# BlueVolt LMS Reviews **Vendor:** BlueVolt **Category:** [Corporate Learning Management Systems](https://www.g2.com/categories/corporate-learning-management-systems) **Average Rating:** 4.2/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 54 ## About BlueVolt LMS BlueVolt: The LMS Built for the Channel Most LMS platforms are built for internal teams. BlueVolt is built for the channel — the manufacturers, distributors, buying groups, and associations that need training to move through an entire network, not just a single org chart. That does not mean replacing what you already have. BlueVolt works alongside your existing systems, extending training out to the partners, reps, and customers a standard LMS was never designed to reach. The result is a connected learning ecosystem where product knowledge, brand messaging, and sales enablement move together through your entire channel. Built for Every Part of the Channel Manufacturers use BlueVolt to push product training directly to distributor networks, building brand preference at the counter. Distributors use it to onboard employees faster and access supplier training from day one. Buying groups and associations use it to deliver more value to members and become the central hub for industry knowledge in their space. The BlueVolt Sharing Network At the core of BlueVolt is something no general-purpose LMS offers: a course-sharing network connecting over 1.2 million learners across construction, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial trades. Publish once, distribute everywhere. You are not just buying a platform. You are plugging into an ecosystem that is already active in your industry. A Platform That Scales With You BlueVolt offers options for every stage of growth, from a low-commitment Publisher Program for manufacturers just getting started, to a fully branded SaaS University for organizations building a long-term learning strategy. Start where you are. Scale as you grow. ## BlueVolt LMS Reviews ### 1. Exactly what you want in a learning platform (that has an LMS) **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2020 **What do you like best about BlueVolt LMS?** I get exactly what I need for my learners and I have an easy to use dashboard to monitor their performance. Blue Volt is continuing to evolve and the sharing center where I can access content from manufacturers and easily drop into my LMS makes me feel like I am part of an ecosystem where I can connect with partners to help achieve my objectives and grow my business. **What do you dislike about BlueVolt LMS?** Could have a better UI design. Doesn't have the level of support I would hope for. **Recommendations to others considering BlueVolt LMS:** Think hard about what you want in a learning platform/LMS. You certainly can pay more and have a more complicated system that takes longer for users and admins to get up to speed but do you need anything else? We got what we wanted at a price that we were very pleased with... **What problems is BlueVolt LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a reasonably priced, easy to use LMS and we wanted as a separate initiative to connect with more partners in our space. With Blue Volt we get both in one platform! ### 2. Good system, a little buggy, high company turnover **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 17, 2021 **What do you like best about BlueVolt LMS?** The system is easy to use. End users can usually find what they're looking for quickly. The ability for suppliers to share content into our university is a major plus. The technical support is usually very responsive, although there have been a couple of times when things have lingered on for a while. **What do you dislike about BlueVolt LMS?** The system has its bugs for sure. It gets confused when assigning multiple training tracks to a user resulting in rework. Basically, it will delete the first training track when you add the second one. We've learned to work around this, since the BlueVolt support team was unable to recreate this error that happens on a regular basis. The system is constantly getting updates, which is great except that the menus and where things are located change as well, which is frustrating. It's almost like when Microsoft updates Excel and just shuffles everything around. It takes time to relearn where everything is again. These updates also make the how-to videos that they have obsolete since the dropdown menus are all different. There seems to be a lot of turnover with the customer success managers. Even during our implementation 3 years ago we had a change which delayed our launch. Just this year, we've had 4 different CSM's. Being assigned a CSM that is new to the BlueVolt system is frustrating. It's of no fault of their own, however, they are unable to answer questions that I may have. I typically just bypass my CSM and send issues straight to the support group. **What problems is BlueVolt LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's been very good at getting all of our training into one system. We utilize our LMS for a variety of training, including onboarding, compliance, product, OJT, personal development, ILT and job-specific training. We've significantly reduced the number of systems where training throughout our organization resides, which has made it much easier to keep track of training overall. **Official Response from Lisa Rigdon:** > Thanks for your BlueVolt review! We love listening to our customers and looking for ways to continuously improve. While updates are a regular part of any SaaS platform, we don't want you to ever feel lost. We are in the process of overhauling our knowledge base articles to give customers the best user experience possible, and we appreciate your patience. Also, we do apologize for your negative experiences with our Customer Success Managers (CSMs). We have been upgrading our onboarding and training processes so that CSMs have a deeper understanding of technical issues in the platform, making them a top-of-the-line resource for your needs. Always feel free to contact Support at any time, but we also encourage you to communicate with your CSM for questions about strategy, platform usage, best practices, and partner relationship questions. Take care and thanks again for your review. ### 3. BlueVolt Insights **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 26, 2021 **What do you like best about BlueVolt LMS?