Clear, Concise, & Quality Content

PROS

What I like best about Grovo is there approach to Mircrolearning. This approach makes learning take less of a toll on the user/learner. I also like that multiple platform approach. Content can be accessed from a desktop computer, laptop, or mobile device. Their learning meets you right where you are. You could be in the airport, doctor's office, or waiting on your child to finish practice. Regardless, you can access Grovo's platform and learn one task at a time. Right now I control our school's dashboard and I enjoy the fact that Grovo will allow its users to pre-test prior to learning content. Since each learner comes with their own background knowledge, you will be asked a set of questions prior to learning the content. Based on your responses, you will only need to view and learn what videos it realizes you are in need of. As educators, it is nice to see a company differentiating just as we are expected to.

CONS

The least I like about the vendor is the price. It is fairly costly for a business, school or organization.

I would avoid Grovo

Grovo is good for training on software, but if you are looking to upload your own proprietary training, I would avoid Grovo. Find a real LMS that will host your content without compressing it. We were sold on them as an LMS and the site never worked right. SCORMs always froze up and didn't report properly and video were compressed beyond what was legible on screen. The same content worked flawlessly on a Moodle site. Their customer service department was no help in fixing these issue and on several occasions told us that is just how it is and they ave no plans to fix it.

Vendor Response

Hi Chris - we're sorry you've had this experience with Grovo. We've worked very hard to ensure that both our own proprietary training videos and uploaded videos function seamlessly. We've spoken recently to help you resolve the issues mentioned above, which I hope has been to your satisfaction. If you are still experiencing issues, please do reach out to your Client Success Manager. Thank you.

Microlearning is making a Macro difference at our firm.

PROS

Grovo is an innovative platform that delivers high quality content to workforces across the world through a simple to use interface designed to empower users to learning more effectively.

CONS

Grovo is solving a critical problem through microlearning. Just because the videos are short, doesn't mean you shouldn't be prepared to spend more time than you planned, not because you have to, but you will want to.

Already seeing fantastic results after just one month of use!

PROS

What I like most about Grovo is that it takes the responsibility of training every new hire off my plate. With Grovo, I can create the training in virtually any format, and it becomes the gift that keeps on giving, training new hire after new hire while I focus on other initiatives. Grovo is simple to use and has very helpful reporting tools built in. I don't have to micromanage my employees. I just set the due date, and a weekly email lets me know where everyone stands!

CONS

One thing Grovo does not have that other products do have is an award-based platform that allows users to earn badges and pendants. Not that it is necessary, but people like to see their accomplishments and work toward goals. Grovo doesn't provide a great incentive-based learning style.

Great one stop shop for learning

PROS

It's super user-friendly, no particular training needed on the user or admin side. The catalogue of content is being regularly updated and the fact that the licence gives you full access to the 5000+ videos is extremely competitive. Plus the account management support is terrific.

my staff loves engaging in a new way of learning

It is helpful to see the performance levels of staff members in terms of number of views, speed in which they completed the training, and overall score. This allows us to see their potential and interest from a different perspective compared with routine observation. Very importantly, it indicates their ability to read and interpret written material as well as verbal information, which helps us in future HR planning to understand people's natural aptitude. The assignments also encourage a team spirit with a healthy set of challenges towards self improvement, which shows the staff that management cares about their growth. With consistent use of the learning materials over a period of time, this may increase company loyalty and our staff commitment to represent the best interests of the company by strengthening their skills.

Quick training tool for the entire company

PROS

We use this on a regular basis to make sure our team is up to date on the latest information and trends when it comes to training and security to make sure we are always staying in compliance.

CONS

The training platform is a little complex for someone who is computer illiterate. This causes a little more issues with the team being able to come across with what is supposed to be taught due to tech issues with training the trainers

Grovo was very helpful for my employees

PROS

Grovo is easy to get started using, and is versatile enough for several uses. I like that it's customizable depending on your needs.

CONS

I least liked some of the typesetting on the trainings - those could be changed a bit to be more easily readable.

Happy Customer

PROS

Vendor is amazing to work with. Extremely collaborative from the customer success managers to the coders in IT. They want to know what we need so they can consider it internally from a coding perspective and the client success managers do absolutely everything they can... go above and beyond so much that they truly are an add to your team in L&D. I couldn't be happier. In addition, the video content is relevant, precise, to the point and effective. I've received GREAT feedback about the content. The platform is easy both to use and to administrate behind the scenes. Couldn't be much simpler!

CONS

There are a couple things with the platform I would change. Mainly they the search feature does not work for internally designed content, just the vendor's created content.

Great Training Products!

I was able to reach out to my team on work related ethics and policies!

PROS

Grovo is so simple and easy to use! I use it for work to train staff. Its a great tool to share with the team. It makes it easy for the class to learn and at the end of the lesson take a test for better understanding.

CONS

I think Grovo can work on their graphics. It seems they are going with really simple, but with a few more graphics I think the website would be nicer.

Great Product, Exceptional Service

PROS

Grovo's LMS platform is very user-friendly for both the learner and the admin. Every Grovo employee I've interacted with has been honest, personable, and genuinely helpful.

CONS

When I was in the buying process, the salesperson was a bit pushy about closing before the end of the month. However, he never crossed the line to become bothersome, and in the end, I was very happy making the purchase when I did, as I was able to get my team learning right away.

PROS

Grovo has made our induction process so easy, where we used to go over the same powerpoint presentations with every batch of new hires, we can now just put it on Grovo and it's handled. I also really love how easy it is to use.
