[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/lms/degreed-profile/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/lms/degreed-profile/alternatives/) # Degreed User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 4.5/5 - Total reviews: 24 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.3/5 - Customer support: 4.4/5 - Value for money: 4.3/5 - Functionality: 4.2/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 15 reviews (63%) - 4 stars: 7 reviews (29%) - 3 stars: 1 reviews (4%) - 2 stars: 0 reviews (0%) - 1 star: 1 reviews (4%) ### Most mentioned pros - Degreed offers excellent customer service, their app is user-friendly, the are constantly developing new features to make it better, and their integration process with third party content providers is seamless for the most part. ## Degreed customer reviews Showing reviews 1-24 of 24 (page 1). ### A Great vehicle for Those Empowering Growth and Unlocking Potential Across Your Workforce! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Justin D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Management Consulting - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall I think the Degreed platform is a value-add for any organization that values continuous learning and has a workforce that spans the full spectrum from entry-level through executive leadership. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The best attribute that Degreed offers, in my opinion is the Daily Learning Digest feature. Similar to a daily alert when searching for a job or apartment rental, each morning you have an email in your inbox suggesting various videos, courses, and articles that are relevant to your skill set. #### Cons While I enjoyed the many features the Degreed platform offered, at times it can become cumbersome or confusing when trying to access what you want. For example, it's difficult to differentiate between a pathway and a role family. #### Reasons for choosing Degreed The ability to tailor Talent Development to meet our needs and the variety of learning features- Roles Families, Pathways, Focused Skills, etc. #### Reasons for switching to Degreed We were seeking a platform with more features for our employees. --- ### An LXP to Host Your Content - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Zach H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Degreed offers excellent customer service, their app is user-friendly, the are constantly developing new features to make it better, and their integration process with third party content providers is seamless for the most part. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Degreed is really effective at organizing content and delivering it to employees in an engaging way. It also is easy to administer/support, especially by those with limited technical skills. #### Cons Degreed is like a smart TV, it's only as valuable as the content services you pay for to watch on the platform. So if your company has very little content, Degreed won't be a great choice compared to other similar products in the market. Being an LXP, its best suited at playing the role of middle-man between your employees and the content providers you use. #### Reasons for choosing Degreed Cost was cheaper, but LinkedIn offers its own content so there is a tradeoff. --- ### Disappointed - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros First a disclaimer: I am a user of the individual, free version. On to the pros: I really love the whole concept of using this service for a central location to keep a record of my informal learning. The bookmarklet, in particular, is very handy. I've installed it on both my browsers. It automatically harvests the URL and other metadata it needs and assigns the point values accordingly. For instance, on a YouTube video, it knows how long the video is. Customer support response time is quite reasonable for what I'm paying. #### Cons Now to the disappointment: Degreed touts itself as "The learning portal to find, track & recognize ALL learning." It is not. It will not give accurate credit for learning unless it is publically available. For example, eLearning videos from my professional sites are given only 0.03 points credit for everything, even if the video I watched was over an hour long. I tried a few things to get around that to no avail. The response from customer service was there was nothing they could do. --- ### Pathways to Learning - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Andrea M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, I was very impressed with Degreed. The platform is robust and very flexible. You can build pathways that are open to anyone that has an interest in a topic or you can build a pathway to assign to a specific user group as required training. That flexibility is wonderfully! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I loved the ability to build our own customized learning pathways which could consist of content that existed on the Degreed platform or our own content in practically any format we chose. The flexibility is awesome. #### Cons I didn't like that we had to subscribe to different sets of content to get access to them on the Degreed platform. Inevitably, I would find a great piece of content in the catalog only to find it was not included in our current subscriptions. --- ### Transforming Organizational Learning - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Aaron B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We launched Degreed throughout the entire organization and the base platform for employee development. We had an amazing pre-launch design, faultless launch and almost zero tech support with only 2 tickets for the population of 1,200 employees. It allows the every employee to be in control of their own learning and development. We used it as an integral part of our talent development process tied to quarterly development check-ins. We have used it to create learning groups around key topics and have curated learning paths to reinforce our cultural and leadership principles. A really nice wow experience for new hires to see how they can start learning from day 1. It totally and seamlessly integrates with all content on our LMS and Intranet sites. We are a cloud-based technology company that needed a simple but elegant learning ecosystem. It has totally met our expectations. