Schoox Erfahrungen

Learning Spanish!

Kommentare: It’s a great experience and I am learning a lot from it

Vorteile:

I can learn Spanish on the go! Just one of the things this app is offering. I can do so much more training for work and helps me get into a college once I’m ready

Nachteile:

Just a little slow.. sometimes it crashes after I log in. But the concept is great.

Great education platform

Kommentare: I was resistant to a new online learning platform but i have grown to appreciate the functionality of Schoox and the ability to universally train employees.

Vorteile:

The fact that everything is accessible on one website and dashboard makes this software easy to use and learn.

Nachteile:

Learning curve was a bit hard but once i played with it for a while it's become second nature. Just make sure you walk employees through the first go.

A mid-range LMS with limited features.

Kommentare: It's a lower mid-range LMS. I've implemented or administered over 7 different LMS's for organizations. It lacks in so many features, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, except someone who wanted a cheap, limited featured product.
Plan on attempting plenty of workarounds to make things happen.

Vorteile:

Fairly easy to use in basic functions, like adding a user, course, etc. Simplified LMS. A basic LMS in every respect.

Nachteile:

Lacked many mainstream features like grandfathering credit for courses when new versions come out. Everything had to be loaded into the "warehouse" first and you couldn't delete anything from it, like older versions, etc. Limited search capability for users and user maintenance.

Solid LMS Option

Kommentare: I have been using Schoox for about 18 months. It was a nearly brand new system when I first started with the Company. It has proven to be an excellent resource, easily adapted and leveraged for a variety of learning solutions, and occasionally even helpful outside of a traditional LMS use case.

Vorteile:

Easy to use, easy to track compliance/completion, user-friendly interface, social/gamification tools have been popular with end users.

Nachteile:

Doesn't adapt as well outside of the traditional learning management system functions, although I appreciate that they even dabble in those spaces (for example, tracking coaching sessions).

The best by far!

Kommentare: Schoox has transformed our company's training department. It is great having a system that is very easy to use and cell phone compatible.

Vorteile:

Schoox is a game-changer when it comes to training. It easily integrated with Aloha and HotSchedules making it a must-have for anyone in the F&B, hospitality, or family entertainment industries. I love the many features and new ones that are added all the time. It is intuitive for the end-user and as an administrator, I find the system relatively easy to master. Whenever I do have an issue, the customer support is spot on.

Nachteile:

Very little cons. I wish some of the settings were better defined.

Too expensive for what you get

Kommentare: The company I worked for was looking to train and track training for remote workers

Vorteile:

It was easy to deploy and integrate into SharePoint

Nachteile:

For the cost, the software was hard to use and required authoring software

Always Schoox'n it!

Kommentare: We use Schoox and have over a year now once you learn how to navigate and understand each courses setting it's easy least!

Vorteile:

All course work in same place all our training is checked off as it's completed and tells you the percent still needed on each course

Nachteile:

Navigation could be much easier it's confusing the first few logins

More fun and strategic learning

Kommentare: It allows for a more strategic way of teaching without becoming boring and not having enough attention

Vorteile:

Many times, training sessions become boring and do not have the necessary attention from employees to learn everything that the training is intended to teach. Schoox has been the perfect tool to have training sessions in a more fun way, but strategically everything is well designed to have the full attention of employees and for them to learn the knowledge

Nachteile:

There is nothing that I do not like, all its tools work perfectly

Schoox - User Friendly

Kommentare: Schoox helps build professionals easily and efficiently due to their platform set up.

Vorteile:

The variety of training options given to us for Schoox. The list goes on of all different learnings.

Nachteile:

There are no downsides to Schoox as it is easy to use and the allows for quick accurate results for all searches or needs.

Really Poor Support, Functionality is lacking

Vorteile:

I am able to log in and use the program pretty easily. Lots of the company i work with has files up there to view and watch.

