February 10, 2020 5.0 The platform enabled us to increate the angagement with learning in the organisation. People are now much more aware of what is possible and it helped several departments to push their material in a much more engaging and fun way. Next to this, the software helped raise the profile of our learning department. Pros The fact that this combines, social learning, Gamification and a great platform into one simple solution. Cons I was expecting more development to take place over the last period. So although the platform is cutting edge as it is, I was hoping to be dazzled by even more great developments. Switched from [Oracle PeopleSoft](https://www.capterra.com/p/155958/Oracle-PeopleSoft/) we believe that learning should be fun and engaging, the GE software helped us achieve this.

Pros The energy of the team behind the software. Cons Lack of CPD meant we needed to look elsewhere when the contract was up. The gamification elements also held little value after the initial impact. There is also a lot of administration required on an ongoing basis as it lacks the ability to create rules to handle basic administration tasks. Alternatives considered [Moodle](https://www.capterra.com/p/80691/Moodle/) Reason for choosing Growth Engineering LMS More refined. Review Source Response from Growth Engineering April 13, 2022 Hi Glenn. Thank you for your review and your kind words. We're preparing a series of updates that will revolutionise the admin experience, creating new expediencies, automating processes and forging a new and improved experience. Gamification will always be at the core of what we do, as we've seen first hand that learner engagement produces real results. But we're dedicated to improving and innovating in all areas and creating a platform that both learners and admins love to use!

Pros The Customer Excellence team is friendly, however don't get too attached as due to high turnover you will be working with a new rep before long. Cons The LMS looks like it is the real deal, but trying to do basic things that ANY LMS should be able to do is a crap shoot. Reporting is a joke, as it can't handle large data sets, deadlines are never met,even uploading content is hit or miss. They fix one bug, and that fix creates another bug elsewhere. As long as you don't plan on actually using the platform for training for more than a few hundred people, it is pretty good. Review Source CD Cosmo D.

With Impact Suite, you can easily create and manage a learner journey that keeps learners engaged and motivated. Cons The price makes it unavailable to singular users Review Source RD Rebecca D. SVP Strategic Initaitives Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fantastic Professional Development and Gamification!" February 7, 2020 5.0 The level of support was great - our customer service team worked with us through the implementation phase and beyond to ensure we were satisfied. Pros We loved the ability to customize the site to coordinate with our other professional development programs. We could upload SCORM packages for compliance testing from other sources easily that were required training and we could easily build new courses in their site. The gamification features are very engaging, fun and allowed us to emphasize important initiatives by rewarding great prizes. Cons In the financial industry compliance is a heavy burden and we had to do more manually tracking in the system than we preferred. However we were very pleased to see their roadmap which will enhance compliance reporting features in the future! Review Source CF Calum F. Employee success consultant Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lots of nice to have features, but some critical features missing" October 3, 2019 2.0 Having been quite excited to work with the academy, after seeing marketing materials etc in a previous role, I was more than a little disappointed. Pros Look and feel and some of the gamification features Cons Inability to do some critical things, such as set a due date on a course. Overly complicated method for things such as removing an invite. User management isn’t great either, with users who block their account not receiving password reset emails, and being added to a ‘leaver’ list where they will be deleted after X days(customisable) if not reactivated. This can be turned off, but then leavers need to be deleted manually; which makes it a catch 22 situation really. Reason for choosing Growth Engineering LMS Unknown. I was not the decision maker and joined the team a few months after implementation. Review Source DP Donna P. Support Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of Academy LMS" September 24, 2019 4.0 I think this is a great LMS for our leaners who have some experience with computers but others do not find it very intuitive. Pros The implementation of our various modules, the fact that learners level up automatically when they complete each lesson, the badges make it fun for the learners Cons Sometimes things get fairly messed up with new updates etc. Things tend to go missing sometimes Review Source LD Lauren D. Academy Architect Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's easy to use, the support you receive from GE is great, you can use the platform in any way." December 5, 2017 5.0 business engagement, making learning fun, people want to log on to gain XP and collect badges. Pros 1\. It's a place to capture all of the information within our business, not matter what department you work in. 2. The gamification is exceptional and works so well for us. 3. It's completely brand-able and you can make it your own and bespoke to how you want it to look and feel. Cons There isn't much that I don't like about this software, I think it's great. The only thing we don't utilise right now is the Classroom Events, as this doesn't seem to work for us. Review Source SM Steven M. Director of Learning and Development Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great system, but lacks advanced functionality " November 29, 2017 4.0 a lot of engagement Pros Gamified with points, clean look, easy to use. Being able to use points in an online store has had a huge increase in traffic. Cons Needs due dates, need due dates, need due dates, need due dates :) This system was purchased before I became director, but I would have eliminated GE because of this lack of functionality. Classroom management is clunky, a lot of effort in creating events and managing them. Also too many steps after the invite. Want to be able to skip the enroll process an just send out a cal invite with the even in one email.

I just wish that the troubles are attended to as soon as possible that would make the experience just about perfect. Pros The flexibility of use through the product itself is way easier to navigate than others similar. It is the best I've used. Cons Sometime there's trouble with the product like there's some sort of gliche with it. It would be the perfect product if this is fixed. Review Source JV Joe V. Lead Learning & Development Specialist Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great company to work with. Very simple, easy to use software and great customer support." November 28, 2017 5.0 Pros Software is easy to use. Offers what we needed to get our company into the new age of gamification and LMS. Cons The platform has some shortcomings as far as features such as not being able to assign due dates to content, assignment profiles/assigning content, and not a robust back end ability for the type of content loaded to the platform. Links cannot be added to plans and granted credit for, etc. Review Source EJ Erin J. Training Coordinator Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Company already had this LMS" September 24, 2019 2.0 Pros Our Academy LMS representative is responsive in answering basic questions. Cons The LMS system seems a bit out dated for all of the features that are out there now for the price. It is not the most user friendly, the user has to click a lot to get to and find training material. They state they don't know how to resolve error messages we receive when viewing and trying to complete trainings, and that they are not on their end. Review Source JM Jodie M. Head of Academy Used the software for: ### "If I can use it, it's got to be good" October 9, 2015 5.0 I am only in the early stages of setting up our LMS platform but by all accounts, being the Admin and the set up phase is the hardest part but it's been a great experience so far. Even creating the platform is fun and the gamification elements transfer into set up too, you can't help but play! I love how everyday it grows and develops in front of your eyes. It's complicated to get the set up right but the more you put in, the more you get out of it. I am so excited about this platform and rolling it out to everyone. My advice would be to give yourself plenty of time to play, that's where all your hard work pays off and comes to life. Review Source SC Shanthini C. Manager, Education & Training Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Early Stage Review" September 26, 2019 5.0 Pros beginner on system but pretty intuitive from admin side Cons image uploads for badges/awards etc could've been easier Review Source CM Craig M. GAME Learning Manager Used the software for: ### "A fantastic and intuitive LMS supported by friendly and passionate people." October 14, 2015 5.0 A great site which gets better every week. Growth Engineering deliver an LMS which is easy to use and can deliver powerful results. All the tools to manage your learners development and performance and the gamification elements to keep your staff engaged. The site will deliver great results with basic content and interaction, but the magic is delivered when you start getting creative with what the platform can do.
