"Interactive platform and 24/7 support in multiple languages: great experience with Busuu"
5/5
What do you like best about Busuu?

I like that it has the option to study up to 14 languages, I like the interactivity of the platform for users, I like the platform management part for administrators, I like having a Busuu representative in charge of the account to resolve issues constantly, I like that they offer technical service for my employees 24/7 in different languages, I like the type of learning methodology both on the platform and in private classes.

What do you dislike about Busuu?

Busuu has several areas of opportunity. On previous occasions, we have requested the option to track the time spent using the platform and the study time for each student, independently within their profiles.

Another important opportunity is the complexity of the reports: it is very confusing to know which report I should select and which filters I should use. Furthermore, there is no unified and centralized report that gives me all the concentrated information; multiple reports have to be generated and several efforts made to obtain it.

There is also no report for the administrator that is easy to read and includes total study times, levels, and placement test results. Lastly, the function to add friends is also a bit difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and Intuitive, Ideal for Personalized Learning"
4/5
What do you like best about Busuu?

I use Busuu to improve my English. It helps me not to be afraid of judgment and allows me to practice whenever and wherever I want. I also like the simplicity and accessibility of the platform. I particularly appreciate the e-learning section which allows me to choose my level and theme, and organize myself as I wish. Busuu really adapts to the person with a representative level test that directs towards suitable exercises. This is valuable for me because I can choose what I want to improve, whether it's grammar, vocabulary, or expressing myself on vacation or in a work context. The interface is also very intuitive.

What do you dislike about Busuu?

It may be the part of the courses with teachers that is very different depending on the teacher. For some teachers, it's simply a discussion for 45 minutes on various topics, for others, it's exercises with a presentation. It might be interesting to notify the course structure in the choice of teachers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Busuu Empowers Admin Autonomy and can adapt to any level of learners"
5/5
What do you like best about Busuu?

The most helpful things about Busuu are the autonomy that administrators have in updating the students' list, donwloading custom reports and the support of the Customer Success teams in the performance follow-ups Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Busuu?

The Speaking reports aren't linked to the general scoring of the students. We have speaking reports and reports of the self-paced learning separately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Busuu/Glovo Review"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Busuu?

Overall, what we value most is the availability of languages, although the platform could improve further by leveraging AI to develop more options. Partner support is also good: responsive and solution-oriented.

In terms of UX, as admins we are not very familiar with the learning course experience. That said, we would appreciate a higher percentage of weekly engagement across all the licenses we have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Busuu?

I believe the platform could improve its integration features, such as its APIs, which would be especially helpful for partners with larger user volumes and more complex internal reporting processes. Additionally, we would greatly value a more automated approach to license availability, for example, a reassignment process that frees up licenses from users who have been inactive and haven’t done anything for a month.

The work dashboard is very clear, practical, and easy to use. Additionally, the staff's response has always been very good and quick when I have needed help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Busuu?

It would be very convenient to be able to generate contracts for 6 months or less. When we started using the exercise platform, it was very basic; it has improved over time, but it still has room for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good platform, but catastrophic licensing and cumbersome learning time tracking"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Busuu?

The platform is good and the price is right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Busuu?

The allocation of licenses is a disaster. The licenses are eventually allocated, but our students still cannot register, or their learning time is not recorded, or the learning times do not match the student's measurement. You must please adjust this. The same goes for viewing the learning time by the registered user themselves. It is so cumbersome that our customer constantly contacts us - we generate the Excel table - search for the learning time and inform our customer. And we do this repeatedly, because our customers must prove at least 45 hours in a language. This is administratively unreasonable. Honestly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
