"Amazing selection of courses"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

I use OpenSesame courses at my company for all of our employees, but I also take advantage of them myself! The courses are well-made and offer valuable insights not just for work, but for other areas of life as well. From work-life balance to neurodiversity and skill development, the variety of courses available is immense! I also appreciate the customer service. They are quick and responsive and make sure that there is a satisfactory outcome to all requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

The least helpful aspect for me is reporting. It can be challenging to get a quick overview of what someone has completed, especially when they’re working through a list of courses. While it's possible to get the information I need, it's not as intuitive as I'd like, and it often takes me longer to figure it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The team at OpenSesame is fantastic to work with! Each quarter, our success representative shares the latest content publishers and releases now available or coming soon. She also provides us with metrics of our usage and new time-saving tools and resources that OpenSesame has to offer. Should we need assistance, someone always responds quickly to our queries. OpenSesame content is easy to view, select, and build into our LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Backbone to your L&D Program"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

I champion OpenSesame for the wealth of educational tools available in its content package. There's a variety of publishers that offer options to fit every learning style in addition to the vast amount of content made available to its users. The software is easy to navigate and upload into an existing HRIS platform. OpenSesame's Customer Service is next to none. The team is very accommodating and willing to answer any questions as well as step up to the plate to troubleshoot issues when they arise. OpenSesame has created the backbone behind my company's L&D program that has only enhanced capabilities for learners and administrators as well. There is no other company I would consider partnering with to supplement our L&D program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

I have nothing negative to say about OpenSesame. It fits the needs of my organization completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OpenSesame delivers robust content"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

Access to new, timely, and modern content for training and development of our 500+ employees. The customer success team takes the time to learn about our company's needs and priorities and curates content that aligns with the learning needs of our employee-base. Content remains relevant for new hires and licenses, certified operators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

Honing in on the vast library can be overwhelming to try and identify the published work from multiple vendors and identifying the content that most resonates with team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OpenSesame Account Owner for Our Organization"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

I really like the depth and breadth of their catalog. They have courses on all manner of topics as well all different styles. I especially like their vendors for executive book summaries.

In addition to the catalog itself, everyone I have worked with there has been a pleasure. Both my initial sales person (Angie) and my current account rep. (Leo) are fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

The catalog is very broad. There definitely are a large number of courses that don't really provide value. It is certainly a lot to sift through, though their curation team is always standing by to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

I work with Richard White from OpenSesame. He is attentive and goes above and beyond to ensure my needs were met. He is consistent, quick to resolve issues with a friendly and helpful attitude. Working with Richard and the OpenSesame team to create a custom bundle that works for us has been a positive experience from the ease of implementation to the user-friendly admin system. OpenSesame has a great selection of training courses. Overall, the team is very knowledgeable and they provide excellent follow-up after the service was completed, making sure their client is completely satisfied.

"OpenSesame is a leader in Content Providers"
5/5

The variety of content providers and the support received from our Customer Success Manager is outstanding.

Our CSM keeps us informed on important updates and information that is important to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OpenSesame"
5/5
What do you like best about OpenSesame?

OpenSesame offers an extensive course catalog, covering everything from project management to personal development to workplace safety and many topics in between. We have a training team of one person for many departments. The off-the-shelf training allows us to offer courses that are relevant to our diverse workforce and to align with departmental and organizational goals. Self-paced courses allow our learners to visit the material at their convenience. The OpenSesame course catalog is intuitive and easy to navigate. Searching for specific courses and topics is easy. Courses are easy to load into our LMS, despite the limitations of our current LMS. The OpenSesame Curation support is a fantastic benefit of working with OpenSesame. I can put in a training request to get customized suggestions for courses rather than having to sift through 26,000+ courses on my own.

OpenSesame provides exceptional customer service. Martyn W. worked with me every step of the way to provide information and demos whenever needed during the procurement process. Martyn continues to provide support well after the contract has been executed. LaRonda, our Customer Success Manager, has been a valuable asset in rolling out our new training program and providing continued support. LaRonda M. is clearly knowledgeable, passionate, and enthusiastic about what OpenSesame offers and is there for me whenever I have questions or need help. I always look forward to interacting with LaRonda. Her positive outlook and friendliness make for an enjoyable partnership. Additionally, OpenSesame provides outstanding customer support for our learners via phone call, email, or chat. Response times are setting records - Chat is answered with 15 seconds and emails within 15 minutes. Wow! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSesame?

I don't have any dislikes. Working with OpenSesame has been nothing but positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
