Skillsoft Erfahrungen

Skillsoft has certainly come a long way since the days of Skillport. Percipio is no doubt a sleeker user experience, and their content has received a much needed refresh. As an admin for eLearning now in several different organizations, I've always leaned more towards Skillsoft as a vendor when it comes to technical content (programming, IT, cert prep, etc.), although their soft skills catalog is also pretty decent.

As a platform, my main gripes are with the admin side. I've used other eLearning platforms in previous roles, and Skillsoft's admin interface is always the clunkiest. Terminology used is not always intuitive, and user and content management requires too many clicks.

The software is easy to use, understand and consistently quality checked. Their eLearning courses help us check a lot of regulatory boxes.

Pricing structure for the content itself is a bit robust with different courses falling under different categories and it often gets confusing but the support teams and account managers do a decent job of assisting.

Skillsoft by Skillsoft is easily integrated with existing HRIS sysrems. The number of available resources observations the Skillsoft library is unbelievable.

There are a few missing critical features in the basic Skillport LMS. The primary missing feature is the lack of manager tracking dashboards outside of the reporting tool.

SkillPort has a wealth of industry-approved training that allows my candidates to learn new technologies and increase their odds of securing a new work opportunity.

I have had only positive experiences with SkillPort so far - my candidates have appreciated having SkillPort as a resource and have only had positive feedback.

Thanks to the trainings I received on developing management and leadership skills, my personal development and business performance increased. I generally rate it positively.

needs to be developed for offline learning.

It gives practical example of what they teach, I like how they actually make situations.

It's not up-to-date with the ongoing scenarios.

The reports we pull out of Skillport are amazing. You can dive down to the deepest level of information and extract exactly what you are looking for.

The organization of courses and users was spot on. We have over 15,000 users and are able to track their progress in the system accurately.

The system seems a bit cumbersome at times - uploading new content, pulling data that has been archived. We can't remove particular courses as they will delete the history that goes with them. The history needs to stay. The class information needs to stay, but the course needs to go away.

The occasional users have a hard time finding a particular course to take. We require each employee to take 6 courses upon hire. At times we have to register them for the courses because they cannot find the one they are looking for.

User friendly. One can log in using any smart device.
Can store passwords and can also easily re-set user details just in case one has forgotten.
I love the variety of courses offered, but also that you can pause an ongoing course then resume later.
The sound and images are usually clear,like one is watching a movie. Illustrations are very catchy that you can't easily get bored.
I love the fact that certificates are generated after course completion, these can easily be downloaded in color and added to ones education qualifications.

This platform works very well for me, i have never experienced any negatives in my environment.

It's relatively easy to add users, assign training and report on the training. Customer service gets the job done for the most part.

Admin side of the system is dated relative to other offerings in the LMS market. Carefully read the contract, especially the terms and termination provisions.

This software is easy to use with all the capabilities you need as a user. I have used this as a platform watching training videos. The compatibility with various types of tablets/desktops is great to continue your training with a reliable resource. Also, it rarely crashes.

I do not have any complaints at the moment. With so many featured options, it is great for users uploading on an admin side as well as for users.

The IT content is very detailed and works for some people. This is the only content that I found to be relevant and useful.

The experience I've had with Skillport (content delivered by Skillsoft) has not met my needs. I've come across some very lengthy courses that were at least 60 minutes in length. By the time I get to 10-15 minutes, my attention is elsewhere. I didn't feel like it was very engaging or interactive. I felt like it was just information given to me.

It’s simplicity was refreshing. Everything was as it seemed. There were no tricky extras to consider.

It was very limited and could not be manipulated by its users. You literally see what you get.

Skillport is great for onboarding as all lessons and material can be found in one place and it can be recorded and tracked in the same place as well. It is very easy to use and navigate

The thing I like least about this is that the user interface is pretty outdated, but still manageable. The video lessons definitely need updating

I like the variety of both the topics available on the platform as well as the variability of formats that you can use to learn (video, eBook, Audio Book, etc.). The mobile app is also very helpful for listening to audio books or learning on the go.

The way that our version is deployed, senior leaders cannot craft their own "channels" or learning paths.

User friendly interface. Easy to select and schedule the required courses. Easy to understand the training programs

Some of the courses are difficult and it is expensive.
Mobile application can be improved with advanced features

Offers great pool of training topics that can be used in many different settings. These are great to use in a pinch or for general trainings

Sometimes they can be too generic. The script and delivery can be forced and some people don't always take it seriously.

Skillsoft is very useful in providing the various training programmes especially on ethical values, professional requirements etc.

More online training programmes like stress management, work life balance must be included.

Easy to use
Very informative sessions with video and interactive courses

Some of the web features do not work in the mobile application

Centralized location to take and record training, which allows companies to track their employees training history

The interface is a little confusing, and can take some training itself to get employees to understand how to use it properly.
