Some one-of-a-kind insights, some shortcomings.

What differentiates Brainshark from other similar products?

Brainshark LMS has most of the basic functionalities of any LMS, but offers three clear, unique propositions not found elsewhere: 1. The coaching add-on is excellent and easy to employ for making engaging e-learning experiences. 2. Brainshark's content creation engine is easy to use for even non-training professionals. 3. The reporting on Brainshark-created content is outstanding, providing content engagement insights not found with most LMS platforms. 4. The ability to publish and host outward-facing content is particularly cost-effective for reseller training and public consumption, and not available with most LMS platforms.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The coaching platform is not super-well integrated, but the creation, grading, and submission process for coaching activities is all very smooth.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are a few downsides to Brainshark as well. The ability to report and automate reporting is present, but reporting options are very limited compared to competitor LMSs. The Coaching and Scorecards functions feel like a different product (because they were an acquisition), and don't always play well with the rest of the platform. There's a steep learning curve to getting them all to harmonize. There are very limited "rules" available for assignment and completion criteria. You may have to be clever with workarounds to make the system perform as you wish.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

At it's core, Brainshark is a LMS that gets the job done, and has some compelling functions found nowhere else. The add-ons and features related to coaching activities, the content creation engine, and the public-facing options make it very attractive as an LMS for small and medium, sales-forward companies in industries where there are not significant legal/compliance hurdles related to training, and there is a limited need for a full-fledged LMS. For larger organizations, I would recommend getting a seasoned LMS administrator demo access to go through some of the admin functions and really test it out fully before committing.
