Axonify

Growing with Axonify

Kommentare: The platform is exactly as I expected based on my conversations with the sales team and the demos before I chose to implement it, this may not sound like much, but it's huge to me that there were no surprised. The implementation team was wonderful, it was easily the easiest implementation process I have ever been through and I still (over a year later) have a regular call with my rep so we can talk through the best way to accomplish my goals, proving ROI, pain points, upcoming features, the Axonify conference, etc. The best part: since they are constantly rolling out new features based on their user's feedback, it's an even better platform than the one I signed up for.

Vorteile:

I love that even though it is a good enough platform that it was my first choice when I was choosing an LMS, they have not stopped innovating. In many cases a new feature has been released just as I am anticipating a problem that would be perfectly resolved by that feature, such as the guided learning feature released last year.

Nachteile:

Some of the organization of the platform doesn't always make sense to me. Some features are split so setting them up can require the admin to perform actions in several different sections of the platform, however, this is most likely a byproduct of the frequent updates. Since this is only a minor annoyance, it is well worth it to in exchange for the innovations and many of these inconveniences have been addressed in the updates so in my opinion, this is only a short term inconvenience.

We Love Axonify!

Kommentare: Axonify has become our go-to tool, replacing multiple other platforms. We use it for onboarding, reinforcement training, intranet, rewards program, communication platform, and certification/compliance mechanism. There are many other features we haven't even tapped into yet!

Vorteile:

We love how user-friendly the interface is and that it provides a reasonable way to engage employees at all levels, without taking them away from their tasks.

Nachteile:

There are challenges, as a bi-lingual company, but our customer support person has always been able to help us work through those challenges. I know that our feedback is passed along and that the team at Axonify is working hard to improve things from multi-language companies.

Much Better for Learners, Often Tough for Admins

Kommentare: Great customer support, great for learners, y'all have absolutely got to figure out what is happening on the back end with your data and data connections and feature capabilities. As an admin, I feel greatly restricted by this product compared to something like Cornerstone. Learners majorly benefited from this change, but switching to this product has made my job as the owner of several large training programs with an audience of thousands of Learners a year, quite a bit more difficult.

Vorteile:

How engaging and easy to use it is for Learners. Making training accessible and fun is important to training retention and Learner attitude towards learning/training in general.

Nachteile:

There's several simple admin features missing with regards to program management and updates.1) Allow overwriting of Historical Import data-- if even a single cell in a row has changed for a User in a later Historical Import for the same topic ID, Axonify should be smart enough to recognize the change and update the row. Asking your Admins to revert Historical Imports of potentially tens, hundreds, or often in my case, thousands of users to update single lines is ridiculous and puts us at risk of not being able to manage essential compliance training completion dates, scores, and more.2) Allow admins the option for learning objects/content added programs to not re-open already completed paths and stop making admins either retire whole programs and create new ones or do massive Historical Imports for simple content additions for Learners moving forward.3) Content completion of an item in one path should not translate to completion in another path-- this means I have a repeating topic across several programs, I have to now manage several pieces of the same content. This is literally a nightmare for making updates to content sources and then having to update. Again, allow admins the option of if the content should complete across pathways or should seem "new" again to Learners instead of establishing a rigid logic that restricts training possibilities.

Great Games !

Kommentare: I like the games it provides! Such as the golf, football, Tetris, the ball machine games.

Vorteile:

Provide great learning games before I learn. The games are release from work stress.

Nachteile:

Not complaints at this time! No Cons. It typically straight and to the point.

Innovative product headed in the right direction

Kommentare: Overall my experience has been positive, and I'm thrilled to be working with this platform. The days of clunky old LMS systems that can't adapt to a learner's individual knowledge level are over - Axonify sets a new bar. Companies want to know that when they invest in training for their people, those people will for remember it long after the training is delivered. Axonify can meet that challenge. I look forward to seeing what they do next.

Vorteile:

Axonify provides a fun, modern twist on workplace learning, delivering games with questions infused throughout. The platform navigation is very intuitive, providing learners with a straightforward selection of menus and a very visual interface. The game mechanics are solid - the gameplay and leaderboard have been hugely motivating to our employees and people truly enjoy logging into the platform each day. The rewards feature is another big draw, though we are developing our own reward and recognition system and haven't yet used the built-in features. The customer service and support teams have been phenomenal - we can get a person on the phone within just minutes if needed, and support tickets are responded to almost immediately. There is also a reward system for customers, so we can earn points by sharing tips with other customers and earn points to exchange for conference passes and swag. Our rollout has been a huge success, with over 90% participation and positive feedback from our employees. We are excited about the future with Axonify, so far they have been very receptive to our ideas and have taken action to implement suggested changes. The future looks bright.

