    Continuous learning has boosted team confidence and improved critical project delivery

    Reviewed on Jul 18, 2026
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    Edly serves as a trusted learning solution for strategic growth in my organization. There were many areas that required training of the workforce, and Edly helped us significantly. The certificate programs boosted my team's confidence and acted as a testimonial for their skills. Employees could complete courses at their own speed and pace, saving them from extra pressure. The content is enriching.

    Edly also helps bridge the gap in certain topics that our business needs to provide to employees to stay up to date with the latest skills. It also helps with onboarding. When a person is lacking in a skill or knowledge, Edly is a resource to help them gain that knowledge.

    How has it helped my organization?

    Edly has positively impacted my organization by giving our employees confidence to perform well, especially when dealing with critical projects. Because they have the skills, they can tackle the projects very effectively. It serves as a one-stop shop for employees to complete professional learning. I encouraged employees to use the system to learn things that are of their particular interest, which increased our productivity. Edly is also a very helpful tool because it quickly decreases the learning curve of teams and individuals, resulting in faster improvements of team performance.

    A specific example showing how Edly improved productivity is that productivity has increased from 40 to 65 percent.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features Edly offers are helpful study materials, an intuitive user interface, and flexible e-learning from home.

    What I appreciate about the study materials is that the learning management system is valuable in understanding new skills. Many team members have stated that the wide variety of study materials and videos provided by the platform has been very helpful. The intuitive user interface is great and very easy to navigate, making it very easy for us to use even for non-technical and new users. This has made it easy for users to access training materials and progress at their own pace.

    Edly also features very well curated content, certification, time management, and cohort support for staff. Staff professional development is excellent. A specific team that benefited the most from Edly's certificate programs is the one focused on professional development for staff, which we use weekly in-house and within the community. It fills the need for individuals who would otherwise need to attend in-person events where they would have to leave campus. This also provides a large variety of options for everyone. Some of our leaders are able to fully participate as well.

    What needs improvement?

    Edly can be improved by addressing the limitation in integration with third-party platforms.

    I wish Edly could integrate with third-party platforms for language improvement, and there should be multiple languages available.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Edly is very stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Edly is very scalable because it has been able to handle my organization's growth perfectly.

    How are customer service and support?

    The customer support has been very proactive and responsive. I am very happy with their service. They are quick to offer a solution to any problem and they are available 24/7.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I previously used different solutions, which were Coursera and Graphy by Unacademy.

    How was the initial setup?

    It was very easy to deploy Edly in my environment.

    My experience with the configuration process was smooth and efficient.

    What was our ROI?

    I have seen a return on investment as it has upskilled the existing talent of my organization. It has helped reduce behavioral issues among employees. Edly is also a great tool because it is truly worth using, as Edly has some really great collaborators. Certification courses are worth the price because they help you with your work professionally, especially when dealing with complex projects.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is cost-efficient.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Before choosing Edly, I evaluated other options, specifically Coursera and Graphy.

    I switched from Coursera and Graphy by Unacademy to Edly because, with the exception of graded assignments and certification, Edly has validated certified courses that are credible in the market. It also offers a free course audit option. The best reason to try Edly is probably their 14-day return policy. With all these beneficial points, Edly is acting as the ideal choice in the learning market at this moment.

    What other advice do I have?

    The advice I would give to others looking into using Edly is that it is really helpful for learning and growing your skills in both personal and professional aspects. It helped us learn all the business concepts that were required for our company. We chose certification after auditing a number of courses. It was definitely a terrific tool for professionals who are self-learning.

    I have additional thoughts about Edly as I love the certification courses and the variety of courses available. This makes it a very great choice for personal or professional growth and self-learning in the market. My overall rating for this product is a 10 out of 10.

    Ongoing navigation issues have prompted restarts yet responsive support has boosted my certifications

    Reviewed on Jul 17, 2026
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    My main use case for Edly is that the support and IT team is very responsive and efficient. Edly team follows their work timelines very professionally, and they are very effective in managing our learning portal, addressing glitches promptly, and making timely changes according to our needs.

    What is most valuable?

    I find Edly's user-friendly interface to be one of the most valuable features because it is very easy to customize and navigate. I can navigate it very easily, and I love the ability to access high-quality content at no cost, which is a significant advantage allowing our new learners to enhance their skills conveniently.

    Edly has positively impacted my organization because it is a free and very informative platform that helps me learn about various topics at no cost. Since I am working on upskilling my technical skills, Edly has been very helpful, and I appreciate having access to courses from universities.

    What needs improvement?

    I sometimes find issues with even the finished modules in Edly where I cannot proceed to the next module and must restart the same modules. I feel there is a user interface error or bug in Edly, and I have to reload the page to access the next module, so this process flow error can be fixed.

    I also believe that adding more degrees will definitely help Edly in the long run.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Edly for the past six and a half years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Edly is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Edly is scalable because it has been able to handle my organization's growth.

    How are customer service and support?

