What do you like best about Skillsoft?

We saw a wide variety of learning modules, videos, reading, and other opportunities to easily incorporate into learning packages for our users. We always saw new and exciting learnings being added, and if something was to be retired, we received plenty of notice so we could arrange replacement or removal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration with our LMS left much to be desired as the completion data wasn't automated. That may have been more on our LMS' side, but I'd like to see a more comprehensive integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Skillsoft?

That the app is amicable and also it has everything accommodated just as one needs to for training and making lessons to new hires or employees so they can learn new information on an easy way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillsoft?

Percipio is limited in the training part, it shows you everything and all your lessons to do and gives you reminders, but once you finish with that, there's not much to do on the platform as a user Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In a company, as for processes and deliveries, you need to be up dragging almost everything all the time, so this way is really usefull to accomplish that the employees know the new ways to do things or new features and to understand how to use them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The overall daskboard is very easy to work around and helps you find what you are looking for. Online courses is the best part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Skillsoft?

Free for me as a company employee, high-quality training materials on a ton of subjects. Nice videos. Decent access to books. I like that there are both hard and soft skill resources and the breadth and depth of subjects covered is impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Skillsoft?

I think a sleeker interface could be a beneficial area of improvement. Sometimes, there's only access to audiobook versions. At least let me access a transcript. For all the excellent training materials I can access, there is very little to introduce me to new or highlighted materials. Highlight a pick of the month or something. Tell me what the hottest skills or videos are. Significant developments or new materials? Showcase them!

Looking up specific problems is where Percipio could be improved. It’d be great to have a newbie friendly Q & A area with instructors or other learners. Other sites community sites like stackexchange are not very welcoming to new users. Or some sort of advanced search that you can look up a specific problem (which happens often with software) and Percipio will point you to the correct resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Skillsoft:

Great for general learning, great resources to check out, a large selection. Not as helpful for specific problems you may run into while learning or working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Whenever I want to brush up on my skills or wish to improve them in a general area, Percipio is a good resource. It's great for general learning/knowledge if you have free time. I'm new, so I currently have plenty. Great for some specific topics too, when you know what you're looking for. The problem solved are usually like "I want to improve my skills in xxx", rarely a specific problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