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Content aggregation very strong. Ability to create learning paths from both external and internal content and assign to users/groups. Ease of creating and following learning groups. Easy to tag and create daily learning feeds. So easy to share and add content from any web source to existing internally create learning paths. Very easy to administer and support. Great UI. Very affordable. #### Cons Would love to see more action oriented triggers to users as reminders to nudge learners to stay active. Would love to see a more robust way to measure if what the organization is learning is making a difference to the business or to customer's experience. --- ### Excellent for Tracking Learning - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Phyllis C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Categories of learning are tracked. Since we learn every day, it's a great way to organize and keep abreast of what you have gained knowledge in. #### Cons I wish there was a way to translate what is learned and recorded on Degreed into something marketable for an employer or when applying for school, that they would take as credit. --- ### Great product for organizing online study. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Shannon C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Nice way to create my own course of study and gauge my learning. Simple to use. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I started using Degreed because I wanted a way to create my own course of study for digital marketing. I like how simple it is to create an outline and then using their browser extension, pull relevant articles, videos, etc. and plug them into your outline for later study. Degreed also makes it easy to set up multiple topics of study and then gauge your learning. #### Cons My single complaint with Degreed is their category feed. When you set up the categories you are interested in, Degreed supplies a feed of relevant videos and articles. Currently there is no way to remove certain authors from the feed if you are not interested. You can delete the video/article, but the same author clogs your feed again as soon as they produced another article. This made my feed unusable because too much time was wasted scrolling past information I wasn't interested in. --- ### Best training tracker and content curation - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Suraj M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Goods - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Integrations are smooth, few issues but the support team is much helpful. Nice and clean UI, (Recent acquisition of Pathgather may further improve this) Mobile app is quick and very easy for learners. #### Cons Insights dashboards on the admin fronts could have more customization options. Option to clear Notifications would be helpful. --- ### Perfect tool to improve as a person and at work - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Augusto A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I like the tool very much, Im using it to develop myself and my team. I recommend to anyone that has a goal to improve and develop. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Creating a learning pathway is great to see how you are developing and follow the checklist. It is center for me. #### Cons I like the learning pathway but it is a little difficult to use sometimes. The selection of content should be easier, for example adding a checkbox without sending to the list of selected. --- ### This is Worth it - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Gilbert G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This works as a digital university which you can access anywhere anytime. This is very recommended for employees seeking to develop their skills. #### Cons There are several links requires payment and registration. Maybe degreed can link automatically to those sites and arrange with the company if they can invest for those requires payment. --- ### Best way to find, access and track ALL learning! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Todd S. - Industry: Real Estate - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered When I realized that our LMS was not utilized, I began researching options. I had heard from Degreed right when they appeared on the scene, but the timing wasn't right. Once the LMS contract was nearing expiration and seeing low usage, I reached out to Degreed and eventually implemented about 1000 licenses at my organization to pilot the system and show the proof of concept to my leadership team. I first rolled it out to our top 20 executives and created pathways, goals, etc. for the group. I showed the team all the great content formerly on our LMS that I added to the platform as well as links to books, articles and videos we shared as an exec team. The group was won-over and I then rolled it out to our next level of senior leadership, about 250 leaders from across the globe. My colleague facilitated a few webinars on how to access Degreed and we created a group so we could recommend content as well as track usage. The majority of the new users took to the system quickly and positively. Since that group of leaders also participates in our annual Leadership Summit in the spring, I created a pathway that served as pre-work for the gathering. I leveraged the healthy competition we have in our organization. Degreed sponsored a booth at our summit, so Our Client Success Director joined and heard all the rave reviews of the system. Since then, we have added a few other groups and are experimenting with getting the most usage from employees at every level in the organization. We are about to propose adding more licenses earlier than anticipated since the word is out and people across the company are asking for Degreed!! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like how Degreed curates current and relevant content from both the web as well as proprietary content that it is linked to. I love the ability to save articles, videos, etc. for later and go back to them when I can...and have them all in one place. I appreciate the ability to track all learning and not just that which is "traditional" and getting credit for the books I read, conferences I attend, webinars I participate in, etc. As a learning leader, I find tremendous value in being able to create groups, pathways and goals and then recommending learning content to those who I feel would benefit from it the most. I like the co-branding so that our employees know that Degreed is not a third party, but rather a partner. The more I use Degreed, the "smarter" it is. I receive daily emails with recommended learning based on what I have consumed, who I am following, what I have saved for later, etc. Very cool! #### Cons The lack of a fully developed native app and the reporting are lacking. I would like the same experience on my mobile device as I have on my laptop. I would also like the ability to pull/download and create dynamic reports as well as allow others to do so w/o full admin access. --- ### Useful tool for L&D - but could be improved - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros - The gamification effect is real - it's definitely been an extra incentive for me to go out and keep up my development. - Chrome extension is really helpful for encouraging use - Creation of pathways is a nice simple way to set up cross-media training plans #### Cons - Category feed (at least for me) has not been hugely relevant, and there is not much I can do to customise it. - The scoring of different learning resources can be hit and miss. If something is behind a paywall Degreed seems unable to gauge it's length and will assign it a low score. - No way to easily re-categorise something as e.g. an article, and not a video - Would love greater analytics e.g. to see how my team are progressing --- ### Impossible to use, you need a degree just to navigate their website or build a learning plan! - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Apparel & Fashion - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Wasting about 6 hours trying to build a brand new learning plan, since nothing transferred over. Each time I attempt to use it, it lists different courses for me, NONE of which I actually signed up to take! