Platform is great, support could be better

  • March 10, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the product to accomplish almost anything we ask for. I also appreciate they allowed us to white-label for my organization. The Browser integrations and MS team integrations are really cool as well.

The training and implementation process was great well. I appreciated their well throughout plan to how we get us started and what has been even more impressive is the learning experience connection resource center has been to keep growing and engaging our account. I feel we are just at the tip of getting started.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support team responsiveness could be slow at times. We sometimes needed to understand who was responsible for our service, but there were always willing to help. We have recommended that they provide one central person as our go-to person, and they work with the other in the background to reduce complexity of support to my internal teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have multiple content sources, and multiple LMS's so we put EdCast on top and integrated all the content sources so it improves the end-user experience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure you have full leadership and IT support, and internal resources to carry this project to completion. I would also recommend that you are fully prepared to adopt this platform as a strategy. This will take 2-3 years to be fully adopted and as a talent and learning strategy. We also went about and beyond to integrate more systems than normal to create a full talent ecosystem leveraging EdCast as our front door.

Constant Innovation and Evolving User Experience!

  • March 05, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the evolution of the platform throughout the year, with updates to the web app every 6 weeks and mobile every quarter, EdCast takes feedback from clients and incorporates recommendations into updates in a timely manner. In addition, the "Learning in the Flow of Work" elements, with widgets for Office 365, Teams, and even Google Chrome, it makes it easy for our Learners to access the platform. It's VERY easy to create content and has reports in place to report and monitor content that may not be appropriate for the platform. Their Support team is very responsive and communicates progress as well as offer mitigation in case the issue can't be solved immediately.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some updates make logical sense, and some might not take the user experience fully into account. It's easy to alert them and develop a plan to update, but sometimes it requires discussions to make Engineering understand the use cases. Administrators can't proxy in as users to see their experience in the system. It does not allow Admins to complete content for users, all user driven.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
EdCast really gets the business involved in learning! It's no longer ONLY with the Learning function, so we are seeing great tacit knowledge being shared making it a great on and off-boarding tool. It also reflects current thinking and knowledge so content is relevant and fresh. Also, our newer employees really like the UX so they leverage the system a lot more, especially the mobile platform.

Some what challenging as a platform

  • February 27, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
There are significant amount of features and functions within the platform. These functions can help to get people adopted into the platform and allow many use cases to be covered in Edcast.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very little usability focus in the platform. Features seems to come out half developed or developed against standard software usability guidelines. This makes using the platform confusing for the users and require training people before they get into the platform. In addition, integrations seem to have to driven by the customer, when we work with the edcast team, they seems to be unsure how the integrations should be designed or work. Edcast tends to the do the integration and then comes back to find out how it should be done - scoping of solutions is almost non-existent unless driven by the customer - instead of the vendor driving the project. Seems backwards based on my 30 years experience in the software business. During an internal usability study of the platform, numerous areas of improvement were called out, some of which are faults in the design of the platform and not something we can adjust on the customer end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using the edcast platform as a gateway to access learning content from aggregated content sources, leadership development, knowledge sharing, compliance training, etc. Given the is an enterprise implementation, other use cases exist that may not be known to the administration team.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The capability to easily integrate any type of content (internal and external) and third party partners. UX change drastically the way to consume and create learning. The on the flow of work integration such as Facebook and Google.
What do you dislike about the product?
The stability of the platform. The platform is sometime quite unstable and also some feature are not working properly such as search engine, filters...
The documentation, we are missing some basic documentation to use the platform.
The mobile version of the site.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mindset change regarding learning, and sift to a learning company/learning culture. The speed of implementing new digital training, the capability to integrate varisous sources (internal and external) to benefit of the best of the two worlds. UX compare to other learning solution, makes our life eaiser. The AI recommendation that brings insight and push the boundaries of curiosity. And many other.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't under estimate the change for the Learning Community.

Nice system for learning

  • January 20, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
EdCast has a simply, clean interface and sync nicely from desktop to mobile app when needed. My company uses this tool for various required and optional learning resources to grow within the organization. You can easily add courses and learning plans to your queue as well!
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found too many things I don't like about this. I'm sure apps like this get updated often, which I hope becomes the case here - I like learning and sometimes the best times it's just me and my iPhone or laptop while commuting on the light rail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I usually browse on Twitter, I end up wasting a lot of time, going from one link to another. However, it wasn’t the case here. Content related to a topic was all in one place and had sufficient info that I didn’t need to follow links which ended up not wasting time.

The content is very similar to a lot of other popular sites, but since it’s all curated for you under a topic, you don’t have to go around looking for people to follow. It’s nice when an app does that for you since I don’t always know the experts in the field to follow. The content could be more richer and have weighted opinions, but since it’s the first release, I would give them the benefit of doubt.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's pretty awesome that this app blends content discovery with communications (ie - live streaming!!).
