Nice tool to train teams, but the UI could use some improvement.

What do you like best?
Companies that hire on a frequent basis can leverage this software to help their workforce have quick access to all the required information. If you don't have in-house trainers, Lessonly is a good tool to help your new hires (or customers) to get a better understanding of your company and products. Going through specific modules gets people to be onboarded faster, and you have the opportunity to help current team members improve as well.
What do you dislike?
I still think there's room for improvement regarding the UI/UX. The interface didn't give me that "a-ha" moment. Also, there are times when the training won't load at all. Plus, the timer seems to be a little problematic. Finally, I couldn't quite figure out how many modules were assigned to me. You see, until you finish one, the system doesn't allow you to see the new module path. If they improve this, it would be much easier for newcomers to organize their time, etc.
From a trainee perspective, I like how easy Lessonly made my first few days in my new job.

What do you like best?
Lessonly is extremely useful if you want to assist new employees in their positions. At first, I was unsure if I would reach the expectations for my new position. Everything was completely new to me, so I didn't know how and where to start. I still remember how anxious I felt since they hired me and I hadn't even started working at the office. To my surprise, the company has an awesome culture, and employee onboarding was one of its top priorities. So, they introduced me to Lessonly!
What do you dislike?
A comment bar would be a great addition to the tool; also, a kind of knowledge base is missing. Maybe they could add a place where users would be able to ask questions or confirm some information regarding the content. Also, I'd love to see an app so that I can continue studying over my smartphone. I did face some minor difficulties with the video-making tool; there were times I had to re-record my answers because the recording didn't always start at the right moment.
If you're looking for a simple LMS, this gets the job done.

What do you like best?
My team needed a simple and easy way to scale learning for our quickly growing organization. We found that solution in Lessonly. It has a clean interface and makes it relatively easy to create lessons within the LMS. Its minimalistic design made things easier for sure. With a bit of extra work, we made it even nicer and more enticing for our team members.
What do you dislike?
At first, we had to rely solely on Lessonly's built-in editor, but they've begun to add support for SCORM - so that's a plus. They have good support (responsive when it comes to troubleshooting), but I've noticed that they make very few updates/changes based on user feedback. I hope they pay more attention to what their customers need...
An easy-to-use tool that works well; very useful if you're creating lessons for the first time.

What do you like best?
To be honest, I didn't have to spend a lot of time learning how to use it. Plus, every time I want to try something new, there are many lessons/guides for admins. These also include tips like how much content you should use, best practices regarding content, when to put information into a video, and much more. I've been adding images, quizzes, and videos to my lessons; everything works really well. I also like how easy it is to create lesson paths.
What do you dislike?
The only disadvantage I can think of is that I can only add an editor one lesson at a time. So, if you have lots of lessons having to do that for every single one isn't very convenient. It would be great if the user could select all the lessons where a new admin for auditing is needed and make it happen with one click.
In terms of price and features, its perfect as a middle-ground solution.

What do you like best?
Before choosing Lessonly, I tested quite a few LMS solutions. I can surely say I've become a fan! Our company is middle range, under 50 employees, so I recommend it to similar businesses. However, they do have plans for larger businesses as well. It's got all the features we needed (and at a reasonable price), but what I love most is how responsive their support is. I couldn't be happier!
What do you dislike?
I'd like to see some more customization. Also, having more formatting variations would be a plus. I wish I could host videos through Lessonly. We can only embed them now, so this should be a priority in future improvements. Also, as an admin, I'd love it if the system allowed me to create a grading key.
Thumbs up! If you have remotely-based team members, this is a must.

What do you like best?
Our company has gone hybrid for the last two years, so Lessonly was a godsend. We needed a tool to help train remote teams and keep everyone engaged (especially new hires), and I'm so relieved that we've gone with this choice. For the past year, the tool has constantly been improving. They've been releasing new features and extra enhancements, which is awesome. Keep it up, guys!
What do you dislike?
I wish they improve the way that tags are created and managed as it doesn't seem to be very intuitive in comparison to other parts of the platform. All in all, the tool is great, don't get me wrong. If there was any other enhancement they could do, maybe add an easier way to manage lessons... Having something more visual like a flowchart or a tree would help to understand faster what lessons exist under what paths/teams.
Our employees rave about how simple and user-friendly it is!

What do you like best?
Lessonly is simple and super easy to use. Its biggest advantage is that we can delegate lessons to experts. SMEs can build their own content, and we can even review it before publication. The focal point of all training is becoming better at our jobs. We've surely seen more engagement throughout our company. All members are set on increasing their skills.
What do you dislike?
The system has been having plenty of updates lately, so I would appreciate seeing a calendar view of any new upcoming changes. Also, the reporting needs some enhancement. For example, I'd like to see a report with just comments. By doing that for all Lessons, we could help our leadership to review training results. Sure, numbers are great, but we find it would be even more useful to be able to have comments AND numbers.
I'm very impressed! Everyone is more involved - Such an inspiration for the whole team.

What do you like best?
If you want to give your employees easy access to your institutional knowledge, it's a great tool to start with. We mainly use Lessonly for onboarding, skills training, and safety training. In the next few months, we plan to set up internal certifications as well. What I love most about it is that it can be tied up to in-person events and online training. Our company culture is all about focusing on employee development, so we're after training that is aligned with our core values.
What do you dislike?
The whole experience was a bit overwhelming at first since it was our first time using an LMS. Before Lessonly, we used to spend staff time that we now allocate to other growth opportunities. I'd like to see more formatting options and the ability to resize photos. The latter is a must to have good results both on mobile and computer users. Maybe they should consider adding some options for viewing online as a mobile user. It would definitely help speed up the process.
It helped us a lot with the shift to remote training. Great for onboarding remote employees

What do you like best?
If you're still managing your onboarding plan with Excel spreadsheets, you're going to love Lessonly... It has saved us so much time when onboarding remote teams!! How much? We now spend 60% less time to onboard our new hires. This is significant time and money we can allocate to other important projects. All the members of our management love the new system and appreciate how much time we've saved.
What do you dislike?
Some of our trainers experienced issues in the formatting. Most times, it was related to complex training material creation.
Amazing product for training new hires. We use it to test product knowledge quite often.

What do you like best?
This is one of my favorite tools for onboarding new hires. It helps new employees have a fantastic experience right from the start. What I like most is that I can build lessons within different paths. Its UI is very comprehensive and intuitive. I'm very happy with it because it's perfect for staying organized. Plus, I can track my employee's progress within each path too! I love that I can create many different trainings for my team - great if you're into continuous improvement.
What do you dislike?
Technically, moving lessons from one path to the next takes a bit longer than it should. I'd love to see it improve in future updates. Don't you think it would be much easier with the addition of a couple of shortcuts? Making the process quicker would save trainers loads of time.
