If your primary metric is output of content, and getting \*something\* in front of your teams for the least effort/money, Shape is awesome! If you're more interested in whether the learning goes in, then there's no substitute for good old fashioned high quality learning design.

Pros

When the guiding philosophy is "something is better than nothing", then Shape is great for getting you out of a pinch.

Cons

The content is bland, relatively ineffective from a pedagogical point of view, and universally does not create much engagement.

Independent research methodology

How Capterra ensures transparency

Capterra lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Capterra is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider's website.
