We had never had eLearning development opportunities available at our fingertips, so this was a very exciting investment for our employees. We utilize UKG Pro Learning Management system and OpenSesame content is easily integrated into our learning system. We are starting year 2 of our contract and have seen a steady, upward trend from our 3,000+ employee users. Feedback we have received about our content includes appreciation the variety of content offered and the ease of use. Our OpenSesame Customer Success Team has also been instrumental in our initial success! I can't say enough positives about them. Overall, we are very pleased with our OpenSesame experience. We look forward to another great year of development in 2024! **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** Right now, I can't think of any downsides to using OpenSesame, as we are only in our second year of usage. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** OS is not really solving problems for us, They are helping us provide new DEI content, leadership content, and overall general business skills, in which, we had very minimal hands on learning available. ### 3.

It's super easy to navigate, and I love sharing lists with the team. It was super easy to implement and everyone who received an account had an easy integration process. I use it regularly as we get requests for more content from different teams. **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** I wish there were more technology-specific course content/trainings. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** It has really helped us with courses that are quick fixes and also those that align with laws for different workplace compliance rules, as we have locations in multiple states.

We appreciate that. We also appreciate the thoroughness of our Customer Success Manager Brenna Behnke. Brenna cares and she is always concerned about how we can maximize the OpenSesame catalog in our Learning and Development environment. She is attentive, reliable, and she is a big part of why OpenSesame is helping our Stratas Foods employees get the learning courses that they need the most. **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** Nothing. OpenSesame is provide a great service. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** OpenSesame is providing a high level of eLearning content that not only satisfies our regulatory and compliance requirements, but also invigorates our employees need to learn other topics such as Leadership.

They have a wide variety of categories of training available which enables us to support the learning and development needs of a diverse team. I also appreciate that I can have SMEs in our company review courses before adding them to our LMS. This makes it easier for a learning and development professional. Integrating the courses into the LMS is straightforward and easy to do. **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** The integration with our LMS is new and has had some bumps. They continue to get ironed out and I appreciate the collaboration our LMS and OpenSesame do to resolve the issues when they do arise. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** We need a variety of off-the-shelf content to help diverse team members grow and develop in their roles. OpenSesame has very professionally developed content using a variety of training modalities which keeps learners engaged. I compared multiple vendors when we selected OpenSesame for our curated content needs and they were hands down the best that we found. ### 6. One stop shop **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2024 **What do you like best about OpenSesame?** The team you get to work with for customer service is a huge benefit of the platform. The flexibility to have custom content created is wonderful. The website is easy to navigate. There is also no waiting period to get the content you need over to your LMS. **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** At this time, there is nothing to dislike about OpenSesame. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** We do not have any problems right now! ### 7. Great Content- Even Better Customer Service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2024 **What do you like best about OpenSesame?** I'm most grateful to my customer success manager, Kelly Robinson! Although we are in entirely different time zones, she always makes time for my questions and curates thoughtful business reviews each quarter. Kelly is responsive, a life-long learner, and a fantastic partner in curating incredible resources for our team. **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** SCORM file uploads are arduous in our current LMS. I wish there were a better integration. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** They have relevant, vetted content that offers upskilling, reskilling, and certification opportunities. ### 8. Tons of content, great service team. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ilena M. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2024 **What do you like best about OpenSesame?** It's easy to search through the course catalog, and easy to download courses we need. If there's something I can't find or don't have time to curate, OpenSesame's curation team will assist with sourcing. **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** A lot of the courses doesn't have reviews, which can make it a gamble when trying to select which course will fit your needs. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** OpenSesame is where we get probably 80% of our learning content, and 98% of our content that isn't created internally. It allows us to focus internally on delivering learnings that are unique to our business, and bring content that's less specialized or more general in for our employees. ### 9. Very client oriented **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2024 **What do you like best about OpenSesame?** My CRM is amazing, she is always trying to help me find new ways to make learning with OpenSesame easy for my employees **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** I dont have anything that I dislike about OpenSesame. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a small company, so having video to help out with the learning and talent developpement. Management training, situational training, even specialisation like Project Managers and Lean Six Sigma are thing that is a ''bonus'' to our program. ### 10.

