What do you like best about BrainStorm?

The support staff are wonderful. They really care about the success of your deployment and offer help with configuration as well as ideas for communication and engagement. The training is very easy to take and workflows are customized to the skills/knowledge of each user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrainStorm?

Their latest version is undergoing constant development and there have been some bumps in the road during our transition. They defintely listen to your feedback and try to incorporate requested changes, it can take a little while to get there though. Overall the new interface is much improved from the old. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Currently we leverage BrainStorm to initiate Microsoft training (Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, etc.) for all incoming new hires. It helps our IT department to head off basic questions about the tools we use every day, and ensures our staff are familiar with the platforms they must use to be productive in their roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Savannah Martin of BrainStorm

Thank you for your thoughtful review. It’s fantastic to hear that they’ve been a helpful partner in your deployment journey, offering guidance on everything from configuration to engagement strategies. We’re also thrilled that the customized workflows and user-friendly training are making an impact for your team.

We appreciate your patience during the transition to our latest version. While we’re constantly improving and taking feedback to heart, we understand that it can take time to roll out updates. It’s great to know you’re already seeing benefits from the new interface. Thanks for sharing your experience—it helps us continue to grow and improve.

What do you like best about BrainStorm?

I love the "choose your own adventure" aspect of the new platform. I think the way they present content at a digestible rate makes learning achievable and fun. Also, being an admin of the platform, the management of content in the new platform is way better. I love creating new journeys for my customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrainStorm?

I wish there was a way to bring in an AI element where you could type in your job function, and it would lay out a path of learning for you. Not everyone is good at discovering new content, and this new feature may help. Also, if there was a way for users to become certified or gather real-world qualifications as part of these lesson plans, that would be great, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The platform helps manage our users understanding of the tools we provide at a base level. Not all users are are at the same level and this tool sets a foundation of learning we can expect them to adhere to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BrainStorm?

Besides the support team being stellar to help us implement and develop a strategy, I would say we best like the on-demand training content options. Additionally, BrainStorm stays up to date with updating the content where I don't have to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrainStorm?

I know that the platform we are working with is BrainStorm's "newer" model. With that, there's been some technical hurdles we've had to overcome. Their IT team has been very supportive, but sometimes there are disruptions working on the newer platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

BrainStorm is helping us enable a culture of self-learners. We come from a culture of 'show me how to do X'. This adds overhead and IT Help Desk tickets. We have tools that are rapidly changing and BrainStorm allows folks to stay current and learn on their own time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Savannah Martin of BrainStorm

Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback! 😊 We're thrilled to hear that our support team has been a standout partner in helping you implement and strategize effectively. It is exciting to hear that the on-demand training content and automatic updates are making a difference in your organization.

We appreciate your patience as you navigate the newer platform and are glad our IT team has been there to support you through the technical challenges. Your input is invaluable as we continue to refine and improve.

It’s inspiring to hear how BrainStorm is helping foster a culture of self-learners within your organization. Reducing IT overhead and empowering employees to stay current with rapidly changing tools is exactly what we aim for. Thank you for trusting us to support your team's learning journey!

What do you like best about BrainStorm?

The content and integration with Microsoft products is top-notch. I like that the Courses are sort of like a 'build your own adventure' concept - the tutorials / elearning inside the Courses will ebb and flow based on selections you make throughout the process. Learners can simply be directed to the dashboard / homepage to digest content that was 'assigned' or prioritized for them, or they can easily find content via the search or Discover tools. Support is quick to respond when there are issues and I've found that suggestions and updates and refreshes often reflect ideas and suggestions from customers. Very responsive. Our account rep/manager has always been phenomenal - insanely friendly, forgiving, and resourceful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrainStorm?

It's often overcomplicated for admins. Too many layers sometimes when trying to work through content, assign things, check visibility, etc. Licensing structure is still very difficult to decipher as the replication of assigned users per-pack (their term) is hard to wade through. Licensing is not across the content for active users, so the return there is going to be less than you anticipate (who has 100% consumption rates from internal customers?). If you give someone access to content, they have a license consumed - whether they ever login to the site or not. No way to emulate users and "see what they see" so workarounds exist for some situations so you can mimic what others might experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Provides up to date, user friendly resources, training and events for (mostly) Microsoft products. The choose your own adventure concept for Courses means folks can typically learn just what THEY need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BrainStorm?

