Gurucan Reviews & Product Details

Nothing, they've completely lost my trust Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Comms have been terrible, roadmap not well communicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really love the sidebar and the huge space they've given to the display of the content. It looks good and focuses on what's most important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software holds a lot of promise, but the first thing I would love to see is scripts being allowed to be implemented. I'd love to insert in my own homework form, my own audio player, my own buttons, etc. I'm afraid I'm too picky for generic buttons or players, I want my course to look as seamless and beautiful as possible.

The upload of the images seems to be a huge oversight, it expands across the whole page no matter what size it is initially, and I had to insert the HTML code of my images instead, hosted by my own site.

The app isn't too useful for me, it's yet another app to download and I prefer that my clients just click a url and go.

Additionally, the way the chapters and lessons are laid out could be better, I dislike the black overlay over the cover photos that is currently the unchangeable default, my course is colourful and I'd like to represent that in the cover photos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the idea of ​​having my courses on the web and in an app. I find it very useful to be able to send push notifications to my students via mobile. I also like the way I can organize content on the smartphone: videos, downloadable pdfs and text. Everything is very accessible and well organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now I cannot embed videos in HTML and have them played in the application, something that I hope they will solve in the short term. At the moment, I am uploading the video lessons to Gurucan's own storage system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Gurucan is that it takes the technical aspect of building a program or course away and makes it easy for non-techy people (like me) to create something which helps me deliver my lessons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is only really one thing which I don't like about the platform, which I am sure will be amended soon. There is only one place to position a dialogue box for the students, which is at the bottom of each lesson. I prefer to place dialogue boxes at various positions on the lesson to get specific feedback on specific parts of my lessons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Building the course content is easy, but in particular I like the potential it has, with the email marketing and the webinar options, which still need to be polished up at the moment, but will be great once they're done with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are still some limitations, like limited payment options, and the UI could be better for creators and students, specifically the navigation. I've heard people have had some problems when hosting videos on Gurucan, but it works great when you use Vimeo for hosting instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the basic features. You can make payments for memberships and courses with Stripe and Paypal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have had a problem with uploading video for over a month now at this writing. I have contacted support and get the very dismissive "we're working on it" for over a month now with no workaround or alternative feature provided. There has been no urgency to get this problem fixed. Meanwhile, other features are being implemented and this core feature has been simply ignored.

I am also disappointed with the ability to have control over the look and feel of the membership area. I can live with this but I would love more flexibility in this area.

If you embed videos from services other than Wistia or Vimeo, it doesn't work on mobile. Unfortunately I can't recommend Gurucan. The features are usable right now but I question their commitment to keep a stable platform that delivers on their core features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gurucan is really one of a kind! It features an intuitive UI, endless possibilities that are neatly packed into the platform. The software is easy to use, has plenty of features that you didn't know you needed till you used it, and the price is way better then competitors. It's a steal! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that it is not available in more languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gurucan has a lot of production leady features which make it very easy to set up one's e-learning academy and running it from one place. Landing page, Course page and CMS are features I like currently. Webinars and Challenges sections are something I'd like to use in the near future. Despite having so many features, the pricing of the tool is very competitive and I specially like the ability to get a whitelabel app for an additional fee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There aren't many features which I dislike but the inability to encrypt videos is one of the things which might make me switch to a competitor in future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gurucan is really versatile tool with its built-in CRM, landing page solutions, LMS solutions and as a cherry on top, the mobile APP. I've tested several different platforms over time and I find Gurucan one of the most versatile and solid tools this far. The customization abilities, branding, subdomains and custom domains give you a perfect way of separating yourself from your competition especially in more competitive areas of business. Their support team is great and whatever problems you might run into setting up your elearning system, they're there to back you up. Definitely a high praise but it's worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the brief use I've had time to put in, I can't really find anything major to dislike. The system seems a bit overwhelming at times because of it's vast list of abilities, but that's hardly a negative factor - more like problem of learning more. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very simple to use.

The developers did a great job.

If one has to manage courses or an online school it is a must have.

It has excellent support, the servers are very fast, and the app is extremely useful.

A plus of this platform is the possibility of doing webinars.

You save money for another subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the possibility that the platform is limited.

In the sense that I would like more HTML control in what I publish or in emails.

The footer is not editable and you cannot add corporate data clearly visible in it.

This is a great imitation, I hope they solve the problem.

Payments are another problem.

They are limited to paypal OR stripe.

You can get around this by creating a page with other payment methods, but it can't be linked.

Update:

A client of mine has problems viewing videos both in the app and in the web version.

I think it's a problem with videos that are too long and heavy and the server can't handle them.

Also, sometimes the site stays down for a few hours.

Finally: over time they have not made any improvements.

My judgment is therefore neutral. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
