Account Executive Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Use Lessonly if you want to make learning easy" July 7, 2025 5.0 Pros Easy to follow the courses, to see your progress, to learn new skills and to find back information on your previous training Cons Nothing specific that I don't like about Lessonly. I would say the ability to more easily skip some lessons Review Source LS Lindsay S. Learning and Development Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Okay For Small to Medium Businesses" December 6, 2024 3.0 Overall, Lessonly is a good solution for small business or corporations with light training needs. I wouldn't recommend it for businesses 100+ as it doesn't have as many content types or assigning options. Pros Lessonly was easy to use and included a nice question bank to make it simple to duplicate training items such as headers, logos, and more. Cons Lessonly didn't have as many options in terms of content types as the LMS that our organization replaced it with. Review Source MK Mouloukou K. AE E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A good platform but features wise that feels a bit dated " July 23, 2025 4.0 Pros \- Easy to use platform with a very nice user interface. You can see that a lot of care and resources were invested in making the experience visually pleasant Cons The simplicity unfortunately is also a downfall. We had very little opportunities to interact with other learners or with the course creator to give feedback Review Source OB Olivia B. Paralegal Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lessonly- training " February 16, 2025 5.0 Pros I really enjoyed being able to customize each page to include pictures, videos, and other graphics. Cons There isn’t much I dislike, but I would like if the program offered graphics, similar to clip art. Review Source AT Ariel T. HR Manager Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Streamline your training!" August 13, 2024 5.0 We utilize Lessonly for our new hire onboarding and departmental lessons with knowledge checks on new processes, etc. Pros Efficient and effective way to streamline our companies onboarding process. We have built a path designed to walk our new hires through many different aspects of our company. The convenient factor is that it guides them through the entire lesson followed by a knowledge check. Lessons are easy to create and customize. Works great for us! Cons I do not have anything that I dislike about Lessonly. Review Source Danee' F. Learning & Development Administrator Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to Use Product, Amazing Customer Service, Huge Impact" February 5, 2021 5.0 As stated above, their customer support team is amazing! From the time you meet with your Enterprise Account Manager/Services Delivery Manager to finally launching Lessonly within the company, its painless and welcoming. There are so many options to build content, make it your own brand, and teach the learners. Lessonly helps with all of this to create a very smooth transition. You are also invited to join their community with likeminded people and have the ability to have discussions with others about their wins, while joining events where you can learn best practices on how to use the product. Pros Lessonly is simple and super easy to use on both the Learner and Admin side. A feature that is most impactful is Trigger feature. We use this to assign training content and it is a huge win for us! We have a large number of people starting weekly and it was getting difficult to assign content individually, with this particular tool in Lessonly, it made it so easy to create a group and set the trigger to auto send content on certain days the employees would need it. We also use this for our Knowledgebase system and it’s really nice to link those articles within training and not have it pop a new system for the employee to look at, as it’s all intertwined. A few other impactful features are the easy to use search bar to find the content needed and the “feature this lesson”. We like the use “feature this lesson” during our daily morning meetings to show our employees any important items, product releases, promotions are coming, etc. It sits right on the Learner’s page and allows them to view the Lesson without them having to search or it being assigned. I like the simplicity of the platform, it is so intuitive to use that there isn’t much time training anyone at the company to create content, which saves everyone time. Their customer support has welcomed us with open arms and made us feel like family. They are on top of answering our questions with such delight, you can really feel they care. Cons There isn't much to dislike about Lessonly. If I had to pick anything it would be the ability to not copy/duplicate Paths or a Lesson section. There are times when we create a specific path, but then need to create variants of it based on roles. Ex: Trainer versions of the same path. Same thing with a Lesson section, there are times a whole section is needed in another Lesson and the alternative is to copy paste or add the element to the element library (this can be nice as you can link the element, meaning if you change one Lessons element, it will change the others so you don’t have to go find the other Lesson to update).

