So far so good!
Our team has given us really good feedback about Trainual, and it makes a great first impression on new team members.
PROSIt's simple, pretty, and functional. No real complaints.
CONSThere are some nitpicky features and functions that I wish were available or that don't work quite the way I'd want them to. The search functionality gets on my nerves sometimes as it seems to load exactly the search result I'm looking for immediately but then a second later SEVERAL results load and the one I actually want (that's most relevant) jumps further down the list. If you are a speedy clicker and try to click it before the rest of the search results load (like me), it will take you to something completely different as the rest of the results will load right as you click. I do like that it *has* search functionality and when we have had to make wide-sweeping changes it is really nice to be able to hit the enter key and see not just results in whatever category you're in but in every aspect of your company. We have used other comparable software in the past and have never had true search functionality like this before.
Vendor Response
Thanks so much for the great feedback, Sarah! I will be sure to pass this along to our product team.

Great tool for Team Training
The data may be quickly sorted and searched. Having everything set up ahead of time will make it much simpler to locate the specific concepts you need to grasp afterwards. It's also helpful to be able to monitor your own and your staff's training development.
PROSOnboarding Time is saved and efficiency is increased as our staff receives continuous training and development thanks to our efforts. Simple interface! The addition of Loom is fantastic. Loom also offers excellent onboarding training materials.
CONSOne potential drawback is that training doesn't make extensive use of gaming techniques, which appear to be crucial in retaining today's workforce.
Reasons for switching to Trainual
With Trainual, we no longer have to worry about losing track of or misplacing the myriad documents that detail our company's policies and procedures in regards to its technical operations.

Hey Courtney! ���� We're so glad to hear training makes Onboarding and documentation simple & efficient. We'll share your gamification feedback with the team. Thank you for sharing your review. ����

Difficult to Use
My time with trainual was a waste of money and time and never quite got usage from it. Almost $1k later, I ended up cancelling the subscription and have ZERO to show for it.
PROSIn theory, it makes the process of onboarding and training easy and efficient.
CONSThe set up process, even with already having the documentation is burdensome and the flow of how to use the software is confusing. There is no real start and finish or defined, or even suggested, workflow. There are tons of integrations, but no suggestions really as to how to best use them or under what circumstances these things would be useful. It is also incredibly expensive to say that it is ongoing expense that will forever need to be paid for the life of your business. Theres no tapering off or build up. It has to be implemented immediately in order to show it's value and does not account for the set up process.
Reason for choosing Trainual
It's already included in my usage account and by simply creating a table of contents, I can get essentially the same functionality that I was supposed to with Trainual.
Vendor Response
Hi Erica - thank you so much for taking the time to review Trainual. We're sorry to hear that the platform didn't meet your expectations, and we appreciate all of your feedback on how we can improve. We're always adding ways to make implementation much easier for our customers, and we're continously adding new content for this. If you ever would like to come back and try us out, let us know and we'll be happy to set you up with resources that'll make implementation much easier. But regardless, we wish the best of luck to you and your business going forward. Thank you for giving us a try!

You need Trainual
I would recommend Trainual to anyone who has a process that impacts others. Whether in a non-profit, business, or community setting.
PROSTrainual has been incredible for documenting all things you think you will just remember. And better yet keep it organized for those who come after us within a company
CONSThe one thing I will say - for a small company, starting can be tricky. Trainual has been designed for companies of all sizes and there were some kinks to work out for a company as small as ours.
Reason for choosing Trainual
Trainual was easy to use and had lots of help and resources
Reasons for switching to Trainual
Trainual had all elements that were missing from other platforms.
Vendor Response
Thanks for sharing, Trinity. I love how you're thinking of those who will come along after you. That says a lot about you as a person and I admire that! We pride ourselves on helping small businesses and have tons of resources you can access. Please do not hesitate to reach out. From process templates to coaching support - we've got you!

Trainual Review
I like that I can take all processes out of my head and write them down, step by step for the team to follow. This has freed my time up greatly. Now the team can refer to trainual.Also, the company structure feature is ace. I can allocate people to roles, then trainual subjects to that role
CONSI think it is quite good as is. For what we use it for, there is nothing lacking

Process management build out and review
Trainual is relatively new to our company and we are still building out the various areas. I like how it builds on itself and the areas can overlap and relate with ease.
PROSIt is highly user friendly and guides you through the modules in regards to building and adding new content. Things are kept simple and straight to the point.
CONSIntegrating users and assigning roles can be slightly confusing or harder to manage.

Build your team!
Trainual as a tool is absolutely critical in getting a new employee up to speed on the basics in a way that maximizes overall team productivity; Additionally, the ease of placing how-to's, procedures, processes and other information is a way to store institutional knowledge (and quickly change it) that is easily accessible to everyone in the company.
CONSThe word processing abilities could be more capable. Making a "list" or bulleted items in Trainual is painful. An integration with Microsoft Word would be gold.

Good for what we use it for.
Overall, our company has really enjoyed using Trainual and would recommend it to others.
PROSThis program is easy to use and has helped us streamline training for our company since all our employees are remote training and working.
CONSI don't feel like I know fully what is offered by Trainual. I signed up for TrainualU but haven't been able to utilize it as we have been changing and growing so much.

