What do you like best about Wisetail (including former PlayerLync)?

Overall, Wisetail is easy to use for an LMS. It's easy to upload training materials and documents. When issues do arise (because they will with any technology) Wisetail solves the problem quickly and is very responsive. We love working with Tyler as our account rep and have built a great working relationship with him. He's always available and lets us know if he's out of office and who we can contact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wisetail (including former PlayerLync)?

Wisetail is constantly upgrading and releasing new updates. When they launched OnTrack (an additional cost add on), it seemed that more of their concentration went to that and product releases for their main site slowed down.

We are a large franchise organization and it can be difficult navigating that with all the permissioning that needs to be done. The permissioning can be very cumbersome.

I also wish that our regional directors could see all their locations training completions easier. We have had to build out reports in PowerBI to accommodate our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wisetail (including former PlayerLync) solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a business, we had an issue being able to quickly send out training to our Team Members and Wisetail has made that easy for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wisetail (including former PlayerLync)?

Almost everything! The 1:1 support we recieve from our Accout Manager, Brittany, is top notch. The UI for end users is terrific. I'm glad they made significant upgrades to their word processor for creating learning modules and other content. The flexiblity to assign user groups across all of our franchises is super handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wisetail (including former PlayerLync)?

The reporting functionality is truly abysmal. I am not saying that to be dramatic. Especially for test reporting, the reporting that lives within the LMS is nearly unusable. Anytime I talk to anyone about Wisetail, I unfortunately have to say something along the lines of "it's fantastic, but if you're in the hunt for good reporting, look elsewhere." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wisetail (including former PlayerLync) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wisetail enables us to seemlessly provide learning and development content and resources across all of our franchise operators in the US and Canada. This has significantly increased our adoption of best practices and improved our bottom line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Incentivized Review
What do you like best about Wisetail (including former PlayerLync)?

The people at Wisetail were fantastic. From the CEO down to the newest customer service rep, we consistently had very positive interactions with them. They were generally prompt in returning emails and calls and overall customer service was definitely an excellent strength. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wisetail (including former PlayerLync)?

Almost every code update would break something. We were a Wisetail client from the very early days of the platform (version 4 I believe) until 2020 and the overall instability ultimately drove us away. Things were always broken and their code base wasn't solid enough to fix things easily. Add to that frustration the literal years that went by without a feature update as they kept selling from one investor to the next. Now that they've landed at a long-term owner, I'm hopeful they can recover and get back to the solid company they began as. In talking to current clients (as of June 2022), they still have not reached a place of stability. It is definitely a platform for small companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wisetail (including former PlayerLync):

They need more time to develop. Keep looking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wisetail (including former PlayerLync) solving and how is that benefiting you?

They provided a great "first" LMS for us, but what began as a cutting-edge platform quickly fell behind to be barely the middle of the pack. One strength the platform always had was the ability to deeply customize how a course/module was laid out for the learner. The overall flexibility of look and feel for the platform was and still is great. But the features, especially in reporting, were lacking to the point that we had to switch. That was in 2020 though and they have great people so hopefully it's improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
