What do you like best? Customer service is terrific. Westnet Learning partners with you to improve your business. Easy for employees to use and easy for administrators to manage.
What do you dislike? The feature I like the least is the custom report builder because I do not use it. The Westnet team has helped me build out my own reports.

What do you like best? Customer service is terrific. Westnet Learning partners with you to improve your business. Easy for employees to use and easy for administrators to manage. Have used Westnet at several companies from 90 employees to 90,000 employees. With a resource like this available, I struggle to understand why there are still companies (large or small) that still have paper-based training systems.
What do you dislike? I was satisfied with most if not all of the platforms features. As is with many many Learning Management Systems, a more intuitive UI would help learners explore and become engaged.

What do you like best? Simple delivery of SCORM packages. Ability to customize the interface (including graphics and test) based on the audience.
What do you dislike? WestNET needs a "simple" mode, where you can load and deploy simple SCORM modules for those of us who offer small microlearning. Too many boxes to check and things to select to get something deployed quickly. Maybe build a wizard.

Thanks Lewis, really appreciate your review. There are 3 options you should set to load your courses. Title/ID, course type and catalog placement. The other options provide the ability for a customized catalog display for users by department/job titles. Since you assign content to your users and they don’t access a catalog, you can skip those settings. Hope that helps!
