How Alternatives Are Selected

1. LinkedIn Learning

4.3

As the LinkedIn Learning Admin for a global manufacturing company, my overall experience has been strong. We are a very distributed organization with multiple sites and SAP at the core, so training has always been a bottleneck. LinkedIn Learning gives us a way to deliver training at scale without scheduling formal workshops every time a new tool, update or process comes out. Our IT staff uses it heavily for certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Fundamentals, CompTIA Security+) and hands on skills like Python scripting, SQL, and Power BI dashboards. On the manufacturing side, engineers leaned on courses around Six Sigma, lean manufacturing, ISO 9001 and statistical process control. From and admin standpoint, I managed license allocation, user provisioning through SSO (SAML with Active Directory) and reporting for leadership. I especially valued the usage analytics, since I could see trends like how many engineers completed SAP PP/MM training or how many IT staff were working through cybersecurity modules. Overall, it became a practical tool, not just a library, that helped our teams solve day-to-day problems faster and build toward certifications.Read all insights and reviews for LinkedIn Learning

2. Udemy Business

4.4

Our company's experience with Udemy Business has been positive and pretty accurate for increasing the skills development across many of our departments. The catalog is quite substantial, so when a new tool or method appears, we can usually find a solid course quickly and keep momentum instead of waiting for formal training. Short, focused lessons suit busy schedules, and downloadable content helps people learn while travelling or during low-connectivity moments. On the admin side, rollout is straight forward. Single sign-on works reliably, user provisioning is straightforward, and it takes very little time to assemble role-based learning paths from the curated collections. Built-in analytics highlight activation and completion trends, which makes it easy for managers to steer engagement. As a baseline learning platform that we layer with a bit of curation and manager follow-through, it has proven effective for continuous upskilling.Read all insights and reviews for Udemy Business

Before, we relied heavily on workshops and in-person training, but Skillsoft has opened the door to a much wider audience.Read all insights and reviews for Skillsoft