Nachteile:

They have no support, they push it back to the company level, but then add nothing. There are errors on the website that they don't acknowledge. When I finish a course many times i don't get credit. They can't explain how the leader board works and when I prove there is an error in the listing they blame it on others. They have not responded to several emails about website issues. They are really a poorly run company wiht poor support and even poorer leadership

Great Training Host and Tracking Functions

Kommentare: Years of experience after switching from another training host with my previous company.

Vorteile:

Training management made simple. Progress tracking and followup is great. Actual video streaming function worked great. 4.5*

Nachteile:

No interactive video function, just click play and watch. Videos could be "skipped" by dragging the time bar forward. -1/2 star

Decent Enough

Kommentare: We use it at work for training. The app doesn't give me reminders or anything. And your progress isn't saved well and you have to start over alot.

Vorteile:

It is easy enough to create trainings and modules. The modules go away when completed.

Nachteile:

The organization and alerts. Modules aren't easy to find sometimes. The navigation sucks.

Best LMS Software

Kommentare: Schoox is a reliable tool for managing training programs. It is very flexible to learning and implementing.

Vorteile:

Schoox offers best course customization options and it is very user friendly for all.

Nachteile:

The speed of usability was bit slow and want some more features.

Easy to use, but lots to master

Kommentare: Great system as long as you either have a learning direction and philosophy established or are open to whatever the consultant you hire to implement suggests. Not great for those who have a wishy washy learning vision or indecisive team.

Vorteile:

End user interface is clean and easy to navigate through. The mobile app is one of the better LMS mobile apps around. Our employees did their training primarily through the application on their mobile devices. Approximately 85% mobile adoption. A really nice feature is the ability to set parameters around hourly employees and when they can access the system. We have a large hourly workforce and it is nice to be able to restrict access to the learning content to work hours or to be able to give each team member a bucket of paid off hour time to use to learn. This feature alone helped us incentivize growth and development learning while staying compliant with labor laws and finance liked it for budgets. Out of the box reporting was simple and basic, but it had a built in Google analytics connection. We just connected to our Google analytics account and aggregated the data into our BI tools for advanced reporting. Administration was simple and straight forward, but had lots of features that someone truly creative could run with. We ran a our company-wide mentoring program through the system. It also connects with quite a few HRIS systems so our team members where always up to date. I would recommend and use again. Has an excelent content store for easy purchase and download of "filler" content.

Nachteile:

The organizational set up takes a bit to get used to, but once you are it is not overly complex. You mind as well turn off the search bar feature. You have a better chance of asking a magic eight ball where to find specific content. You will not need the search feature if you build your learning content correctly and use smart tagging conventions. E.G bundle content into courses and courses into curriculum, On-boarding, or career development. Our motto became "no content left behind" If its not in a course its not in our system.

We get to say "Yes, we can do that!"

Kommentare: Long story short, we are a large quick-service restaurant chain and were unhappy with our LMS provider and looking for a change. Our old system was archaic, difficult to use, and the reporting wasn't serving our needs. During the search for a new vendor, schooX was the only one that said in their presentation that an LMS should be "elegant" and that really caught our attention because at the time we felt that many providers didn't "get it" that systems should be easy to use for all users. We've been on schooX for a year now and so far it has been a fantastic system to use. Everything from the technical capabilities to the administrative functions make it a breeze to implement training quickly. From an instructional design perspective it is very easy to push courses out to learners and the built-in assessment engine has allowed us to get away from SCORM which has always been a headache. Overall the system is also easy to administer and the majority of our questions we receive in tech support are clerical and really have nothing to do with schooX. When we do have an issue though the schooX support team is very responsive and works on resolutions quickly.

