    Its compliance and reporting capabilities, along with the ability to scale, would make Edison a favorite in the market. But here we can be more flexible, and in general, the experience shown has been positive and has been useful to our continuing education programs.

Dislike

The absence of detailed information hampers the identification of the progress of learners and teams. I do not have an efficient way to determine what topics are difficult for the employees or which areas of the training are insufficient.
