Hone Pros and Cons

The two best components when using Hone as a vendor and a product are the customer service and the accessibility. The customer service at Hone is exceptional. With responses within one-business day and tailored responses to very specific asks, you can find nothing better than their customer service team. As for their product, the Hone dashboard and the vast options for asynchronous learning experiences provide optimal avenues to users to freely find courses at their moment of need.

Though Hone provides a vast amount instructor-led courses (around 100), this is the bulk of the asynchronous options you can find in their dashboard. The instructor-led courses are a minimum of one-hour, which may be a hinderous for a vast majority of their users due to work conflicts and prioritization. Hone can improve their user experience by providing more asynchronous learning products such as industry articles, on-demand videos, and more options for people to get content at the moment of need.

They are our partners, collaborators and they continue to impress with ongoing product development, class offerings, and more.

How responsive our designated representative is. He not only helps us if we need something, but is constantly looking at our company usage and how we can improve engagement, and tailor to our specific business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that can be slightly inconvenient, is updating employee information if not using an HRIS feed, and even when doing so. (changing reporting manager, title, ending access, etc.) This isn't a deal-breaker by any means, but is a bit more manual in nature. Hone is always there to help take care of these changes for us.

It has a very large array of courses, in different time zones/times of the day. With easy scheduling and rescheduling when work meetings come up. It's also really easy to browse, find and discover different courses that might be of interest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly the only thing I dislike is that I need to make more time in my schedule for learning! Once or twice I've been paired up with people in break out groups where the conversation hasn't exactly been directly beneficial to me personally, but those have been opportunities to practice mentorship, active listening and other skills in those settings. Connecting with people from a variety of contexts and different business backgrounds is very fun and hugely enlightening, even if it doesn't pertain to my everyday.

Hone's hands/face-on approach to virtual learning with group breakout sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found anything to dislike about Hone, but if I could choose between in-person and virtual learning, I'll choose in-person each time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked learning from a live instructor about a topic of my choice. It was great learning a few principles and then breaking off with a peer to discuss them and practice it with a real scenario. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I took 4 classes and some of the concepts were somewhat basic and obvious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hone's platform was seamlessly integrated into our organizational processes. The site itself is intuitive and easy to navigate. Additionally, their library of courses isn't overwhelmingly vast to the point that it's difficult to determine which courses would best suit the skill gaps of your learning cohorts. Our learners have derived significant value in not only developing the skills taught in Hone's classes but also in participating in the breakout sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While their library of content isn't overwhelming, there are times when I find myself wishing for just a bit more variety in their courses. An added bonus would be to bring some course content customization options to the Hone membership. Lastly, having a few more class dates/times and allow learners to see who within their organization will be attending a specific class iteration would be fantastic.
