Learning and Development Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Timesaving/Easy to use and expert advice" May 24, 2021 5.0 From the beginning, nimble and the staff that work here are 100% helpful and never to busy to answer any questions. The use and training of how to implement and design your eLearning is fast and efficient. These guys understand the need to save time and that time is a valuable commodity. Pros This software has helped save me so much time to pull together relevant e-learning packages for our organisation. Easy to amend, storyboard and see the finished article. Effortless to upload assets and unlimited assets to chose from too within the nimble library. What would have taken me a week to design using other software has taken me 3.5 hours to design and publish my first course. Thanks :-) Cons Font colours/design would be good but it is not the end of the world. I know this is being looked into so happy to use this when implemented.

This goes along way to building a partnership and to make sure we are both fully aligned in the vision we and nimble have for the product we are using. The feedback and extra help in setting up the system for me to use has been amazing and would recommend that nimble show be one of the first choices when considering E-learning for any size organisation.

It is easy to use which allows us to develop courses that are of a higher quality that those we could buy. Pros This software allows us to produve high quality, visual courses that enhance the learning experience. We put a high value on interactive content but also like our courses to be visually appealing when text is shown. Nimble 2 allows this. Cons As you are using a set piece of softeware it doesnt allow you to do somethings (for example timed page views) that other software does. Reason for choosing Nimble Author 2 It allowed us to concentrate on authoring the courses not on becoming programmers. Review Source Response from Nimble Elearning July 26, 2021 Hello Brett, Thanks so much for your wonderful review. We're really pleased you're loving using our Nimble Author 2 and are finding it really easy to use. We will feedback your request to our development team. Your Customer Success Manager is always on hand should you require any assistance. Many thanks! The Nimble Team Yannick W. Education Program Associate Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Not so Nimble in Technology" September 13, 2020 2.0 It's cheap and you get what you pay for. This is useful if you're on a tight budget but any credible institution shouldn't bother. Pros There's a free trial. The pricing is agile and very scalable, not to mention affordable, a great attraction for smaller companies Cons The course creator still uses Flash player, which is not something that should be happening in 2020. Functionality within the course authoring tool is also severely limited. Review Source Response from Nimble Elearning May 11, 2021 Hello Yannick, thanks for your feedback. In December 2020, we completely moved away from Flash. Our Nimble Author 2 tool is completely different now in both functionality and look/feel. Perhaps you'd like to try it again? We'd love it if you would. Many thanks! TS Tracy S. Learning and Development Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Nimble Author is a fantastic tool that makes creating courses super-easy!" May 27, 2021 5.0 Since implementation we now have 60+ different courses available and have over 16000 courses completed by individual colleagues. 93% of our workforce have logged on and completed at least one course. The feedback from our colleagues, is that they find the system very easy to use and the courses interesting and engaging and we have many requests for future course ideas. Pros The Nimble Author software is simple to use and it allows us to create our own bespoke course content very quickly, something that was extremely important to SATCoL and one of the main reasons why we decided to partner with Nimble. Author links with the LMS seamlessly. The LMS allows us to produce useful both ‘at a glance’ and comprehensive reports on learner progress and course analytics. The help and support provided by the team at Nimble is excellent and there is always someone on hand to help you. Cons I have put in a request for an interaction that quizzes a learner on something they have observed in an interaction that disappears after a few moments - to see what they remember. Reason for choosing Nimble Author 2 The team at Nimble have always been very supportive, professional and patient! I still believe in the old adage that ‘people buy people first’ and the fact that \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was so personable, friendly and not in any way ‘pushy’ to get our business, impressed me. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has been very supportive and helpful from the first day that we met. She is very knowledgeable and has taken the time to understand how we work as a business and then translate that into helping us configure our LMS in a way that works for us. On the times we have had to contact support, both \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] have been very helpful and have been able to answer and solve any queries that we may have had. Review Source Response from Nimble Elearning June 2, 2021 Thanks Tracy! We're absolutely blown away by your fantastic review.

