Litmos vs Skilljar Customer Education: Which is a better fit?

Jason S.: Hey there. My name's Jason, I am a Learning and Development Specialist. I am giving SAP Litmos a five out of five stars and if you want to see some more reviews like this, click below. Some other products that we were looking at were Cognition, Matrix, Adobe Prime and the reasons why we didn't go with them was, one was cost. The other was, they just weren't very easy to use. They were hard to use on the backend. It was hard to get what we wanted out of it, without actually having to hire somebody to do it, like from Cognitions or from Matrix, because the customization just wasn't there for us to do, without being like a developer within that LMS. One of the reasons why we went with SAP Litmos was because of the customization. You really can customize the layout to almost whatever you want and with a little bit more knowledge and experience, you could really customize Litmos to exactly the way you want. You can even have your own URL. SAP Litmos was so easy to get integrated into the company. We had it up and running within a matter of like a week, I think. And we were able to get users up and on, our courses uploaded real fast, and like I said, the customer service at SAP Litmos is fantastic. So any issues we had, they were quick to jump on, help us out. They really wanted us to get up and running as fast as we wanted to, so they were great. Key things to keep in mind for when you're shopping for an LMS system is really know what you're looking for and know that you need customization in order to have that user really log in and have it look like your web page and your branding, which is what SAP Litmos allows you to do. It gives you that ability to brand and you're also really want to look for something that's easy to use. That's intuitive. You don't want to have people getting lost as they're trying to find courses or trying to learn.

Elizabeth: I'm Elizabeth and I'm a professional developments specialist in the education field. And I give Skill jar a four out of five stars. We use Skill jar to solve the problem of getting resources for teachers all in one place, where teachers are then able to utilize clickable links, downloadable PDFs, even special resources that we have made for them in our business that they can use in their classrooms. It's really nice that we can create a Skill jar site that corresponds with a course that teachers have taken for their professional development. That way it takes the thought process out for the teachers. They can go right to the course that they took, find all the resources that they need, which helps them to plan and helps them be stronger teachers. One thing that I really like about Skill jar is that we're able to make what we call secret sites, but they're essentially individual sort of mini websites that are able to exactly mimic an in live in person workshop. So a person may go to our workshop, have this great experience and get inundated with information and then be able to go home log into their special site that syncs directly with the workshop they just attended and find all of those materials. It makes it really easy for the user and it makes it really easy for them to find information that will help them do their jobs better. One thing that skill jar could improve upon that is my personal least favorite aspect of skill jar is that when I upload a document, it includes a lot of jargon in that download for the user. So for example, if I had a document that was labeled document one resources, I would want my users to be able to download that and have the said document one resources. However, it has a lot of symbols and words, I just do not understand and their download. We have found a loophole to handle that where we upload the document into our web server, get the direct link, be able to link that document to this direct link. Instead, it feels like a very clunky situation, it feels like a lot of extra unnecessary steps. So I would really like skills are to figure out how to get rid of that little roundabout there so that direct uploads and direct downloads can happen more smoothly.
