What do you like best? Useful tool for online e-learning and training. Great range of courses and content. Good management information for tracking users, completions and deadlines.
What do you dislike? Very difficult to learn how to edit content, release new modules, obtain data or work around management information without the help from skillscast technicians. It is not an intuitive tool.

What do you like best? The customer service provided means that regardless of what comes up, it's simple and easy to get in touch with our representative and get the support we need.
What do you dislike? Being a smaller financial institution, most modules need to be tailored to our size and the editing functions can be quite difficult to interpret for some members of staff. That said, this is countered by the customer service mentioned previously - we are yet to encounter anything that we couldn't get quick and effective help with.

What do you like best? The service is very fast, and Tim and team are extremely helpful and accomodating. The ability to easily create and pull reports is very useful.
What do you dislike? Module editing isn't necessarily intuitive, but guides are provided and it can be done by the provider for a fee, so no issue.

What do you like best? The technical services and account management is excellent. Mick is friendly, knowledgeable , response time is really quick and he support you in understanding how you can operate the system. Hannah, is knowledgeable, supportive, helpful and really easy to deal with. The people at Skillcast and the detail of the modules is great.
What do you dislike? The system can be difficult to understand, how to make changes and building reports. Updating content is hard to review when configuring and the different libraries and access levels are confusing, module assignment can be difficult to follow. There are several modules with very similar titles and a lot of pre-work needs to be done to ascertain most applicable and/or to bespoke content.

What do you like best? I like the ability to manage the platform myself, including adding new content and amending existing content. The ability to assign content and the flexibility that the system gives around audiences and content types is also a plus.
What do you dislike? The fact that some of the functionality is only available as an add in, would be good to have access to all features out of the box.
