Customized LMS meets our needs!

BlueVolt allows for lots of customized features in the user interface. It also has growing functionality that allows us to upload, manage, and report courses easily. My favorite feature is being able to use Training Tracks to make accessibility to courses much easier for our end users.

Not much to complain about. It's a great tool. Sometimes we found that it doesn't play as nicely with Captivate as it does with Articulate, but it doesn't keep us from being able to post both kinds of courses online.
Recommendations
It's a fantastic tool built from within the industry and offers a lot of value for those needing a dependable platform.

Solid LMS for our company

Great support, easy to use and intuitive, frequent enhancements and updates. Courses are easy to upload and edit, and there are lots of setting options depending on how you want the course to be set up. User management is very easy. We can use SSO with our company intranet.

I can't think of anything negative to say, all my experiences have been positive.
Recommendations
We had a pretty easy conversion to using Blue Volt and have not had any major issues. They support most types of training modules so you shouldn't have any compatibility issues. Everything is really customizable so you should be able to tie it in with almost any existing system or with whatever your company's requirements are.

There is still some work to be done on the Administrative side which includes improving the overall UI, reports and emails.
Recommendations
In evaluating software like this, I highly recommend others consider BlueVolt if they are in the Distribution industry (especially Electrical, Plumbing, Lighting) as other companies in this industry have BlueVolt Universities. This makes sharing content between BlueVolt Universities easier. The BlueVolt product itself provides everything needed in an LMS, is easy to use and is continually improved. Lastly, BlueVolt provides top notch customer service that you can always count on, with a very talented team that is always ready to help.

I've worked with BlueVolt indirectly for ~10 years and directly for ~1 year, and they've always been nothing but professional, friendly, and extremely helpful! The software and all the people behind it is powerful and allows me the flexibility and creativity I need to create my training university program while adapting my content to the universities of my customers.
The details of the software are pretty self-intuitive, and where not...the people at BlueVolt are extremely helpful in quickly getting me the help or answers I need.

Our company uses BlueVolt to manage our product training for our distributors. We are a small lighting company; not as large as many of our counter parts; and with little resources to support our distributor base. BlueVolt allows us to be "larger in appearance" and be a progressive - one stop source for product training. Through BlueVolt, our Shat-R-Shield University is easily accessible by our distributors; and allows our distributors to measure their employees and hold them accountable for training...awarding them when courses have been completed. BlueVolt manages all of that. Customer focused and driven; a true partner to us.

BlueVolt has exceeded my expectations with their ability to connect to our audiences. Their "can do" attitude was more than I expected. They definitely went the extra mile to help me get the new LMS set up in a step-by-step and easy to understand manner. The interface works reliably with zero technical gliches. The metrics for our courses are easy to obtain and share. The ability to promote the courses is basically built right into their interface - super easy and effective. Our enrollee count is growing every day. BlueVolt is truly the industry leader for LMS and we could not have selected a better partner. We are pleased with the rapid growth and result of our new Universal University.

This software provides an excellent platform for learning management. As a student it is straight forward to work in. In the ADMIN role, there is a bit of a learning curve (as with any new software) however the BlueVolt support team is incredible to assist in the training. Their support team is professional, extremely knowledgeable, most patient and quick to respond. I would highly recommend BlueVolt to those looking for a quality LMS.

We chose the Blue Volt system for many reasons that matched our criteria for LMS with some different audiences. We are really pleased with the results and amazed we were able to get it up and running so quickly!
The best surprise has been the great people to work with from the account team to technical support. They are responsive and go the extra mile.