Vorteile:

In no particular order: - Depth of reporting, you can slice and dice information in many different ways directly in the system - Dynamic 3D reporting structure, we're a large company with a complicated franchise structure and schooX was the only one able to actually replicate our org structure - Easy to administer from an enterprise perspective. We have about 31,000 users and can support the system with less than 40 hours a week - Constant development on new features. The schooX developers actively listen to their clients and work to implement features that would make the system better to use. - Friendly support staff - Rapid rapid rapid!! creation of courses. As long as you have your content ready to go (be it SCORM, PDF, movie files, PowerPoint presentations, websites, etc.) you can very quickly stitch them into a course with each piece of content serving as a lecture. You can then go into the quizzing engine and create some nice assessments to go along with them. - The best thing is we get to say to our departments/learners "Yes, we can do that!" when it comes to training. So many times in the past we had to say "No, we can't push training to just this group or have this feature because of X Y Z." With schooX we can find a way to do just about anything. - Mobile learning is very simple with the schooX app

Nachteile:

Originally when we adopted the system they didn't have all of the enterprise features that we needed such as marking courses complete, merging users, and daily user imports. They have fixed these and continue to implement new features which is good.

Great software but not for the novice.

Kommentare: Schoox has been great for us overall. We have used it primarily for onboarding new hires up to this point, but we will eventually build out more continuing education modules within the system. It definitely took some time to figure out how to use, but the Schoox staff was great and always available. Our initial training with them was a screen share session followed by many phone calls and emails. Anytime we have a question they will always eagerly provide assistance. The HotSchedules integration was a huge selling point for us and has been great.

Vorteile:

Schoox is full of features and functions like tracking and reporting, but the best thing we liked about Schoox is its complexity and ability to grow with us as our company grows. We can make it as small or big as we want it. It also integrates with HotSchedules which was a huge selling point for us.

Nachteile:

When we decided to formalize our training program, I was tasked with the initial build-out. I am by no means a Learning and Development Manager, so I had a hard time figuring out how to use Schoox. We had played around with Talent LMS and I found it to be much simpler for the novice yet not as customizable as Schoox. The final choice to go with Schoox came from us understanding we needed to hire a L&D Manager eventually who would know how to use it better than me, which we did. Now all is well, but be warned this is not likely a software that can be learned casually by a novice.

Future Potential, But Painful Present

Kommentare: Our organization is truly attempting to incorporate and adopt a culture of learning. I fear we are in jeopardy of compromising our efforts due to our inability to rely on Schoox to perform effectively. I believe if the technical issues could be resolved, we can still leverage Schoox to achieve our mission. There have been many things that I have found that I love about the Schoox system. I truly would love to have a long term partnership, but the problems are currently outweighing the benefits.

Vorteile:

The user interface is pretty good. Our users love how easy it is to navigate the system. Most tasks are pretty simple to complete. Re-versioning content is a breeze! As long as you have a clear vision for your organization's hierarchy and content layout, you will be able to effectively set up the system.

Nachteile:

Support is very bad! We have had bad experiences with notifications and recently I received a notification that I was terminated from our academy. I also received a notification that a former employee has added me to our academy, but I am still receiving error messages when I attempt to access. I have now been unable to access the system and have had no immediate assistance from any of my support channels. Needless to say, as a super admin in the system and the Training Manager of the organization, not being able to access the system is a MAJOR problem. Although the user interface is very nice, administration tasks are inconsistent at best. I don't like having to depend on the Schoox team to fix and adjust things on the back-end. Quite honestly, I am concerned with the systems integrity and I am not fond of other entities have 'back door' access to our system.

Experience with Schoox

Kommentare: I would not recommend the Schoox product at all.

Vorteile:

There were lots of extra features and the tool was trying to be innovative.

Nachteile:

There was zero support when you needed help. Integration with Hotschedules was very glitchy and inaccurate. We constantly had functionality issues and there were frequent system outages.

Schoox is the best

Vorteile:

Easy to ues, easy implementation, fantastic customer support!!

Nachteile:

I can not think of anything. seriously. we love Schoox

The best LMS system in the world!

Kommentare: Schoox is an awesome, seamless software and its support team is top-notch in regards to knowledge.

Vorteile:

I implement this product for my company. I love it, in every way. From Course Creation, Automatic Assignment Rules, Curriculum creation, SCORM/AICC upload, content management, CEU credits management, On the Job Training, In Class Training, and exam creation, this tool has it all. It is easy for companies who never had a prior LMS as well as those coming from another system.