Keep up the amazing work! VR Verified Reviewer Operations and Events Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review" June 3, 2021 4.0 Pros This software cuts our training times but enabling 'homework' instead of face to face learning. It's appealing and works on multiple platforms. Cons Still needs more interactive elements so you can add more variety. Review Source Response from Nimble Elearning July 26, 2021 Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad that Nimble has cut your training times. We're continually adding new features and interactions to the platform which we hope you'll enjoy using. Many thanks! The Nimble Team PH Paul H. Leadership and Wellbeing Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for building your own course over time." February 23, 2021 4.0 Nimble Elearning has proved an ideal solution for me, allowing to build an attractive course, including a final assessment with a certificate being awarded to successful learners. They are also a great company to work with - always very responsive and helpful. Pros Something great about Nimble E-Learning is that you don't have to pay anything to access the system in order to build your course. You can take weeks or even months to get it right without having to pay a fee. You only start to pay when you enrol learners. In the UK this is about £6.50 per learner per course, which is fine for me because I charge £95 to the learner. There is a single annual fee option if you build and manage a large number of courses but this is not relevant to me. Cons There are no significant options with regard to type of font, font size, or font colour which is a bit disappointing. But it's possible to brighten every page with colour photographs. Review Source Response from Nimble Elearning May 11, 2021 Thanks for your review Paul! We're really pleased you are enjoying using Nimble. We've created Nimble Author 2 with robust learning design built-in so as not to distract from the learning, however, in the future we will be offering themes, which will give greater flexibility in terms of colours/fonts etc. Your Customer Success Manager will let you know when this is available. RD Rob D. Operations Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Go Ape Review of Nimble Author 2" May 18, 2021 5.0 Author 2 is great for us and fits our needs perfectly, it ensures we get a consistent training message to all of our team Pros the way courses look in author 2 is much fresher now, they have an up to date feel and are much more user friendly across all different types of hardware which is great for us as we have users access on just mobile phones through to computers Cons there have been a few glitches in the initial rollout but they have been quickly fixed, the options for different questions in the assessments seems to be slightly less with the new version Review Source Response from Nimble Elearning May 26, 2021 Hi Rob, Thanks for your fantastic review. We really appreciate it, and we're glad, as a long standing customer, you're happy with the new Nimble Author 2. As you know, our products are constantly evolving, and we'll be adding new features in the future that we're sure you'll enjoy using! JC John C. L&D Adviser Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Nimble 2" May 27, 2021 4.0 We have primarily used Nimble to ensure that our employees have received compliance training (H&S etc) and for this it has been excellent. We can evidence that people have completed (or not!) and this really helps with making sure that we and they meet a minimum standard Pros The Authoring tool. It's easy to use, if you can work with PowerPoint, you can work with Nimble The reporting facility - it allows for comprehensive reports Being able to enrol learners e.g. new starts within seconds of being asked to enrol them Cons I would like to be able to control page layout a little better - we can use either one column or two. Sometimes, I would like to use three or even four columns on part of the page Reason for choosing Nimble Author 2 Having total control was the main reason Review Source Response from Nimble Elearning June 2, 2021 Hello John, thanks so much for a wonderful review! We're pleased that Nimble is helping you with your compliance needs. We're always listening to our customers and have passed on your desire for more page templates to our team. Thanks for your valuable feedback! SJ Steve J. Training Officer Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nimble is a quick and easy tool to create e-learning content." October 25, 2017 4.0 A simple product that allow us to cost effectively deliver e-learning and LMS to our business. Pros Simple for both authors and users to use. The author has a standard layout but this allows you to create great looking content. There are good interactive templates that can be used to engage your learner. This allows the author to focus on the content. For learners the navigation through a course is easy and the LMS has a clean simple layout and is easy to navigate for anyone to manage students learning and view their results. Cons You are limited by the software interactions supplied, cannot create course with free navigation and limited with course styles and fonts (although this is changing with the next upgrade). Also unable to create software simulations; however this can be created using other software and imported onto the Nimble LMS. Review Source Response from Nimble Elearning May 11, 2021 Hi Steve, thanks for your feedback and for being a valued Nimble customer! Irerinsola A. easy to use for beginners Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Very easy for beginners " February 1, 2020 5.0 During the free trial, I really enjoyed nimble, the functions are overwhelming. As a trainer in importation,many features were available for me to use in creating e-learning facility for my clients. Pros Free trial is available, and one could derive a lot from what nimble can offer Cons Cost maybe too high for start-ups. 2000+ USD is a whole lot Review Source Response from Nimble Elearning May 11, 2021 Hello Irerinsola, thanks for your feedback.

L&D Officer Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Looks great and easy to use" June 1, 2021 5.0 Crisper and clearer than Author 1 and Nimble are always constantly reviewing and adding new features. Really is a great system at a good price. Pros Very quick and easy to create content - no specialised technical knowledge or IT skills needed. Looks great and can be branded for the organisation. Cons There are some restrictions with layout but this is due to mobile/tablet compatibility and doesn't have a big impact on overall quality. Reason for choosing Nimble Author 2 Unlimited free trial meant that we could test thoroughly with support from the Nimble team. Ease of use was certainly a major factor. Implementation costs were much lower than some of the other systems considered. Excellent support with unlimited access to the Nimble help desk.

Executive Assistant Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Absolutely Brilliant" May 27, 2021 5.0 Absolutely excellent. Customer care and support is amazing. No question is too stupid (and some of mine have been!) Response time is amazing. Learning to use the software was made so easy because of the support. Pros The software is relatively easy to use for both the author and the learner Cons The restrictions on layout although I realise these are caused in order to ensure the software is compatible with users working on a mobile. The formatting features are also quite limited eg text can only be in black and one of two sizes Reason for choosing Nimble Author 2 Nimble drew me in very easily as the initial contact was better than excellent. I was given an introductory session before committing to the software and was able to explain what I wanted to use the software for and discuss how easily my goals could be achieved. Review Source Response from Nimble Elearning June 2, 2021 Thank you so much for your lovely review Helen.
