Pros It is very easy to create teachable contents using Lessonly. Lessonly provides me and my team with a powerful learning system coupled with advanced coaching functionalities. Cons The dashboard needs to be jazzed up a little bit with more customization features for contents.

I found this to be the perfect middle ground in terms of price and features. It's really suited for a smallish (under 50 employees company), though I believe they have other plans for larger businesses or teams. Beyond just features, I couldn't be happier with their support. I never found their sales team be pushy which is always a wonderful bonus. They also have quite a few meetup events with company reps which I'm a big fan of. Pros \-From the pitch to implementation, their support was fantastic. They really helped to make sure this would suit our needs and after signing the contract, they followed up to set up a few meetings to make sure we fully understood how to use it to its full capacity. -It's extremely straightforward and easy to use for both administrators and learners. It was so simple I felt like I was missing something, but they assured me that wasn't the case :) -It offers a lot of information and lessons on how to actually train and improve your training process at no additional cost. This has proven to be a really invaluable resource and has improved our training program and saved time in developing it. -I love that it integrates with Zendesk. Cons \-I wish it allowed for some more customization or formatting variation. -Though you can easily embed videos, you can't host them through Lessonly. We knew this going in so it obviously wasn't a dealbreaker, but it would be nice. -As an administrator, I really wish it was possible to create a grading key. I find I create a lot more multiple choice quizzes because it's just too hard to grade written answers. Reason for choosing Lessonly \-Price -Features -Their support -Their flawless pitch and demo -Integration with Zendesk and MaestroQA Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product Education Lead Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple, basic LMS." December 5, 2017 3.0 It was a simple, easy way for us to scale learning for our quickly growing organization. That being said, it feels like we grew faster than Lessonly was able to keep up with, so now we're looking for a more robust LMS that will provide more flexibility as we become more sophisticated in how we're approaching education as a company. Pros The interface is clean, and lessons are relatively easy to create. Because it has such a minimalist design, there were very little extra work needed to make it look nice and enticing for our team to use. Cons They've only just now begun to add support for SCORM, relying solely on their built in editor for awhile. The customer support team is responsive, but very few changes or updates seem to be made from user feedback. It also felt as though substantial updates to the app were few and far between. This was disappointing, to say the least.

It's easy to dive in and experiment with modules without feeling overwhelmed by customizations. It's easy to see what you've created, give profiles to authors and reviewers, and stay organized with a massive staff roster. Cons Specifically user management can be tricky. Depending on how you import or create users, sometimes after an inactive period, access is archived to free up a license which can create frustration during times of company wide learning.

February 12, 2021 5.0 The Lessonly team is beyond good. They are helpful, responsive, kind, and you can tell that they obviously have a fun time doing it all! I have found them to be very receptive to product recommendations, etc. Pros Lessonly is VERY easy for users. They rarely have to ask for help in accessing and completing their assignments. It is customizable and has great design that makes it feel like a forward thinking learning platform. Cons I would love more pre-loaded trainings. For a small team, it is hard to keep up with content creation. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Lead Software Test Automation Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good for remote teams onboarding" September 9, 2018 4.0 We started to spend 60%! less time on remote teams onboarding, so it's got easier to adjust out business to changing technology demands. Pros Out onboarding plan had been a difficult to manage Excel spreadsheet for a long time. Eventually, I was able to persuade management to use some more appropriate solution. We compared Lessonly vs WorkRamp and lessonly was the winner because of more reach features set. Thanks to feature that allow to track trainers activity, we were able to motivate experienced employees to create a number of training materials (most of people were able to use the app right away, without any training) and reward top performers. Cons Some of trainers reported they experienced formatting issues when creating complex training materials.

Glitch I'm facing these days but it's not a big deal Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Adjunct English Instructor Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lessonly Works!" January 17, 2019 5.0 Lessonly works very well for our training systems. Our information is updated/can change a lot so being able to easily go into a lesson to update is a benefit. Lessonly also provides 'house' lesson/guides for it's administrators including tips on when to put information into video, what might work best content-wise or how much content. This is very useful for those creating lessons for the first time. Pros Your can add videos, images, and quizzes to the lessons on any slide. You can create lesson paths which clump certain lessons into one flow. You can track when employees begin and end lessons, and the 'grade' they get for each lesson (if you have quizzes in lessons). Cons Can be cumbersome to add a new administrator for auditing the lessons if there are a ton of lessons, as it seems you can only add an editor one lesson at a time. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Learning & Engagement Manager E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very Easy to Learn and Implement" April 2, 2019 5.0 Pros I never had any formal training, but was able to pick this up quickly and easily - that is the sign of great, easy to use software. Customer service is quick to respond and VERY helpful as well which is lovely. Cons More ability to do things in bulk (bulk upload, bulk tag) would make an easy to use software even easier to use!

