Curated lists are so helpful!
What do you like best about the product?
We have really appreciated the custom lists the team curates for us. It takes away that pressure of having to search on our own and the lists they've created have been spot on. It really makes it easy to implement on our end. Our account rep is also very helpful and thorough!
What do you dislike about the product?
It is expensive for a nonprofit. Maybe there could be some kinfd of mini membership for organizations with small budgets like ours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing people/ soft skills and professional development in one package to our staff.

Review
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use. Wide range of course offerings that meet the needs of our learners at our organization. The follow up when we have a question is so quick.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not a lot of content for higher up leadership like Directors or VPs. I don't like that it is not a requirement for all publishers have closed captions on their videos. We value having closed captions so it is accessible to everyone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have given feedback on providing more content for upper managment and they have added it to their gap tracker.
Incredible catalog of content for personal and professional growth
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the catalog of content contains such an incredible variety of content, from personal and professional growth topics, to business lines, to really niche and specific skillsets. As a small L&D team, we love being able to partner closely with a Content Curation team to help us select the right courses for our organization. We see them as an extension of our L&D team and they help make our work so much easier, ensuring we're getting the right content for our folks that aligns to our learning preferences and needs! We love that we can pull Ted Talks, book reviews, full courses for leadership or shorter micro-learnings.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the content can be really "traditional" - Rise courses, interactive click-throughs, powerpoints that scroll by themselves, etc. But that's kind of the nature of the beast for L&D right now. In general, our options for styles of learning content is pretty limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a small team of two and don't have the time to create our own content, so we lean heavily on the content provided by OpenSesame to build our programs (leadership development, personal and professional growth, skill building).
We purchased OpenSesame to replace our old vendor in June of 2023.
What do you like best about the product?
The large selection of courses, and the ability to direct-send courses to individual users; also, the ability to add preview accounts to each group. Also like the help provided by the curation team. Customer support is awesome, they respond very quickly whenever we have any questions/issues.
We use SuccessFactors LMS, it integrates with the LMS very easily.
For required Safety courses, the user base is quite high, and we're working on adding more professional development courses to our catalogue.

What do you dislike about the product?
I know the team is working on this, but at this time we only have one user who is an administrator. We would like to have multiple account administrators.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a small but growing company. We have a number of ESH and HR requirements, and do not have the resources to create our own. The courses provided by OpenSesame are excellent. We are also working to add more professional development courses this year.
They have a great product at a great price with a wonderful and professional team
What do you like best about the product?
They are continually updating their catalog which enables us to keep learning fresh for our team. They have a wide variety of categories of training available which enables us to support the learning and development needs of a diverse team.
I also appreciate that I can have SMEs in our company review courses before adding them to our LMS. This makes it easier for a learning and development professional. Integrating the courses into the LMS is straightforward and easy to do.

What do you dislike about the product?
The integration with our LMS is new and has had some bumps. They continue to get ironed out and I appreciate the collaboration our LMS and OpenSesame do to resolve the issues when they do arise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need a variety of off-the-shelf content to help diverse team members grow and develop in their roles. OpenSesame has very professionally developed content using a variety of training modalities which keeps learners engaged. I compared multiple vendors when we selected OpenSesame for our curated content needs and they were hands down the best that we found.
A solid course library that integrates with most LMS
What do you like best about the product?
A large course library that is constantly expanding.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes additional, supplemental resources for the OpenSesame platform can be hard to find within the site.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick access to a variety of compliance topics.
Amazing course selection and assistance.
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy intergration with our LMS and a wide variety of content
What do you dislike about the product?
At this time we can only have one administrator.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickly putting out great training to our company. Helps provide employee developement and safety courses
OpenSesame Rocks!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, great customer service, best Account Manager (Alissa Burch), and fantastic course catalog.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need bulk uploads to be quicker, but I think there's a solution happening soon for this. :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote and on site learning, compliance trainings, and on-demand trainings.
Awful service and not fair with content providers
What do you like best about the product?
OpenSesame has been one of the pioneer in that industry but hasn't evolved since, both the product and support are subpar and they make money on the back of content providers that you could buy directly from.
What do you dislike about the product?
The system is antiquated and they don't have any respect for the content providers, their QA process is simply some of the worst in the industry and the platform is not modern.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aggregating content from multiple providers at a very high cost is they OpenSesame is known for, if going directly to one provider is not enough then you can use it but it will cost usually up to 10x more than buying directly.
Improving content offerings with OpenSesame
What do you like best about the product?
OpenSesame has a robust catalog covering content for multiple topics and industries. As an international organization, we also appreciate the expansive language options.
What do you dislike about the product?
The recent LMS integration option was a nice addition; however, there is still an opportunity for improvement with this feature. OpenSesame has an extensive catalog, and there is currently no easy way to move sections, topics or full publisher catalogs in mass without having to go through the timely process of creating lists and then sending those lists to your integration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpenSesame provides quality content from a variety of publishers in one location. This reduces the number of content vendor relationships we have to manage/maintain and dramatically lessens the administrative burden of content management.
