What do you like best about Qstream?

1. Qstream is a unique platform that imparts knowledge to the participants along with imparting knowledge as well. The participants can check their competence level on a particular topic, at the same time they get explanation on that topic as well.

2. It is an error free platform, after using for almost a year, never came across any technical glitches.

3. The reports generated are quite insightful, and gives you flexibility of analyzing the results as you want. It can be done question wise, score wise, participant wise, therapy wise, you name it and it is there.

4. The another great feature of Qstream is you can categorize the questions in different heads that enables you to analyze the way you want after completion of the quiz.

5. We get wonderful support from the admin (Cathal) in guiding and downloading customized reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qstream?

The downside of Qstream is the timelimit cannot be fixed like if I want to assign quiz to participants and I want the timelimit to complete the quiz is 30 mins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Qstream is helpful in resolving the problem of explaining the participants that why a particular answer is correct or incorrect. The option of explanation is already there that we need to upload while preparing the questions. It also gives the option of uploading any pic/reference points etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kayla Sheldon of Qstream

Hi Brajesh, thank you for your review and we're glad that Cathal has been such a big help with reporting. The answer explanations are where the learning and reinforcement happens so it's important to have a strong explanation that includes text, images, video and other multimedia.

What do you like best about Qstream?

I like that the service team was basically there with me every step of the way. They are very responsive. When it comes to the actual tool, I love that my audience is able to see how they fare compared to their colleagues, I also love the ability to have speed questions and visual impact and repeat questions to ensure that knowledge is retained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qstream?

Because I had never used Qstream before, I was overwhelmed at first at all that i had to consider. The format in which to send my questions, the sources of the responses. I just was concerned about ease of integration and timeline . it seemed i need a lot of lead time to allow for programming etc. but in the end, the service team was able to make it all happen and I was able to deliver a Quiz to my audience in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem we are looking to solve is to ensure that the sales force is well educated on complex data prior to launch of a product. Before our reps are in the field and talking with their customers they need to know the data inside and out. Having a Qstream makes learning fun and ensures retention. Reading pages and pages of data is not a good way to retain dry information.

in terms of ease of use from the audience POV it is extremely easy and fun.It is accessible on phones so that reps dont need to wait to be home to do it, they can do it while they wait to see a customer.

I dont know about the price, since our global team is footing the bill. Which means for me, it not only a great tool, it is very valuable since it is zero cost to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kayla Sheldon of Qstream

Hi Mylene, thank you for your review! We are happy to hear the positive experience you've had with the Qstream team and that your sales force can easily engage with training in the field.

What do you like best about Qstream?

I love that Qstream is designed 100% around the science of learning - and not just the "needs" of administrators or companies. We've been using Qstream for over 4 years now and have rarely encountered any issues. It was super easy to implement our learning objectives and content into the Qstream system and the team's customer support has been incredibly helpful anytime we needed assistance.

Users find the spaced repetition & learning to be very mobile friendly and highly engaging. Convenient push notifications & competitive leaderboard standings encourage both daily learning and long-term results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qstream?

The backend API options and support could be bolstered to allow for more integrations with other applications or software. It would also be helpful to have more control over an entire groups' notification settings on the administrative side - rather than having to individually alter users weekend notification settings for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For us, Qstream enables general surgery residents and medical students to access daily high-yield review questions that help prepare them for their surgical exams and medical boards. Traditional question banks enable learners to cram or mass practice - but Qstream brings the science of learning into their exam prep practices now and really has been a remarkable study tool for surgeons across the nation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kayla Sheldon of Qstream

Hi Jason,

Thank you for your review. The science is crucial and we couldn't agree with you more. We're glad to hear about your success over the past 4 years and wish you continued success with Qstream!

What do you like best about Qstream?

Qstream is extremely useful in our global business environement. If offers me an easy way to reach my target audience learners quickly, with fresh content that does not take ages to produce. It is amazingly efficient way of refresh earlier learnings or rollout totally new learning program. I like the data analytics that if offers about proficiency mapping, engagement statistics, and coaching opportunity for managers. Learners like because you only need to use few minutes every now and the for learning and many enjoy also of the competitive edge. One key advantage is that it is fully integrated into mobile devices and user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qstream?

If I could choose, I would like to have more opportunities for company admin of QStream to set some basic settings for QStream -for example allocate more manager role persons for one participant. That would be helpful specifically in our global setting when people can have local and regional manager - and it would be great to have both managers to see progress of team members and be able to support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With QStream it is easy for me to deliver microlearning training programs for my global audience. It is quick to use both for admin and learner. Earlier we did not have any such microlearning tool in our use that would allow such a flexibility. It also creates a bit of hype because of leaderboard, and it would feel like community when people are clearly inside same program/challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Qstream?

I really like the instruction on improving my question writing skills, I found that so helpful.

The metrics is also really useful so that I can look at participation and knowledge retention. I haven't fully got integrated with the whole Qstream program yet I am just learning. I have only submitted 2 groups of questions so far. Though I like what I am seeing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Qstream?

I do not dislike anything I find the word documents time consuming but thats it I think an interactive platform where we could log in directly enter the questions would be less time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Qstream?

Qstream is a fun and competitive way to reinforce learning, especially on topics that can be dry like compliance and systems training. Our reps and managers are quite competitive and this tool has helped us in so many ways! They also have a new resource to make sure the questions are asked in a way that makes the most sense. They also partner with other vendors we use and this has helped us tremendously as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
