Overall their quality of support has been excellent with great webinars to help guild and show new features.
Initially i thought that trainual was "too simple" in that i was not able to build out huge heirarchys of subject matters, but after talking with them and going through the training it makes a lot more sense now. We are successfully building out a complete training for our operators and enjoy the platforms ease of use.
I would like to see a bit more functionality in the testing options, specifically the ability to "choose all that apply" type of questions. The publishing and granting access it also not very intuitive as i have found that when i click publish, that doesn't necessarily mean it will show in someone eases library without assigning it to them.
Thanks for the review, Ian! Select all in multiple choice is definitely on our feature request board - Feel free to add any other suggestions to trainual.com/ideas :)

We are currently forming our training material and it’s been a great experience
Trainual makes it easy to make Training organized, easy, and even fun!
It takes some time to learn to organize the content
Hi Deborah! We're so flattered to hear that we're a MUST when it comes to scaling :) Thank you so much for leaving us this awesome review! We appreciate you and are excited to continue to work with you.

It’s been a great tool for both our employees and managers. We’re really glad to have Trainual because it was our missing link. It’s the perfect to house ‘us’ for training and have a place for employees to refer back to when they need a refresher.
Trainual is extremely user friendly. Our team has been able to collectively use this site to help create new training for staff, onboarding for new employees, roll out new policies, and more. We love that it can be branded, how everything autosaves, and the ease of us for our employees.
The only thing I wish this had is a way to order training for our employees. Some hires should start out with a different course than others, so we’ve been making our training schedules manually—however, it’d be great if the site came with a training scheduling system.
Thanks for the review, Danielle! You can your feature requests (like the awesome one about training order) to trainual.com/ideas.

Overall we are very pleased with Trainual. Our biggest hurdle is getting information OUT of people's heads and onto "paper" so that others can benefit from the knowledge or pick up the pieces if the need arises. Trainual is a great tool to do just that!
I really like the organizational structure of Trainual. I love that I can leave it open on my desktop and add things QUICKLY (drag/drop/cut/paste/add links or images) and without getting too side-tracked.
I'd like to be able to keep a consistent view in the main SUBJECTS page. They give you two options, Card View and Outline View. Outline View is much more intuitive to me (perfect for linear thinkers...) but unfortunately the default is Card View so every time I go to the main SUBJECTS page I have to toggle back to my preferred view.
Thanks for the review, Leilah! We do have changing your default Subject view on our roadmap, so I'll be sure to let you know when we release that! :) Thanks again for being a loyal customer!

Overall, I would say that I have had a wonderful experience with trainual!
I like this software because it's very easy to use. It helped my company build a training program when we'd never really had a linear training system before.
The program is easy to use and utilize but the navigation of the page could use a bit more work.
Thanks for the review, Daniel!

The platform is simple and easy. It's just a great way to capture everything you need to for your employees. Gone are the days of Google Docs and PDFs.
I love capturing all the company's procedures in one location. It makes it easy for new and old employees to search what they need and instantly get the answer.
The user interface currently is a little meh, but Trainual is constantly updating and listening to their users.
Thanks for your review, Wes! If you have any ideas you want to submit regarding our interface, feel free to visit trainual.com/ideas.?

Overall it has been great. I can upload with ease and I like that I can add gifs to make the training more fun.
I like that I can track exactly how the users are doing by checking their test results. It insures me that everyone is getting the same material and learning the same way so all of our legal services are uniform across the board.
The test making process is very long because of the lag in the system. It would take me an hour just to populate 30 questions and add 4 multiple question optioned per question. I would like for the multiple questions to come with 4 answer choices as a default.
Hi Virginia, we greatly appreciate that you took the time to share a review of your Trainual experience! We're glad to hear that it's helped to improve consistency in your training material. We'll be sure to pass along your feedback about tests as well! If you ever have additional feedback or any questions, please don't hesitate to let us know.

I love how easy it is to use and how simple it is to create all the sections needed for our CRM and Company training.
There are somethings I would change like the fact of the publishing and the employee user interface. But I would say everything works well and simple enough to make it very useful.
Thanks for the feedback, Ariel! We added a new permission that requires an admin to approve content before it is published, so maybe this would help with your publishing issue! If so, email support@trainual.com and we'll get this added to your account.?

It is nice that when an update is made in Trainual, everyone assigned to that subject gets alert that there is new content to digest. Also, it is our digital SOP and available whether we are working in the office or remotely.
I would like to have more options to customize text font and color.

Took a bit to get going, as with any LMS, getting your outline and content in there is the longest part. Then once you get going, keep diving into the features to make your content even better. My overall experience has been really positive.
Really excited to use the Gusto integration. Trainual makes it easy to share knowledge with people on my team and get new hires up to speed, quickly. The new Google extension and search feature make it convenient for those already on-boarded, to reference a past article. They do a great job of being in communication with their customers regarding feedback and overall great customer service.
Newer software with some missing features, but the team is working to make them available and are even sharing a roadmap to let us see what features are in the pipeline.
Thanks for the review, Emily! Happy that you know about the roadmap, too. ?

We needed Trainual to help with our onboarding and training processes. We love having everything in one place that can track the progress of the user. Our Onboarding process has been streamlined tremendously! Our agents now have a resource to access 24 hours a day 7 days a week when they have a question about a policy or procedure in our office. This has decreased the phone calls management receives on how to do something or where to find a document.
I love the video recording to share how to do a task. I also love that I can upload almost anything into Trainual to share with my team. It's easy to use and has helped tremendously at my office.
So far, I can't think of anything that I do not like about Trainual. It would be helpful to have more one on one time when developing our system. I feel like I'm still learning how to use the system sometimes. I wonder if I'm using it to the maximum capability.
Hi Tomaree! Thank you so much for taking the time to review Trainual. We're stoked to hear that it's helped you to completely streamline your onboarding process! If you ever need additional help to help you develop your system more, always feel free to reach out to our team and/or check out our training resources here: https://bit.ly/3uIu2LB.

