    Highlights

    • The OpenSesame marketplace goes well beyond the basics, providing online training at levels appropriate for early, mid, and late-career professionals. Find courses on critical topics like Leadership & Management, DEI, Wellness, Safety, Compliance, Certification Preparation, Business Skills, and much, much more.
    • Before being added to the OpenSesame marketplace, content is measured against rigorous standards; OpenSesame requires frequent updates from publishers to ensure their material stays relevant and accurate, and isn't afraid to remove content from the catalog that no longer meets these standards.
    • With Simon's intuitive interface, you can easily create courses that are enticing and engaging. No extensive instructional design or technical expertise required. And with just one click, Simon will translate a course's text, audio, and video into multiple languages. Changes to course content will be automatically updated for learners in any learning platform, streamlining workflows, reducing costs, and scaling up the inclusivity of training offerings.

    What do you like best about the product?
    I really like the depth and breadth of their catalog. They have courses on all manner of topics as well all different styles. I especially like their vendors for executive book summaries.

    In addition to the catalog itself, everyone I have worked with there has been a pleasure. Both my initial sales person (Angie) and my current acount rep. (Leo) are fantatstic.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The catalog is very broad. There definitely are a large number of courses that don't really provide value. It is certainly a lot to sift through, though their curation team is always standing by to help.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    We want to be able to offer a catalog of content for our folks to help them develop professionally. In addtion, we use their vast catalog for our safety and compliance programs.

    What do you like best about the product?
    We're always impressed with the variety of high-quality publishers that continue to be added to the catalog. When we have an immediate training need or issue to be addressed, we are never disappointed with the multiple options we find, which helps us with a quick solution. We've also had fantastic support from our Customer Success Manager, BJ. He's very responsive to our questions and requests while providing us with more resources than we expect. OpenSesame continues to delight and surprise us with the course catalog and the attention to customer service.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Only one administrator is allowed, but I've heard that they are working on changing that to accomodate multiple administrators to manage courses.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    We are piloting AI options and needed training resources for employees. OpenSesame has a growing list of content on AI and we were able to provide training courses within a couple of days of getting the request.

    The amout of courses available is so large that it can be a chore to find the best one for our needs, but the curation team has been a great resource in helping to narrow down the list.