Senior Manager of Learning & Development Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Bees Knees of LMS" July 7, 2022 5.0 I have had a wonderful experience with Lessonly, both from their client interactions to the software itself! Pros I love how the software is so easy to use. You can easily get other employees within your organization to use the tool to author content or to manage and administer content. It's also incredibly easy to create custom reports through the Insights tab. This makes my life much easier as an L&D manager and to help show the progress we've made. Cons There is very little to nothing that I dislike about Lessonly. I'd say the only thing I might dislike at this time could be the ability to easily import or export the lessons. Although you can export a Lessonly as a PDF file...it can get a little messy with content that has a lot of different types of multimedia.

Review Source LA Lani A. Team Leader Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lessonly Administrator user for a year and a half" March 10, 2024 5.0 It is a good tool / app to use to enlighten our employee when it comes to any updates on our process Pros We provided lessons or courses to our employees Cons Sometimes we add some lessons/courses to the employees but sometimes they do not appear on their accounts Review Source RV Ruben V. Head of Training Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Lessonly is the most intuitive LMS out there!" November 13, 2016 5.0 Due to the growth of our company, we needed a Learning Management System (LMS) that would help onboarding all the new hires. Before we used a powerpoint presentation, but that wasn't maintainable nor scalable since we have multiple offices around the world. That's why we started looking for a web-based LMS that was very easy to work with, both for the administrator creating content as for the users doing the online courses and quizzes. And if possible with a very simple yet slick design. After some research we found Lessonly and it checked all the boxes. And now we are not using Lessonly just for onboarding new hires, we are also using it to train existing employees. Each department within Bynder has a specific team member that creates lessons and quizzes. Since it is soo simple to create / edit content, my life as an administrator maintaining it is also very easy. Every day I receive an email with all the lessons that have been completed by our colleagues. But I also receive notifications if some colleagues have missed their deadline. Last thing I would like to point out is the great service we get from our Client Experience Manager. Whenever I send an email, I always get a reply within a few hours. When I ask a question, I always get an answer. Or sometimes even better, an instant solution! When I request a conference call, my client Experience Manager is always available to catch up, discuss the feedback I have received from our new hires (who are very enthusiastic about our online Training Centre) and talk about new road map features. Several times I came up with suggestions that later I could explain in detail to their VP of Product - everything to make their product better and therefore my experience. That is the kind of company we like to do business with! Pros \- Easy to create content for administrators / creators - Very intuitive to work with for new hires - Web-based so changes in lessons made are updated automatically - Overview of all users who did (not) complete their lessons - Automatic email reminders for uncompleted lessons - Great service from Client Experience Manager Cons The dashboards with information and statistics about who is assigned to which lesson and which user has still lessons open are available, yet they could be more advanced based on our personal preferences. I have been informed this is on the roadmap so I am really looking forward to that. Review Source MS Megan S. Sr. Manager, CX Learning and Development Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lessonly is one of the best vendors to work with and the software is easy to use! " February 8, 2021 5.0 It's been great. The company as a whole is wonderful and provides great service. Pros I love how easy it is to build trainings in Lessonly. You do not have to be a traditional learning and development person to create lessons in Lessonly. Cons I do really wish you could pull up old drafts. Currently, once you click publish, you're unable to go back to an old draft if someone doesn't get updated or launched as planned. Alternatives considered [Brainshark](https://www.capterra.com/p/79808/Brainshark/) Reason for choosing Lessonly We do not always have the ability to play videos, but we can read and you can use that easier as a knowledge source than trying to go through a video. Review Source OS Olivia S. Director of Business Development Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent for the inexperienced & seamless onboarding " August 15, 2020 5.0 We streamlined training and knowledge database within Lessonly. We also utilize Lessonly to send out newsletters which cut back our email and slack clutter. We also utilize Lessonly to track mandatory continuing education for our licensed professionals and mandatory HR updates, everything is traceable within Lessonly Insights. Pros We use this mostly for Knowledge Management System but we also use Lessonly to onboard new employees. The interface is engaging and extremely user friendly. Support is extremely fast and responsive. Superb customer service. Cons The quizzes and practice on demand are a bit clunky. There are no options to roll out the same quizzes to the same user, only limited to scoring system where they can re-take if failed. Practice on demand is only in a narrative scenario so it's only useful for written scenario which is not useful for us. Integration was a bit hard to do with Salesforce.