** I like that everything is digital and no paper - and the reminders. All of our trainings (Product and Safety) are in one spot. It is very helpful for us to find what we are needing in one spot. **What do you dislike about BlueVolt LMS?** Sometimes I forget to do the training right away BUT the reminders are very helpful. Honestly, from a user standpoint, there are no complaints. I have not had to be an admin to anything but from the employee level of me taking trainins, I have no complaints. **Recommendations to others considering BlueVolt LMS:** Keep in mind everything you would like to have access to. Some of our vendors don't support having their product raining on BV which is okay but as I have mentioned, it is very nice to have everything under one roof. **What problems is BlueVolt LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Getting our entire company their safety training in a timely manner each month - all in one location. Safety and product training are all under one login with is extremely helpful to keep everyone on the dame page **Official Response from Lisa Rigdon:** > Thanks for leaving a review about BlueVolt! We appreciate all feedback because we want to know what we’re doing well and where we have room to grow. Glad the reminders help! Thank you again for the review. ### 4. My exoerience has been positibe working with BlueVolt- the people are great **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2021 **What do you like best about BlueVolt LMS?** The people are great, helpful and knowledgeable. Overall I like the platform itself, and I have had few issues with user experience, all of which were resolved quickly and most of which had to do with user error. **What do you dislike about BlueVolt LMS?** The setup of the pages themselves could be more intuitive, drag and drop or suggested template pages. I would also like to have more email options in terms of templates and tracking like open %. I would also like the site to track metrics like the last time a user logged in, how often users log in, etc. **What problems is BlueVolt LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Self-paced learning capability for the people who sell our products. Agility to adapt to changing business needs and be able to communicate those changes quickly to the registered audience. Metrics that help us see what people engage with to make better decisions on how to spend training dollars. **Official Response from Lisa Rigdon:** > Thanks for leaving a review about BlueVolt!

Look elsewhere! **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2021 **What do you like best about BlueVolt LMS?** Vendors are able to directly load their courses into the system. **What do you dislike about BlueVolt LMS?** There is a laundry list....each time I send in a request, you get an auto response then usually the next day another response. Often the responses aren't detailed enough so it takes several attempts to get the answer. I don't like the dashboard and the way it is situated. I don't like that I have forklift course that will only run in Firefox due to BV. I don't like how much it I have to do - I think there should be more done on BV's part. It is cumbersome and tacky to deal with. I dread each time I must interact with the program. **Recommendations to others considering BlueVolt LMS:** Stay away! **What problems is BlueVolt LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** None. My rep, Don R, is fantastic. He is easy to Zoom with and tries to keep our company on track for our goals. I've said he is the only reason I have anything positive to say about BV. **Official Response from Lisa Rigdon:** > Thanks for leaving a review about BlueVolt! We appreciate all feedback, because we want to know what we’re doing well and where we have room to grow. We're sorry you didn't have an ideal experience with our company, but we appreciate you taking the time to let us know. ### 6. Trying to be too much all at once **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2021 **What do you like best about BlueVolt LMS?** The employees are helpful and genuinely want to help you build your best university. The support team is very knowledgeable and typically offers answers to questions promptly. There is also a lot of manufacturer and vendor courses available to be shared with our university. **What do you dislike about BlueVolt LMS?** Although there are a lot of vendor courses that are shared, it can be very cumbersome to get them added and organized to our university. This is especially challenging when our main focus right now is building our own content. Being emailed to add and highlight courses that are not our own is frustrating because we know these are not the courses our employees are looking for at this time. **What problems is BlueVolt LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?** It feels like BlueVolt has lost sight of who they are; they are trying to be too many things in the LMS space. First and foremost, I view BlueVolt as an LMS provider, and they do an okay job; I would like to see more enhancements with quizzing and functionality within the course setup. Less with reporting, monetizing our university, and their content building/sharing. **Official Response from Lisa Rigdon:** > Thank you for writing your BlueVolt review! Feedback is the only way we can grow as a company, and your comments will guide us as we move forward. We apologize if any platform emails made you feel pressured to add content not relevant to your users. If you are willing, we would like the opportunity to fix that. Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager to discuss strategy and your preferences on email notifications. We look forward to hearing from you, and thanks again for your feedback. ### 7.

BlueVolt Setup Made Easy **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Peter C. | Marketing Communications Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 15, 2021 **What do you like best about BlueVolt LMS?** The responsiveness of our Customer Success team is amazing. They helped us get up to speed more quickly than I thought possible. **What do you dislike about BlueVolt LMS?** There's a LOT to learn, but that's because the platform is so flexible and customizable.
