Degreed Reviews
Pros
A great way to track your professional progress in many fields and skills. The daily emails are also very relevant and actionable - a great way to start your day.
I love that you can make your own pathways to learn new things, or choose from already created pathways. There are a lot of subjects to choose from which is nice, and it's easy to find free learning.
The more I use Degreed, the "smarter" it is. I receive daily emails with recommended learning based on what I have consumed, who I am following, what I have saved for later, etc.
I love the ability to save articles, videos, etc. for later and go back to them when I can...and have them all in one place.
Cons
If something is behind a paywall Degreed seems unable to gauge it's length and will assign it a low score. No way to easily re-categorise something as e.g. an article, and not a video.
If you leave or close the window and come back then you are left having to start at the beginning and then having to click through the check mark spots to get back to where you were.
Now to the disappointment. Degreed touts itself as "The learning portal to find, track & recognize ALL learning.
The lack of a fully developed native app and the reporting are lacking.
"Build and Track Custom Learning Pathways"
Overall: Overall, my experience with Degreed was positive. It has many useful features and is almost infinitely customizable.
Pros: I really appreciated how quickly and easily I could build new learning pathways in Degreed.
Cons: The learning library search functions were not as robust as I would have liked.
"An LXP to Host Your Content"
Overall: Degreed offers excellent customer service, their app is user-friendly, the are constantly developing new features to make it better, and their integration process with third party content providers is seamless for the most part.
Pros: Degreed is really effective at organizing content and delivering it to employees in an engaging way. It also is easy to administer/support, especially by those with limited technical skills.
Cons: Degreed is like a smart TV, it's only as valuable as the content services you pay for to watch on the platform. So if your company has very little content, Degreed won't be a great choice compared to other similar products in the market. Being an LXP, its best suited at playing the role of middle-man between your employees and the content providers you use.
"Disappointed"
Pros: First a disclaimer: I am a user of the individual, free version. On to the pros: I really love the whole concept of using this service for a central location to keep a record of my informal learning. The bookmarklet, in particular, is very handy. I've installed it on both my browsers. It automatically harvests the URL and other metadata it needs and assigns the point values accordingly. For instance, on a YouTube video, it knows how long the video is. Customer support response time is quite reasonable for what I'm paying.
Cons: Now to the disappointment: Degreed touts itself as "The learning portal to find, track & recognize ALL learning." It is not. It will not give accurate credit for learning unless it is publically available. For example, eLearning videos from my professional sites are given only 0.03 points credit for everything, even if the video I watched was over an hour long. I tried a few things to get around that to no avail. The response from customer service was there was nothing they could do.
"Transforming Organizational Learning"
Overall: We launched Degreed throughout the entire organization and the base platform for employee development. We had an amazing pre-launch design, faultless launch and almost zero tech support with only 2 tickets for the population of 1,200 employees. It allows the every employee to be in control of their own learning and development. We used it as an integral part of our talent development process tied to quarterly development check-ins. We have used it to create learning groups around key topics and have curated learning paths to reinforce our cultural and leadership principles. A really nice wow experience for new hires to see how they can start learning from day 1. It totally and seamlessly integrates with all content on our LMS and Intranet sites. We are a cloud-based technology company that needed a simple but elegant learning ecosystem. It has totally met our expectations.
Pros: Content aggregation very strong. Ability to create learning paths from both external and internal content and assign to users/groups. Ease of creating and following learning groups. Easy to tag and create daily learning feeds. So easy to share and add content from any web source to existing internally create learning paths. Very easy to administer and support. Great UI. Very affordable.
Cons: Would love to see more action oriented triggers to users as reminders to nudge learners to stay active. Would love to see a more robust way to measure if what the organization is learning is making a difference to the business or to customer's experience.
"Useful tool for L&D - but could be improved"
Pros: - The gamification effect is real - it's definitely been an extra incentive for me to go out and keep up my development. - Chrome extension is really helpful for encouraging use - Creation of pathways is a nice simple way to set up cross-media training plans
Cons: - Category feed (at least for me) has not been hugely relevant, and there is not much I can do to customise it. - The scoring of different learning resources can be hit and miss. If something is behind a paywall Degreed seems unable to gauge it's length and will assign it a low score. - No way to easily re-categorise something as e.g. an article, and not a video - Would love greater analytics e.g. to see how my team are progressing
