You will be happy with the product, product support and service level provided.
Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost. Our organization has been using Grovo for 2 months. Reporting had a few bugs – nothing major. No,…

While LinkedIn Learning is strong overall, there are a few areas where it could improve to make the experience even better. More interactive learning would be beneficial. Adding live sessions or discussion forums for real-time interaction with instructors and peers could make learning more engaging. Currently, all the courses are recorded, and nothing is happening live. There should be something more interesting that could help with better engagement if there were live sessions. Better customization for organizations would also help. While learning paths exist, more tailored options for specific industries could be beneficial. The content needs to be a bit more localized, with more regional-specific examples and case studies to make courses feel relevant globally. For example, even though I am sitting in the UK and doing a course in the UK, most of the examples are related to the United States or other regions. Different markets have different scenarios and challenges, so it is hard to correlate. One of the main things LinkedIn Learning could improve is adding live sessions. Currently, everything on LinkedIn Learning is recorded, and nothing is happening live. I think this has an engagement effect. Sometimes when I am doing training or completing a course, the recordings are from 2020 or 2021, which is a bit old. A lot has changed in three to four years. Interactive features such as live question-and-answer sessions, hands-on projects, deeper analytics, and better integration with tools such as Microsoft or project management could make it a ten. Some of the data needs to be updated more frequently. There are some courses that, for example, in project management or negotiation, which are fields that evolve every day, but a few of the courses are from 2022 or 2021 and have not been updated. More updates are required as time is moving and we are moving toward more artificial intelligence.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Distributing quiz content alongside video and ability to upload documents are the most valuable features."
"Valuable features are customizable learning tracks, and single sign on."
"I appreciate the flexibility that the new Instructor Led Training offers, and visual graphics for tracking users, etc."
"Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us."
"Customer Service: AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. It's a huge reason why we decided to go with Grovo."
"One of the things I love about LinkedIn Learning and how I use it with clients is the flexibility of how to customize the recommendations so clients can get the most learning."
"From a career standpoint, it has definitely helped me move up the ladder."
"What I appreciate most about LinkedIn Learning is that it is easy to understand, user-friendly, and the concepts are clarified very nicely with examples, anecdotes, and other elements."
"I use it to learn more about topics that interest me, going through courses while I'm on my elliptical, turning on courses I find interesting, and continuing with them the next day."
"What I appreciate about LinkedIn Learning is that it's generally easy to follow, though this depends on the instructor, and there's an ability to fast forward or rewind for 10 seconds, so if you miss something, it's easy to have it repeated so it can sink in."
"Very good and top class video tutorials."
"Mainly the videos were very illustrative."
"The user interface of LinkedIn Learning platform is great and the visuals are of phenomenal quality; they are professionally done, and I find it very rich."
 

Cons

"I look forward to the capability of putting materials in folders by category...as currently the long list of modules is daunting."
"Bulk video upload is a must."
"I think a lot of the things agreed on or promised in the initial sales discussion are proving to be more difficult or do not work the way we understood them to now that we are in set up mode."
"Grouping and assigning trainings. Also, would like another admin layer built into the product."
"Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost."
"It doesn't provide enough practice tests to write, say, a CISSP exam, so I have had to go external to get those exam tests to be able to study."
"One area that LinkedIn Learning could improve is by adding more variety of training in cybersecurity."
"Sometimes the courses felt staid and rigid, and it is only one format."
"I would rate their support a one out of ten. I definitely wouldn't use it unless someone tells me it's vastly improved."
"I would not say LinkedIn Learning is economical, but I find that for the benefits it provides, especially when I aim for a serious upskill or job shift, it is worth the money I spend."
"There could be more quizzes and short tests to help viewers retain information."
"Maybe a pause in the course to give the audience the opportunity to work a little bit more with the exercise files would be an improvement in LinkedIn Learning."
"I don't like how the interactive quizzes in LinkedIn Learning are structured because many courses require you to pass the quizzes to move to the next one."
