What do you like best about the product?
The breadth of topics and variety of content creators. Their customer service has been extremely prompt with same day or next day answers to my questions. The ability to offer the same training in multiple languages (not just sub-titles) is also a huge bonus.
What do you dislike about the product?
We are new to OpenSesame, and the shear volume of content can be overwhelming. We have learned to refine our searches and are getting suggestions that will work for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the past it was difficult to include our employees on 2nd and 3rd shifts in trainings. With OpenSesame we are able to deliver the same content at all hours of the day.

What do you like best about the product?
Excellent customer service. Gold star treatment by knowledgeable, passionate, friendly professionals who truly want your company's L & D initiatives to be successful. Pricing is competitive with access to 10,000+ courses in a wide range of styles to suit a wide variety of learning types. There is literally something for everybody to learn in this library. Integrating Open Sesame with our HRIS, UKG was seamless. The website in easy to navigate. The AI curation feature gets better each time you use it and the ability to create and share lists with colleagues is a huge plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only criticism would be that the subscription is a little all or nothing. You can either have a set up per learner per month with up to 100 courses allowed in your library or you can have per learner per month with access to infinite courses in your library.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Upskilling seasoned employees; providing foundational skills for emerging leaders; helping build out learning journeys for various groups of employees such as new hires, customer service representatives, administrative assistants; supports Six Sigma and Agile initiatives.

What do you like best about the product?
The system is incredibly user friendly, with easy implementation and valuable features. The filters and reporting capabilities make tracking progress efficient. Customer Service is outstanding- attentive, responsive and always willing to assist. My CSM, Alissa B. is consistently available for questions and provides excellent support and resources, ensuring my needs are met in a timely manner. The curation team is extremely helpful and the new feature to curate a list has been a great addition.
What do you dislike about the product?
An area of opportunity in OpenSesame would be more independence to filter and create reports based on topics and users. I would like to be able to filter a report by topic to gather number of training hours and have the ability to see on users who are and are not using the platform.