Nachteile:

My biggest concerns are likely "growing pains" due to being relatively new on the LMS-scene. Hopefully some improvements will come over time. For example, we can't edit html to customize our content, change the look and feel, swap out icons, use embed codes...as a designer, I'm used to having more control over those things. Many of my (admin) frustrations with the platform have been user interface and experience issues. The inability to bulk upload content means entering content is tedious. Not being able to upload .txt files means we can't use our third-party captioning service, so I'm doing it manually (we're hoping this is temporary). Lengthy side menus that don't collapse properly mean I'm constantly zooming in/out in order to access menu options at the bottom. There is no Dev system, so all testing and experimentation are done in Production, which means creating a fake person, fake email accounts, and then excluding our testers from data reports so the data is accurate. The spreadsheet used to communicate content changes to admins isn't formatted for printing, so I have to do it myself. The initial process of learning the design methodology could be improved. No one could explain why, although there are 5 levels of questions, they don't recommend using Levels 4 & 5, or how to take advantage of the platform's xAPI-compatibility (no one I've talked to about it knows what xAPI is). Again, my "complaints" are little things, mostly user experience stuff that can be fixed.

Best platform for frontline workers!

Kommentare: We 100% raised employee engagement and we are about to launch a communication strategy with Axonify's new Advance comm' feature!

Vorteile:

It is a very intelligent platform that can enable any department challenged with communications issues, lack of knowledge, lack of employee engagement...you name it. I love how it provides us the data we need to make business decisions. :)

Nachteile:

It might take a while for some new Admins to learn how to use it, and do troubleshooting at first. But the support is there from Axonify team, so be patient with yourself.

Simple affordable and comprehensive tool to improve business

Kommentare: A very positive experience due to strong support from the Vendor and implementation partner

Vorteile:

Engages learners and provides measurable benefit

Nachteile:

I only wish I'd found it sooner. Needs some resource invested to get it providing all of the benefits but those are a great ROI

Axonify is a very effective Learning Management System

Vorteile:

- Simple User Interface to set up online training & course materials- Reporting to Track: Engagement, - Gamification of quizzes

Nachteile:

- Expensive for small organizations- Needs little more time & effort to configure & go live

An excellent choice for Learning & Development

Vorteile:

This software has many advanced features that other's do not have, especially for employee learning and development. The ability to assign courses and SOPs covers the regulatory aspect of training and the micro-learning through daily questions at multiple levels allows employees to retain information. The reporting abilities allow managers to track individual employee progress and their Team/Dept. The Behaviors/Observations/Evaluations feature is great for many things like 30/60/90 day new hire tracking as well as safety observations.

Nachteile:

While Axonify has many advanced features, there are several basic features that would help with setup and regulatory. A system of revision for courses/SOPs, more controlled exporting of data, and due date control are a few examples.

Axonify Review

Kommentare: great

Vorteile:

Great learning tool, helps our staff learn

Nachteile:

needs to have regular tools added for more training

Differentiation

Vorteile:

Easy to use, many features, excellent reporting and content creation.

Nachteile:

Multiple languages are a challenge and need more support

Axonify review

Kommentare: The experience with Axonify is great and allows the organization to test employee knowledge on a different range of subjects like processes, HR and product knowledge.

Vorteile:

The ability to test user's knowledge retention using questions allows the organization to identify weak points. I like the ease of using Axonify on mobile or laptop settings and the ability to create programs and certifications

Nachteile:

There aren't any areas of Axonify that aren't easy to use, the games used in the software can sometimes a long time to complete.

Microlearning - A Strategic Imperative

Kommentare: Fantastic platform, great partnership from the Axonify team and its been a great learning experience overall, from inception to pilot to full immersion it was simply excellent.

Vorteile:

Its accessibility to learners, its versatility as a communication tool, its power to change the learning landscape, the best solution to address L&D needs in the most direct economical fashion available. Staff are empowered, management are able to communicate comprehensively and the reach and impact hereof are sufficient to change a business into a learning organization.

Nachteile:

The evaluation by retail store ( if you in retail) could be improved so as to help the manager in the course of their day to day operation. The link to business results need to be more clearly highlighted. The ability to do so exists but to get there is a little too manual at this stage.

Why is Axonify the right solution for your business

Kommentare: Axonify helped me reach more people in a very short time.