I have been a loyal user of the Brainstorm training platform since the days when we relied on printed software cards. Over the years, I have witnessed the evolution and continuous improvement of this remarkable tool, and I can confidently say that Brainstorm is an essential resource for providing effective training on new software.

For companies utilizing M365, Brainstorm is unparalleled in driving user adoption and ensuring that employees are well-equipped to harness the full potential of the software. The platform's comprehensive and engaging training modules make it easy for users to grasp complex concepts and apply them in their daily work.

The newest version of Brainstorm introduces innovative flows that automate and streamline the learning process even further. These flows not only enhance the efficiency of training sessions but also ensure that users can quickly and effectively assimilate new information. On an admin side the platform is very easy to implement and maintain. For any issues Brainstorm provides and excellent customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrainStorm?

Brainstorm continuously improves its software, and we would love to see enhancements in reporting, training reminders, and deadline enforcement that includes supervisors. The newest version is also missing gamification features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Providing an easy to use and frequently updated platfrom for driving adption for our Microsft 365 modern workplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Savannah Martin of BrainStorm

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback! We’re thrilled that BrainStorm has been such a valuable resource for driving user adoption and equipping teams to unlock the full potential of M365. Hearing that the new Flows are making an impact and that the platform is easy to implement for admins is incredible news.

We also appreciate your constructive feedback about reporting, training reminders, and deadline enforcement. These are key areas we’re actively exploring to better support organizations like yours.

Your insight helps us grow and improve, and we’re grateful for your continued partnership.

What do you like best about BrainStorm?

We love that BrainStorm does the work for us. When new products are launched or new functionalities become available, BrainStorm provides the knowledge we need to get us up to speed. Users can easily find what they are looking for, and it's a breeze to share links when users call our service desk for assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrainStorm?

The hardest part for me is understanding the differences among content, course item, course, user journey, skill path, etc. It's just something that has always seemed a little convoluted to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

While our organization employs over 1,000 people, we only have about 10 people dedicated to IT service delivery. We all wear a number of hats, but a full-time trainer isn't one of them. When we launched M365 and moved our data to the cloud in 2020, we needed a way to get our staff up to speed on our new software, tools, and processes. BrainStorm was an integral part of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Savannah Martin of BrainStorm

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled to hear how BrainStorm has made life easier for your team—especially with the heavy lifting around new product launches and helping users find what they need.

We appreciate your candor regarding the content structure. Simplifying and clarifying those differences is something we're actively working on, and your input helps us prioritize improvements. If you'd like, our team is happy to connect and provide additional resources to make navigating BrainStorm even smoother.

It’s inspiring to see how BrainStorm played a role in your organization’s M365 transformation—especially with such a small IT service delivery team! We're proud to have been part of your journey and look forward to continuing to support your success.

Thanks again for sharing your experience!

What do you like best about BrainStorm?

Microlearning videos on virtually any Microsoft application topic that allows users to get the training they need quickly and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrainStorm?

BrainStorm is not a full LMS, so the reporting is a bit lacking when using it in that capacity. However, it has enough to give me the insights I need to manage IT training initiatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are a very small business so the amount of training my team is able to create and maintain is limited. BrainStorm fills in those gaps by continuously creating and updating their materials. I am then able to focus on company-specific information, like our particular SharePoint environment, which is interwoven with BrainStorm content via the Skill Path and User Journey functionality within the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Savannah Martin of BrainStorm

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled to hear how BrainStorm is making a difference for your team, providing quick and efficient training on Microsoft applications. 🙌

We appreciate your note about reporting. Feedback like yours helps us identify opportunities for improvement as we continue to enhance our platform.

It’s inspiring to see how you’ve seamlessly integrated BrainStorm content with your company-specific training, especially for something as vital as your SharePoint environment. We’re proud to be part of your solution, and we’re here to keep supporting your success. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

What do you like best about BrainStorm?

Brainstorm allows us to build custom content and provide relevant training across our organization. The system is easy to use and implement different content types within one training journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrainStorm?

It would be beneficial if Brainstorm synced with our Systems better. We have been working closely with them to get a better-streamlined process to add and remove associates automatically from the system without losing data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Brainstorm has essentially become our organization's LMS, supporting various types of training, from Microsoft and functional training to mandatory compliance courses. The reporting features have made it easy to track training completions, and it serves as a central hub where our associates can easily access the resources they need.
