“Skillsoft Offers Flexible Learning but Faces Challenges With Design and Course Consistency”

4.0
Sep 16, 2025
Our company has leaned on Skillsoft for quite some time, and it's become one of the go-to ways we make learning available at scale. While it's not without its flaws, the platform has given us the flexibility to reach employees with different roles, schedules, and learning preferences. Before, we relied heavily on workshops and in-person training, but Skillsoft has opened the door to a much wider audience.

Performance of Skillsoft Across Market Features

Skillsoft Likes & Dislikes

Like

What stands out most to me is, first, the sheer range of content. Skillsoft covers everything from leadership to technical skills, which makes it easy to address varied needs across teams. Second, the on-demand nature of the courses means people don't have to wait for a scheduled session; they can learn when it fits them best. Lastly, the reporting tools give us visibility into what's being used, which helps us measure engagement and refine how we guide employees toward resources.

Like

Skillsoft has integrated AI well in a manner that helps to support the user's learning journey. Depth and variety of the content available is very strong compared to competitor offerings. Skillsoft is also a trusted brand in this space

Like

Flexibility - custom courses can be created; Variety - you can find learning material for almost all topics you are interested in; Integration - we were able to integrate it with WorkDay, which was quite convenient and easy;

Dislike

The user interface feels dated compared to modern learning apps, and that can make adoption slower for employees who expect a sleek learning experience. The search function isn't always accurate, so finding the right course sometimes takes more effort than it should. And while the library is extensive, not all the content is of the same quality; some courses feel fresh and practical, while others are clearly showing their age.

Dislike

Quality of the content can be somewhat hit-and-miss, with some of it being fantastic whereas some is poor quality. UI Interface could do with improvement in my opinion.

Dislike

Creating custom training is time consuming. I think it is the most unpleasant in LMS. It is not specific to this product. I think it applies to all of them. With Skillsoft, the more you use it, the better your training in the end.

    Wide Range of Learning Materials Available for IT Security Certification Preparation

    Sep 25, 2025
    Great place to keep your expertise up to date and learn new things. My team mainly focuses on IT Security. We were able to find the necessary training materials of several IT Sec certifications. Moreover, custom created courses from other departments allowed us to learn their processes and software used, which is quite useful during incident response. We have created a few courses inside Skillsoft for onboarding new security analysts. We have more than 4000 employees who are also use the same platform

    Skillsoft Delivers Diverse Professional Topics With Microlearning And LMS Integration

    5.0
    Oct 30, 2025
    Using Skillsoft has been a pretty solid experience for me. I liked how the platform offered a wide range of topics, especially those aligned with professional development and compliance, which are relevant to my role. The short, bite-sized modules made it easier to absorb information without feeling overwhelmed. and I also appreciated the interactive elements like quiz and scenario based learning, they helped reinforce the concepts better than just reading or watching videos. There were times when the interface felt a bit clunky, and some courses were a bit too generic, but overall, it's been a helpful tool for continuous learning and staying updated in my field.

    Dec 29, 2025
    I was introduced to Skillsoft through ATD, and was so impressed by the demo and features that encouraged my organization to purchase for our company. It has been such a great feature to deploy to employees and we have received outstanding feedback from our employees. The ease of use, quality content, and ability to scale out to our organization so easily has been a highlight of 2025. I would highly recommend to any company with the budget, looking to make an impact to the employee experience and leverage talent development across the org.
