"Exceptional Course Library and Responsive Support from Georgia"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

OpenSesame offers a lot of exceptional content on their platform to choose from. Georgia is wonderful to work with—she’s very responsive and always willing to help us pull courses together so we can decide what best fits our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

Integration of files to LCvista is very manual. Learning Objectives do not transfer over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Daniel Byun of OpenSesame

We're thrilled to hear that you find our course library exceptional and that Georgia has been so helpful and responsive. We appreciate your feedback about the integration process and learning objectives, and we'll certainly take that into consideration for future improvements.

"Engaging, Up-to-Date Courses with Fast Content Updates"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

The course contents are interesting and valuable. The update of the content and vendor are fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

Retiring courses are informed later. It would be good if the retired courses can state "Retired" instead let the users wait in the Loading screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Daniel Byun of OpenSesame

We're glad to hear that you find our course contents interesting and valuable, and that you appreciate the fast content updates. We understand your concern about retired courses and will work on improving the notification process to provide a better user experience.

Happy learning!

"Big Bang for Your Buck"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

Excellent customer service. Gold star treatment by knowledgeable, passionate, friendly professionals who truly want your company's L & D initiatives to be successful. Pricing is competitive with access to 10,000+ courses in a wide range of styles to suit a wide variety of learning types. There is literally something for everybody to learn in this library. Integrating Open Sesame with our HRIS, UKG was seamless. The website in easy to navigate. The AI curation feature gets better each time you use it and the ability to create and share lists with colleagues is a huge plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

My only criticism would be that the subscription is a little all or nothing. You can either have a set up per learner per month with up to 100 courses allowed in your library or you can have per learner per month with access to infinite courses in your library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Daniel Byun of OpenSesame

Hi Robin,

Glad to hear that our team is able to make you feel like a star! We will continue to do our best and provide our best in class support.

I have noted your feedback and will share it with the team.

"My tryst with Opensesame"

I would say for technical courses, the content does not reflect the current trends in the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great resource for small L&D teams"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

Our CSM is so helpful and knowledgeable. She is always available to support, answer questions, and brainstorm with our small L&D team. We see her as an extension of our team. Open Sesame has been a great way for us to quickly scale organizational wide development programming to all within our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

Continued focus on early access to courses related to emerging technology (ie. AI). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Daniel Byun of OpenSesame

Hi Claire,

Thank you for sharing your review and insights. Can you please help me understand your dislike with regards to our "continued focus on early access to courses related to emerging technology"?

"Seamless Learning Experience"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

The system is incredibly user friendly, with easy implementation and valuable features. The filters and reporting capabilities make tracking progress efficient. Customer Service is outstanding- attentive, responsive and always willing to assist. My CSM, Alissa B. is consistently available for questions and provides excellent support and resources, ensuring my needs are met in a timely manner. The curation team is extremely helpful and the new feature to curate a list has been a great addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

An area of opportunity in OpenSesame would be more independence to filter and create reports based on topics and users. I would like to be able to filter a report by topic to gather number of training hours and have the ability to see on users who are and are not using the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Daniel Byun of OpenSesame

Thank you for sharing your feedback and review with us, Janeen!

I will be sure to share your insights with our team.

Happy learning!

"Great content & even better customer support"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

We’ve had a fantastic experience working with OpenSesame—not just because of the wide variety of learning content but also because of the incredible partnership we’ve built with Brenna and the whole team. They’ve been responsive, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right learning solutions for our team.

The platform offers a strong mix of courses from various providers, making it easy to curate content that fits different learning needs and interests. OpenSesame is a valuable partner in our L&D strategy, and we truly appreciate the ongoing support from their team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

Overall our experience with OpenSesame has been great. If we had one wish, it would be for more consistency in course quality across providers and a more intuitive search experience to quickly surface the best content. However, I have seen improvements in the search feature and the content curation team turn back results incredibly fast when requested. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Daniel Byun of OpenSesame

Thank you for taking the time to leave a thoughtful review! Very happy to hear that you have built such a strong partnership with Brenna and the rest of our organization.

We appreciate you providing the feedback on the consistency of the course quality. Our curation team will continue to work with our publishers to provide the best quality content possible.

Happy learning!
