Considered Both Products
Thought Industries
Chose Thought Industries
Thought industries allowed us to create multiple customized portals in the price point we needed.
Chose Thought Industries
We selected Thought Industries over these three competitors, even though Thought Industries was more expensive. Their partnership in scaling was better and their integrations were stronger.
Chose Thought Industries
Thought Industries provided an experience that was a quality match for both traditional learners and Learning Management Systems and where the learning world was going (at the time of purchase). What it could do for both Education and Sales combined is the key factor that drew …
Chose Thought Industries
Thought Industries is better on the financial side and as far as ease of use. It is more affordable than Docebo and is more aligned to an external customer use case. Docebo and Tovuti seemed to be more for internal training. Tovuti was less expensive, but it was a little harder …
WorkRamp
Chose WorkRamp
WorkRamp has a very sophisticated solution that allows organizations to be nimble and flexible when it comes to rolling out training to employees. I like it for the ad hoc ability to move as fast as the organization needs to move.
Chose WorkRamp
WorkRamp was a bit easier to set up than SkillHar or Guru, but I do think that each has their own unique benefits. Guru is more about knowledge sharing among peers and users can add their own notes and make their own new notecards. With WorkRamp everything is controlled and set …
Chose WorkRamp
WorkRamp has better user experience and user interface.

Currently, there are a lot of good things about the platform. Thought Industries I believe can do B2B, B2C, and Internal Training really well. The Panorama allows for segmentation of users and cohorts also provides great flexibility for whatever education business you are providing. It is more modern and sleek than a good amount of traditional LMSs that are used for K-12 or Higher Ed. Mobile and the lack of Phone or Chat Support is where they can greatly improve as other improvements are made based on user feedback and prioritized accordingly.

WorkRamp is a great tool that is easy to use and manage. Especially for trainings that need to be done once it is easy to set them up and make them flow together, set out different topics, link to internal documents, etc. For trainings that you want people to be able to repeat or refer back to often, it is not the best solution. It's hard to go back and find a specific module or section of a module once you have completed it unless you know exactly where to look.

Pros
  • Ecommerce: The eCommerce options on Thought Industries are far better than any other LMS. You can sell subscriptions, one-time products, and even physical products.
  • Note-taking: The ability for users to take notes and journal is a key feature as a lot of our customers are teachers and they are learning the Bible and may want to go back and integrate their notes in other lessons.
  • The ability to handle video and audio is exceptional, especially how the video files can be stored in Wistia.
  • The panorama feature is helpful as we have many products that we white label and now, we can create courses for those customers as well.

WorkRamp has allowed us to keep employees up to date on the most recent trainings so that the entire workforce is working on the same information. It has also allowed us to roll out that training on an ad hoc basis vs gathering everyone together for live training, which can be delayed with calendar conflicts

Support Rating
Our onboarding was awesome. Attentive, responsive, knowledgeable and very helpful in us getting our initial internal portal up and running. Support is typically pretty responsive to issues as they arise, although slow to correct an issue/problem unless it effects the overall function of the system
