Love it. Worth it. Diverse. Wish they had more tech courses.

  • November 23, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the SMART lists option. I love the diversity of the courses and publishers available and the 24/7 support. Everyone has been helpful from the time we started searching and onward for a content provider.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish they had more TECH and IDE course options. And just strictly videos. Not just individual courses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving our training challenges. We're solving turnover issues. We're solving compliancy issues. We're making our company more lean, mean and definitely more well-informed. it also is a great conversation piece. It helps us stay on the same page regarding training and company values.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great. Amazing choice. Can't go wrong.

Great selection of content and great partner

  • November 19, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how I can find the exact content I am looking for. Whether it is the language or style or topic, I seem to always be able to find exactly what I am looking for. Also, their team is great to partner with and is always there to help. There have been several times where I get a list of needs from people in the business and I can share that with OpenSesame and they map courses to the needs that we are requesting. And they are always fast in getting needs back to us.

Also their recent addition of TED@Work content has been a great win with our organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't anything that I can think of right of the top of my head. If I had to choose one thing though, it would be that I wish more of there courses were in more languages or that if you found a course you like in english but needed it in chinese, it would suggest a course to you that would fit your need. There is plenty that has subtitles, but I would like to see more content in the actual spoken language of some of the more specific or technical content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are providing not only professional development content, but also leveraging some of their compliance content and starting to use some of their content around certifications and ceu's.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I love how they are not LMS specific. They can work with any LMS. They have a direct integration with some, but you can export a scorm or aicc file to use with essentially LMS you have.

Great Content and Support!

  • November 19, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to search the catalog and create sharable list.
What do you dislike about the product?
Less content around the more popular subjects like communication. Pick out the top few and get rid of the rest. There are too many options and some of them seem to be bad quality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We like having OpenSesame solve our compliance and safety training requirement s. Using them makes it easy to find the right content provided by a trusted publisher.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great to share with department heads to get a well-rounded course catalog. I would recommend using for your compliance and safety training needs!

Wish we had more integration directly with our LMS but I’m pretty sure they’re working on it.

Simplicity

  • November 10, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The most favorable feature is how simple it is. It is not overwhelming to look at when you first open it in the morning, regardless of how much work needs to be done that day. It makes it more user-friendly, which decreases the amount of users who have to spend time requesting help.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the program will lag- causing myself or students to lose work. I wish there was a “save” option so I could retain my work through the program, instead of having to paste my work somewhere to keep it safe just in case of a lag.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It speeds up the daily tasks that I used to spend much longer on. It makes it easier to organize tasks as well so I can split them up between my colleagues - such as messaging peers and looking at assignments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For those considering using OpenSesame, I absolutely recommended it. It is the most user and age-friendly program I have used for education so far. This maximizes the amount of time spent on work and decreases time contacting IT.

Gives you a great selection to choose from. One of best learning platforms used

  • October 29, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The smart list and searching function within the application are wonderful to use. Support by the team, whenever I have encountered any issues, has been amazing throughout my use of the product. The final main best part that I have found within this learning platform is the ability to demo the course before committing to it. Normally in the past, I have guessed somewhat on whether or not I will like a course or not, and it has ended up causing me to waste money by buying courses that I did not get value out of. This platform, however, has caused that to no longer be an issue for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
The standardization between courses is not always as nice as I would like to be. While the list creating is nice, finding the course I would like to take in the first place can cause issues sometimes. Other than that, there weren't any other dislikes of mine. Overall, the entire system is very well structured and displayed and makes for a happy user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently solving the problem of learning within the workplace. Sure, I could find a learning course on youtube or other places. But OpenSesame guarantees accuracy within the learning modules, as well as the information is presented in a much better manner than I would find elsewhere. The benefits I have realized is I dont waste time on courses that I see to be not as beneficial. As I mentioned earlier, I can demo a course to see if I like it or not. Because of this feature, I can decide early on if I want to dedicate time and money to that specific course before going further. Thus, the benefit I have realized is not only monetary in value, but also in terms of time that can be saved by not wasting time on the course.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend this as a solid choice for the learning system. Comparing this to other alternatives that are currently out there, this one comes frontrunning for the group based upon my personal experience.

Great Training Tool!

  • October 13, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really like that I do not have to download any extra software to use this program. I can use it on the web. I have plenty to download and am happy to not add more software. I enjoy the live online training. I also enjoy the online learning tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the fact that this is not able to be used asynchronously. In my organization, it is not always possible to do live training.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to do quick trainings quickly and easily.

Good content readily available

  • October 02, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Their library of courses is large and diverse. They have a lot to choose from so I know I will get content that is relevant to the topic.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is so much content that sometimes it is hard to find and decide which course would be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using OpenSesame courses during the COVID-19 pandemic has been especially helpful with so many employees now working from home. Stuff that would have been trained on in-person has been done on-line.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
OpenSesame has a great library of content. There is a lot to choose from and they have it grouped by topic and industry. They integrate very well with the LMS that my company uses and from what I have heard from others in the industry they integrate well with other LMS's too. Really look at their library before making a decision so you know for sure if it is the right content and platform for you.