    Edly's customer support is one of the major reasons why we switched from LinkedIn Learning to Edly. They are very responsive and proactive, and they are quick to offer us solutions and solve all the problems that we encounter. I would rate Edly's customer support a 10 out of 10.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I previously used LinkedIn Learning. I decided to switch from LinkedIn Learning to Edly because LinkedIn Learning was a bit complex, while Edly is much more user-friendly. It is also very cost-efficient compared to LinkedIn Learning, and Edly's support is very responsive and proactive. If I ask them any question or if I have an issue, they respond instantly, while LinkedIn support takes some time to provide me with a solution or resolve my problem.

    How was the initial setup?

    It was easy to deploy Edly in my environment.

    What was our ROI?

    I have been able to increase my certification from 40 to 55% thanks to Edly. The variety of courses is great, and it also helped me complete my credits during learning through universities with top-notch learnings and modules.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Edly is that it has a very cost-effective price plan.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    I use Pluralsight as another tech product.

    What other advice do I have?

    At the end of the course in Edly, I am able to get the certificate conveniently. I am able to enroll in a course or have access to what I need to upskill or if I just want to learn something through Edly.

    Edly ties up with the world's best educational institutions and provides the best courses with reasonable time frames to finish the modules, which is something I appreciate most about Edly. I highly recommend this tool for anyone who wants to upskill and learn more, and it is also a very cost-effective tool, making it the best online portal so far.

    Apart from the video lectures, Edly also provides transcripts of all the lectures, which helps me download and refer to them again for my understanding. Edly courses are highly valuable and give good strength to my resume. I rate this review a 5 out of 5.

    In-class content delivery has become more efficient and supports structured course organization

    Reviewed on Jul 11, 2026
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

    My main use case for Edly is as an educational platform and learning management system. My background was in computer-supported learning, and I was exploring different tools. I had used Open edX in the past for MOOC courses and posting MOOC courses, and I was also working on extending that platform.

    My experience with Edly so far was mainly based on research that I did at my previous role.

    What is most valuable?

    In my opinion, the best features Edly offers are difficult to specify, but it is very convenient for in-class learning.

    The convenience of Edly for in-class learning is probably related to site administration and how it organizes the content.

    Edy made content delivery more efficient than other tools that I was using previously. It was simple enough to use, but I could not make a significant difference in terms of efficiency compared to other platforms such as Blackboard or Moodle. I cannot speak extensively about how Edly has positively impacted my organization since it was a research project that I conducted a few years ago and was intended only to support specific content delivery.

    What needs improvement?

    Based on my experience, Edly could be improved by the introduction of AI features. I think it could have more AI features support. I did not recently check other educational platforms, so I do not know what the current trend is, but I am assuming that could be a direction to develop further.

    Adding more AI features is my main suggestion for improvements.

    Regarding Edly's AI capabilities, I think its accuracy and reliability of output might be tricky sometimes due to hallucinations. It could be unreliable in certain situations, so it should be considered very carefully and only in specific areas where reliability is not critical.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have not been using Edly much; I have been using it several times.

    What other advice do I have?

    The advice I would give to others looking into using Edly is that it is really important for everyone to do research before making decisions. Compare features side by side between all the platforms, consider cost and benefits, and then make the final decision. I would rate this review an eight overall.

    I was really looking forward to this one. I spent the entire day trying to install this. Then I found another video teaching how to setup openedx from scratch.
    The instructions in the video of are incomplete and simply do not work on many systems. Sorry I wouldn't give such review if my time wasn't wasted.

    Review from a verified AWS customer

    I subscribed to a 30-day trial a couple of days ago, but it didn't work at all. The instructions were horrible. Then, Tutor charged me $508 today for a service that hasn't worked for a second, even though it's still within the 30-day trial period. The worst part is that there's no way to get support from Tutor.

    I plan to dispute the charge with my bank and escalate the issue to AWS to request a full refund.

    Please ignore the unfair ratings and criticism.
    This works out of the box very well.
    Follow the instructions in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtXP52qGphA&ab_channel=OverhangIO
    It's for an older version of openedx but the instructions are still valid.

    The install was slow but painless

    Review from a verified AWS customer

    We're getting started with this (v13.1.0), and while the AMI took a long time for us to get it into a usable state (also glad I understand DNS well), it worked fine in automating away all the hassle of doing the install ourselves. I appreciate the effort that went into this.

    Latest version (13.0.2) fails to local quickstart

    Reviewed on Jan 05, 2022
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    This seems to be brand new, so I feel bad giving a first review about a failed launch. But then again, you would think the developer would test it. The point of this image is to get you up and started with an open edX instance on AWS quickly. I've done this before, a long time ago with an older version, and the scripts are always a bit of a pain. So this sounded like a great idea.

    There is even a video that you can follow step by step (though it appears to use an older version). Aside from configuring the security group, you should basically be able to choose a supported instance type and default settings. You then access the web-based configurator and type "local quickstart". The problem is it takes a long time and then fails. There is nothing you can do, since the whole thing is intended to be self-contained. I tried twice from scratch. Will try the older version, but I hope it's not another waste of time.
