### "Reaching Our Sales Force Through Blue Ocean Brain"

February 9, 2020

5.0

Our sales force, without any reinforcement, has stayed highly engaged with BOB. I love working with the BOB team. They are highly responsive to our questions or requests and moreover are a pleasure to work with.

Pros

I love the concept and execution of micro-learning. Everyone can spare 4-5 minutes to read and absorb new information and concepts. We make sure that they receive each day's lessons at &;30 am before their day really gets started and it becomes more difficult to take the time for BOB. I love the fact that I can track our associates interaction with the software. The Blue Ocean Brain content is excellent but I also love having the ability to provide custom content through the software. A key component of this training is having a platform that can communicate with a sales force that is spread across the US, in multiple time zones without incurring travel costs or time away from their main focus.

Cons

It is very difficult to specifically point to the software as the reason for increased sales or better customer interaction.

### "Exceptional product and service"

February 10, 2020

5.0

Working with Blue Ocean Brain has been such an amazing experience. Each time we partner with them on new customized content they produce above and beyond what we ask for. The are incredibly efficient, responsive and positive in every interaction we have.

Pros

The ease of use and the fact that there is new content every day.

Cons

The only con for us is the use of google translate rather than direct French translation. The Team at BOB have been very supportive of us adding French content when we need to.

Reason for choosing BlueOceanBrain

We have yet to find anything that even comes close to what Blue Ocean Brain Offers and even if we did the support we receive from the BOB Team is unmatched.

I enjoyed using BlueOceanBrain for a working training that I went to. We were able to quickly and easily be trained on different subjects.

### "No Brianer"

February 13, 2020

5.0

Pros

Blue Ocean Brain creates new content daily that is modern, relevant and just short enough to keep the attention spans of busy professionals. It allows your users to search for relevant topics to them and helps your L&D team provide quality development solutions to their employees.

Cons

I don't have any concerns with this product.

Reason for choosing BlueOceanBrain

Before I decided on Blue Ocean Brain I looked at over 50 other solutions. I decided to go with Blue Ocean Brain because of their micro-learning format and frequency of creating new lessons. I have also used their lessons to create curriculums and house them on my own LMS, which has been a huge added bonus!

### "Absolutely love Blue Ocean Brain and the BOB team!"

February 13, 2020

5.0

Absolutely love this software!

Pros

The interface is well designed and easy to navigate. Content is relevant, bite size, interesting. The Leader boards are a great way to motivate peers to invest time into their learning, growth and development.

Cons

My only suggestion would be to provide user engagement/activity reports. As an administrator it would be nice to be able to provide engagement stats to leadership to showcase the value of the software and use to support a case for expansion throughout the organization.

### "Blue Ocean Brain Delivers! "

February 25, 2020

5.0

Blue Ocean Brain has provided a daily learning engagement opportunity to employees across our organization on a host of subjects all grounded in neuroscience and delivered in multiple formats (videos, articles, etc...). The consultants at Blue Ocean Brain have also done a great job partnering with us to customize content and experiences based on our organizational needs which has helped us to improve adoption and engagement.

Pros

Software offers a wide variety of engagement options including daily emails, interactive website and gamification options with completion scoring. These options have helped employees decide which level of engagement works best for them and their schedule.

Cons

Set up on internal platform requires complex security configurations thus employees have no direct access to content on our internal intranet page.

### "An ocean of possibilities and potential!"

February 24, 2020

5.0

Pros

Blue Ocean Brain delivers a wide range of relevant and timely topics that are well organized and always updated. New features and enhancements continue to be added over time which is nice to see. The team behind the software is also very passionate about their work and receptive to feedback. The learning nuggets never take more than a couple of minutes to complete, and are even broken into smaller segments which can easily be completed during short breaks throughout the day. I look forward to seeing the platform continue to improve and mature over time.

Cons

The point system can be easily cheated because points are awarded immediately upon page load, no matter whether any of the content is read or not. The majority of our users do not abuse this loophole, but there are a few that take advantage of it to collect points without actually learning anything.

### "Best Microlearning Tool"

February 24, 2020

5.0

Pros

The amount of content that is available for learners and how current and relative the content is. The advanced search capabilities is also great, its often times hard for me to find something that isn't searchable.

Cons

I would like to be able to do some reporting out the tool and see some statistics around some of our learners.

### "Fun filled learning bites!"

February 10, 2020

5.0

Amazing, can't say enough about the support and partnership.

Pros

Clean look, easy to navigate and various options.

Cons

I like everything - I think if it had a feedback (or like) functionality or chat built in, that would be a big wow. It already is a great software though.

### "Valuable Learning Resource"

February 24, 2020

5.0

Pros

Constantly updated content which aligns to business focus, soft skills and employee performance outcomes. In addition, BOB has unbelievable support.

Cons

It's hard to pinpoint much for cons. Every once in a while we run into user reward point abuse where the issue is at the fault of the users abusing an honor system of acquiring points for rewards.

We have been able to highlight company initiatives with Blue Ocean, and keep them in the forefront of employees minds. The Blue Ocean team is very responsive, and has helped us customize.

Can be a bit superficial like much micro learning.

### "Blue Ocean Review"

February 11, 2020

We wanted to have an assessible resource where associates could use drive their learning. Also, we wanted a resource that could provide content without an associate leaving their office.

Pros

I like the robust content and the ease of navigating through the software.

Cons

I can't think of any con's at this time. It has been a great resource for our associates.

5.0

I am extremely satisfied with Blue Ocean Brain and recommend it whenever I have the opportunity to do so. It is a great product in and of itself, and the customer support is STELLAR!

Pros

Blue Ocean Brain is visually appealing AND easy to use. The information it provides is very helpful and provided in a compelling way (quick learning using short articles, tests, videos). The customer support is the BEST I have experienced in the industry.

Cons

Nothing. I truly like everything about this product.