Docente Agregado Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent tool of training" June 12, 2018 5.0 Organization of classes for training teachers Pros For the course of educational training, the tool is very usefulness and allows to share videos and projections of images dynamically Cons The cost is a little bit high and the explanation for the functioning results something complicated Review Source SH Shaqueisha H. Customer Support Representative Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy Lesson Tool" November 4, 2024 5.0 I am a new user but the tool is very easy to use and I believe it is designed perfectly for courses/ learning. Pros Navigating is made very simple. The layout is also a simple layout. Cons I have not experienced anything that I dislike. Review Source EB Edgar B. Customer Service Representative Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Helpful Lessonly " November 14, 2023 5.0 My over all experience was great because teaching assistants, resources, time, instructional tactics, and content organization are all facilitated by lesson planning, which also informs students of what they will learn and how their objectives will be evaluated. Pros Everything you need to develop, coordinate, and carry out your new knowledge management strategy as simply as possible is available on Lessonly. Cons Everything like all features on Lessonly was extremely helpful. Review Source CK Christina K. Director of Training Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User Friendly & Efficient" July 21, 2022 5.0 Pros I like how easy Lessonly makes it to create content and assign it out to large groups of people with the click of a button Cons I would love to see more capabilities in terms of question types and the ability to create folders in the image library Review Source RLC Raine Leonard C. Agent Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lessonly usability" November 11, 2023 4.0 Pros The thing that I really like about lessonly is how the lessons are arranged Cons The thing that I disliked in lessonly is the text or font sizes Review Source JA Jomasel A. Supervisor Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lessonly - trained to be equipped! " December 12, 2023 5.0 Lessonly gets to trained everyone who uses it by providing quality demo, easy navigation, detailes execution and complete equipment or data needed to success. Great job indeed. Pros Lessonly is helpful during with our every weekly updates and training courses. Very documented and helps us to fully equipped ourselves before the going on live during the said training phase. Cons None as of now, did not encounter an issue at all. Review Source MP Melina P. Training & Education Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Solution for Online Training" November 15, 2016 4.0 We use Lesson.ly to help provide training to all of our employees; however, it has been most helpful to train our field staff who we do not see in the office that often. We are able to provide information to this group and ask them a few questions to attach accountability to them for knowing or being aware of policy changes, common issues in the field, and safety topics. We are also planning to offer blocks of training to new employees based on their position in the company to assist in orientation and beyond. I would also like to comment on the customer support. I like that I can send one of my reps a quick email to describe an issue I'm having and I get a fast response. I don't think I've ever waited more than an hour... usually it is just a few minutes. I appreciate that. Pros Flexibility to train on any topic, technical support, contact with my rep, feel like I am a partner and not one of many customers Cons I would like to have more capabilities like on PowerPoint to jazz up the lessons (colorful backgrounds, effects, etc.). Review Source SM Sarah M. Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use, incredibly effective" November 15, 2016 4.0 I've used Lesson.ly for about 6 months now, and am very happy with it. We have teams of contractors who perform services on behalf of our company, and Lesson.ly has made it easy for us to create content, send it out in a digestible way, and then monitor compliance. I do think the software lacks a few bells and whistles that would truly make it amazing, but what they lack in tech features they make up for in customer support. Their team is always willing to go above and beyond to help us figure something out or find a workaround. Pros Lesson and course format for content creation, referenceable content in a "learning library" format, easy to monitor compliance, easy to create content. Cons Admin dashboard could use some improvement and more wiki functionality. I would also like a bit more customization in terms of formatting the content. Review Source jT jonnylou T. Agent Automotive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Lessonly review" November 14, 2023 4.0 Overall is good since all knowledge from lessonly can apply with the actual calls Pros You can see if you have incomplete assignments. Cons Sometime there is an error when i try to answer some of the lesson Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Customer Success Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lessonly Review" January 4, 2020 5.0 Lessonly is a great tool for teachings and trainings, and these can be made quickly and easily. Pros Lessonly is a great tool to use for trainings, when you are unable to do an in person training. You can customize with photos and quizzes to make the trainings more fun and pleasing to the eye Cons The site can be a little slow at times, but there aren’t too many downsides other than that.

November 14, 2016 5.0 As a user of several large LMS systems, most recently one from Oracle, I constantly lamented the fact that I was spending more of my time managing and learning their HUGE system than I was thinking about the impact of the learning material I was creating. When my learners told me they "just wanted to know what they had to do" I wasn't able to act on that feedback and make learning easier within the bounds of the LMS world. It was just more difficult than it was worth. Lesson.ly has been a breath of fresh air for me! It has less features than an LMS (on purpose) because they have realized that if the learning isn't simple, the learner won't want to engage with it. I highly recommend checking them out if you want to simplify your learning strategy and increase your employee's productivity and on-the-job confidence. Pros Ease of use and helpful service team. Cons I have to use a lot of other software to manipulate images, videos, etc...because Lesson.ly doesn't include much in the way of content or design within the software. Review Source DG David G. Program Manager, Learning & Enablement Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing learning software with some of the best client support I've ever experienced." November 15, 2016 5.0 Working with Lessonly has been one of the best vendor partner experiences I've had. In our search for a learning platform, I was pleasantly surprised to find this (relatively) small company innovating in a market where most others are falling behind. The Lessonly platform has gotten us excited again about capturing and sharing internal company knowledge. The support and partnership we have with the Lessonly team is one of the best experiences I've ever had. They have provided great guidance on building setup and launch, building engaging lessons, and best practices around driving adoption. Lessonly rocks!

Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lessonly is a wonderful teaching tool!" May 28, 2019 4.0 Pros Lessonly has a fantastic search tool to be able to reference specific lessons by keywords. Cons When you share lessons with team members via email, the lessons don't always make it to the team member or they end up out of order. Review Source MB Melisa B. Virtual Trainer Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy, modern E-Learning Tool" November 15, 2016 5.0 Lesson.Ly is an incredibly easy and user friendly E-Learning program for both designers and learners. As an admin creating lessons and courses is a smooth process and enjoyable. Pros Easy of use is my favorite part. Cons When building lessons it a bit tedious that the "ADD NEW: Text, Question, Image, etc" bar does not scroll with the page, so you always have to go backup the page any time you need a new piece. Review Source DW Dominika W. Talent manager Translation and Localization Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lessonly can teach you a lot!" September 23, 2021 4.0 Pros Easy to access and make adjustments where necessary Cons Nothing, in particular, I can point as a disadvantage Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Related categories [Learning Management System](https://www.capterra.com/learning-management-system-software/)[Training](https://www.capterra.com/training-software/)[Sales Coaching](https://www.capterra.com/sales-coaching-software/)