Vorteile:

With Axonify, I have provided product knowledge very quickly and cost-effectively. Axonify is not your traditional LMS where a catalog of training content is available, and the user can choose what they think is relevant. Axonify is different as the learning is tailored to the user based on their progress and repetition. The daily questions allow us to understand the knowledge gaps better and deploy solutions to fill those gaps. From a user point of view, the User interface is well defined and easy to understand. Relevant training content is served to the users based on their preferences and knowledge to learn at their own pace. The use of artificial intelligence to define individual learning is what attracted me to this solution. The app is easy to use, and the gamification process helps to make the user experience even more enjoyable. The system administration is relatively easy, and the reporting engine is extremely powerful. I have been able to quantify learning for the first time. Lastly, the discover section of the tool is convenient to share additional information or content that the user can digest at their leisure.

Nachteile:

The registration process in the app can be cumbersome as it requires the user to know the URL of the platform. I wish that the app would be branded rather than being called Axonify.

Why Axonify helped us level up and build a high performing team

Vorteile:

The most impactful feature gained with using the Axonify software remains the knowledge we have shared across the board. Now, everyone has access to the latest information and the latest processes. The knowledge level has now leveled up for all team members helping us become a high performing team.

Nachteile:

I dont find the use of Axonify for administrator as easy as portraid. I would have appreciated a map of the software right from the beggining, showing me the entire building map. Having some sort of a workflow showing how items correlate together. For example, how is content built in a program and how can we have multiple programs and what other side items do I need to know. How do I differentiate a topic from a subject from a area of interest and so on. These are all items I tend to confuse together and its only with trial an error that I can figure out what give me the output I am looking for in a user file.

Launching Our Data Literacy Curriculum with Axonify as Our Partner

Kommentare: We launched our Axonify Platform in 2018 in connection with a key initiative to increase digital literacy across our organization. We encountered several problems with our LMS and decided to switch all of our digital literacy program content to the Axonify Platform. Overall my experience with Axonify (from our set up team, to our relationship manager, to their support team) has been a positive experience. They have been responsive to our needs and have been a wonderful partner in helping us successfully launch several programs.

Vorteile:

The daily reinforcement questions have been pivotal in helping our colleagues learn and retain what they’ve learned. Our colleagues love the dashboards that provide them with personalized insights on their progress and helps them easily see training they have completed and training that hasn't. Our colleagues also like the variety of games available and like that they can choose to play or go straight to their daily reinforcement questions. The product is easy to use; however, because it offers a lot of information (dashboards, reports, etc.), there is a learning curve to navigate the interface. Integration with our business process was a bit involving as you need to ensure that key players (IT/IT Security, HRIS, etc.) are heavily involved in the initial set up to ensure that the Platform launch goes smoothly.

Nachteile:

So far, I would say that we have what we need from the Platform. I love that the Axonify product team continues to add additional features and make improvements to the Platform on a regular basis. No aspects of the product were difficult to use; however, because Axonify is not a pure LMS, it did take some time for us to get use to a few things: dashboards (versus running reports), how to gauge progress (it’s not a one and done as you are doing daily reinforcement, and changing behaviors and expectations (daily reinforcement, 3-5 minutes each day). Integration was not difficult once we figured out critical partners that needed to be included in the discussions.

Axonify Highlights

Kommentare: Axonify has been a great company to work with! Our Customer Success Managers and the Support team have always been so helpful to educate us, work with us on new features/asks, and get us the information that we need.

Vorteile:

Guided Learning has streamlined our onboarding training for team members. This had made the process much easier and for us to deliver content in a seamless way, while chunking the learning day by day for them. It has really improved our employee training experience. By grouping our team members with a numeric number, we are able to streamline the training process so the next level of courses releases without having to manually be released on our end. Thus, allowing team members to work more at their pace. Real time Reporting and Analytics are also important, as we are able to speak to real time data to better assist team members with training completion and engagement.

Nachteile:

Improvements that would be beneficial include being able to have more options for branding so that the platform can be specified to our company and match with our other systems. We would also like to be able to personalize the Home Page on the Learner Poral so that we can move widgets and items to what is a focus for our team. We believe this would help with utilization and engagement among our team. We would also like to see improvements with the messaging system to incorporate two-way messaging instead of it only being one-way messages. We are working to streamline our communication as a company, and this could do a long way to help with this and with the engagement in the platform.

Axonify's variety of features

Kommentare: Overall, we have been able to address the training needs of our team members during a time when so much has had to be done remote and online. Bringing new hires up to speed, preparing current team members to enter the management track and familiarize themselves with how the company works has all become easier due to the rapid turn-around of content creation to delivery of the training.

