What do you like best about Arist?

My team loves Arist because of how flexible it is. Some of us use it for training reinforcement, while others primarily use it for comms and reminders to complete tasks and review material inside Slack, which has made it feel really seamless. Usually, my team and I have to spend time figuring out how to use some new tool, but Arist fits right into our current internal messaging system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arist?

I haven't really found anything quite like Arist. When analyzing vendors, the technology is only as important as the support, and the team at Arist is truly one of a kind. I don't have a single negative comment to share about my experience working with Arist. I have gotten a chance to interact with quite a few members of their team, and all of them have gone out of their way to be responsive and easy to work with, which can be a rarity in this industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arist solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have faced struggles in the past with quickly training our new hires as they onboard. Arist makes the process meaningfully more manageable on both our side and on the side of our new employees, as can be confirmed by our internal reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arist?

The Arist platform makes it extremely easy to build your course and get it in front of your employees ASAP + not to mention the digestible and accessible content format is just perfect for our needs. That's why I love it - but of course, our employees love it because learning has now become a part of their everyday routine - and they love the format in which new content is delivered to them. This tool has changed the way our team does training for the better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arist?

I can't think of anything at the moment - it's been a seamless experience overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arist solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were having trouble integrating learning into our workflow in a meaningful way that didn't feel like a chore to our employees. Arist is the perfect solution to that - their bite-size courses make digesting even very complex subjects easier for our employees to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arist?

Our team loves using Arist! We can communicate with employees where they are and get responses back quickly. There is no more getting important messages lost in email; text is often the best way to go.

After only a month of using Arist I was sure to recommend it to other team leaders I know. The team is also amazingly responsive and helpful, which gives us the confidence to continue using their tools for years to come. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arist?

I honestly just wish we found Arist sooner. Every question or concern we had was addressed directly and quickly. This is not something we are used to in the corporate education space! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Arist helps us communicate with our team when email just isn't right. Text messages sent using Arist have empowered us to meet our team where they are and on their own timeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arist?

User-satisfaction scores on both courses I created in Arist were above 4, with 5 as the highest rating. Arist courses meet users where they are -- on their phones during brief pockets of time during their day. Arist's course guide and platform are easy to use to create courses. Its staffers are unfailingly helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arist?

Users' most common complaint in the past was forgetting to take that day's lesson during the 24 hours it was available. I believe that issue has been addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Arist courses are helping onboard employees cost-effectively. By covering the basics of policies and benefits in the text-message course before orientation, more time is available in orientation for higher-level discussion of important issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arist?

There was a huge hole in the elearning market -- even within microlearning -- Arist has really leaned in here rethinking what can provide the lowest friction possible to learners and learning teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arist?

There are types of training that may not be the best suited to text. But the same can be said of any training media type. Really nothing disliked about the platform or the way the experience is being developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Arist has helped me to dramatically lower friction in course delivery. Quality analytics and the fact that learners check texts much more than other formats means more data on learning that works and doesn't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arist?

It's low friction, I just get a text and remember it through out the day. I wish I could receive books in this manner with lessons that need to be thought about throughout the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arist?

I don't really dislike anything, I initially had it text me in the middle of the day and I'd miss it amongst the chaos but now I have it when I wake up so I can digest it before starting work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arist solving and how is that benefiting you?

They're breaking down information into digestible and attention-grabbing nuggets - you're not bombarded with info like you are everywhere else, you're just getting the best bite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arist?

Arist is at the forefront of changing the corporate learning game forever -- delivering learning in digestible chunks where learners spend their time is amazing! Additionally, Arist offers best-in-class customer support! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arist?

There is nothing I dislike about Arist. The product is exceptional and delivers on what it promises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Arist is solving a pernicious pain point that so many L&D leaders face on a daily basis: By delivering learning in the flow of work (slack, email, SMS, etc.), learners engage with course material in a much deeper way, and retain that information in a much more effective way than traditional learning tools.

What do you like best about Arist?

Arist has helped me to deliver learning outcomes to both individual contributors and managers. It's easy to build a course, and I'm able to deliver content to my learners in tools that they already use each day- specifically slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arist?

I would like to see more courses in the template library. I like the courses that are currently available, and look forward to using more courses with my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arist solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the past it has been difficult to engage with managers and individual contributors. Everyone has a lot going on, and learning can sometimes drop down the priority list. With Arist, I'm able to create bite-sized experiences that 1) contribute to professional development, therefore employee engagement and 2) increase product knowledge for our sales teams, which has improved sales performance.

What do you dislike about Arist?

That phones are a tough platform to be comfortable with when learning -- for me. I like it, however I am older - 54 - and used to an actual classroom or large screen Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arist solving and how is that benefiting you?

They get information to the learner wherever he or she is. There is no limit to what is being learned and when and how. Convenience and accessibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