Nachteile:

The only con for this software would be in its Poll/Survey feature. It is basic at best and should have a free-text/open response option.

Enhances Communication Through Interactive Technology

Kommentare: Schoox provides a wonderful tool that can be utilized in a variety of ways beginning with improving communication, enhancing employee development, and ensuring compliance with its tracking mechanisms and reporting capabilities. It is a product that adds value from the moment it is utilized, and more importantly, creates new value through the efficiency of technology and the capability of bringing teams together with a common development and communication platform.

Vorteile:

Because Schoox utilizes online interaction to keep people connected, there is a benefit to employees as well as leadership. The ability to add content, creating courses applicable to my organization, is an efficient process as well as cost effective. With multiple locations in the US and employees located throughout the world, Schoox allows our employees to communicate and attend online training no matter where they are located. This keeps our teams connected in a way that would otherwise not be possible.

Nachteile:

Keeping track of 'My Schoox' in comparison to my company's academy can sometimes be confusing. I'm confident that as I utilize the online training provided regarding 'how to' use Schoox, this will become easier to navigate.

Schoox is a terrific quick-start LMS

Kommentare: Our experience with Schoox has been flawless. Schoox provides all the functionality expected in a Learning Management System. It's easy to get started with, and provides the administrative and operational functionality we need. Clients have also commented favorably on its intuitive structure, ease of use and accessibility.

Vorteile:

Supports a large variety of course and media types. The mobile apps are really terrific and easy to use. Extremely easy to add and manage users and track their activity. Very easy to add or build courses, exams, etc. Customization of individual academies is also very straightforward. Schoox makes our courseware look good.

Nachteile:

Very little in the way of flaws or complaints. Frankly, the only concern is that Schoox is still a relatively new product, so there is a steady flow of feature introductions. This does not interfere with use - some of the features you might find in more mature products are still under development.

Just what we needed.

Kommentare: Our overall experience with Schoox has been great. Very friendly and responsive customer service. Always open to ideas to help us meet our training needs. They have a willingness to be flexible and adapt and change what they're doing to better suite the clients need. That's important.

Vorteile:

It is easy to use, and diverse. We can choose multiple media types to execute our training materials. Everything from videos, .PDFs, powerpoint, SCORM files for interactive content and more.

Nachteile:

I would like an easier way to update some of our SCORM/interactive media. Other than that though everything is great.

schoox is an awesome LMS

Kommentare: I have used schoox in the past when it was still in it's infancy about 6 years ago. The great thing about schoox is that it literally scales with your organization, more importantly as you continue to grow any changes that you feel the LMS should incorporate their staff is willing to incorporate. For example, when I was working with them I suggested that they create deeper down tracking, so instead of just tracking regions and or a group of stores, break it down to individual stores and or even employees. Schoox has many of the functions that more expensive LMS utilize i.e. saba and cornerstone but at a fraction of the price. Furthermore, because they specialize in the restaurant industry their software easily communicated with hot schedules to allow easy integration of your employees.

Vorteile:

Easy to use an integrate, easy support staff to work with, easy platform to use without an LMS admin.

Nachteile:

Many of their services like the KPI *Key Performance Indicator* platform is in beta phase and although they offer such things don't generally offer the usage they promise. They need to test things like this before they offer it to its vendors.

Schoox is your one stop shop for a GREAT LMS!

Kommentare: They were great with any questions I had and it was compatible with multiple external programs to develop LMS content.

Vorteile:

I had limited experience using an LMS program, let alone developing the content from scratch for my prior company. Having now seen it utilized in another company and how they use it, I can see the many, many features it offers.

Nachteile:

With anything new, I was confident that it could offer more that what I was aware of at the time. So it was frustrating not knowing the 'higher level' offerings right out of the gate. So it wasn't a true dislike to the program, but more of "I wish I could have known more about it out of the gate" to use it better.