Vorteile:

What I appreciate most about this software is the variety of features Axonify makes available to accommodate companies that may not be able to design every level of the curriculum. We value the flexibility to choose our delivery method and merely input the content. It allows us to focus on content and take advantage of Axonify's professional presentation. These two elements combined deliver the content to our team members in an efficient and effective way.

Nachteile:

What I have liked the least about this software is not having control of all the features. Outsourcing a learning management system means surrendering a certain amount of control, so we are at the mercy of what Axonify offers and work within their system.

A Skill reinforcement system above no other

Kommentare: From the moment we started with Axonify we focused in a small are of our plant and within 3 months started to see a significant improvement in that production area. even though it was small, the results was a 17% improvement that was enabling us to hit our business goals. We learned a lot from the reinforcement process in learning, that just a few minutes each day can be the difference between winning and losing.

Vorteile:

Axonify enables our team to customize our learning for each team and group of employees to ensure we focus on reinforcement of critical production and safety skill sets. The use of gamification allows the users to want to use Axonify and the scoring systems not only brings competitiveness amongst our teams, but drives participation for rewards as well as bragging rights. As team members us the system, you not only get to see an increase in their knowledge and skills, but you see a difference in business performance and the employee develops a deeper since of ownership as they see their platform improve. behaviors improve along with knowledge retention, that helps drive business results.

Nachteile:

the only feature I wish was better adapted would be the message or chat feature. I feel this would help drive additional competitiveness and participation.

Great Tool for Reinforcement

Kommentare: Overall, we are very happy with Axonify. It's good and offering quick, consistent learning in an easy to access format.

Vorteile:

It's perfect for reinforcement after a training session. It's quick to set up new questions, and the tracking behind the scenes really helps customize the experience for each user.

Nachteile:

The Learning programs aren't very helpful - you're only supposed to have one, so I'm not sure why this layer of design has to exist at all. I'd also love it if the software had more live survey/quiz functionality. Then, questions could be reused for live sessions, as well as reinforcement. If we had that, we wouldn't have to use other tools and could just use Axonify.

This LMS is going places

Kommentare: There is a piece of me that want to put Axonify on a pedestal for the best LMS I ever worked with. There is another piece of me that feels like I should be rationalizing things a bit…But you know what? The more I work with it, the more hidden potential I find, so we're always evolving our training experience over time and it's great because I also get the opportunity to learn everyday and keep things fresh.

Vorteile:

"Learning" is a daily experience. It's part of life and Axonify makes it easy for our employees to learn new things by identifying their weaknesses and creating opportunities to close the gaps between the various objectives that matters to our business. Not only that but it respects the order of priorities for learning. I mean that in the way of topic order, but also for the learning complexity. It manages the “Does they know it” aspect of learning and also provides tools to assess the “Can they do it?”, or the behavioural aspect of learning, which feeds back the Algorithm, which personalize the learning experience, which impacts the behaviours… This LMS provides tons of benefits and opportunities for employees to learn everyday with its bite-sized approach and great UI on both desktop and mobile. Now, benefits for learners are great, but admins are also treated with a sleak UI that is easy to use. Every year Axonify expand their capabilities and offer more and more tools to their customers, tools that we are always happy to use because they are all work in harmony and add on to the bigger picture of the learning experience of your employees.

Nachteile:

Axonify is a tool, and like any other tool, one must have clear intent and have a plan of attack. This LMS is smart, and you can make some genius experiences with it, but you definitely need to understand what you want to achieve, understand the features that are available to you, and build, with, intent. That being said, this LMS will multiply the efforts you put in for the benefits of your learners. Recommendation: Get a Customer Success Manager!

Axonify as a recommended LMS platform

Kommentare: Throughoutthe two years I have used Axonify as an administrator and learner, I have enjoyed the games, the ability to check my progress on learning and taking additional courses if I needed. The platform is easy to use, intuitive and has a lot of perks that other LMS platforms don't have. It is expensive but believe me it is worth investing in. The support team is always there for you, making you feel like a part of the family and making changes that you suggest. Perfect LMS with a prefect team.

Vorteile:

I have been using Axonify for the last two years with two different companies. My experience as a user has been engaging and fun. Axonify fully integrates the "have fun while learning" factor into their platform. As a learner, I am engaged in answering everyday questions by playing games and having fun. Additionally, I can check the progress of my learning and choose a path or module that will help me with increasing my knowledge and getting better results in the areas where I might struggle at the time. As an administrator, I like the ease of use of the platform and the ability to change my role meaning I can be a learner, an administrator as well as a leader. I can do my learning, check the reports, set up new programs, users or groups and also impersonate myself as one of the learners to see how a program I have launched is working for them. Axonify is the only platform that I know to implement the reinforcement of the learning with their daily questions. You launch a course, the learners take the course and then you can reinforce their knowledge on the subject with daily questions. It is a huge win not only for the admin but also for the learner and the company overall. The better the learners' knowledge is of the products and services the company provides, the better confidence of the front-line workers is in performing their jobs and making sales. Axonify is not only easy to use for the learners and the admin staff but also incorporates a modern approach to LMS.

