Storyals

Pros: We started working with Storyals during our initial rollout of Microsoft 365, particularly Teams, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. The team of professionals at Storyals truly sets them apart. Their expertise and willingness to engage in discussions about any aspect of the rollout were invaluable to us. We see many organizations still unable to use Teams to its full potential, and we credit Storyals for getting us on the right track right from the start.

As with any CBT, we may not always fully agree on what product or feature is being encouraged. One of the standout benefits is the ability to have open conversations with the Storyals team about the content of their training modules. Being able to discuss this with them to get their opinion, or in some cases seeing minor changes in future revisions of their training module, is exceptional service.

Cons: As with every Computer Based Training, we may not always fully agree with what product or feature is being encouraged in a given video (ex: password policies), but being able to discuss this with them directly is extraordinary. I've exchanged emails with Ms Hedlund directly about certain topics which is real proof of a company that cares, given we are likely one of their smallest customers.
** Storyals have managed to convert this natural Con into a Pro **

Overall: Overall, Storyals played a crucial role in our successful implementation of Teams and keeps playing an important role is keeping our users well trained and productive. Their support and dedication ensure that our team is confident in using the M365 tools.
We highly recommend Storyals to any organization looking to enhance their digital capabilities with the help of a knowledgeable and responsive team. If you are thinking of rollout out Teams, call Storyals FIRST!

Pros: I liked the easy to follow narration and instruction disguised as storytelling. This was very helpful and we started to use Storyals at the beginning of Covid when we were hiring new staff we'd never met. This is a fabulous tool if you are fully remote or are considering it. You can make sure everyone has the same starting point and a level playing field.

Cons: Needed some more advanced discussion. Would have loved power user level tutorials on all of Microsoft's products.

Overall: Greatly enjoy working with Storyals and using their products. Highly recommend them as digital resilience is only going to continue to be more important.

Pros: Engaging Storytelling Approach: Storyals sets itself apart by using storytelling to make learning more relatable and engaging. This makes complex Microsoft 365 tools like Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive easier to understand and adopt.
Role-Based Content: The platform offers tailored learning experiences based on specific roles, which ensures that employees receive relevant, actionable knowledge that fits their day-to-day tasks.
Improved Productivity and Collaboration: By promoting effective use of Microsoft 365 tools, Storyals helped our organization streamline communication, enhance collaboration, and improve overall productivity.
Continuous Learning: With a variety of content designed to fit different learning styles, employees can continue improving their skills at their own pace.

Cons: The learning curve after the implementation of Learn 365 into Storyals.
But the benefits provided by adding this service make it worth the time. So is it really a con?

Overall: With nearly 30 years in IT across various sectors—private, banking, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing—I’ve overseen numerous migrations to the Microsoft platform. Recently, I introduced Storyals into my second fast-growing company. Over the years, I’ve trained staff using everything from traditional classroom settings to online courses and video-based modules. One constant has remained: everyday users generally shy away from "tech talk."

What sets Storyals apart is its unique and engaging approach to end-user training. It makes the process more relatable and accessible, backed by a powerful system for assigning, tracking, and rewarding course completion. Storyals truly stands out in helping employees adopt Microsoft tools in real-world, day-to-day work scenarios.

In addition to its high-quality training, Storyals offers exceptional customer support. The dedicated team is prompt, professional, and always friendly, ensuring you get the most out of the platform.

I highly recommend booking a demo—you won’t be disappointed!
