQ Online Academy Builder. So no comments but a user can always compare the quality and price before purchasing the WizIQ platform.
Chose WizIQ LMS
WizIQ is less expensive than Adobe Connect, comparable to RedBooth price-wise but better quality. Again, if I needed something more robust I might consider other options - but for what I need WizIQ has been perfect. It's a great product and a great value.
Chose WizIQ LMS

I used other similar software but prefer WizIQ Online Academy Builder because it’s really easy to use, especially for a live class. I recommend this software to beginner users (teachers or professionals). They will not feel frustrated when using WizIQ Online Academy Builder.

Chose WizIQ LMS
ProProfs is quite good in terms of survey/test structures, but reporting is not very good. I have not used WizIQ Online Academy Builder too much for testing, so cannot compare.

User Testimonials
Skilljar by GainsightWizIQ LMS
Likelihood to Recommend
Skilljar is fantastic for structured onboarding processes. If you're
looking to streamline and standardize the onboarding experience for your
customers, especially for software or complex products, this platform
is a gem. It allows you to create step-by-step courses guiding users
through functionalities, reducing confusion and accelerating their
learning curve.When you need versatility in content delivery, Skilljar is spot-on.
Whether it's video tutorials, interactive quizzes, downloadable
resources, or live webinars, the platform accommodates various formats.
It's perfect for accommodating different learning styles and ensuring
engagement.
For scenarios that demand highly complex simulations or immersive
learning experiences, Skilljar's capabilities might fall short. While it
supports interactive elements, extremely sophisticated simulations
might require additional specialized software or platforms.

Mails from WizIQ Online Academy Builder very often land in spam, for our students/corporate trainees. While this may not be something WizIQ Online Academy Builder can do much about, it is a genuine issue since we need to keep resending mails till people manage to retrieve it from their spam folders.

Cons
  • Would love to see parent/child courses so that when something is updated in the parent course that change is automatically reflected in the clones of that course.
  • Features that allow for the translation of content to allow access to content across languages.
  • Re-onboarding process when the usage of Skilljar changes hands within out company in order to address knowledge gaps.

  • Although all are good but WizIQ needs to improve in these fields...It goes offline once in a while which is a headache as it needs to be constantly managed and needs to be kept under observation all the time.
  • It is better for less userbase management as its browser platform is not stable for a larger number of participants.
  • We need to manage each online department separately.
  • Audio sound needs to be more clear.

I like what you are using and how we are doing it. Also, changing systems is a lot of work

I need to overcome some of the important limitations which have been pending for more than 6 months indicating inability of the vendor or lack of clarity among the development team about what we want and how it can be done easily on their platform and MySQL at virtually no cost without ending up in a feature modification custom development and cost. Teaching and learning with respect to an Indian scenario is different and needs to be adapted to the local needs and realities.

Usability
The overall usability is great as the software is very easy to learn and navigate. After just 1 week of "playing" around in the system I felt very comfortable using it and teaching others to use it as well. Customers have also mentioned Skilljar is a much better than out previous vendor

I have understood and used most of it by now after 6-7 months of exploration and use. Though there are small glitches that could be easily resolved by WizIQ, I feel comfortable to handle the product by now. However, clients find it a challenge to explore and do not wish to spend time to learn

Do a good job of preparing your internal teams (IT, Salesforce, etc.) about the work they will have in the process

I have developed my own expertise and that is for sale to my clients as a part of my consulting services. I have much to share for assignment and assessment models, course design aspects and mentoring aspects as this is a remote self paced service. If the courses are live and managed still there needs to be mentoring and support to help the learner.