Review of Open Sesame **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Broadcast Media | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2024 **What do you like best about OpenSesame?** Customer Success Manager is brilliant. Always on hand to provide support and guidance. The depth and breadth of content is also a huge benefit, meaning we're never without a solution. **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** Due to being a global organisation, we would always benefit from additional language options on content, although I notice this is always improving with OpenSesame. Additionally, it would be handy for system admins to preview an entire course before downloading it, in order to fully understand appropriateness. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** OpenSesame provides us with learning solutions for all of our mandatory & compliance needs, from GDPR to health & safety, to code of conduct. This enables much more engaging and relevant learning experiences for our people to maximise the transfer of learning, whilst reducing costs vs us buying each course individually. Additionally, OpenSesame serves as a means for us to develop management and leadership capability within the organisation, through online self-directed courses, as well as having courses blended in with live experiences around the businesses. Finally, the content has been essential to our awareness raising initiatives around DEI, including recently launching new DEI policies with accompanying learning. ### 13. The best customer service experience one could ask for! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Priscilla A. | Assistant Vice President - Global Talent , Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2024 **What do you like best about OpenSesame?** My association with OpenSesame started when I joined my company in 2021. What I immediately liked about it was the ability to curate topics that are relevant for our learners instead of bombarding them with the entire catalog. Since then until today, Neville who is the customer success manager from OpenSesame who handles our account has ensured that he's always prompt with his responses, solution oriented, does a quarterly periodic review of our learner metrics and keeps us posted on the new additions to their library which is quite helpful in leveraging it efficiently. **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** While I do like the curation model, on occasion due to the ever changing business landscape I feel like it might be nice if our learners had access to the entire library instead of us deciding what's best to add into our LMS. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** Getting the latest, engaging, relevant content to our learners across the business, leadership, compliance, regulatory, behavioural categories ### 14. I wish all companies I work with were as great as OpenSesame! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julie D. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 01, 2024 **What do you like best about OpenSesame?** OS provides fantastic content and a wide variety of options. The best thing about OpenSesame is the Content Curation team! I love that I can give them a topic and some guidelines and they go to work to find several options that I can choose from. They always find exactly what I need. **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** Honestly, there isn't anything I dislike. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a small L&D team and a small Instructional Design team. OpenSesame allows us to fill gaps by providing off-the-shelf content that is ready now to meet the needs of our business. We use OS content for required "compliance" learning, leadership development, personal development and DEI initiatives. OS content is a big part of all of our programs. ### 15. Incredible catalog of content for personal and professional growth **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2024 **What do you like best about OpenSesame?** I like that the catalog of content contains such an incredible variety of content, from personal and professional growth topics, to business lines, to really niche and specific skillsets. As a small L&D team, we love being able to partner closely with a Content Curation team to help us select the right courses for our organization. We see them as an extension of our L&D team and they help make our work so much easier, ensuring we're getting the right content for our folks that aligns to our learning preferences and needs! We love that we can pull Ted Talks, book reviews, full courses for leadership or shorter micro-learnings. **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** Most of the content can be really "traditional" - Rise courses, interactive click-throughs, powerpoints that scroll by themselves, etc. But that's kind of the nature of the beast for L&D right now. In general, our options for styles of learning content is pretty limited. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are a small team of two and don't have the time to create our own content, so we lean heavily on the content provided by OpenSesame to build our programs (leadership development, personal and professional growth, skill building). ### 16. Precision for Medicine - Business Partner feedback **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Laszlo P. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2024 **What do you like best about OpenSesame?** The variety of course offerings and the customer support is very fast. **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** It is not about disliking, just one quick feedback. Rarely the support team tries to be too fast and may interpret the reported issues inadequately. The case is still solved, but may require 2-3 additional rounds of e-mail exchange to clarify the details. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** The corporate compliance training courses and some soft and technical skills trainings. These are essential to our company from legal perpectives and productivity when it is about the soft and technical skills training courses. ### 17. good service, extremely helpful **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Administration | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2024 **What do you like best about OpenSesame?** the amount of courses, can always find what is needed and customer support is excellent. **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** can't think of anything, the integration between our LMS sometimes is slow. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** can easily find the courses we need for our staff which was difficult before ### 18. Great content, lots of choices, and very supportive team members! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Janice S. | VP, Learning & Development, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2024 **What do you like best about OpenSesame?** I love the amount of content they have to offer. You can truly find content covering almost any topic and with multiple choices, you aren't stuck with just one piece of content. There are several in every category (it seems) so you can find the one that is the most suitable for your organization. **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** Nothing so far. We've been very pleased with all aspects! **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** We do not want to make our own content when it comes to compliance-related classes - sexual harassment, drug-free workplace, OSHA, etc. - and OpenSesame helps us satisfy those requirements without any heavy lifting on our side. ### 19. Great Content, Super Customer Experience! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Manufacturing | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2024 **What do you like best about OpenSesame?** It's easy to search and curate OpenSesame courses to customize for your organization. In the last 3 years, OpenSesame has constantly added new quality content publishers with great content and interactive design. With a small L&D team, it is nice to have the great customer support provided by the CSM, Neville, and the OpenSesame curation team. It is a value for the money spent. **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** I know that work is in progress. It would be nice to have more OpenSesame courses available in multiple languages audio/subtitles translated into each course. This will be beneficial for global companies. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helping us to quickly curate e-learning courses by skills, competency, and hot topics. They are then uploaded into our learning management system with ease and speed. ### 20.

Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ashlee N. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2024 **What do you like best about OpenSesame?** Easy to use. Wide range of course offerings that meet the needs of our learners at our organization. The follow up when we have a question is so quick. **What do you dislike about OpenSesame?** There is not a lot of content for higher up leadership like Directors or VPs. I don't like that it is not a requirement for all publishers have closed captions on their videos. We value having closed captions so it is accessible to everyone. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have given feedback on providing more content for upper managment and they have added it to their gap tracker. ### 23.

I am confident the materials will be made available to me once they find a suitable source. **What problems is OpenSesame solving and how is that benefiting you?** OpenSesaem provides a baseline of content on all of our needs other that specific technical topics. ### 24.