Our company is using Tranual for comprehensive staff training: all aspects starting from the Company's introduction to specific areas of accounting and audit (how to do it, new requirements and even tests)
Trainual Basics for Creators. For me, it's a great platform to share my knowledge about blockchain with colleagues and outside users (in the nearest future).
For me, it is a bit difficult to use (just that I'm not an IT specialist and not a native English speaker).
Hi Olga! We appreciate that you took the time to leave a review of your Trainual experience. We're so happy that it's helped you share knowledge with your colleagues, and that it's been impactful for staff training. Please let us know if there's anything at all we can assist with moving forward!

Overall I love this software. It has been a game changer. We are able to hire at random times and get new hires up to speed quickly. Prior to Trainual I had to wait and hire in groups and that was really challenging.
This software has allowed me to get new hires quickly up to speed on our policies, processes and trainings.
I'm hoping that better documentation for completed training will be available soon. Maybe a customized Training log would help and Management could print out the page every three months for staff files. Also customized certificates that are emailed too management and staff. Right now its' difficult to print out everyones completed trainings.

We still have to do some hands on training with our newer employees, but having Trainual makes it much easier and allows people to refer back to the process steps when they have questions. We love Trainual in our office!
We use Trainual for training new employees in our office. The ease of use is great and being able to put videos and fun GIF's in, makes it feel lighthearted for new people.
There is nothing that I don't really like about this software.
Hi Patricia! Wow! Thank you so much for the amazing review here :) We're really stoked to hear that it's been easy for you and your team to use, and that it's made your training much more awesome. We appreciate you so much and we look forward to continuing to work with you!

Staff of really nice when you reach out, they reply quickly.
I like that you have a place to put all your information and add updates.
We use it for onboarding and I wish it had templates and designs to help you make a more interesting platform for people to use. I also dislike the layout, I wish it was more of like a website design that our employees can log into and see more of an interactive face to help them use it and obtain more information. Maybe have it be more personalizes like www.trainual.com/eatlupes and have it be our own section with all our info
Hey Kristina, have you checked out our new platform design? This was just released on Monday and should help with some of these customization requests! Let us know if you have any questions.

We are very grateful to have found Trainual. It has made training our employees much easier.
This platform allows new staff to do most of their new hire trainings on their own time and on a computer, phone, or tablet. We can track their progress and see when everything was completed as well as their test scores. You can make your trainings more interesting and easily highlight the most important take away message. It is very user friendly for administrator and user.
Very few cons. Any issues have been easily resolved with support staff.
Hi Stephanie! Thanks for leaving such a great review of your Trainual experience. We're delighted to hear that it's made your trainings easier and more impactful! We're also glad that our team has been able to quickly resolve any issues that might have popped up. If there is anything at all we can help with moving forward, please let us know!

Trainual, although time intensive on the front end, has been a great tool for our company to further our goal of training our employees to provide exemplary service. It has allowed us to centralize company policies and procedures and make sure they are consistent across multiple stores and managers.
-Mobile App -Ease of Use for learners -Consistent training across stores As a strongly seasonal company, trainual has allowed us to create consistency in training across stores for all of our new hires. This is our first season using it, but so far so good!
It takes a lot of time to build out all the training to begin with.
Hi Scott! Thanks for leaving such a candid review of your Trainual experience. We hear you when you say it takes time to build up front, but we're glad that it's been worthwhile and beneficial to your stores. Please let us know if there's anything at all we can assist with moving forward!

I will continue to use trainual for all my future on-boarding needs. I always have support for questions. It is easy and effective.
Ease of use in posting and understanding set-up. The ability to monitor progress of team.
I wish the platform was available on an app instead of through a website and browser.
Thanks for the feedback, Mary! We do have an iOS and Android app on our product roadmap so stay tuned for exciting things to come! :) We look forward to helping you train as you continue to open in new markets. Thanks for your support!

The fact that we look very professional as a company in the pre-boarding process and that our new staff members get up to speed so much faster.
We are excited to see the features expand. More advanced ways to design tests and a way for the trainee to submit documents through Trainual.

It's really cool because I can set up the policies and steps for onboarding and lead right into any necessary training or certifications right after. You can see what step they are on so you don't have to be physically present or constantly recite the same information for every orientation. You can also add some personality and culture to your materials with little videos, etc. to break up the content.
It's truly amazing that there's a software now that manages & tracks everything I used to have to do manually. No more printing hundreds of sheets of paper and spending hours at a time repeating the same policies and processes over and over. Onboarding is incredibly streamlined and employee training and certification is a breeze now.
For small businesses, you have to decide if $99 per month is within your capacity. If you do not have major staff growth needs, whether it's training or onboarding, then this may not be something worth implementing just yet. But on a larger scale, I wish I had this application years ago!
Hi Jamie! Thank you so much for leaving your review of Trainual. We are very happy to hear that we have made your processes more efficient and streamlined. If there is anything at all we can help with moving forward, please let us know!

Trainings have been great, customer service is excellent and overall it is worth every penny to have our policies and processes out of our head in the system. Feel more confident that every team member will get the same training experience.
We are new to Trainual and have taken off on creating and designing the future of training and development for our team. It has been so easy to navigate and their templates allow you a fully customizable quick start. That is perfect for getting the data in and then we can further customize as we go adding new videos and tutorials. Access to Loom in order to record steps on the computer are especially helpful to our team.
Nothing yet, I guess if I had a complaint is that I didn't do this year ago know how it will transform our training.
