    Straightforward Setup, Needs a UI Overhaul

    Reviewed on Aug 15, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I appreciate the course variety in OpenSesame, which offers popular business skills that are not typically covered in universities or on the job. The accessibility and sensible pricing also stand out, making it a valuable resource for my professional growth in business management. Additionally, the straightforward setup process was as simple as creating a social media account. The inclusion of technology-focused courses is beneficial as I work in a technology company, allowing seamless integration of learning into my professional environment.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I find the user interface could be more intuitive. It's challenging to know what's clickable and what's not, particularly when exploring options like compliance and skill provision. Clicking these doesn't always give clear feedback if my action was registered, as it often just redirects to another page. Additionally, the web design feels a bit stale or flat in some areas, and an overall look overhaul would be beneficial.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    OpenSesame provides courses on business skills like project management and conflict resolution, which benefit me as these are not typically learned at university or on the job. It helps me avoid on-the-fly interpretations, supporting my professional growth in business management.

    The platform provides a diversified set of quality, relevant courses that address a wide range of learning needs, from onboarding to leadership development. The platform's intuitive design and range of material has dramatically increased learner engagement.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I would say for technical courses, the content does not reflect the current trends in the industry.

    It has helped our staff pursue industry-recognized certifications like as PMP, Agile, Scrum, and AWS. The platform provides well-structured, up-to-date learning routes that are consistent with certification standards and exam requirements.

    Continued focus on early access to courses related to emerging technology (ie. AI).
