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.
Trainual
Chose Trainual
No comparison as it relates to many differences. You’re not able to create a portal or generate different classes to make the training fun like trainual it has been a lot easier for our team members to get caught up on any new products and other software that we used has not …
Chose Trainual
There were more user friendly features and a more streamline platform
Chose Trainual
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 …
Chose Trainual
  • This is our first time using anything like this!
  • Previously we just wrote task items in shared Google documents. It was the best of what we could do at the time, but this is a whole different world, and we love it! Being able to integrate quizzes and photos and interactive video …

SkyPrep LMSTrainual
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

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.

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
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.

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.