Operations Project Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "LLamazing" December 14, 2021 4.0 We have had a wonderful overall experience with Lessonly. Our implementation team has been wonderful, supportive and helpful. Pros Lessonly is so very user friendly and easy to navigate. It does not take a lot of product knowledge to be able to create a lesson, which makes it ideal when you have a large amount of content that you need to get added. Cons I would love to see some sort of integration with Teams and Knowledge. If someone were to ask a question in Teams it would be great if a lesson or content could be suggested! Reason for choosing Lessonly The ease of use and affordable price. Review Source Tom W. Senior Recruiter Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lessonly Is The Best Training Management Software" February 7, 2023 5.0 Lessonly has been a great experience for our company and we continue to use it. It has allowed our employees to learn more about the recruiting industry and it is easy to access all the lessons that you have been given. Pros It allows you to easily access and complete assignments fast and it has a great design and an excellent support system. Cons I can't think of anything as I am just a user listening to lessons Review Source LJR Louie Jay R. Customer services representative Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Knowledge Master" March 26, 2024 5.0 I've been using Lessonly for quite a year. This is so helpful to me, especially if I forgot the step-by-step process. This product is to keep your knowledge active, and you can get accurate information for this in any cases. Pros What I like the most about this is that it can give you a lot of information. If I have something I do not understand about the process, I just refer to Lessonly for a more accurate and step-by-step process.  Cons I haven't noticed anything for me not to use this because it is perfect for knowledge gainer. Review Source TW Trav W. Chief Human Resources Officer Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great platform and great people!" February 5, 2021 5.0 I love Lessonly. I'd like to see improvements to the gradebook and have pre-made content available, but neither of these things are dealbreakers. The LlamaNation community is a huge "pro" and one of the biggest differentiators between Lessonly and other LMS platforms. I am proud to be a llama! I highly recommend Lessonly to anyone looking for an intuitive LMS for creating custom content. Pros Lessonly's platform is super easy to use to create custom, engaging L&D content. And if you ever get stuck, they have fantastic employees ready to help and a customer community for additional support. Cons The ONLY downside to Lessonly is that everything must be created. There is no (to my knowledge) out of the box content. Lessonly should hire us to create that for them! Review Source ET Erin T. Sales Enablement Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to Use - Incredibly Helpful for Onboarding" November 27, 2023 5.0 Pros I love Lessonly for our new hire onboarding courses. It's easy to create new courses and provides a seamless way for trainers to include self-guided lessons into their training. Cons I wish there were better ways to pull individual and departmental reporting identifying courses assigned vs. courses that have been completed, as well as identifying overdue courses per team/per user. Review Source MP Maija P. Operations Associate Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good concept, not so useful for managing large numbers of learners" February 3, 2020 4.0 Pros I like that Lessonly allows our company to create custom training modules that can be sent out to our network. Cons I wish that Lessonly had more user-friendly reporting of completed assignments. Our team monitors completions by regions, with different managers being responsible for learners in different areas of the country, yet there is not a convenient way of sorting completions by location on the platform - one must manually enter the location for each user, then download the reports as a spreadsheet in order to sort by the location field. Sending invitations is also far too manual of a process - needing to type in the name of each learner (as opposed to being able to auto-invite by location or date added) is tedious and can be problematic when two users have the same name but only one needs to be sent an invitation. There's no additional information, such as email address, available in the invite flow to easily differentiate users. Also, many of our learners have reported that the navigation of lessons is not the most convenient. When reviewing previously completed modules, the navigation menu is limited, forcing them to click through numerous pages in order to get to the one they wish to review. As an admin, I also found the chat box that pops up in the corner every time I visit the site to be annoying, with no option to permanently disable it. Review Source JKB Justin Kyle B. Customer Service Support Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best knowledge based in town" December 11, 2023 5.0 It is easy to learn when your tools is easy to navigate. Pros I'd like to commend the Lessonly. It is user friendly and easy to access. All of the the fuction was very useful. We are enjoiyng taking up the lesson. Great job! Cons None all of the features are very compatible and easy to use. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Team Lead, Business Development Representatives Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lessonly is a Lifesaver" March 18, 2019 5.0 I am a sales manager and I use Lessonly almost every day. I build lessons to review sales best practices and to test their knowledge. I also use the video recording feature for the reps to record their elevator pitches or any role playing scenarios. Pros \-Ability to make lessons to review best practices -Video recording for sales pitches -Quizzes and test over sales training -Continued training Cons Needs to fix a couple of bugs with copy and paste feature, but other than that it is great! Review Source MM Meagan M. Head of CX Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "What did I do with my life before Lessonly?" July 16, 2018 5.0 if you have anyone in your company that's remotely-based, lessonly is a godsend. so easy, very fair pricing, and wonderful support/CSMs. two thumbs up! Pros constantly improving (been with them for 1.5 years and they constantly release new features), love that their decisions are research-based and some of their workforce are academics who have studied learning/teaching techniques. SO EASY to just write a lesson... adding people is easy, managing teams is easy (especially with the upgraded version, you can "hide" irrelevant lessons from separate teams). recently improved search and UI of the learning library was much appreciated. you can embed gifs, images, videos, sound clips, etc into lessons to make it as interactive as possible. our CSM is always around to help with 1:1 advice and the general support team is wonderful as well! Cons creating and managing tags leaves something to be desired - just not as intuitive as other parts of the platform. otherwise i still yeard for an easier way to manage lessons, something VISUAL like a tree or flowchart to quickly understand what lessons exist under what paths/teams - that's pretty minor though and not nearly a dealbreaker Review Source RL Rachel L. Customer Experience Advisor Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lessonly rocks" November 27, 2023 5.0 Pros Love that everything is right in one spot to find Cons Search key words seem to be a bit off, sometimes I search for something I know is within Lessonly, but I have to change my search to find what I need, that is slightly annoying when I know it is there, but I have my work around. Review Source SA Sos A. AX Specialist Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "LMS for Your Company" March 30, 2026 4.0 Pros The pros still remain the same - it is a good software that allows us to create lessons for new trainees and employees. Cons Still lacks some features that we want. It's basics are good but when you want to add more interactive parts that's where you hit the limitation Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Happiness Engineer Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Makes learning quick and simple" August 9, 2019 5.0 Pros I love that progress is saved across lessons and completion is tracked. Wanting to have every lesson available from the company completed is almost like a game. You don't want to stop running through courses so you can keep up your 100% completion rate. Quizes at the end, interactive lessons are nice little bonuses. Cons The dashboard is a little weak for discovery and the search is presented in a manner that results in 1 lesson producing many search results. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Lead Training and Support Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid tool for training your employees " February 12, 2019 4.0 Pros It's a nice tool that lets you set up learning tools for your end users to use and go over learn from. I set up a whole IT course for new users to do as part of their onboarding process. We also use in conjunction with our broader company-wide onboarding set up . Cons the only thing I can think of could use a little work on is the user management, i think it could be a little better and easier to add users and as well as remove them too. Review Source DW Diane W. Owner Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "eLearning made simple" November 14, 2016 4.0 With Lesson.ly's intuitive platform anyone can create engaging online learning. Their built-in styles give you the most desired editing functions -- for example, callouts and having images that the learner simply clicks to enlarge. You can create content quickly and collaboratively without worrying about formatting or authoring tools. As an instructional designer, I especially appreciate being able to deliver small chunks of material. It means that learners aren't waiting for a full course in order to get training. It makes keeping content up to date isn't a huge project. And it encourages learners to take and retake lessons when they need them. However, having a lot of smaller lessons as opposed to fewer large courses makes working with the catalog a little challenging. I've needed to rethink how to structure and manage content. It still feels a little clunky, and I think a large catalog may prove difficult. However, Lesson.ly has also been making improvements. And that brings me to my last point. The Lesson.ly team is fantastic. They are invested in your success, and it shows in everything they do. When you are working in the platform, they are just a click away. They listen. And they follow through. If you're looking to build out informal or subscription types of learning, I definitely recommend trying out Lesson.ly. Pros Ease of use. Great support. Cons Content catalog is a bit clunky. With lots of small lessons, it's hard to visualize what is in the catalog. Review Source Similar Products Featured