Just what our company needed!
Overall, Trainual is something that every company needs, big or small. It's important to have a process where you can train your employees and then test them to see if they understood what they just learned. Trainual helps you do that with ease and helps your whole team get up to speed at the same time.
PROSTrainual allows you to easily create a way for your employees to learn of a new subject and then they can take a test to get tested on their knowledge of the subject after going through the training materials. For our large company, it allowed us to get our employees certified, so that we felt confident that they knew the new information on the new product we were rolling out.
CONSThere are no cons that I have been able to find.
Reason for choosing Trainual
Trainual had everything we needed and we will never go back to another training program again!

The Thing You Didn't Know You Needed!
We absolutely love Trainual: as a company, a team, and a product. It has become the foundation of our company and the place that we are working so hard to get all of the information. As we build this plane while flying it, we appreciate how easy it is to write down what we are doing so it is easier next time. Prior to Trainual, sometimes I felt like MacGruber holding things together with a paperclip and a gum wrapper based on my memory or other team member's institutional knowledge and now we can capture it all, sometimes in the moment. We plan to be using Trainual indefinitely.
PROSThere are many things that I like the most about this software that have to do with features, but I think the features would not be useful if the platform wasn't designed with a foundation of a solid understanding of how small businesses function and scale. So, to start with, I love the philosophy and approach of Trainual as a company and the team as humans. Trickling down from there, the platform is designed that way - it is clear it is flexibly designed, but kept intuitive, and thoughtfully updated with feature requests that have the greatest impact across their users. The organization of the content makes it easy to jump right in to get something created along with the template gallery helping to streamline it all.
CONSI have two suggestions that are specific to how we use the platform, and I have submitted these are requests so I know they are in the hopper: 1) make the directory accessible through the mobile app. Often times when we hire new people, that is what we want them to be able to access and they are doing everything from their phones before they are in our workplace. 2) update the time stamping to track each time a subject/topic/step is completed for each employee. More Specifically, when you have to provide documentation to the department of labor for unemployment claims they may request evidence of the days/times that you asked someone to complete and then review a policy. In trainual, only the reviewed date is saved so you lose the evidence of the initial completion date. We have been in this pickle twice, and I would like to not to have to track all completions and reassignments outside of Trainual for compliance reasons.

Efficient and Engage Training Option
Trainual allows me to easily create and manage training materials, track employee progress, and ensure that everyone is up-to-date on the latest company policies and procedures. One of the standout features of Trainual is its user-friendly interface, which makes it easy for even non-technical team members to create and update training content.Another key benefit of Trainual is its ability to streamline the training process, reducing the amount of time and resources required to get new hires up to speed. With Trainual, our comprehensive training programs cover everything from onboarding to ongoing professional development, while tracking employee progress and completion.
PROSTrainual allowed our company to finally have ONE place to store training collateral. The user interface is friendly and functional, with features that appeal to all learners. I love the option to embed video, something we could never do with stand-alone PDFs. I also value the search that allows me to find every training piece with keywords. When we complete quarterly/yearly audits this allows me to easily locate all items that need to be updated.Lastly, I love being able to parcel training out and not overwhelm new hires with all content at once. Our training modules allow me to give them only access to that day's material, which is topic specific. This allows me to create a learning journey for them at the pace they need.
CONSThe testing process. I like the idea of testing employees, but being allowed to retake a test immediately after not passing leads the employee right back to the quiz, where they then try to guess the answer based on elimination. I would like to see the option when we build tests to link it back to the step in the process that is where the answer resides. Then when the user misses that question they are routed back there to actually re-read the content for the answer.
Reason for choosing Trainual
While we did not use an alternative product before, we were locally storing training materials on our own intranet. Due to the intranet placement in WordPress, we could not give many people access. That meant our WP team was managing our training content, this included not only storage but updating. This was not ideal. We were also not able to create the training journeys that Trainual supports.

Useful for ensuring that the organization's employees acquire the required skills and experience
With the help of Trainual, we efficiently completed all the necessary training. In addition, we ensured continuity of learning, improving the quality of communication between senior management and their employees, which makes assessments done with complete transparency.
PROSTrainual is an excellent tool for training and learning industry best practices because it ensures that all employees have received all relevant instructions, handouts, and training programs designed for their roles. I'm grateful for all the ways I can create the system to speed up the integration process with the rest of the team and get new employees up to speed faster. The tools are great because management can evaluate employee performance completely verbally. The ability of senior management to manage the organizational structure, as well as to organize the relationships between the different departments and to establish functional partnerships between them, is a precious asset provided by Trainual.
CONSTrainual is adaptable to the needs of any organization, has a user-friendly interface, is generally easy to use, is pleasant for employees, and offers enough customization options to ensure that all relevant information reaches employees promptly.

Excellent method of keeping any sized team up to date!
Very positive, rarely an issue from your apps or programs and the one time I did have trouble it was resolved promptly.
PROSMost useful is the simplicity and ability in sending specific trainings to specific members. If someone is struggling in one area we simply reset their training and go back over it with them. We are looking forward to teams so we can begin doing this by group as well!
CONSReally need to be able to categorize members into multilayered teams for ease and precision in what is being sent to train on.

Priceless Tool for Streamlining and Growth
Extremely positive. The tool flat out works. It's something that you get out what you put in. My recommendation for anyone looking into it is to have a strong plan and a devoted 'Trainual Champion' devoted to the buildout and implantation of the platform.
PROSTrainual is far and away the best value for any platform we have used. It's hard to determine what's more impactful, the cost savings or the added revenue generated from staying organized and properly training our people. I strongly recommend this tool to anyone wanting to scale their business in a healthy and sustainable way.
CONSThe cons I experience are items the Trainual team is working on developing. Not many negatives to this technology.
Reason for choosing Trainual