Nachteile:

Axonify is amazing with all the features that it has. One of the opportunities to improve would be reporting. I'm referring here to SCORM Assessment integration as well as outlining in the reports who has or has NOT completed training materials. The progress reports are really in-depth but the missing part is who did NOT complete the learning. You can always find another way to get the information about No completion but it would be beneficial to have it available in the reports.

A training platform designed for frontline team members

Kommentare: Axonify has allowed us to streamline the amount of time it takes to onboard and upskill new team members in our organization. We reduced the amount of time to train new hires by more than 50% on average, depending on the team member's role in our organization. In addition to reducing the seat time, we have been able to leverage over 70 of Axonify's free off-the-shelf training topics that continue to evolve and grow over time. The amount of resources their free-off-the-shelf training library has saved us is above and beyond the resources required to purchase the system.

Vorteile:

Axonify has been built for frontline team members first, who historically have difficulty receiving information electronically from their organization. The learning and communication experience for these team members is Axonify's top priority as they continue to build and evolve their system. In addition to being built for the frontline team member, they are continuously evolving the back-end administrative side of the system to improve the experience for company administrators to manage and leverage the training system.

Nachteile:

The one opportunity we experienced as we implemented and continue to manage Axonify is the complexity when trying to manage the administrative side of the system. We use Axonify as our all-in-one learning system, and there have been challenges to try and deliver training in a way that is in-line with a "traditional learning management system." There has always been a way to solve these challenges, but it has taken a level of effort to learn and identify the creative solutions to solve those challenges.

7x loves Axonify !

Kommentare: Our overall experience with Axonify has been nothing short of phenomenal. From our first interaction with their Sales team (who still touches base with me from time to time), to their implementation team, and now dealing with their support team, everyone at Axonify has been incredibly helpful. I love that whenever I have a question or issue I can get a response from someone within a matter of minutes. I can even text my Customer Success Manager and she will respond right away. The Help Centre is also very useful and provides a ton of resources for me and my team. From the users perspective, Axonify helps create a learning culture at our company by incorporating it into their daily lives while they have fun. Our biggest complaint from learners is that they can't answer questions and play games all day long! I really can't say enough good things about our overall Axonify experience.

Vorteile:

What I like most is how microlearning is the foundation of Axonify. As a call centre, taking time to complete training is always a struggle and Axonify makes it easy. Every LMS we saw had the capability of assigning a quiz on a daily basis, but only Axonify had this built-in to their platform in an easy and user-friendly way. As an administrator, I can easily assign reinforcement content across the entire company with just a few clicks. And from the users perspective, all they need to do is login and they can get relevant content while having fun by playing games.

Nachteile:

There are some reporting capabilities that could be improved with Axonify. There is a plethora of data available, and as an administrator it is relatively easy to navigate. However we need to keep our Leaders of learners in mind when looking at reports. Leaders want a quick and easy way to identify who has taken training, and who hasn't taken training. They want information readily available in as few clicks as possible, and while that information is in the platform sometimes it is not as easily accessible as I would like. We often rely on exporting information to Excel and sending it to Leaders via email.

Great all in one LMS for the on-the-go workforce

Kommentare: Overall, Axonify has been a great way to get our employees to learn new content, communicate, and reinforce learning. The Axonify algorithm learns every day, and now plays a big part of our employees days. On top of that, the games, rewards, badges, and ability to challenge others, has created friendly competitive environment that has encourage users to get hooked on learning.

Vorteile:

The tool is modern, customizable and can do almost everything a traditional LMS system does, but a lot easier to use and manage. The software is excellent to deliver needed learning to the palms of our employees fast. The way Axonify has transformed from a microlearning platform to a more robust learning tool as been upmost helpful to adapt costly in-person courses to short eLearnings. Having the ability to create blended and personalized learning paths have helped us maximize our overall learning ROI.

Nachteile:

Self-Directed paths and certifications is still new and evolving. Our business requires our employees to take trainings in a way that leaders can view their employee's progress . However, unless it is an assigned eLearning, tracking in Leaderzone is limited to export reporting. This make Leaderzone metrics unhelpful for our needs. It would be great to be able to customize Leaderzone metrics to improve user experience and to include Self-Directed progress in both Reports and in Leaderzone.