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros Well... if I could actually find anything in my plan to launch, I might like it. However, everything is so hidden away, there is no way to find courses. It keeps "suggesting" I take the Desktop Tech coursework? Seriously? I spent over an hour on the phone with an "advisor" building my plan, and now all I get is SQL Server courses and Desktop Tech plan - neither of which I signed up to take! #### Cons Impossible to navigate, it only displays "suggested" courses and pathways, doesn't let the user fully browse to see what's out there. I used Knowledgenet for nearly 2 years, but they were swallowed up by this pos software. NOTHING transferred over from Knowledgenet, so it's forcing me to take all the courses again. I had 14 certificates from there -now nothing. --- ### Robust content aggregation platform that uniquely promotes personal and professional growth - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros - Using simple data points through passive and active data collection, the content is uniquely tailored to the user's interests and needs. - Well designed, lots of whitespace to encourage focused exploration. - A great way to track your professional progress in many fields and skills - The daily emails are also very relevant and actionable - a great way to start your day! #### Cons - No cons due to the product itself - the one thing I would say is that the content push could be even a little more aggressive! I don't know what that looks like as a feature per se, but since this content/task is often taken "when I have time", it's easy to say (unfortunately) "I don't have time". Which is a false narrative. --- ### 複数のチャネルによるオンライン学習時間と履修コースを統合できる - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros あらゆるオンライン学習ツールや学習ソースを一元化することで、従業員個人レベルでのトラッキングが可能となった。また、ＧＵＩもすっきりしているので、使用に際したストレスも少ない。 #### Cons 強いて言うならば、小規模のエンタープライズでオンライン学習のリソースが少ない場合、１つのプラットフォームに統合するメリットが失われる。 --- ### Good Solution When You Can't Afford An LMS - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Sarah M. - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2016 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Site sources free or for fee learning on the web. You can think of it as the Pintrest of Learning. Individuals can sign up for free or organizations can host a site for a fee. Employees take their learning profiles with them when they leave employment. Employers can post their own internal training as well. Beware that Degreed only points to a course file, they don't house it. You need SharePoint or a Dropbox that is accessible for employees to access the actual course files. Overall, Degreed has been a great solution for us to provide training resources as well as deliver our own proprietary internal training. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Portability of user information when an employee leaves the organization Draws on many different learning providers, a lot of which are free They are constantly evolving their product #### Cons You have to house your course files (SharePoint, DropBox, or a server) and point Degreed to it. Degreed does not house any course data. --- ### Love the Ability to Personalize - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I really like Degreed! I love that you can make your own pathways to learn new things, or choose from already created pathways. There are a lot of subjects to choose from which is nice, and it's easy to find free learning. I also like the gamification aspect of earning points for new things you learn and seeing graphs of your progress. #### Cons It was a little hard to figure out at first. It took me a minute to figure out what a "pathway" was. I also got a little frustrated when I'd find a course I was interested in and then find out that it cost a lot of money. I think courses that have a fee should be marked more clearly or kept separate. Overall though, it's a good way to keep track of articles and subjects you want to learn! --- ### Mona Meng Zhe H.'s review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mona Meng Zhe H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used unspecified for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Kudos and great job for degreed! #### Cons there are several sites that requires another registration and payment. --- ### Degreed in the Workplace - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for free trial - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Amazing integration team members that have knowledge of the industry and extensive experience. The website provides a wide variety of courses and classes to take. Makes perfect sense for any company that pushes their employees to continue education in the workplace. Having their main offices on the West coast of the United States, makes for an easier time for clients in multiple time zones to have an quicker connection to their integration team member or Degreed contact. It also has a great UI compared to some competing online education platforms. #### Cons Degreed could have stronger data storage options for documents, which is now stored in variety of places. This means that an additional connection needs to be made to the files in their back end, like using SharePoint. Could also be a bit more powerful for reporting purposes, as a company may want to see their return on investment regarding employee education and other important metrics. --- ### Pulls all your additional learns from the web into one spot - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Joel R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The class and learning schedule/flow are easy to follow. I love that you can bring in learning time and resources from across the web easily. #### Cons The class and learning schedule/flow are easy to follow as long as you finish it in one sitting. If you leave or close the window and come back then you are left having to start at the beginning and then having to click through the check mark spots to get back to where you were. --- ### Efficient way to track your learning paths. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: November 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
