    Easy Access to High-Quality Courses with Smooth LMS Integration

    Reviewed on Mar 10, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    What I like most about OpenSesame is how easy it is to find high-quality courses on just about any topic without having to build everything from scratch. The variety is great, so you can quickly plug learning gaps with content that’s already well produced and ready to go. I also appreciate how smoothly it integrates with LMS platforms, which makes launching and tracking training way simpler. Overall, it’s a super convenient way to scale learning programs without reinventing the wheel every time.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    One downside is that with so many courses available, it can sometimes take a bit of digging to find the ones that really fit your audience. The quality is generally solid, but it can vary between publishers, so you still have to review content before assigning it. Some courses can also feel a little generic if you’re looking for something very specific to your company or industry. Overall, it’s a great resource, but it works best when paired with some internal, customized learning too.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    OpenSesame helps solve the challenge of needing quality training content without having to build every course internally. It gives us quick access to a wide range of topics so we can support development, compliance, and skill building without a huge lift from our team. That saves time and lets us focus more on strategy and the learning experience instead of just content creation. Overall, it helps us scale learning faster and keep resources fresh for our associates.
