Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to deploy and add organizational entities. We can allow team administrators to handle a lot of the administration effort which relieves IT to do other IT things.
  • Customer success manager accessibility and involvement. Their support team members, the ticketing system, and their self-help community forum for questions and suggestions.
  • I loved the organization of the videos. I could search for a topic and then find that it was part of a series of videos on that topic. That would encourage me to start at the beginning and learn even more than I initially set out to learn. That is a super subtle way to get information to users without requiring them to know what they don't know to start with. I loved the reporting aspect on the back end. I could see which courses my users were most involved with easily. Every aspect of the back end administration was really easy to learn and the support from Brainstorm when I had questions was second to none. It was just a terrific experience all the way around.

Cons

  • Not a Brainstorm problem but sometimes teams onboard but then do not use the training resources.
  • Early in our time with BrainStorm, we had a revolving door of customer success managers, making it hard to build relationships and gain traction on plans. This was ultimately resolved satisfactorily.
  • I would have like it to be more robust as an LMS. It has that capability, but I believe it is first and foremost a content library and secondly a content host. It is a little limited as an LMS compared to other software out there, but their content more than makes up for it.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Userlane helps to train your users directly in the software. Instead of having "training documents" the assistant highlights exactly what you're currently training. And even better: it can prevent mistakes as the parts which are not important cant be clicked and are greyed out. In addition you have the possibility to fix mistakes of your tours online and roll them out to your users immediately. Further more you are getting a great support which is giving individual and precise advices to get Userlane to a more and more successful level.
  • The Userlane team was amazing during onboarding, they helped us through every tour, gave great advice and made sure everything was working as it should be. Particular shout out to Hannah who was so helpful
  • - Ease of use of the editor - Multi-lingual capability and scalability - Customisation - Amazingly responsive, friendly, committed team - Help at hand whenever any technical implementation challenges - Great reporting

Cons

  • A bit pricey for smaller softwares. The price curve is steep and is getting flatter the more user you are focussing. Especially in the beginning this can be hard to swallow. The editor and all the functions/tricks/knowledge you need to get the most out of Userlane is a lot to learn. Don't expect it to be easy to get good tours. But this only applies to the "set up" and building the tours. The maintenance is easy and not a lot of work.
  • Their new dashboards update is disappointing, and in general the analytics could go a bit deeper and link together better.
  • There hasn't been anything that we haven't liked. There was a feature not included in the product (user-level reporting), but on discussion with their team, we know now that it's on the roadmap and due to be delivered in the coming months. Even better, their UX team got hold of me to listen to what we wanted and help their solution!
